My wavy stripes stole is finished! Unblocked, the stole is about 160 cm / 63" long, I expect it will be nice and big after blocking

ah yes, that point in the #knitting project where you have to cast on a gazillion stitches

Neat last stitch

I have to say, this has never been a problem for me—most of what I make gets seamed, so the last stitch is usually hidden. But since I was asked, here’s a quick trick for a neat final stitch in knitting.

This is why you should unsubscribe from all newsletters, ESPECIALLY your favourite designers. Now I have to knit two fingering weight cardigans and my mum wants hers in black

Uh oh. Caitlin Hunter just dropped another pattern that I'd love to knit but wouldn't dare to wear, no matter how much I might be in the mood for serving fish

A reel of all the British Birds colourways. Those re-dyed for Spring into Wool are Robin, Blue Tit, Green Woodpecker, and Kingfisher. If you are hoping to see the bird or cat yarn at the show please stop by first thing as they are very popular just now. May I also suggest that you not put bird and cat yarn in the same bag?!? #mothyandthesquid #yarn #springintowool #knitting #crochet mothyandthesquid.com

I've got a new pattern out! Mystic Beach is a twisted stitch cowl with a Möbius twist, worked in madelinetosh Pashmina.

The pattern includes illustrated tutorials for the k2tog/ssk twisted stitch technique I used to make the stitches stand out, and for the crocheted provisional cast on. It also includes information about the yarn structure and choosing good substitute yarns.

Mystic Beach is available on Ravelry https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mystic-beach and Payhip https://payhip.com/b/uinzf

This was fun, he talks through the test and gives all the levels.

Just had a very relaxing meditative moment, sorting my yarn scraps by color and bagging up in a clean zip bag. These maintenance tasks of the craft can be so rewarding.

#FlashbackThursday Double increases aren’t as commonly used as basic single increases. Nevertheless, they absolutely have their place in the knitter’s toolkit. In this tutorial, I show you how to work the increase that consists of working (k1, yo, k1) all in the same stitch

Hmmm. My stitch gauge is a little off and I've already accounted for that in choosing a larger size. But my row gauge is way off - i.e. 30 in stead of 36 rows/10cm. Does anyone know how that happens? I see some math coming.

I was a Really Big Girl yesterday and managed to get a video published despite feeling awful.

So today is going to be #knitting, #speedpuzzling videos, and excessive amounts of tea. I'll pay for it with extra work later ofc, but it's needed right now.

The last few days was the "crippling depression, avoid everyone and everything and curl up into a ball and cry" phase of my post-social-event cycle, but as you can tell by the fact I'm tooting again the worst has now passed. Phew

Let's see if I can finish the second sleeve of my #TopperCardigan by the end of the weekend...

I have Great Tits. They’re a delightful garden bird, with a glossy black head, white cheeks, and a yellow breast with a distinctive black stripe running down the center. Their wings are blue with a white bar. On an unrelated note, I have perfectly acceptable mammaries. It seemed only right to complete the British Birds on 100% British Bluefaced Leicester with a classic colourway never before available on this yarn base. #mothyandthesquid #yarn #knitting #crochet mothyandthesquid.com

My motivational guide for today... Make at least something.
