Grafting magic + finished cowl with new glasses chosen by my kid!

Happy boxing day! Someone would like my orange. He doesn't even like oranges but maybe this one will be different.

Cowl knitting by the fire. Very happy that past me cleared off most of the hearth for this. ❤️

I love the huge difference in colour palette between my #WinterSkiesAdvent cowl on the left vs my #RainbowOfEmotions shawl on the right.

I finished a big motif! I'm amused that the knit-a-long group seems to be having a tiny debate about if this is a snowflake or pine boughs. What do you see?

Progressing!

I just reached the end of my #RainbowOfEmotions colour so it's time to pull out the #WinterSkiesAdvent cowl. (No spoilers here that haven't been shown on the designers' social media already in the past week)

It's nice to see progress here when compared to today's debugging for work 😅

Yesterday's word was "Courage" and I totally took it as "eh, cast on without swatching, it'll be fine" 😁

Not sure that's what the fine folk at craftemporiumpdx intended but it got me over my decision paralysis on starting my pnw_knitdesign #WinterSkiesAdvent cowl so I'm not complaining!

Also, check out this cool book tool from the katrinkles_knitting_jewelry countdown! I'm not sure it will replace my beloved plexiglass solution but it's so much smaller and easier to carry around that it's definitely going into my tool pouch!

Kid countdown/build progress vs my countdown/knit progress.

Kid has one countdown I put together (the sock + stuffed toys) and a kiwico one. I highly recommend supplementing the latter with foam stickers both for decorating and for addressing structural instability.

Today's craftemporiumpdx Rainbow of Emotions word was "belonging" and I think the colour name was Anne of Green Gables inspired? I remember visiting PEI and that was my first exposure to the global Anne fandom so belonging feels like a good word there. ❤️

My #GnomeMKAL11 piece is so dark this is hardly spoilery!

And my bysarahs - inspired sock is still a teensy toe. But it's happening every time I run out of stuff in my other projects 🧦 (though it might take a backseat while I replace my fingerless mitts with something a bit longer?)

I also wound up my Winter Skies yarns (pnw_knitdesign / westcoastyarnco ) but had a moment of indecision about swatching (regular swatch or cup cozy? Or not bother since I was close enough last time at this yarn weight?) so no progress there yet!
