What what? Strawberry fields forever 🍓❤️🍰 @knitting #knittersofmastodon #intentionalholes

#fiberuary is over, but March is National Crochet Month! The Longmont Yarn Shoppe is "yarnbombing" a tree in front of the store. In the spirit of #IntentionalHoles week, here's the strip of crocheted-together granny squares being given a loopy edge that will make it easier to affix it to the tree.

That loopy edge is:

sc, [ch2, skip 1 stitch, sc in next stich]* to end of row.

The plan is to install all the pieces on Friday, so I should be able to share some photos then!

For the last day of #Fiberuary, here is my biggest beaded lace project to date. I replaced the pattern's ribbed border with a modified Victorian lace pattern vaguely reminiscent of Daleks, replacing the nupps with beading. I call it Smaller on the Outside.

Tom Baker is my Doctor. Fight me!

Pattern: Bigger on the Inside (Knitty)
Yarn: Knit Picks Gloss Fingering, colorway Winter Night

Last day of #Fiberuary my post to say thank you @gannet for organising this that made everyone feel part of #FiberArts I didn’t think I would join in! It has helped me to see what I have knit & what I need to learn, inspired by the work I have seen I don’t have a fix/mend to add today just a photo of swatches to show #ColourworkKnitting #Texture #IntentionalHoles a journal with thoughts which I intend to keep with my plans to focus on finishing details of garments & accessories

Time to close the heel of my second afterthought-fleegleheel-sock.

Last day for #intentionalholes so here is my current lace project. It is called What's New Pussycat. At the very top you can see the start of the next colour. I miss counted at the start of that row, realized my mistake at the end of the row, and carefully unpicked 293 stitches of double decreases and yarn overs. All good now.

#Fiberuary - last day of #IntentionalHoles

Today the most basic type of "#lace " sts - yarn overs. All they do here is create the v-neck shaping.

Pattern is "Wednesday Morning" from Drops, yarn is #handspun #Corridale from World of Wool. Yarn was aran weight instead of worsted, so I made one size smaller.

My daughter gets a lot of compliments for the sweater, especially when she says it's #handknit

Mayvala shawl by Valerie Lenton. Was enjoyable to knit #knitting #Fiberuary #IntentionalHoles @knitting

My last #Fiberuary #IntentionalHoles #DeliberateHoles pic is of a Hardanger table topper with picots that I made some time ago. (It's been hibernating; rolled and in storage, hence the need for some restorative care, re-blocking and pressing) I prefer more interesting needle weaving techniques, but there are intentional holes aplenty here!

One more #intentionalholes . This is my first finish of 2023, a cowl called Free Flowing Cowl. Yarn is Merino and silk, my favourite for knitting lace. The holes in the lace trap air to create a very cozy neck warmer. (Dead air space from my thermodynamics training.)

#Fiberuary - #IntentionalHoles day 6

#Lace #knitting - pattern is "Shetland Tea Shawl" - a traditional #shetland shawl, circular, extremely lacy.

I've given it away a long time ago, because while I very much enjoyed knitting it (it went surprisingly quickly) I'm absolutely not the person to wear such shawls.

The most fascinating thing is always the transformation that happens through blocking.

Love this Jane Sowerby stole pattern. #Knitting #Fiberuary #IntentionalHoles #Lace @knitting

Today's #IntentionalHoles post shows how I spent a lot of covidtime. I worked out bespoke patterns for cold-weather and warm-weather caps that fit my husband. This is the warm-weather one. It's mostly mesh; by the time I was done refining the pattern, I had gone from calling it Meshy to naming it Joe Mesci, just because I like the sound of it.

#Fiberuary #knitting

Pattern: Joe Mesci (not yet published)
Yarn: Tahki Yarns Cotton Classic, colorway Almond

My pure wool vest fits in with #Fiberuary #IntentionalHoles #DeliberateHoles theme. An easy, fun #FairIsle knit.

It’s done! Blocked and added to Ravelry and ready to be wrapped and shipped out next week to baby. I’m so looking forward to the new parents receiving it. And also, welcoming the mental bandwidth to start my next project, this time for me. #Fiberuary #intentionalHoles #knitting #WoolLeaves #JaredFlood

Sharing some more #IntentionalHoles for this #fiberuary week and catching up on missed #caturday
This is Aurelia Shawl by Charles Voth available on Ravelry and Lovecraft. I made it with Hobbii Cotton Kings gradient cake yarn. Our Samantha was helping me finish it.

When I was a poor student ...

#Fiberuary - #IntentionalHoles in #crochet.

I was a student in the 1990ies - back when knitting went mostly out of style, #lys disappeared and good #knitting #yarn was hard to find and / or very expensive.

Cotton thread could be bought at #IKEA for 4 DM for 2,000 m. That amount went a looong way. So I crocheted doilies, which now live at my mom's house (bad pictures as I can't access them easily). 0.6 mm hook.
