Progress on varsity letter sweater. I’m not doing intarsia in the round correctly- I’m purling the white 🧶 and then using a needle to pass back through each stitch on the row above to get both raised texture & move yarn back into correct position. Will also duplicate #knit gold outline.

Last year I was gifted 4 balls of white wool but never really loved any of the patterns I tried with it. Now it’s getting frogged to become part of a Nocturnal Jumper by Saskie & Co.

#caturday update on the newest stray-
it still won’t let me pet it, but it comes daily for food and this morning ate treats from my hand. Trying to patiently build up trust and not scare it off.
For now I’m calling it Zappa.

Can we talk needles?
Inspired by Debbie T’s post on circulars which I’ve reposted.
I taught myself to knit when I was 9, but spent most of my time crocheting until I got my first set of bamboo interchangeables (clear case) two years ago. Completely resurrected my love of knitting.

How do you store yours?
I’m so glad I rarely use circulars!
Also, I’m tidy, I couldn’t stand the mess of these
The few circulars I do have are wound up in their original boxes

Cat tales…
The cat formerly known as Sylvester is now called Bowie. He declared me his person and moved in.
About a month ago, a cat shaped cloud of smoke appeared at the edge of our yard. Saturday he came to the back door, desperate for food. Here we go again… 🤗

The brown yarn in the mitts was a gift my daughters brought me from Finland, handspun 50% wool, 50% alpaca, 100% sourced from Finland. 🧶 🥰

Getting quite dramatic- any wagers?
I’m almost halfway through the toes, holding my breath. There is a tiny scrap reserved to seam the toes closed if I make it that far.

I’m working on a very modified Twist Loop Top by Other Loops in KFO cotton merino, color Mole. It will probably be a bit cropped because I don’t want to buy more 🧶
Since I have a road trip next week, I also started the Autumn Leaves Linier Top by Cloud Forest Studio, 🆓 pattern.

Latest socks. Using up yarn from stash, I had the 2x2 cuffs done when the latest Golden Honey Sock Club pattern dropped so I decided to adopt them for this design. Last pair I’m making specifically for my daughter to wear while on her trip.

Pattern is Rosmarino, free from Hobbii.
I have about half an inch of length left on the Twist Loop Top, and then it’s time for the next project.

Project fail… Solene cardigan. I gauge swatched, but the size seemed off so I blocked before working on arms. Glad I did because it grew more than 6” in length and the arm holes were way too big. Should I try again with smaller needles. 🧶 is Yarnique Merino Wool.

This started as a tank top, but I had extra yarn so I added sleeves and turned it into a tee, free tank top pattern is from knitcroaddict.com
🧶 Queensland Eco-twist in frosted linen
I love the texture but it does split and for being a light color it released a lot of dye into the water.

Socks are done, and the thicker cotton/acrylic yarn reminds me of early 90’s slouch socks. The color break is at a weird spot but that’s as far as I could get with the yarn I had on hand. The color shift is hidden by the strap on these slightly too wide shoes, which was a fun discovery.
