Well I managed to finish my KAL Mobius Strip Cowl in the allotted time.
The hardest part was Kitchener stitching the tube.
My arthritic hand coped...lol...but my thumb is kind of sore.

An arthritis flare-up in my left hand, especially my thumb, had stopped me knitting for the past 5 weeks.
I started my cowl for Skein Yarn’s Accessories KAL on 1st June. The KAL finishes 31st July.
Last night I knitted a few rows without too much pain. Big question - can I do the remaining 49 rows then Kitchener the ends together by then?
(Yes, I'm using my beloved DPNs, I honestly don't like circular needles...lol).

The best way to celebrate knit and crochet in public day in Malta is sitting in the park in the shade of a huge tree accompanied by a cool breeze....
Happy #worldknitandcrochetinpublicday 🧶

Where are you knitting or crocheting in public?

Going to start another pair.

Wonderment Socks pattern by Debbie Ford

’My son is autistic and life can be a challenge for him, but he finds peace in simple magics. When life becomes stressful, he waves his wand and iridescent bubbles float up through the air. He watches them drift, preparing the wand to breath his frustrations into a hundred more, and I find myself enchanted by this simple magic. I stand beside him and watch them dance over fences, and away, and with them my mind mellows into wonderment and peace with him.’

Ravelry

March finished in the Secret-Stash-Busting sock along, just waiting till I get my new blockers...lol.

No pattern used. I just added a few cables.

Yarn is Wollbiene - Crazy Cotton, these will be bed socks for winter. Never used it before, not sure I like it.

Who doesn’t need a fresh pair of warm, woolly socks? Feet get cold here in winter time, and let’s be honest - hand-knit socks just feel better!

Check out my stylish and sporty Old-School Tennis Sock knitting pattern - it's easy-to-follow, knitting tutorials, and support are available, so you can't go wrong with the, pattern (pattern in website. Link in bio).

Also, my impromptu photoshoot had an unexpected guest - Max, who spotted the perfect opportunity for a cuddle and absolutely stole the show! 😅
