The pattern is https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fresco-lace-bodice-cardigan

The yarn is Kampes 2ply, a nice rustic wool yarn, it's a little bit prickly but I actually like that in a wool garment, it's weirdly cozy 😅

I fell in love with the yarn and ordered lots of it, so I'm thinking of weaving some fabric with this and some brown tweed to make a matching skirt.

The pattern was nice and clear without being too wordy. The yarn was possibly not the right one for the pattern, my swatch gave me another gauge, but I liked the fabric it made so I did some math and followed the pattern for a smaller size.

I also made it a bit more cropped than the pattern, to go with my homemade skirts that sit at my natural waist. It'll also be a really nice summer cardigan for those cold summer nights I think.

Pic taken while it dries and it's so cloudy today so the colors look more muted. And yeah, it has a lot of mistakes and it's woobly because I didn't realise changing colors would need me to loosen my tension but not gonna lie I don't care, I did it myself!!

So I’ve been wanting to learn how to knit for over a year now but kept getting frustrated every time I would try because it felt SO unnatural going from crochet to knitting. But last month I finally was DETERMINED to figure it out and I learned continental. As soon as I got continental down, I was ready to challenge myself to make my first project a cardigan. I had ordered this kit from wool and the gang over a year ago (idk anything about the knitting community so I apologize if there’s any controversy around that shop).

i thought that’d be the easiest way for me to learn, as it comes with the yarn and a written pattern so I didn’t have to scramble to find yarn for online patterns as I need to learn more in my knitting journey about good yarns.

I learned a LOT in this process, I YouTubed any stitch I was confused about because I went into it only knowing basic stockinette and the very first step in the pattern was the 1x1 ribbing on 3.5mm needles 🙃 I also figured out what I can do differently next time and what I like and don’t like in techniques

I am SO proud of this project and myself for finally committing to learning. This is helping me through a really difficult time with a new autoimmune diagnosis that I recently started treatment for.

I sharpened the images to help see the stitches since this yarn is mohair

The pattern and kit is the Piece Of Me cardigan from wool and the gang, and the yarn is their Take Care Mohair

Can we just take a moment to discuss these stitch markers I was looking at online? I actually laughed out loud when I saw how they were being used. Pretty sure it doesn’t work like that. But in all seriousness I hate the AI slop and how it feels particularly bad in this community

I’ve been working on and off for a few months on this sweater for my sons first birthday in December. I picked up knitting as my maternity hobby since I’ve crocheted for a few years. Between working full time, going back to college part time, and having a now 9 month old… I’m so damn proud of myself for taking the leap to learn cables and make this sweater! I’ve only ever knitted a few small things before (like socks, a baby beanie and a simple sweater with lots of mistakes). I don’t have many people to share this with so I thought yall might appreciate it with me 🥹💕

Pattern is Mahdia Sweater by Courtney Walters

Yarn I used is Vivacious4Ply in Spiced Plum (I got lucky and found it in a yarn swap!)

Hot off the needles! One Pic is unblocked and the other is blocked.

I knit this for myself in the smallest size since I get swamped by really huge clothing, and there is still tons of positive ease.

Yarn combo is Sandnes Garn Tynn Peer Gynt 2641 held with Filcolana Alva 101. I am very happy with the fabric!

Cheryl Mokhtori writes clear, detailed patterns. No modifications to the pattern, but I would possibly do a half-twisted rib if I were to do it again. My only complaint is how many times the instruction was to "break yarn" because it meant more ends to weave, hahaha.

I’ve been trucking on this for probably six months off and on but she’s done! This is my second sweater and I learned so much. Saddle shoulders, picking up stitches, I finally figured out the logic behind an Italian bind off. She’s absolutely my favorite sweater.

Pattern: Great Lakes Pullover by Ozetta https://www.ozettaknitwear.com/patterns/p/great-lakes-pullover-knitting-pattern
Yarn: Wander Luck Fibers American Merino Worsted in Gray Matilda and Isager Silk Mohair in color 47

*my house is not on fire my husband is testing his smoke machine ahead of Halloween.

