I complete a knitting project today. The dishcloth is misshapen and I made some mistakes on increases but it’s complete. Last year I used the same yarn for. Tunisian crochet version and it looks less blue than this one. The chiaogoo needles were okay to knit on. I got them in clearance in several sizes so it’s good I find them useable. Another set are less pleasant to use for me and I prefer the Addi Classic circular needles to them.#knitting #learningtoknit #tunisiancrochet
My first decent swatch of knitting practice. I even did binding off. Pretty satisfied with this and had good tension most of the time. #learntoknit
We said goodbye to Fluttershy yesterday. Our little girl is already greatly missed.
Getting close to finishing first hexagon on my new cardigan. Using Wendy Supreme Luxury Cotton silk which I have gathered from many sources since it’s no longer being produced. Hoping to complete by mid-autumn in April. #crochet #crochetingismytherapy #crocheting #hexagon #Cardigan
Another blanket finished today. I love corner to corner crochet and worked this up in a few days. Took longer to do a border. All worth it because it used up several cakes of yarn. #crochet #blanket #corner2corner
It’s taken several months but finally completed my crocheted blanket using LB Mandala yarn. This was supposed to turn into a bag but I decided to keep going and just make a lightweight blanket instead. #crochet #yarn #blanket
Every time I use my car I get an alert. When I check what it is, this weather map shows up. We’re in the middle of a heatwave here so none of the options for the map apply. #heatwave #toyotamultimedia
