hello friends

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.

I've a goodly number of and here's my experience of - YMMV. NB: untreated animal fibre yarns.

Most of my shawls are majority garter stitch, namely Shetland-style haps. These comprise a large garter triangle, lace border on two sides, and a narrow lace edge to finish those sides.

1/2

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.

My wife and I were born in two different planets. We somehow met at the right time on this microwaved planet called Earth and decided to stay together. She's not a but knows how to like fairies do. She has silvery hair like a character. I showed her Sephirot from FFVII and Jill from FFXVI. She agreed. Today is her birthday :blobcathuggies:

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: there's something incredibly satisfying about a neat line of decreases on a sock

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.

I created a blanket with all the textured knitted swatches I've knit this year. It's the size of a lap blanket is quite heavy. The yarn is an acrylic/cotton blend I found here in Chiang Mai.

My Tara Top is complete! This was a fun knit and I love the look of the garter raglan increases for the sleeves and the garter stitches that travel down the sides.

Started a new woven pattern throw with fall colors, pattern originally by mamainastitch. Thinking about switching over to aluminum needles because the bamboo are absolutely killing my hands and wrists, and I don't think I can do a whole throw without destroying them. I love the look of the pattern, but I am definitely suffering for my craft today ha.
