It sounds like you’ll have it on time for winter - and it looks so warm! Love the saturated green!

Thank you so much! True, it isn’t that bad. But it looses its shape the moment you touch it and it really grew since I first wore it.
The yarn is nice, although it got a little rough on my hands towards the end, when I spent more time on the project.

That’s a great find! I can totally picture a very good friend of mine wearing one of those. (Could that be the beginning of yet another WIP?)

So true! I’ve felted a couple of wool items over the past two years because I wasn’t paying attention… And modern acrylics are so soft! I went through my mom’s abandoned stash today and the acrylic yarns she had from the eighties. Were. So. Rough.

(To be clear: mom’s fine, just not knitting any more)

I’m right there with you. No finished projects in my household and the only thing I’ve ever blocked are my recent swatches. So, thanks for asking the question!

On a different note:
I totally misinterpreted where you were going with this post, based on the title alone (before reading the main body). I expected it would be about the void left behind when a longtime project is completed. :D

“Specialized hobby tools” sounds like a community I would join… BTW, I’m a little proud that I attracted attention from the local timeline :) If you stick around, we might even convert you to knitting!

Some hard blocking will definitely happen!

They are compatible, so you can always buy a couple :)
That is, if you live in one of the four countries they ship to. I don’t, and although I’d love their lace set too, I don’t want to ask my UK-based friend for a favour again.

Yay, WIP Wednesday! Although it is already Thursday in my time zone. This pic was taken yesterday, but then I got distracted and didn’t post it.
Anyway, here it is, my late-summer top. There has been some progress, and alas, I just joined my last ball of yarn. It looks like it’s gonna be a very cropped top, so I’d better start unravelling some swatches. (Did I lose a ball? Did I buy the wrong number? It’s a mystery…)

And since we’re nerding it: They could have gone the extra step to use the same metal for insert and screw. But as long as I don’t bathe my interchangeables in salt water, we should be safe from galvanic corrosion.

That’s knit-picking, you say? (I couldn’t help it, sorry)
