I found the perfect backing for the blanket I'm making for my kiddo's teddys. I love that I can shop in my stash & scraps.

I will join the two with a crochet border.

Blocking my colour work practice: a tiny blanket for my kid's teddys/dolls/amigurumis

I freehanded some variations inspired by daisies. Very retro.

Less sentimental post.
Say hello to Edith!

She's my new knitting supervisor (I'm exhausted of frogging), and is named after the great acadien musician Edith Butler.

Well my first #knitting project is going somewhere. Dunno where, and maybe not doing so elegantly... Realized I made it waaay wider than I bought yarn for in terms of length...

So I either need more yarn to make it longer, or gotta deal with stripes being vertical. I think that might be ugly... But I don't fancy buying even more #yarn for it. Ah well.

I'm trying to go with the flow for this one. Still have 3.2 #skeins left to #knit (2.2 more grey and 1 more red) and the knitting has gotten looser, so ah well. 🤷😸

The red looks much deeper/darker than the image I grabbed of it, as does the grey.

Ok #knitters I am ready to tackle my first sock. I want to use two long corded needles- not DPNs or a magic loop or short cords. I have spent hours searching for a good tutorial. I can find bits and pieces, but not one that will babystep a blithering idiot from cast on to cast off. I don’t speak: “oh, do your favorite heel” or “insert a lifeline here” or pattern abbreviations about leaning mother stitches. Does anyone have a favorite reference video? Thanks! #knittingsocks #beginnerknitter #knit
