Just one of my friends does. And he’s the only one I send them to.

No, please keep him. We don’t want him in Europe either!!! 🤮

I bet I’m not. A lot of the things I knit look more complicated than they are. I like to keep it fairly simple because complicated patterns are not relaxing, and for me, relaxation is one of the most important things about knitting. 😁

Thank you. 😊 It’s not on Ravelry - I don’t write my patterns down. ☺️

Talking total nonsense and looking smug about it. What a tool! 🙄

Depends on the look you want. Sometimes it’s useful to incorporate a different stitch at the side or at the top. On this one I used a couple of inches of moss stitch on the top of the back as this particular lace seemed really hard to line up. Generally, I just continue the normal stitch, though.

Thank you. It’s lovely to wear. And yes, I play the harp. 😊

Thank you. 😊 Lace knitting is actually much easier than you might think. Just a series of strategically placed yarn overs and knitting stitches together. 😉

Grey theme for #showmeyourknits this week. I made this jumper a few years ago. I still wear it, but as it’s 100% alpaca it frequently needs de-fluffing. It’s fantastically warm, though. Yarn: hand-dyed alpaca Pattern: my own #knitsky #knitting

They stay with wear. When you wash you just have to make sure that the edge are rolled when drying. 😊

Thank you. 😊 The edges are loose and just left to roll.

#showmeyourknits WIPs this week. My merino jumper is nearly done. The yarn is Proud as a Peacock by Untangled Yarns. I absolutely adore the colours in it. 🥰 It’s been such a relaxing freehand knit. Hoping to finish it this weekend. #knitting #knitsky

That’s interesting, thank you. 😊 While I don’t know about the organisms either, I don’t think it can be the pokiness. I’ve tried wool with a layer underneath (so no direct skin contact) and even that didn’t prevent hives, welts and weeping. Whatever the cause, I’m glad to have found a solution.

Harpy511 🇩🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 @harpy511.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

That’s it - or rather, as I’ve been told, it’s the organisms that still live in it before the superwash treatment gets them. I’ve used yak before, and it’s beautiful to knit with, but, as you say, pricey. Alpaca is also okay, although it’s not my favourite.

#showmeyourknits My first superwash knit 5 years ago. I’m allergic to wool, but I liked the colour (Forgotten Banana) so much that I decided to risk it and found that I can use superwash. I know that it has its own issues, but I like it much better than a lot of the acrylics on offer. Info in ALT.

Tank top with leaf pattern in yellow/brown wool. Yarn: Forgotten Banana by Rightside Yarn. Pattern: my own.
