Aroace Cake for the kid update: sides are done! I took a little break because I hated the bamboo needles so much. Finally got new metal needles so was able to complete side 2. I love how the white stripe looks like the middle icing.
I’ll start on the cake bottom tomorrow (dark blue) and then I still have to figure out what to do about the icing around the outside. I was thinking of doing the non-binary flag for them, but it may be too many stripes. I might just stick with white.

Two knitted aroace flags. Stripes are (from the bottom) dark blue, light blue, white, yellow, orange.

#The100DayProject of #knitting my #yarn swatch blanket continues.
The black is a mystery yarn from before.

Top right is Schoppel-Wolle Reggae Ombré. You can't see the ombré effect here but it's also pink, purple, and deep green.
Bottom left is super fluffy Red Heart Calista. I don't even know which direction it goes in or was knitted in - it's so fluffy.
Bottom right is Rico Creative Galaxy Chunky, so called because it has black sequins that sparkle within it.
4 knitted patches next to each other other. Black, teal, a very fluffy brown which looks kind of like it's an animal, and a gradient with black sequins.


Apparently this is day 16 of #The100DayProject ?

Here's colorful mystery #yarn from yesterday and a fluffy grey Alize Furlana today!

I'm going to have a challenge next month. I'm meant to travel and don't want to take much with me. Maybe I will take a couple balls of yarn and 1 set of needles and knit different patterns with the same yarn? But if I want to incorporate them into my chaos blanket, I should maybe start to leave random gaps for them to fit in later? What say you?
#knitting
3 photos of 5 square knitted swatches.
There is a very fluffy grey furlana square, a smooth square with rainbow colors, a square with bluish and greenish and purple tones that I actually had to combine from 2 scraps, another square with red, gem, brown, and a final square with pink and red tones.


#Knitting report: 1/3 of the blanket done. All colors are in.

All the colourways from our Sunlight and Shorelines mini-release. I’m glad you enjoyed looking at the images. Going forward, I will be dyeing even smaller batches and revisiting my existing stock. Although, as an artist, I love creating new colourways, it is almost entirely the older ones that are purchased and the market determines what I can realistically produce and stay in business. I’m sure you’ll love seeing it all again! #mothyandthesquid #yarn #knitting #crochet mothyandthesquid.com


The Expanse plus knitting is a perfect way to spend this rainy Monday night.

I'm excited to share that I'm exploring some alternative social media platforms beyond Meta! I'm really looking forward to the experiences I’ll have there. Additionally, you can find me on Substack under Chiefxpressdog, and I can't wait to see what engaging content I’ll be creating and sharing in the future! #Knitting #Witchcraft #Journalism #Neurodivergence


Just thinking out loud (no, I'm not planning a new project, never, I just started one ...)

Generally: do have garter stitch mosaic knitting and normal garter stitch have the same row gauge?

I know, in the end I'll have to try it out myself, but I'd like to tap the hive mind on this. If there's no chance that this works together I just can send this idea sailing into the great sunset ...

Is anyone else working on a Beekeeper’s Quilt? There are 10.5K projects listed on Rav but many are abandoned or finished at much much smaller sizes. This one is amazing and the notes indicate she started in 2015 and finished this year. Page available to Rav members only but here’s a screenshot. #BeekeepersQuilt #knitting

Not perfect, but good enough. Yes, the wool is rustic and scratchy. Exactly what I expected and wanted.

Ich hab mal ne Frage an die StrickerInnen hier im #Fediverse :
Ich habe meine erste Strickjacke gestrickt und möchte mir gleich noch einen Pullover stricken. Das Garn ist Lana Grossa Silkhair.
Jetzt ist das Garn in der Farbe überall ausverkauft oder teurer.
Jetzt die Frage: SilkHair ist doch keine neue Marke von Lana Grossa. Kommt dann immer wieder neues Garn nach? Sollte ich auf meine Farbe warten oder eine andere Marke kaufen?

When one is grafting garter stitch, one brings out all the tools— stronger readers (regular ones perched on top of head for later use), neck lights to illuminate the work surface, internet tutorial because one cannot remember the steps, and (not seen) glass of wine for when done.

And yes, this Hue Shift Afghan #knitting project is COMPLETE.



I need to slow down my sock knitting a bit so I picked a more complicated colourwork pattern - how could I resist this name??

My yarn colours are inadvertently giving 1990s nostalgia, too.

It's pretty (relatively) expensive for anything cedar to ward off Wool moths.

I did an experiment. I put drops of clove oil directly into a clean fleece that was infected with Wool moths.
... the Wool moths and their larvae died. In the fleece. The infection of that bit of fleece ended.

