Never attempt to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and it annoys the pig.

Sure.. just let me know what pattern you need help with. I’m on my phone at the moment, so I can’t see which post you’re replying to.

meerbuschknitter.bsky.social @meerbuschknitter.bsky.social · 7d

Good luck! Just message me if you need any help. I can send you the chart as a big excel if that helps...

This week is the theme of #joy on #showmeyouknits. For me it’s wearing something that I designed and made myself. Here it’s the cardigan, scarf and socks. In joyful colours.

I just finished writing up my latest cushion design. It's part of a marine life set I'm working on. As ever I added an "Easter egg" quote on the reverse for visitors to discover. I hope you like it!

This was one of my early attempts at a Fair Isle-type cardigan. I went a bit mad with the colours... but I loved this garment and wore it until it was threadbare. #stricken #knitting #knittinginspiration #knitsky #yarn #knittingart 🧶

No, I only sell the patterns. Each sweater takes around 100 hours to knit, so you can’t realistically price them even if you wanted to make a living that way. 😅
