Short row heel done! I’m pretty sure I didn’t execute this bit quite as correctly as it could have been but I am still rather pleased at the result. Maybe on the second sock I will look at how to do a M1Lp 😆 🧶 @stoneknits.bsky.social #sunflowersocks #knitsky #handknitsocks

Frogged one, finished on and cast on a new one. I decided the pattern that shan’t be named need to not be made by me. So 🐸🐸🐸🐸 The yarn is now becoming something I am actually enjoying making. Finished my shorty sox! Yay me! 🎉 It’s been a semi productive weekend.
I just couldn’t bear to continue this prick of a project. The pattern was not user friendly so instead of fighting with it I have walked away. Sanity saved. And yummy yarn reclaimed for the next cast on. 
Finished socks! 🎉 
New cast on. Pattern by Jessie Mae. Such a well layered put pattern. No confusion here 😃

So I dropped my mail in the yard the other day without realising I’d done so. Our 2 yo puppy decided that the squishy package was meant for her. This is the result 😩😣🧶

No knitting 🧶 today. Spent the day with my brother scooting around the paddocks, chatting with the neighbours and rounding up some cows and their babies for booster shots.
This paddock has been left ungrazed for about 6 months. It needed time grow and for the grass to go to seed. You can see my brother on his motorbike waist deep. There’s a cattle dog in there somewhere too. 
Widgee mountain in the background. Found a chrysalis hanging from the fence. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen one of these so a picture had to be taken.

I still dislike the way this pattern is written but am making progress and making mistakes. Mistakes I cannot be arsed fixing - no one’s gonna know, right? Anyway, I picked up stitches on the front left to make the back left. Did M1L instead of M1R! F**k me. Not ripping out. #knit 🧶

I’m up to the gusset on my sock with the folded cuff. The heel flap has an extra strand of yarn to give a bit more padding for my boney heals as well as making them more durable. 🧶 #knitting #knit #knitsky #fibrecraft #craftsky #knittedsocks #handknitsocks
Pattern based on A Walk Through Time Socks by my dear friend Sarah - The Soulful Maker
Yarns from Bandit Yarn in New Zealand. One of their discontinued lines 🙁

I’m not sure what I was thinking but I cast on a new thing… it’s a sock in fingering weight. Then I decided I wanted a folded cuff. I’ve never done a folded cuff before so I’m making it up. 64 stitch markers later I’m half way through… #knitsky #knit #fibercraft #knittedsocks #foldedcuff 🧶

New cast on update… still think the pattern is silly. Am getting the hang of it though. Finished right front bit yesterday, started left front then 🐸’d it. Tried again today and made small progress because I’m 🤒 with whatever husband has 🙁 🧶 #knitsky #showmeyourknits #knitting #showmeyourwip

So um I cast on a new project. I was sat in my icebox office today, wrapped up in my scarf and a gilet shivering my ass off. Thought to self “I need a cosy vest for under my work shirt & it must be a woollen hand knit”. Then this happened.. 🧶 #knitsky #craftsky #fibersky #knitting Info in alt txt
Good god this pattern is hard to read. It just isn’t written like any pattern I’ve seen before. It’s scant on row counts and hard to decipher (probably an advanced pattern, which I’m not). I’m going to persist because it cost me money. When I get more into this project I’ll let you know who designed it. 

Yarn is Fiori Sock in Tangerine Nougat.  It’s very pretty.

Started with a 3.25mm needle then decided to drop down to 2.75mm because the stitches had shrunk in link with the whole sock shrinkage. Wish me luck 🍀 🧶 #knitsky #fibersky #craftsky #knitting #knittedsocks

Today I will be ignoring all my other wips to resize these socks so I can gift to a friend with tiny feet. Made them for me, stupidly shrunk them. I could fix them for me but I’d rather gift them. #knitsky 🧶 #craftsky #fibresky #knittedsocks
Sock pattern: Walk through time by Sarah Jane. Not sure what her Ravelry handle is. 
Now tocut and rip the second sock back. Then onto picking up stitches to decrease for the toe.

I’ve put down my other project for a few hours to make progress on this old thing. It’s a #westknits #ShawographyMKAL from years ago that I’ve had in the wip pile. When I chose this pure cotton & colours I ❤️❤️❤️’d. 3 years on not so much. But hey it will be useful to keep me toasty at the office. 🧶

I got all the way to row 16 then decided I really didn’t like the way each round started. So I pulled it back to the first round and now I’m doing a standing double crochet. I’m much happier with the invisible start to each row. Fiddlesticks Eddy Lovely Leaves Blanket by Mijo Crochet 🧶 #knitsky

Next project on the hook 🧶 I picked up the yarn at a craft festival I visited last weekend. Yarn & pattern details in ALT Txt. I’ve been focusing so hard on knitting lately it’s refreshing to do something different. Four rows in and I’m really liking it. #crochetsky #craftsky#fibresky

The shawl is finished, still not blocked but modelled on this lovely gent me and the girls met at a farm open day today at Kin Kin. This is Alex & he’ll be on “Farmer Wants a Wife” Australia in April. We are all going to watch and see if Alex found the woman he was looking for. #knitsky #fibersky

And so the final chapter of my #westknitsmkal2025 #musikal2025 has commenced. I’m not doing the designer’s clue 4 as brioche kicks my butt every time & I wish to finish this year. Also the other option which is garter stitch was a bit 🥱, so I’m making it up based on clue 2 of the pattern. 🧶 #knitsky

Argh! I messed up my top! Missed a step in a 5 row lace section and doubled the stitches making an accidental flutter waist. Contemplating whether to finish off the sleeves and let it be or frog back and fix. What do you think #knitsky ? 🧶

Clue 3 is complete! I’m a bit sad about it. Why? Because clue 4 is brioche and it’s hard so I’m going to do the garter stripe version instead which is a bit yawn 🥱 #knitsky #stephenwest #westknitsmkal2025 #musikal2025 #SayNoToBrioche

I didn’t knit at all yesterday. Life drama was really distracting and I decided best to not even try to knit as my mind would surely wander and mistakes would follow. Took an afternoon nap on the couch instead. Woke up and it was dark out. 🌒 This morning I have managed to add to my beautiful
