Little yellow eyed penguin has feet now I have non-broken needles.

The needles from Filzrausch are worlds better and so much finer than the flimsy one that came in the beginner’s Ashford kit. And a wooden holder ensures a relaxed grip. Much more enjoyable. Less self-mutilatory too.

New project - should be a pretty quick knit on 5.5 mm needles.

I'm using this yarn and I'm not sure whether I like it. Probably not.

It's a novelty yarn and I'm not even sure how it's constructed. It's not plied, I think it's a sort of tube. Also the fiber combo (cotton, alpaca, nylon and a tiny bit of wool) doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

The yarn was bought by my MIL and she can't knit anymore so I'm turning this into a vest for her.

Ok what's the term for this bad habit: I have a #crochet mens hat pattern that I know comes out right. When I want to make a hat for someone, do I use it? Of course not! I will spend hours looking for and trying a new pattern that I have to frog multiple times because it comes out comically misshapen or mis-sized. Why can I not just stick to what works? Totally pathological. 🧶 #FiberArts #Brochet #Knitting

It's Tuesday night, it has been a crap day with crap weather, brain has ceased to function and filled itself with wine. So of course I am going to cast on a linen sweater t-shirt whose pattern exists solely in my head. What could possibly go wrong?

I need some size advice.

My MIL bought yarn some years ago to knit herself a vest. She's now decided she can't do that herself anymore and so I offered to make it for her.

So far no problem, I picked out a pattern that I think she'll like. But I'm not sure, what size to make. She's close to 90 and has become frail and tiny over the last few years. She's a few hours away so I can't just hop over and take some measurements.

Couple of tiny details still to do but overall I'm very happy with the result!
