I think...I want to try knitting again?
What are your favorite "getting started" resources?
I'm a lefty, and while I have gotten pretty adept at transposing crochet instructionals done by right-handed folks I would not be sad to receive lefty-specific recommendations!

well so much for deciding to knit the Foliosa shawl in pale greens.
My favourite yarn dyer just released her Spring 2023 colour and I love it.
Order 800m and it just arrived, looks even better.

Time to start a new #spinning project at the wheel. :spinningwheel:
This is 16oz of Shetland roving, all from a ewe named Meghan at Valley View Farm (https://valleyviewfarmwa.com). 🐑
It's already surprisingly soft, so hopefully the resulting yarn will be as well. 16oz is gonna take a while, so I'll have to wait to find out.

The museum itself had some beautiful Indigenous weavings though so it was worth the visit. #textiles #fibrearts

Picked up a WIP shawl (had a rolled edge similar to Icord). Started knitting and realised I couldn't remember how I'd done the rolled edge. Fiddled for hours, searched the internet, but couldn't replicate it....argh! Pulled it all undone...boohoo.
Began something else...a new shawl. Completed the first 130 rows. About to start the first lace section.

After knitting 6 shawls and 2 scarves in a row I'm now knitting a pair of socks for a break before more shawls...lol
Hand-dyed yarns knitted in basketweave and stocking stitch.

Saw this shawl on Instagram & had to buy the pattern.

Definitely won't be making it in pink but thought maybe soft green.

Been offline for a week after eye surgery so picked up my knitting after a couple of days.
Wasn't happy with original idea for granddaughter's shawl so started & finished a different design. Going to undo the other and use this pattern instead.
Though the other was too 'heavy/old' for them.
Need to block this and add tassels to 2 corners.
Anyhow - back to editing...

558 followers · 1882 posts · Server mastodon.nzPlanning to start my first ever large knitted, fitted item today and it's a bit intimidating. It's a vastly bigger project than socks. I've swatched. I'm trying the Fluffy Pouf cardi from Ravelry as by the time I finish it, it will probably be too hot to wear a pullover for several months. #knitting #FibreArts

Spent the morning working on my publisher's edits then gave my arms a workout.
Balled up 16 hand-dyed skeins for two shawls for my two grandaughters. I don't knit much in summer and as I want these for December I figured I'd better put any other WIPs aside and get started on these.
During El Nino it often reaches 46c (115f) - too hot to knit. Sadly could possibly go pass that figure this year.

Started knitting Snow Gum (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/snow-gum). Using 3 of the colours I balled up the other day.
Only knitting late afternoon/evening as I have my 1st round of edits from my publisher for my next book.

Finished one WIP. No real pattern, just meandered along until I ran out of the wool I'd set aside for it.
4ply (fingering) approx. 800m used. (400m main colour, 80m each of other 5 colours), 4mm needle.
