@kurobita I am thinking of making these for our holiday tree, and if it goes well they might be a gift for someone next year https://www.instagram.com/p/Cz3oGGWL9d-/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
@thegiddystitcher As far as I have committed right now I am doing zero gift knitting and knitting things only for myself. At least until January.
@thegiddystitcher I see that my comment appeared like magic!!! Also December is sock month OMG
@thegiddystitcher Sock blockers are pretty much unnecessary unless you do some kind of lacy thing that you want to have show up in photos! (Also weird that whoever you were responding to doesn’t show up in this thread but maybe it’s a lemmy thing?)
@just_chill @thegiddystitcher @discworld Omg this is exactly what I was looking for @Pufferfish
@Timecircleline @knitting Yay! Congratulations!
@thegiddystitcher I used alpaca once and the biggest challenge for me was that they don’t have the same elasticity as wool so the didn’t stretch and then snap back the way I would have wanted. Probably should not have done a stranded color pattern with alpaca. Can’t tell you too much about how well they wore because I didn’t wear them much even though they were beautiful.
