I hope you feel better soon! I was wondering about this pattern. Do you decide between the two colorways or do you knit both?

Is anyone doing the Mystery KAL "Bullerby" on Ravelry? It's a free sock pattern and I highly recommend it! First clue came out last Friday. 3 more are published over the course of May 😊 ravel.me/bullerby #knitting

Bullerby pattern by Mone Dräger

This sock pattern was designed for the Sock Knitters Anonymous group on Ravelry as the May 2026 Mystery Sock (or MOCK) to fit the featured theme ‘Literary’.

My coworker is getting these socks as a birthday present today. I'm sorry I don't remember the yarn name but it's Merino. It was so gorgeous to work with! #knitting #knitsky #crafts

For #showmeyourknits: This is me in my knitted and embroidered cardigan. Knit flat in 5 pieces and sewn together. Then I embroidered corals on it 😊 #knitsky #knitting #crafting

Sorry, I have been off the grid. All threats from the US to destroy Canada are really tiresome and exhausting. Here are the latest socks I've been knitting 🧶 #knitsky #canada ##knittersofbluesky

Floats 😍😍😍 trying to knit colourwork inside out for the first time. So far it doesn't make much of a difference 🤔🧶 #knitting #knitsky #knittersofbluesky

Good for it! I didn't even look at the requirements and just used the yarn and needles I always use. As long as all your yarn is fingering weight and your needles are somewhere between 2.5 and 3 mm, you're good!

Haha thanks! I'm surprised too. I want to do more colorwork because I want to improve my tension :)

I think folks in Canada are really mad at Trump (and probably those who voted for him) and not Americans in general. Yes, it is an important friendship.

I'm sorry! I hope Americans are able to resist as much as possible.

Sent a message to one of my favourite yarn companies this morning 😢 just felt like I needed to do and say something. 🧶🇨🇦 #canada #knitting

Dear Knitpicks team,
it is with a very heavy heart that I'm writing this email.
Given the Trump tariffs on Canada, I won't be able to support you as an American business at this time.

Yes, I'm knitting in the round with magic loop. It works just as well as on dpns. My book says it's written for dpn but can be knit on circulars. The only time dpns are even mentioned is during the thump and it's easily translated to circulars 😊

Has anybody started a thread on #Canadian yarn? Thought it might be good to have as a knitter in Canada, impacted by the disgusting unnecessary trade war started by the fascist down south 🙁🇨🇦 ❤️🧶 #knitting #yarn #Canada
