Hat in progress. I'm stuck. Does anyone know what 'pass st on cable needle over the outermost st on left needle so that it is not twisted and slip this st over on to right needle.' means, because I haven't the foggiest. 🤣 I'll work it out. I've tried on the piece and used a lifeline but it went horribly wrong, so I'm going to practice/experiment elsewhere. #Knitting
This is actually a purple hat being knitted along with turquoise coloured markers for the repeats. All you can see at the moment is the ribbing and about 12 rows of stocking and lace work. This is sitting on my mostly blue duvet cover as I was knitting late last night.

It's not very obvious but this is a #FuckTrump dishcloth. It's a present for a friend. The yarn is 100% cotton and it's candycane coloured. I've even added a loop to go on a hook. #Knitting #FuckTrump
A square piece of knitting with a knitted loop to go on a hook, made with green, red and white worsted yarn. The wording isn't very clear but it says Fuck Trump over two lines. There's a narrow border all the way round. It's a dishcloth.

All the bits are knitted. Now for the embroidery, sewing and stuffing. #Sheep #Knitting
An image of all the knitted components of a stuffed knitted white sheep with a grey face. It has ears, arms, legs, and lots of loose threads.

Sheep so far. Front and back of body, and part of a leg and a foot. #Sheep #Knitting
Two rectangles of white knitted yarn and a flat version of a foot and lower leg.

This is my first project of the five. It's going to be a sheep... This is Moss stitch. #Knitting #Sheep
A rectangle of knitted white yarn resting on a green sofa cushion. I've left a measuring tape next to it to show it's dimensions as I didn't have a banana to hand. It's attached to knitting needles and is about 16cm long by about 10cm wide. It doesn't look like a sheep yet.

It's arrived! I should probably be overwhelmed... but I'm not. That's five projects including a Christmas jumper. #Knitting
A neat pile of 28 balls of wool and toy stuffing laid out on my green sofa. There's several different colours including grey, green, red, white, black, and purple.

hello #knitting friends! I am in search of #lace patterns. For some reason my knitting love so far has been about how fun it is to work with bulky yarn, and how much I like making lace.
I do not especially want to make garments because the other thing that is fun is finishing things!

this all leads to me wanting a bunch of lace patterns that are in the 15-50 stitches wide realm and will look cool even if i only do 2-3 repeats of the lace. sure, if i have enough yarn and it works out, that could be some kind of scarf, but I am thinking of them as art objects right now.
supportive advice is welcome! I've been knitting less than a year, there's so much I don't know

(look for the post where i try to find them homes in 6-12 months!)

Even better - I saw an awesome friend this weekend and she gave me a ton of gorgeous homespun that will be perfect for this kind of thing! So I'm READY. My size 10 needles are free, and I am going to catalog some yarn!

a large amount of homespun yarn laid out on my dining table. it's a lot of different colors, all gorgeous.

Can someone please explain to me why yarn producers think this is an acceptable way of winding balls of yarn?

It too little coffee o’clock for this kind of nonsense. #knitting

A ball of fuzzy cream colored yarn wound parallel into an oval shape. A good portion of the yarn is sagging off the ball.

Looking for accessible/adaptive knitting methods/devices for colorwork and tension! I have hEDS and my body CANNOT physically relax enough to get good, consistent knitting tension. The #1 tip people say, "relax," is not possible for my body without enough muscle relaxers to kill me.

So, are there any good assistive devices for this? Has a clever disabled knitter come up with a better way to do this yet? I've tried knitting thimbles and they just make it worse for me.

Really enjoying this #knit. Pattern is Simultaneous Sweater by Megan Monroe. Yarn is my own Ripples Crafts #handdyedYarn yarn - the Arcadia DK base which is an upcycled merino yarn (non mulesed). The pattern uses 4 colours. And I love it.

#Knitting #Bookstodon

During my post-surgery convalescence, I've been knitting up a storm (for me -- I'm very slow). Finished knitting and blocking this Sabai Top by Susanne Müller. I like how it turned out. (photo attached)

I added a slip-stitch crochet row at the bottom and neckline edges to keep them from curling.

I'll wear it to my book club tonight to discuss “Blood, Fire, & Gold: The Story of Elizabeth I & Catherine de Medicine” by Estelle Paranque. Great book, crazy history.

A woman with short dark hair and glasses is modeling her newly knitted, copper-colored sleeveless shirt. She is wearing black slacks. The yarn is DK weight and a blend of cotton, baby alpaca wool, and silk. It drapes nicely.

My brother in law will be dropping by in a minute so he can take the socks for my niece and nephew :) (they tried to raise them non gender essentialist, but alas, we have a boy knight and a pretty pretty princess) #knitting
