If you were writing a book of knitting patterns, and the patterns were all for yoke-style sweaters, the perfect title doesn't exi-

I got to virtually play Pirate Borg for the first time today, and I finished the main body section of my Barndance sweater while the game was going on. Now, I’m just working on the quick bottom body motif before I pick up for sleeves. My gauge perfectly matches that of the pattern in plain and colorwork stockinette, so I’m very proud of my tensioning here. It’s going to look even prettier post-blocking. #knitting

...Michelle can also be found on her website, MakerTube.net. Lots of great knitting and other crafted content in well-edited videos in both places.

@ConsumableJoy I sure hope you are taking a big bow for what you've created with #FinishOrFrogAlong. Bravo!! 👏👏👏👏👏

Another delicious batt carded up this evening! It’s raining and gets dark so quickly these days, so I don’t have any photos yet with natural lighting (so not listed for sale yet) but look at this Merino, South American wool, and bamboo 4-oz mega batt! This would make the most bouncy & soft yarn!🧶 #fiberarts #MastoArt #knitting #crochet

I have been told that it is customary to do an #introduction post, so here I go.

I love #cats, have 2; #squid (arsehole) and #newton (fatso).

#music is important to me and I have something playing most of the time.

#sewing and #knitting are my hobbies as well as #gardening. I sound like an old woman! Oh wait I am!!

Love #books have way too many. Too many on #baking and #crafts

Oh I talk too much and laugh way too loud - might also find me dancing in the aisle of my local supermarket.

Trip out to #Whitby today! I've lived near here most of my life but only just read Dracula for the first time so there may have been a minor amount of infodumping at Other Half about places that were important in the book, bless him.

Got a little car #knitting done, bloomed many Big Flowers for the pikmin, and found a sculpture of a lady knitting a gansey so there was a small amount of infodumping there too 😅

Not pictured are all the sweets we bought, which I will be making a start on just as soon as I've warmed back up.

A lovely day out, which will now be ruined because we play each other in #FantasyFootball tonight 🙃

#Crafters !

I'm in the market for some nice long #crochet or #knitting #HandWarmers / #ArmWarmers - do you make/sell something like this?

Hit me up, I'd love to buy them from someone on the Fediverse rather than etsy/ebaying them.

Colourful patterns preferred. Boosts appreciated. Thank you!!

It's HERE and I am VERY EXCITED to receive my two shades of what many people consider to be the most boring colour in the world!

Wanted to get them on a fairly neutral surface for accurate colours. Ignore the cable management 😅

Edit: I do know how to spell, honest.

Well... I'm starting to remember why I moved over to crochet. How is it I cast on 20 stitches and then have 23 the next row, 21 the following and 22 on the third!

Still, I'm not going to give up quite yet. Maybe Friday will be Q and allow me to do some research and practice.

Anyway, I'm off to bed. Nightol!

I finished some fair isle socks! I enjoyed knitting these, but definitely regretted choosing such low-contrast colours 🙈

The motifs are from the book 200 Fair Isle Designs by Mary Jane Mucklestone, and the yarn is West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4 Ply in Butterscotch and Marshmallow.

Good day, fedi, do any of you have recs for a pattern for a crocheted or knitted sea otter? With all the LLM spam patterns, I want to get one that I know will be (ahem) a real pattern. Preferably something you know has been made, or from a pattern maker you know is an actual person 😬 I'm better at crochet than knitting, but will look at either or both, I want to find the best one I can! Thank you! #knitting #crochet #amigurumi #crafting
