Alternating with my HiyaHiya Sharp DPNs and my Prym Ergonomics DPNs with my spiral socks, and I don't know which one I like better! I like both of them, for different reasons. I like the really sharp points of the HiyaHiyas, but I also like the teardrop-shaped points of the Pryms. I like how slick the HiyaHiyas are, but I also like how light the Pryms are. I normally don't worry too much about whether a needle is light or not, but with DPNs, it matters more, because half the needles are waving around unsupported, which can drag the work down if they are too heavy.

The only drawback of the Pryms is they become a bit too non-glidey when the weather is hot, but right now it is balmy.

Guess who's unpicking 2 x 140 stitches of kitchener? #knittng
I had an old pillowcase. I needed a new project bag (too many pairs of socks on the needles at one time). Fast and sloppy sewing session later, I have a bag. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts, the fabric is pretty threadbare. But I loved it too much to throw away. #knittng #sewing #maker

you say to yourself, "i don't need a template for my bindings, i've made these notebooks often enough i can do it by sight" this is the devil speaking. make a template or the holes will be uneven and…

I found the schematic for #ZabetShawl2!

The idea of being that if you start with a reasonable quantity of yarn (2200+ yds), and then divide it into 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32, you can knit each triangle in turn, picking up stitches from the previous triangle to make sure they are all joined, and in the end you have an asymmetrical shawl that will curve around your body. You will always have enough yarn, because there will be 1/32 left over.

Afgelopen tijd veel baby kleren en dekens gebreid. Soms werd het een te breed en te kort truitje of juist te lang en te smal vestje. Valt niet mee om patronen te gebruiken voor kleine maatjes en verschillende baby’s. Hopelijk past dit kruippakje. #knittng #baby #fiberarts #crafts @knitting
I feel that there is so much in the air at the moment & so many things that are uncertain or it's too early to get excited about them. It's making me feel discombobulated. All I seem able to settle to is my #knittng It seems to soothe my #overthinking #brain
About 2 1/2 years after casting on for the Wildly Striped Socks, I have finally turned the heels and am on the home stretch. I had both legs done, but ripped back because the small stranded color pattern I was using just couldn’t stand up to the high contrast variegation in one yarn. Also the gauge was seriously off on one. So after ripping I set them aside, and then life intervened, and for a while I didn’t do much knitting that required more thought than a dishcloth. But here we are. #knittng
