I just signed up for a knitting class (beading) and trying to convince myself I can use scraps and don't need to buy new yarn. So far, winning my willpower roll. #knitsky

Finished my Eden Prairie shawl...sort of. Need to weave in all. the. ends. So many ends. Then blocking. I couldn't get it laid out properly because I had to keep shooing the cat off it. #knitsky

Question for #knitsky This is the same swatch photographed 3 ways. The top half is gauge (28 stitchs/4 in) the bottom half is 31 stitches/4 in. I like the bottom better, particularly since this is bamboo. Opinions?

My December knits were both gifts. Details in the alt text. #showmeyourknits #knitting
Custom fingerless gloves. One in green with a white stag rearing. One in white with a green bat swooping. Knit in Lang Alpakka Soxx fingering weight alpaca superwash. Custom fingerless gloves. One in white with a green colorwork design with a 99 in the center. One in green with a white colorwork design with a 49 in the center. I wanted to fix the colorwork mistake on the white, but the recipient liked it. Teens are weird. Convertible fingerless to full mittens. Knit I leftover acrylic. White, reddish purple, and dark blue colors.

Should I pair this light blue cotton with the darker blue, the white, or both (and make it a three ply). I am trying to pick because I think it will be the weight I want with just two ply. Maybe randomly spin both other colors into one strand? #handspun

Jehanette de Provins @jehanette.bsky.social · 01/12/2025
Finished the 1st oz. One of my biggest challenges with spinning is all the choice. Do I do the 2nd oz on this bobbin & ply it with something else? Do I ply this with 1oz of something else & try for a thinner spin out of the next oz of this? Etc It's overwhelming. Opinions welcome. #handspun
1 oz pale blue cotton, spun up about light fingering weight.

My first try at cotton on the wheel. The single is light fingering. I am getting better at it. I have 2 oz of it (this is just the start). Trying to decide if I should ply it with itself or spun up some similar color bamboo to ply with it. #handspun
