First time #knitting socks with Arne & Carlos yarn. I’ve used their Regia Design Line before but never their own label. It’s feels very similar so maybe it’s the same source? Either way, I like it. Feels very soft yet durable 😁🧶🧦

The ‘90s was a decade of experimentation on TV, and perhaps no other show proved that more than Steven Bochco’s bizarre series that blended all the drama of a police procedural with a Broadway musical. Come with me as I explore the forgotten 1990 show, Cop Rock 📺 movieweb.com/cop-rock-ste...

It’s hard to see in the pics, but I bought a hank of Madelinetosh sock yarn from Simply Socks because I’d heard good things about it, and the dye is coming off on my hands. I’ve never had that happen before with any yarn, either mass produced or from indie dyers 🥴🧶🧦

As someone who has knit #socks with DPNs, magic loop, and tiny circs, I decided to give Addi FlexiFlips a try in the interest of science. After #knitting 15 rounds of K2P2 ribbing and an inch of stockinette, I can officially say they’re definitely not my favorite 😂 🧶 🧦
