So I'm working on a raised flower garden/bed...
It's made of pallets and reclaimed materials ....
So far this is what I got.
Pretty happy, more to come and I hope to finish tonight!

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been personally victimized by the Estonian/Vikkel/Lateral braid


But here I am anyway, persevering despite the hiccup on the right. It’s called personality, okkkkk?

So far I’ve learned the Turkish cast on, how to M1L and M1R, and now this forsaken braid. Next I fear is charting and cabling .

This is the Somerset sock pattern from my 52 Weeks of Socks book which will surely take me 52 years to get through. Especially considering I’ve already caught one mistake in the written pattern, I almost rationalized having 128 total stitches on the round for a sock y’know, cause surely cabling calls for that

Anyway. Happy Monday everyoneeeee

Frick this sock pattern - temporarily.

Going way back to basics because I was just making so many mistakes, here’s where we’re at with a crazy sock lady simple sock pattern using bamboo/acrylic mix.

I don’t know whose skinny calf is squeezing in these, but isn’t the yarn just sooooo berries and cream coded?

Is it bad that I'd love some Eva original socks someday?

 

[EvaLane]

And just like that, three pairs done . I still have to wash and block the new pair, but when can I ever wait to share


Working with bamboo was different and although not my first choice, I’d knit up another pair of vanilla socks with it again. In other knit-worthy news, the nurses all loved the rainbow pair and my sisters been wearing them all week while she’s been recovering.

They’re a bit rough for wear and there’s a tiny hole where I joined the purple toe yarn, so I’ll put them somewhere safe until I’m in a mending mood… for now, I’m restarting on #51 out of 52 Weeks of Socks using a merino/nylon yarn in a grey/blue/silver tone. I’m going to spend time working up a swatch on the cabling to practice before starting the toe-up construction this time, because frick all that

Slow and steady… slow and steadyyyyyy…

Play with you like a ball of wool?

Play with you like a ball of wool?

Only if you respect me/her as deeply as we respect a ball of wool and never ever use the good scissors for anything but yarn/thread/fabric.

It only takes one time using the wrong scissors!! You will never make that mistake again!!
