Is #FinishItFriday a thing? Because actually I got really excited and finished it Thursday, but that doesn’t sound as good.

I wanna live in it.

Read through the instructions for the upcoming button band and collar and I am absolutely paralyzed with intimidation. Any tips for getting over knitting fears?

It is only when I resign myself to the reality that the ribbing will never end, that the ribbing finally ends.

Took the opportunity to weave in ACTUAL ends, too; you’re welcome, Future Me!

A pizza movie night featuring Wild Robot 🤖😭

And finally getting back on track with this tubular bind off! Wahoo! #portjacket #knitsky

My dog is clearly biased toward my knitting hobby over my sewing hobby.

I learned so much making this Port Jacket! This was my first time knitting button holes and I am so glad I stuck with it and figured it out. The details on this sweater are really what make it stand out.

Pattern: #portjacket by Ozetta
Yarn: Cascade 220

A sunny day to weave ends at the park. Next stop, blocking!!

I finished the button band! A week ago I was terrified of this step, and now I’ve done it. Knitting is such a wild, educational ride.

#portjacket progress! This is knitting up light and cozy; I can’t wait to wear it.

Pattern is by Ozetta; 🧶 is a single strand of Wooldreamers Manchelopis in Gris Claro held together with Red Door Fibers Loft Suri Silk in Sand Dune.

I always feel like I’m “almost there” when I reach the ribbing but then the ribbing takes soooooooo long; I could’ve knit the rest of the thing twice by now and I’ve got an inch still to go.

It’s really coming together! I had this mad notion I might ALMOST finish it today, which of course I wasn’t anywhere close, but I’m on track to go button shopping when the store reopens on Thursday and that’s good enough.

Unpicking my tubular binding (the worst) that was one stitch off and never settled into my rib correctly. I so badly wanted to just not care about this but I was reminded this hobby is to have something creative to do — so yay, more knitting time for me? #knitsky

I finally absorbed the reality the my #PortJacket will never get done if I never even start the 2nd sleeve, so my whole goal for yesterday was just to pick up the stitches and do the shoulder short rows. And well begun is half done, because now I’m flying again.

The end of my #portjacket is in sight!

On this #wipwednesday I have two: a #PortJacket from #ozetta and a #VaylaHoodedScarf from #Novita. One’s simple and working up quickly; the other is inching its way toward almost eight feet of cables. It’s about balance.