Wool moth males smell pheromones given off by females (pheromone traps). Adults don't eat. Only the larvae do.

Watching this video where this knitter finds a wool moth in her yarn stash.

Tbh my first reaction would be to take a baseball bat and beat the yarn basket until the bat breaks. (I don't own a cricket bat, my part of the family isn't THAT British.)

Idk why my first reaction is "SMASH TO KILL!!" or "BURN IT WITH ALL OF THE FIRE!!"

Idk how else in that moment to kill tiny winged demons that eat yarn.

(I've done the moth kill saga before though.)

I love this anecdote. It's thought-provoking and evocative. Full text of story is in the alt-text.

#knitting #shortstory
@aluminumneedles

I'm knitting in the corner at a party
and guys my age stop by to tell me I remind them of their aunt, of their grandmother. This is a compliment and I take it as such. They confess to having tried crochet once, and I smile. They get back in line for the bathroom.

I'm knitting in the corner at a party and a queer woman sits on the floor next to me, arranges her skirt, and smiles up at me. (I try not to blush.) She asks me all the questions on her mind about my craft and I answer them, hands still moving. We swap yarn sources. She doesn't stay, but she knows where to find me. 

I'm knitting in the corner at a party and everyone knows where to find me when they need a minute, when socializing is too much and the music is too loud and they need to catch their breath. They pretend to be checking in on me, which is sweet, but I can see the relief in their eyes the moment they stop performing for a house full of people. They sit down and tell me things and all the while they never take their eyes off my hands. 

The party has wound down and I'm still knitting and the hosts, two guys in their twenties, thank me for "helping to curate the vibe." I had no idea that's what I was doing. I leave the party having forgotten to drink anything and without that woman's number but with many rows added to my top-down raglan sweater. I call it a night, and a good one.


Seems like a good time to share this free knitting pattern for the This Is Fine Sweater by Yu Jie 玉杰 inspired by the meme by KC Green (and with Green's permission). Amazing sweater on my knitting bucket list!

Usually, I dye yarn to reflect colours in photos (mine or licensed) but one thing I don’t do is use AI to generate matching images. This is mainly because I enjoy working this way. To me, it’s authentic and valuable. I also think photographers would rather be paid for their work than have it just used to train AI without permission or compensation. Plus, AI has environmental impacts that must be taken seriously. #mothyandthesquid #yarn #knitting #crochet


The 2024 rainbow yarn club was all about frogs. Some of these colourways are still available, and Mossy Frog is a repeatable. This year we are diving into the colourful world of tropical fish and there are just a couple of January skeins left (Betta Fish) if you’d like to nab one and join us for February then you can still collect the whole rainbow! #yarn #knitting #crochet #mothyandthesquid mothyandthesquid.com


Finished the cable knit hat for my Grandma-in-law. Last time we visited she mentioned not having a warm hat and being worried about having to leave the house to go to hospital for any reason.

She's a former knitter who's now nearly blind so I thought a cable would be a good pattern so she can feel it, rather than colourwork she wouldn't really be able to see.

I hope it brings her some joy because she's not having a good time of it these days.

Has anyone ever seen a fair-isle sampler like this before? From the last century or earlier. If so, please get in touch!

I've found two so far, and I'm really keen to find out if this was a common way of recording favourite colours and patterns amongst knitters.

This was my granny's and she used it to record her fav patterns passing through the Hunters of Brora wool mill shop she worked in.

Please share widely, I'd be so grateful!

I’m not really a cardigan person and this is not really my style. But for some reason, I find this design fascinating, and I think it would look fantastic in handspun. It’s a reverse rib stitch pattern that is two rows of knit alternating with two rows of purl so kind of like deeper bolder garter stitch ridges. It would take a lot of spinning for me to do enough yarn for this, so that’s not happening any time soon, but maybe someday. #spinning #knitting https://www.purlsoho.com/cocoon-cardigan-pattern.html

Also finished this dishcloth recently.

My mum asked for some knitted dishcloths, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to go through my Vogue Knitting Stitch Dictionary book and practice some of the neat patterns showcased in there. :) This one is called "Eyelet Blocks" with a garter stitch border, and an added i-cord loop for hanging.

A piece with mixed emotions connected to it.

I learned knitting from my mom, about 50 years ago.

After getting sick about 2.5 years ago, she had to give up any fibercrafts and so I made this stole for her - it were just her colors.

When she died last year, I took that stole with me. It's absolutely not in my colors, so I have a hard to combine it with anything but I still wear it now and then.
