Grateful Jon Congrats! It’s mind-blowing, isn’t it? Happy purling!

I doubt that I can make anything in time for Christmas, but I’m tempted to at least knit a tiny vest for a certain fox using scraps from the toddler cowl from last week. Perhaps, if I’m really productive, even a pair of shorts. So kind of a Christmas gift for a plush :)

Yes, that would be even more fun!

Great to hear about the doll again! I was thinking about it the other day (Is that creepy? Thinking about internet strangers’ knitting projects?). You’re doing great and it’s most probably doable until next week, depending on what else you have on your plate. And as long as the baby hasn’t watched certain horror films yet, the “creepiness” shouldn’t be a problem either :)

All the best for your friend!!

OMG I hadn’t seen the pocket!

Very well done!

I love your pattern matching! The “covered by the buttonband” illusion is great. Also, it seems to me that the pattern placement works great as it is.

And you are super punctual, having the shirt done and pressed before the pre-Halloween weekend even begins!

Picking up the green theme, here’s my WIP for the week. A cowl for a toddler based on this pattern. I’ve made the neck long enough to fold over and I’m planning to finish the edge with a light crochet ruffle in a contrasting color. The blue is just a provisional cast-on, a technique I learned for my previous project.

It doesn’t look like much on the pic, but I hope for the best…

What a crisp bubble definition! It looks amazing, wonderful job! Is the picture taken after washing/blocking the project?

You’re perfectly right about the imperfections, our knitting is an unintentional diary. Glad that everything went well.

Beautiful jumper! It gives some (very) remote Elizabethan vibes, doesn’t it?

@thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee, @MrsDoyle, @CutexKitty, thank you so much for the good vibes and TAAT appreciation! The truth is, that I already frogged and restarted once because (a) I created huge ladders and (b) I split the sleeves at the wrong place, so I couldn’t work my decreases properly. And I really need to think carefully about what goes where when I put the work down and pick it up again. Definitely not going to watch TV while working on this one, lol
