Spent the first half of the day with the devil in his heart, and now he’s a sweet baby.

I’m always a little disappointed every year that my book related apps don’t offer a wrapped thingy. 📚💙

This sweater has been nothing but problems. Haven’t even gotten a chance to wear it yet. 👍🏻 #crochet #grannysquares #knitsky I’m sure it’s totally fixable but what a bummer.

After weeks of knitting with worsted weight acrylic yarn sock needles feel like brain surgery. #knitsky 🧶 🎃

Pattern is Citrouilles d’Halloween by Ingrid Baudine

Winging a basic-ish raglan often results in fully ripping back to the collar and starting over 🤷🏻‍♀️ Brioche short rows are no joke. 🧶#knitsky

Wearing wools socks and drinking my first cup of hot tea of the season 🧶🧡

Casually decided I don’t really need any more #handknitsocks and shouldn’t really buy yarn unless it’s to finish projects I’ve already started and I happened upon three sock patterns that I can’t live without and don’t have the yarn for. #knitsky 🧶🧦

Finished one and made a second. I never wear jewelry anymore but I’ve got a cart full and waiting with more colors. #beading #beadweaving #handmade

Everything is stressful lately but #beading has been bringing me some peace.

Trapped in bed with the scaredy dog for thunderstorm day. Maybe I’ll finally finish my Island Time Blanket from Nautikrall Crochet. #crochetersinthesky

Do I get a gold star for getting all my sweaters washed and vacuum sealed for summer? #knitsky

Working on a little scrappy cardigan for a baby gift. As per usual I’m considering starting over. Does the tan read too fleshy for anyone else? #knitsky

Lately I’ve been having what I like to call a mundane nightmare every night. Last night was going through sandwich bags of beaded costume jewelry and deciding what to keep. And not saving them to be reused at a later date…

It’s incredible what an inkling of hope feels like.

I’m just a sucker for self striping socks. 🧶 #knitsky

All 99 starbursts done! Now to start turning them into a blanket.

Aesthetically, I love a sewn bind off on a sweater. I do not love unpicking 44 inches of it. 🧶 #knitsky