Not many other knitters out here in the back country. Working on another upcyclyed color work hat. One can always find time for a few rounds 🙂

Finished this afternoon a gift for a friend visiting from Europe.

I wouldn't use this yarn again as it was difficult to bead, though I love the color.

Interesting back story! Gift article here:

When she was a kitten I would hold her in a papoose, now she burrows into all things soft. WIP is a dress, but I think I need to find a papoose pattern for my next one!

Wanted to show off my Frøya sweater that I finished earlier this month!!

Knitted in Önling No. 3 in 044 Sky Blue. *Bonus pictures of my dog at the end having the time of her life in the leaves

ETA: Thank you everyone for the kind words!! My dog goes crazy for this time of year and loves running through all the leaves lol.

Finished this today, very happy with how it turned out. The pattern is https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/helix-brioche-hat

For the cowl I did everything the same as the hat just didn't decrease after repeating the pattern twice.

Another pair off the needles (and right in time for Rhinebeck)! I've freehanded ribbed socks before but this time I wanted to challenge myself by trying to write up a full pattern of what I did. I didn't intend for this to become something to publish when I started but while working on this pair for my partner I realized I wanted one for myself and we have drastically different foot sizes so I graded the sock to multiple sizes and now I thought "why not share it".

Now I'm not expecting a 4x1 ribbed sock pattern to go viral or anything like that, but I liked the process of designing these, even as simple as they are, and I felt they had that little extra oomph with the toe detail to see if anyone else out there might have wanted to have a pair for themselves.

SO with all that said: These are my "To You Toes" Socks that feature a 4x1 rib that flows onto the tips of your toes! If anyone is interested and you can see my tester call in r/PatternTesting or a direct Link to Google Form.

I had a lot of fun with these and plan on continuing designing my socks to have the texture continue onto the toes. Not sure if this brief exploration into pattern writing will stick but I enjoy trying new things!

Here's a link to my full ravelry project. Yarn is Circulo Lucky Feet in the colorway Autumn which I am obsessed with.

Made it in 2023 🥲 my first ever completed project ! Haven’t knitted since, will start one now !
This was inspired by a crocheted scarf hence the elongated design 🤣
No pattern just pixel images and photo reference, gosh I want my brains back.

Had to laugh at this ad I came across of a woman "knitting." I love zooming in on ads and determining if they are indeed knitting or not. This one looks like she's been given a crocheted project and just wrapped the yarn around a knitting needle a couple times.

I’ve only been knitting for a year & I’ve never actually found yarn at any thrift store near me. Can’t beat a pair of ChiaoGoo needles for $1.75!

I finished the Cumulus Tee By Petiteknit. I used Slightly smaller needles.

My first full colour work project is complete, after about 2 1/2 months. I normally average 2 months for more simple knits but this one took a tad longer bc of the complexity. I feel like the nordic inspiration really comes through when I see myself wearing it!

Pattern is Inge Sweater by Le Knit, knitted all in Jensen 6s, 19, and 98. It’s my first sweater I’ve made using purely Norwegian tensioning in my knit, it’s definitely way better on my tension knit wise but my purls are incredibly loose. I think it shows the most in the ribbing on the arms and body, the neckline I stuck to normal continental tensioning. I feel like I’ve solved it on my current WIP by tensioning on a purl wrapping the yarn on my pinky finger and Norwegian tensioning on my pointer finger at the same time.

My Favorite Vanilla Socks - The Unapologetic Knitter

I’ve ripped back three times because I kept making them too long. Finally made good progress on the toe and found out when I tried it on that I knitted the toe decreases in sideways lol

Yarn is mystery stash yarn! I do recall that I got it off of eBay but the listing is gone and it’s vanished from my purchase history. Sorry!

Heathland mittens by Fox & Folk

i will write a pattern down for the beret soon now that i have made a few
