A question for #knitters. Do you prefer magic loop over dpns and if so how hard was it to learn? Would you recommend it to someone with occasional brain fog? Yes, indeed I do suffer from second sock syndrome. #knitting #knitter #fibreart

Great American Aran Afghan, one of my most loved projects on Ravelry. Took 14 months to knit, finished in April 2010.

My partner is a #knitter, a #spinner, and a #yarn #snob. I asked her, and her answer was "#Socks if there's enough yarn for them, fingerless gloves otherwise. Or maybe a Sophie #scarf."

She loves knitting socks.

I have no idea what that scarf is, though.

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.

I love this #knitting quote by Elizabeth Zimmermann. I whole heartily agree :)

My first #spinning project is COMPLETE! 🎉

2kg of undyed multicoloured Corriedale from Ashford. Nearly 3000 yards of yarn.

Because it's my first project, the yarn gauge changes dramatically from first skein to last. (first kg: ~800yd; second kg: ~1800yd)

This will complicate the plan to use it for a sweater, but I'm an accomplished enough
#knitter to be able to make it work well.

The photo is cropped on my screen - yet this #knitter #nerd *still* recognised the photo portrait from the cardigan pattern *facepalm*

It's been absolutely gorgeous weather for #knitting outside, I can't get enough of this warm air and gentle breeze. Definitely great weather for dusting off those long-standing projects to see the light of day while watching for butterflies.

What's currently on my needles: a cable and rib afghan with Tahki Yarns. When Webs had a big closeout of the discontinued Tahki yarn line Manchester, I scooped up twenty or so skeins and I'm pretty happy with it so far. It's a (45%) highland wool, (35%) alpaca, and (20%) acrylic blend, and I'm looking forward to snuggle up under this baby when the cooler weather comes (and when the project is done =P).

Not a pretty photo or item at the moment but not every #WIP is pretty right off the bat. I'm trusting in the fiber gods that it's going to block out beautifully.

Hello, world!!

I'm not new to this platform exactly, but this is a new username-- I'm starting over with my actual name so help keep all my photography content under the same 'recognition', so to speak. You'll recognize the photos in my feed as I re-post a couple of things to populate my feed, so if you feel like you've seen a photo of mine before there's a good chance you have, over the next couple of days. 😀

As always and just like my original account intro mentioned, I'd love to get cozy and find a bunch of other creatives to follow. Looking to connect with #writers, #photographers, #floral artists, and trad medium folks.

I'm a cut #flower #gardener, #photographer, #writer, #reader, #knitter, and art history nerd.

My IG and art prints are listed on my profile, as well as my writing account creativewriting.social/@aliteraldumpsterfire

@erika Hi Erika, and welcome! I’m a #knitter, #handspinner, and my daughter enjoys #needlefelting. My favorite children’s books are The Snowy Day and The Tomten.

@Bronwyn Hi Bronwyn! I’m a #knitter and a #handspunner. There’s a bunch of us here.

2/4 What more could a #knitter want?

Wrote 1k words on my novel this morning then picked up my knitting.
Up to row 11 of #psychedelicaKAL . Had to undo a little with earlier rows but think I've got it figured out now.

Finished the first stripped section of #psychedelicaKAL & started on the next section. Did something wrong so had to undo & redo the 2nd row. Hopefully the 3rd works better 🤣

Started on #psychedelicaKAL yesterday. I'm using ChaioGoo red lace needles this time. Usually knit with KnitPro Symfonie for all my projects but I'd read some good reviews on the ChaioGoo so thought I'd try then - so far they seem nice.
Monday here so back to writing for a few hours then I'll knit a little this evening.

A picture of my #knitting #WIP: Broken Trellis sweater in Blue Sky Fibers Woolstok #knitstodon #fiber #yarn #knitter

Had a rummage in my stash and found these Falkland Islands wool pretties. I have ordered a couple more balls of each - and they are 8ply- but this will work. Plus they are very similar colours to the original 12 ply. Whew!
Okay, I can relax now so back to writing. 🤣

Not happy, Jan.
The yarn arrived today for #psychedelicaKAL and I discovered the store had labeled it wrong. On the website it was marked as 10 ply (Aran) but it's not. It's 12ply (Bulky).
I think I can still use it but I guess it means I'll need more yarn - is that right?
Argh!
Swatch - 14 rows/11st 10cm 7mm needles

Saw a knitter on the subway, a picker but with the right hand (I'm a thrower, w/my right [active] hand, usually I see pickers w/yarn in left [passive; not the needle] hand). I asked and she knit the beautiful colorwork sweater she was wearing. Grey w/off-white blocks. Small needles for me, they looked like four or fives.
