It’s September and my summer top is done, which means one thing: My longtime WIP (once frogged, now being re-knitted) is out of the drawer and ready to cover everything in red hair!
Unfortunately, it also means that I’m using my old basic circulars again because I superstitious and afraid of changing needles mid-project). Significantly lesser knitting experience compared to my beloved Reflections.
That colour is everything to me 🧡 Better luck with it this time!
My contribution to WIP day is progress on my snuggly green Justyna Jumper. It’d been sitting for a while (because sleeves) but the #FallFinishAlong over on Mastodon really has my arse in gear.
One sleeve finished, the other immediately picked up and started so I didn’t lose steam. Making good progress now. And shoutout to @Flughoernchen@feddit.de because that much simpler elastic bind-off you put me onto recently has been a gamechanger for the cuffs 😆
It sounds like you’ll have it on time for winter - and it looks so warm! Love the saturated green!
If all my clothes weren’t black, they’d definitely be green as a second choice 😄
Managed another two whole sleeve rounds last night after posting this too so you know, totes storming along…
Totally know what you mean. My clothes are mostly plain black/brown/grey because these colours are a safe bet for me. I’m weary of taking a colour risk when I’ll put so much time and effort in making a garment…“Luckily”, knitting with black yarn is such a pain in the eye that I’m forced to pick a colour :)
This looks so soft and squishy
I’m pretty sure everyone is tired of seeing my Halloween-y double knit scarf. I suspect it’s cursed because every time I put it on my son, it “needs one or two more charts” to be long enough.
Beautiful color!
@QTpi @weirdsquid Not even gonna click through from Mastodon to reply to this, I’m just gonna say SHOW US YOUR CURSED SCARF 😂
Here’s is the cursed scarf. Progress slowed because of birthday party preparation but this should be it this time.
