Meh. I do say that when you make things from your favorite colors of yarn, that combining the leftovers makes projects gorgeous. There are exceptions. This ribbed cap I'm making for #ScrapAlong2026 just doesn't bring me joy.
I'll frog back into the light beginning half and incorporate this unlabeled thrift store yarn. I think it's Austermann Step in colorway 18 Red Grey.
Nope. I started the crown of the first version but thought "nope" and frogged back to the first stripe. Reknit in narrower, neater stripes, I'm much happier with the result. It's my latest ribbed cap for #ScrapAlong2026, knit from four colorways of leftover fingering weight yarn.
Now i've finished my first ever sock the question of whether to wet block or not to block ...
It's currently a *smidgen* too tight but blocking might makes it just way too big..?
hmm 🤔

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.

Historical Knitting & Crochet question:
How old is the usage of Blocking Pins* ?
Presumably it's tied to the invention and popular usage of rust proof pins - so somehow tied to Victorian Era Industrialisation ? - but this is hard for me, a non Historian to research.
[* Blocking Pins are groups of pins that today usually have plastic handles but can also be made with wooden handles]
