Finally sharing this sweater I finished knitting in the spring, details in the alt text. 🧶 If I were to knit a sweater with similar construction again I'd skip the shoulder short rows as they add a lump when the sleeve sits so far down off the shoulder. 📷 @noah-the-bard.bsky.social

The knitting pattern is the Johanne Loops Sweater by Other Loops. I knit it with Alpaca from Kensington Prairie Farm.Standing on a garden pathway wearing a creme and brown hand knit sweater with a geometric pattern and brown linen pants.

Scored some vintage crochet doily pattern booklets for my mom at the thrift store. She's taught herself to crochet with the tiniest hook and thread, it's honestly mind boggling! 🧶

Wrote a knitting pattern and hiked the hardest hike of my life this weekend. It's a mini top down raglan, designed to fit IKEA’s Small Djungelskog teddy bear. I was inspired by the Bartholomew Bear by Jellycat. The pattern is free ⛰️⛺🧶 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #knitsky #knitting #pattern

I challenged myself to stash down this year, but the part that no one talks about is the lack of motivation to knit with the yarn you’ve got. It’s like talking to an ex after a breakup. I don’t want to be associated with you, even if you are 100% cashmere 🧶

Last month I did my first test knit, The Cluaran Sock pattern by Grey Owl Knits. They fit really nicely and I think this is my new favorite heel type. 🧶🧦💜🌿 #testknit #knitsocks #knitsky
A flat lay arrangement of my hand knit socks on a wooden table. The socks are dark brown with purple and green accents, and thistle flower motifs. Around them are knitting needles, the remaining balls of yarn, the knit swatch, and two purple hyacinth flowers. (They were the closest thing to a purple thistle I could find at this time of year)

Yarn used: PIP Naturals and Colorwork by Baa Ram Ewe.

After 1.5 years, 3 froggings & much learning I've finally finished knitting @noah-the-bard.bsky.social's sweater! I ended up using the Storm Sweater pattern by Petite Knit with changes due to using a heavy worsted, and an added gusset in the armpit I used Heritage by Briggs & Little 🧶 #knitsky

A mood board for the fall 🍂 Instead of big goals for the fall I've been focusing on letting go of projects that I'm unhappy with, finishing ones I've had on the back burner, and making lots of soup 🌻
A fall themed collage made up of images from Pinterest. Most prominently there's some pictures of knit sweaters, soup, an embroidered beetle, pumpkins, and some illustrations depicting characters dressed warm and cozy.

All credit for each individual image goes to the original artists / photographers. I did my best to ensure all images are real and not generated in any way.

A mathematical mess... This spring I self drafted a sweater without having knit anything like it before, + while playing yarn chicken. 🧶🐔 I will be frogging this monstrosity and giving the motif a second chance after I learn some more about these types of sweaters. #knitsky

Finished my Tulip Farm Cardigan! 🌷🌷🌷 (-ish, still gotta add buttons) This was my first time knitting such a large color work pattern and my first time steeking. The pattern was well written and easy to follow. 😊 Pattern by Harvey Road Knits 🧶 Lanas Light by Berroco #knitsky #colorwork #knitting
Image of me wearing my freshly knit cardigan, a beige T-shirt, jeans, and holding my camera. The cardigan is light grey with dark grey sleeves and tulips in green and pink.

Super fun knitting pattern by Harvey road knits

The pattern was well written and easy to follow. I made two changes, one was the motif which I adjusted to be a closer match to my Tulip socks while keeping the same stitch count as the original, and the other was yarn size which I reduced to get a lighter, flowy fabric so I can wear it in warmer weather. Cropped photo of my hand knit cardigan laying on the ground. The cardigan is light grey on top and dark grey on the bottom with a tulip motif in green and pink.Mirror selfie of me wearing my hand knit cardigan.

Knit a funny lopsided pair of practice socks before I take on the Tiptoe Through the Tulips socks by Charlotte Stone. I followed the pattern minus the leg and color work, messed up a bunch on the first stock and fixed it on the second! 🧶 #knitsky
Feet wearing a pair of black socks over a quilt. There are some double pointed needles on the top right. 
Text over the image points out some differences between the socks. On sock 1 it says "Weird Heel Nubbin" and "too long". On sock 2 it says "Added short rows before heel turn" and "correct length"

Pattern: tiptoe through the tulips by Charlotte Stone 

Adjustments between sock 1 and 2:

Eliminated the decrease before the heel turn 
Left more stitches at the turn of the heel. 
Made it shorter! (Sock 1 almost fits my husband)

Final yarn stash calculation is 30km of yarn - and I'm still planning on going to Fibres West this weekend 😅 the bulk of it is DK and lighter (20km) and 1 sweater typically takes me 1400m in DK or 2800m in doubled up fingering. So when I crunch the numbers it'll make about 8.5 sweaters. 🧶
