Went to #Iceland in 2019, and bought a pair of woolen socks from a tiny craft stall in the #Vestfjörður. After a few years they wore out. Being knitted, not nålbinded they started to unravel. I finally got around to making my 1st repair attempt today with some WYS wool I had bought for my #nalbinding. I'm hoping that using the pure wool will allow the repairs to felt together over time. It's probably obvious, but the left one is the 1st attempt.

A pair of socks on some wooded planks. The socks are woolen knitted items, yellow wool from ankle to calf and orange wool from ankle to toe. At the point on each sock where the ball of the big toe would rub is a relatively poor attempt at repair made using an orangy-brown wool stitched around the outside of each hole and then woven back and forth inside the holed area. Who knows how long the repair will last, but the socks are wearable today at least!

Here's a smol Buneary friend that now lives on my shelf!

I started making them back in like mid-December, by which point I'd spent the past month making Christmas presents and was desperately craving something else to crochet! I thought the puff stitch on the legs and ears looked really unique and fun - and it was!

Their body sat finished for over a month, until I finally finished making them last week! And now I have another cute Pokémon ami to add to my collection! 😊

Here's a photo of an actual current project, for once!

I've been sharing mostly old stuff here so far, since my account is still fairly new and I've got a bit of a backlog! But I've actually made loads of things over the past month, I just keep forgetting to get my camera out and take photos of them!

In any case, I'm hoping to finish this hat later today, and maybe once it's done I'll actually get around to photographing everything properly!

Pattern: Squirrelly Wolf Designs

Granny Hexagon cardigan, made in May last year. This was actually the first item of clothing I ever made that was bigger and more complex than a shawl; I used to get really bored with long projects and was super intimidated by things like guage and sizing. I'm still a bit confused by sizing to be honest (which I think is possibly dyspraxia related?) but since making this I've made two more cardigans and two jumpers so I guess I'm a long projects kind of person now. \o/

Pattern by Passionknit Kelsie on YouTube, which I highly recommend for anyone who is new to crochet and wants to try making a cardigan for the first time - it's really well explained and easy to get the hang of!

Dear knitters of Mastodon,

Many years ago, I started this top-down circular yoke stranded colourwork jumper, hoping to knit my own ugly Christmas jumper, using a pattern by Drops (ravelry.com/patterns/library/1), using DK-weight Drops Karisma yarn (ravelry.com/yarns/library/garn), knitting on 4mm needles.

I stopped knitting because I made a mistake and couldn't face the frogging.

Now I want to frog the whole thing and start over, in part because I feel like my stranded colourwork skills are much better now.

I am wondering if I should find a different pattern? Maybe I don't want the jumper to be "ugly" anymore, so it would be a bit more wearable? Don't know if ugliness vibes are completely avoidable, given the colourways that I have.

QUESTION: do you have any suggestions for your favourite circular yoke stranded colourwork jumper patterns that might suit the yarn that I have (MC: 500 grams / 1000 m; CC: 100 grams / 200 m)?

I never actually completed a circular yoke, or a stranded colourwork jumper, so maybe something that has some good alternation between the colours would be best, just in case I don't manage a good tension on longer floats.

First finished knitting project in years: the reversible Basketweaver beanie by Westknits (ravelry.com/patterns/library/t), with yarn from Northbound Knitting (northboundknitting.com/) and Yarnalia, purchased at Good Grief Yarn in Toronto (goodgriefyarn.com/).

All pics are from unblocked product, since I finished it about 45 minutes before saying goodbye to the lovely guest who stayed with me for the past few weeks, and who was the recipient of the beanie. I gave them a small bottle of Eucalan and will instruct them on how to wash and block the beanie. Hope they will enjoy it!

Have good memories especially of knitting during a Sunday afternoon of lunch, drinks, snacks and board games at my other friend's place ❤️

So, you may know that I make a lot of custom crochet toys for people who send me photos or drawings of what they would like. I use a lot of amigurumi of course, but the rest is all freeform crochet. And it all started here with this very wall hanging a few years ago. I just hooked up the various stitches and used yarn colours that suited the narrative I was trying to tell, which was a beach with cliffs and a sky above. It was completely freeing and it made me realise that I could make things without having to use patterns if I wanted to. I called it "Painting with Yarn". Now I paint and sculpt with yarn when I make the custom toys I have turned into a passion and a little money earner on the side. It's very fulfilling and a lot of fun. Give it a go when you have a mo' 😊

A wall hanging representing a beach, cliffs and sky scene made up out of various different crochet stitches. At the bottom is the "sea" in wavy shades of blue and white . Then there is the "beach" in sans coloured yarn with sans coloured "cliffs" on top of which is green "grass" and a single crochet tree with a brown trunk and light green leaves. Above this is the blue "sky" with two fluffy white "clouds"

This is the little lost toy I replaced for the wee girl who is unwell. The crochet version is a little bigger, but I tried to get him as close to the original as possible. Her mum sent me a lovely photo of the wee girl holding her friend and beaming yesterday, which just fills my heart with light to see. I love these toy replacements for the sheer joy they bring to the recipient and myself 🤗
