It's nearly spring but making this headband is very comforting 💚

Pattern: Marble Staircase headband by Celeste Knitwear

Finally finished these socks. They were my second backup project so only pulled out when I couldn't do the first two. I reaquainted myself with cabling, discovered how annoying cable needles could be on, say, a crowded train, but then learned how to cable without a needle. Yay!

Also reaquainted myself with how much I don't enjoy magic loop knitting so went back to a set of dpns for the second sock. And so the second sock is about two sizes larger which no one but me (and you) will ever know.

The pattern is on Ravelry called Slippery Slope Socks

I'm three repeats into the cable knit vest! I am so excited for this!! #knitting #WiP #cableKnitting

Finished the back yoke for the Manhattan cardigan by Xiaowei Design. First time trying any sort of cabling, and am doing it without a cable needle. It is going slowly, but a very fun knit so far!

I'm doing a test run of a cable knit project with some leftover yarn, so I can get a feel for it before I knit it in the proper yarn. I found the free pattern on Ravelry called "Bolivian Bulky Celtic Cable Vest" by Shannon Dunbabin. Due to lack of a printer I copied it down by hand and color coded it so I hopefully don't get lost!! #knitting #cableknitting

I want to make a coat out of this wool/nylon (75%/25%) blend but I haven't found a crochet stitch that both shifts the colours in an attractive way and *doesn't* eat up so much yarn that I can't make anything big enough to serve as a winter coat.

So knitting it is. But I don't like the way stockinette stitch stripes with short colour changes, and, frankly, knitting stockinette is boring. Plus, being able to scrunch up the fabric a bit should help make it a bit warmer. (I'll probably still need to make a lining because the fibre is a bit scratchy, but that's not a problem.)

I want to use a combination of geometric and organic shapes because I like the way that looks. However, this fibre has virtually no sheen and the short colour changes can obscure subtle stitch patterns. This is one of the stitch patterns I have been experimenting with. Will I use it? We'll see.
