K everyone, rate my fit. Yoke too deep? Enough neck shaping? Right amount of ease?? Maybe I need to find a different model. 😆 Test call (and pics with a more appropriately proportioned model) coming really really soon!

I knit the last half of my sleeve on the wrong needle size 😭 But we all do this sort of thing on the regular, right? Right?! (Please don't tell me I'm the only one!)

Almost done! Who would've thought that designing a hand knit fingering-weight colorwork sweater would take so long? 😂

Test call for this nerdy pullover is coming soon.

Also...has anyone figured out the design theme yet? 🎮 😉

I started this top yesterday and it fits a little in the #showmeyourknits pink theme.
What gets me. See the little piece of VM in the middle of circle? This is 100% silk and I can’t figure out why lots of Veggie Matter is everywhere in the yarn. With wool -yes, I know. But silk? Thoughts? #knitsky

Tried a really good tutorial for a slip knot & casting on but my brain refuses to cooperate. Worst thing is trying to explain even to myself why I can’t just make my hands do what I want. Feel like crying. #neurodivergent #dyspraxia #knitting #knitsky #knittingcommunity

A few more pics from #flockfiberfestival. Lots of inspiration everywhere, and plenty of good places to chill for a bit and knit.

Mein Hide and Peak Pullover von @maxtheknitter.bsky.social ist seit über zwei Jahren fertig – doch trotz Maschenprobe war er zu eng. 🙈 Aber jetzt passt er endlich! 🎉 Ich liebe das Muster, aber typisch nordamerikanisch: die Ärmel sind etwas eng! Kennt ihr dss auch? 💬👇

Finally finished after one year! I just had to weave in the ends! Admittedly, I cheated and only knotted the threads, but otherwise I would never have done it. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
