Heh, my mom is currently waiting to take off for a flight to see her sister.
Her sock needles just broke.
So she texted me.
I have just ordered a couple pair to show up at my aunt's house tomorrow.
This was honestly the easiest way for Mom to deal with this particular problem. Which amuses me to no end.
My yarn arrived today. This is for the Clapotis I plan to make to match my new Winter coat. Yes, just in time for things to get warm. But it will be ready for the next cold season, right?
I will link the Clapotis pattern for those who have not seen it. And here is the last one I made, though I do not wear it stretched out. I wear it like a scarf, kind of rolled up.
My new yarn has lots of good colors for my coat and I am excited. Greeny blues, bluey greens, purples, green-greens, even a nice golden yellow. I am really happy I found something in the colorway I wanted. We'll see how it pools when I start knitting it up!
My favourite magic trick is casting on X amount of stitches but ending up with X+2 later unintentionally.
#FlashbackThursday Small Shale is the smallest variation of the Old Shale stitch pattern, which is a traditional Shetland stitch pattern. Sets of decreases are alternated with sets of yarn over increases, creating a lovely wavy edge of both the bottom and top of the fabric https://www.lavisch.com/site/stitch-pattern-small-shale/

Et voilà, mon châle bariolé est terminé. La laine bleu canard est en alpaga et est trop trop douce. Un vrai doudou . Est-ce que vous voulez les explications?

i ordered some dark mother of pearl buttons for the sweater. there are so many amazing buttons out there - for my next garment i just might pick some buttons i really love and then choose the design/colors around them! #knitting #fiberarts
Can any knitters help me understand these instructions? The way this is coming out is that I feel like I'm actually making a quadruple stitch, not MDS (make double stitch). Because I end on a "knit the wrap", which when pulled tight turns 2 stitches into 4. Knitting the wrap in these instructions means placing wrap on right needle and knitting stitch and wrap together.
The row instructions:
Row 3: Sl1 wyf, k to w, k the w, turn the work.
Row 4: Mds, p to 1 st before end, k1 tbl.
I've seen teeny tiny crochet hooks - 0.6 mm. I've even used them.
But I've never seen #knitting needles of that size. Until today.
I've seen instructions for sock knitting from the late 18hundreds, that suggest to cast on up to 160 sts for one sock. No needle size given, but they are probably in that range ...
