Does this grate say “sweater yoke” to anyone else?

It will be a pillow when I find a form for it. Love how these cakes came together. Alternated colors from the same color line. Easy way to make it look complicated but still enjoy some fairly mindless and peaceful afternoon knit space. I’m feeling all the fall feels today. Cold windy morning set me off into the day decked out with woolens. Fire in the wood stove. Leaves 🍁everywhere are changing and falling. Question for the creators in here… how do you respond when someone compliments your handmade garment or accessory? Today I tried “perks of being a knitter” which totally felt awkward after I said it a couple times lol. But saying “thanks, I knit it” feels weird too. I like the conversations that sometimes follow though when the compliment-tee realized you’ve made it. Connections make making extra special. #handmadeknits #makesomething #pnwfall #oregonweather #oregongirl #pnwknitters #knittersofinstagram #fallcolors #pillows (at Salem, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkHxedGLoVx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#fiberuarychallenge Day 4. My current project: a scarf knit on the bias with a color changing yarn in a gradation of muted blue, green and gold. ### Knitting on the bias is easy, and makes a simple, elegant scarf that drapes beautifully. This is the second one I've made in two years, and I got the pattern from the label on a skein of Lion brand yarn. ### Both times I've worked on this pattern while ironing out the specifics of my next, more ambitious, project. In this case, matching sweaters for my nieces in Michigan. Stay tuned... #handknitscarf #latinxknitters #latinaknitters #pnwknitters #knitter #knittingproject #knittersofcolor #fiberuary https://www.instagram.com/p/BtexshGgolR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kgvjcks4uhf8

Never not knitting

The yarn goes ever on. I like where it’s leading me.

This is pretty far from what I want for my next design, but it’s cute and makes me smile. I can’t hate that. 😆

Neapolitan Lace

Neapolitan Lace stitch pattern from the January 1884 issue of Ballou’s Monthly Magazine. It’s reversible! I found the magazine on Google Books a few years ago, but The Weekly Stitch also blogged the stitch pattern on March 31, 2023.

Black Yarn

Black hat knitting, white snow falling. A little noir, no?

Black Yarn

The saying goes: “If someone makes you something out of yarn, they like you. If they make it out of black yarn, they love you.” My first knitting project of 2024 is a ribbed hat. For me. In black yarn. 😍

Never Not Knitting

I spent the weekend playing with my (knitted) balls. This one is too big, but it’s reasonably spherical and the pattern stitch works.

Never Not Knitting

I’ve yet to decide whether this mysterious object is patternworthy. For now, it keeps my hands occupied. That’s not a bad thing.

Slipper Socks

Lots of knitting lately, but little to show. I did reknit the worn-through toes of my increasingly scruffy slipper socks. Ahh… warm feet. ☺️
