Cast off the first sock earlier today! I had to use yarn from my second accent skein so I'm thinking of switching to a different color on the next sock. I might do a variegated yarn from a previous sock pattern

I have a feeling this is a game of yarn chicken I won't be winning...

A close up image of a very small amount of dark yellow yarn attached to the working end of a knitted sock. The sock and yarn are laid on a wooden floor.

A full view of the previous image. The dark yellow yarn lays to the left of the sock that has colors changing - green on the foot, yellow at the heel, and orange to brown on the leg.

Had to make the unfortunate decision to frog back 5 rows on my knitted tee because I got too confused and had a random hole in the sleeve. It's always hard to undo so much work but I know I'll end up much happier with the finished project if I take the time now 😢

these socks were getting a bit ragged after 12 years of wear (v relatable). I only had bits of the grey yarn left and it seemed a shame to lose the neat spiral pattern on the heel, so I went with visible mending (more like hi-vis with that pink 😅). hashtag sustainable fashion amirite #knitting 🧶

a pair of hand knit socks laid out on a table. one is blue at the top and grey at the foot, the other is the opposite. both have brightly coloured patches of darning on the heels.

Absolutely speeding through this project 🧦 🧶 I'm seriously loving this pattern and Highly recommend it!!! It has a medium and large size (I'm knitting a large). The chart is clear and I'm finally getting it memorized so the second sock should be a breeze!

A pair of hand knit socks are shown on a spongy bed of kelp on an outcropping of rocks near the ocean. The socks are displayed on wooden sock blockers from “Woodico”. The design is knit sideways using short rows to create an overall pattern where the gradient yarn pools within the different shapes during knitting. The gradient yarn changes from a hunter green, to indigo and violet, cranberry hues, turquoise, lime green and grey. It’s a really gorgeous yarn! The shapes are separated by lines in a white tone.

These are only my second ever color work project 🧶🧵 and while my tension isn't perfect, it's definitely improving! I'm already learning a few tricks and this glove feels like it's Flying off my needles ☕️

A work in progress of a knit mitten. There is about 3 inches of fabric and the design is of coffee beans. The background color is a light grey and the color of the beans is a black. The glove is resting on a coffee table.

There was a time in late summer when I was obsessed with sunset colours (we get gorgeous sunsets in the prairies). This piece is made with yarn from Germany. My mom sent it to me (I live in 🇨🇦) 🥰 🧶

Another new project on the needles 🧶 This time a Christmas gift for my mom. Pattern I'm using is linked below :)

A 2 inch section of bottom-up hand knit mitts. There is black ribbing for the wrist and light misty grey background yarn. There is a hand on the right of the screen holding the knit flat to show off the design. The design can not be made out yet.

The coffee beans are in black yarn.
