Does anyone else get to 90% finished with a project and then feel the overwhelming urge to stop? Haha. It's been the sameish thing over and over and I'm over it. I am looking forward to assembly and finishing and maybe just tucking all those ends in...
Check out this pattern, it's free and really cool and easy and great for scraps and so few projects on ravelry

I went to the local fiber fest on got some handspun yarn to knit with (the blue). I'm so excited. I feel like I've done something sneaky. This yarn is hand spun and I didn't even have to do it myself he he he.
The pink and green is regular ol sock yarn locally dyed. Fun!

All these are things I made and would like to give away, but I feel like I can't donate to charity because they are not "easy care"
I wrote up a post for my local buy-nothing group but sat and thought about it and decided I don't really want people coming to my house, nor do I want to have to mail/deliver one hat at a time. And what are the odds someone will want all of it?
And it's starting to warm up here so it would be littering if I left them around town with little tags that say "free" right?
So I dunno what else to do except stash them in the reject box in the corner of my room. They're too small to unravel for yarn salvage and frankly I have enough scrap yarn

It came out as expected!
I might regret this because I don't know how large this shawl is going to end up. I feel like the dyer underreported the yardage on these... I'm hoping she did. If it makes enough to go around my neck in a jaunty little knot I'll be happy.
The pattern is Varde from the 52 Weeks of Shawls book. The yarn is a semi-local dyer. The colorway is called cantaloupe. Isn't it though??

Oh look a photo where I don't look like a complete goon. The FO is tobermory top by Cheryl Mokhtari. The yarn is knitpicks high desert worsted in the color dusk. I really need to take a break from fisherman's rib. It's pretty but the slow pace...

It's finished!
It's a little too big. I should have noticed the pattern said it was written to be relaxed fit. But I still think it looks nice 😌 pros of knitting for your sweetie is you get to hug all your hard work when it's done
I knit this, laid it out, decided the body was too short, separated top and bottom blocks, added 10 more rows of the top colors (on both front and back), grafted top and bottom back together, now I get to seam it all together which I'm really excited about but I am in a class until this afternoon :(
This pattern is called Checkmate and it's really good!

Idk why I thought I had enough mint choc chip yarn for another pair. So I thought it would be cool to change colors in the middle of the heel. And then use up the rest of the mint anyhow. Then they were too short, so the dark blue. And by then I was in too deep NOT to finish with the neon green. Uglier than my wildest dreams 💚

I had just enough to line the tops of both. It ain't pretty but it is warm
After several hours of pondering (and decidedly not doing any actual research on) how best to apply a layer of suri to the inside of my mittens without going insane (crochet slip stitch columns-no. duplicate stitch-extra no. weaving?-nooo) I came up with this
Enhance!
Used a teeny crochet hook to pick up stitches on the inside--just in the knit columns so it wouldn't show through-- and then doubling on the next round. Now I'm winging it, doing 1x1 ribbing and catching stitches to attach it every few rounds. The laddering at the sides is absolutely atrocious but it's gonna be on the inside so I don't care. Decreases will happen at some point shrug emoji

Before
After. I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry but it had to be done. Reasons below
1. Fit bad. I'm no designer but I have since learned that if you're gonna do a drop shoulder, you need beef to the neckline. This is non-negotiable.
2. Hangs bad and weird. I can blame my own yarn choice on this, there's no drape. I will also take the blame for not realizing it was a-line. I have a fat ass and a-line tops are my NEMESIS
3. The yarn was expensive and I wanted it back
