It's been some time since I posted. Summer is always socially demanding for me so I had no energy left to post. BUT. I did find the time to knit a little 🧶 A shawl I knitted for my sister, a small wrist pillow and a top. Details in alt. #knitting #knitsky

A lace shawl ombre shawl pinned to a white mattress, with a part of brown wooden floor seen in the right bottom corner. It has a ladder running down the center and at the very top, a stockinette stitch in the top-middle part and a simple lace motif going to the end with spiky finish. Colour changes from purple (yarn colour said wine) to black.

Pattern name In The Land of Oz by Adrienne Fong
Yarn is half bamboo, half cotton by Kokonki

A small pillow filled with scraps set on a light wood-like desk. Base colour is khaki with yellow leaves motif running down the whole pillow. On the three sides finished with a crochet hook.

No pattern, the motif Trellis taken from the KnitOvation Stitch Dictionary.
100% cotton yarn from Kokonki

A ribbed crop top with a halter neck in colour khaki worn on a person with pale skin (I am NOT avoiding the sun, I promise) with brown hair sticking behind the neck at the top and a waist with part of a scar visible at the bottom. Brown wall can be seen in the background with an ivy in a light green pot in the top left.

Pattern: Zesty Tank by Rachel Brockman

I don't have hEDS, but do have constantly numb hands and the most "relaxed" knitting method so far has been eastern uncrossed. It doesn't strain my hands as much as the others, though I'm not sure if it will be any help for you/if you've tried it already. Good luck finding something that works!

Knitters! Any ideas where I might be able to find the pattern for this sweater vest? I believe the cowl is a separate piece. #knitting 🧶

Sooo I think I left too big of a hole for the arm + am already done with the body so I can't undo it ++ wanna decrease down the arm. How do I do that without having a weird bubble of more stitches??? I tried once and had a weird bubble so that's why I'm asking

That was me not long ago. I hated how they jumped around and kept falling out. Magic loop was much easier to get the hang of.

Yes, I'm working with a cake yarn right now, it's much easier than the previous, blue one.

Oh, that's a really good idea, I'm going to start doing that. Maybe not with needles, I wouldn't want them to bend or snap but I'll figure something out. Honestly, they should start giving two pins in with the cables, it's so much easier to set them in with proper leverage.

Ah, thank you for explaining that, I'm not familiar with some of the english terms yet, esp since I mostly use simple one-cloloured yarns. This one I've bought more than 10 years ago and don't even have a label so I couldn't check. Good to know!

🇪🇺🇵🇱cicha🌈🌱 @cichadusza.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

Much easier than I was expecting, I highly recommend to try it out once at least.

🇪🇺🇵🇱cicha🌈🌱 @cichadusza.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

It might depend on the yarn type or your style as well, I think, mine was mercerized cotton which is quite orderly, maybe some coarser or finer yarns and threads would be harder to command? I do have fine black mittens waiting for their turn to be made, we'll see how it'll go with them.

🇪🇺🇵🇱cicha🌈🌱 @cichadusza.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

So far no problems with tangling for me. I've pulled yarn from the centre and the outer layer and just twirl it a few times if I see it twisting, but when I was watching tutorials, most people either split the yarn into two balls, or just used two of them.

🇪🇺🇵🇱cicha🌈🌱 @cichadusza.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

The difficulty got changed for some people, all you need to do is change it back.

Two-at-a-time is going better than expected, somehow? I thought it'd take me more time to get used to it. Yay. Anyway, this is a pair for my niece, I think the yarn is a self-striping kind, so maybe it fits this weeks #ShowMeYouKnits theme? Not very visible on this pattern, though. #knitsky 🧶

Finally decided to learn knitting in the round. There was a lot to learn since my main style is combination continental. Figured it out while making mitts for my nephew and then realised the second one looks different🫠 Gotta learn two at a time now, I guess🧶 #knitting #knitsky

Oh, yes, the pins are a must in any interchangeables. I have some from KnitPro, and they untwist as well if I don't use the pins.

🇪🇺🇵🇱cicha🌈🌱 @cichadusza.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

They're my favourites! Never had any problem with them, most comfy to use too. I'm slowly buying up the smallest sizes. Hope they prove to be useful to you too.

Does anyone know of good free resources to learn the intricacies of tapestry weaving? I feel like there is some fundamental thing I'm missing that could make my weaving better. #weaving #tapestry #art #bluesky

Unfortunately, I won't be of much help, I never worked with tapestry. Librarian might be your best call. Good luck with your search!

Did you check at the archive? I like going there for knitting books, maybe they have some about weavibg as well.

Forgot to take a pic when I finished the shawl, so here it is on the joyful receiver + the edge I ended up doing. Lace shawls are fun to make, can't wait to try my hand at another one. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

The main body is finished, will probably be around 180cm long (I'll know for sure once I block it). Trying to make borders but it's the first time making them and I'm not sure if they fit and how I'm gonna attach them. Thankfully, I still have time to play around with it. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

Doesn't really look like it at first glance, but it would be easier to see if you stretched it out a little and took a pic then.

This is... not great. I use a lot of Hobbii! KnitPicks saying "don't tag us in your Melt The Ice hats!" was a serious problem for me, so I need Hobbii to pick up the slack but this is seriously icky. ☹️☹️☹️ 🧶 #knitting #ARGH

New project. A pretty pink lace shawl as a gift for my friend's birthday. One thread 100% cotton, the other a mohair blend, both from Kokonki 🧶. The pattern is Spring Tulips Lace Stole. I almost didn't change anything in it. #knitting #knitsky

A square lace, light pink knitting project on cable needles connected with two yarns in the left, upper corner in a short repeat arrow-like pattern, lying on a desk.

A close-up of the project. Arrows, resembling tulips upside-down follow right after each other in six sections, with breaks in-between. A mix of a lighter salmon colour cotton with a slightly darker mohair blend.

It took some time to take pics but I'been using the fingerless mittens all this time - they're perfect for the current weather. Also made simple cotton ones for my mum and decided to make another cotton pair for myself for working in the garden, which is what I'm working on now. #knitting

Finally finished with the scarf. It's got 185cm in total. I still have a lot of yarn leftover so I'm making mittens with a similar motif and maybe a beanie🤔 later on. #knitting 🧶

I've mentioned this before, but: Look at core rope memory, the kind of ROM that NASA used in the Apollo programs. Programming at the time was heavily gendered as feminine, and one reason why was that the only experts in knitting were women. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_ro...

Since I'm stuck at home and can't really walk much for now, I keep thinking about my forest walks. I love taking pictures of small shrooms and other creatures. #mushrooms #photography #moss

White, small mushrooms with pointy tops growing between sticks and needles.

Current work: a somewhat lacy scarf. I'm a slow knitter so it'll probably take me a month to finish, but it's so pretty that I don't mind it. I'll savour the creation, lol. I'm thinking of posting my past works, we'll see if I manage to do so. #knitting
