(K)Nick(y) (K)nitsI'll be real, I make a lot of queer stuff. 🩵🩷🤍<br> <br> I made this all the way back in like June, and I think it's still one of my favourite makes - it brings me joy every time I look at my bedroom door!<br> <br> The pattern/chart is by Indigochilduk, and I originally bought it because I wanted to give tapestry crochet a go. After spending a whole evening on it, I was still finding it super hard - mostly I was having difficulties figuring out how to coordinate my hands between multiple balls of yarn, and idk if that's because I probably have dyspraxia or if it's something everyone really struggles with when they're new to tapestry crochet? <br> <br> In any case, at a certain point I realised I wasn't actually enjoying myself anymore so I stopped. But by that point I was REALLY hyped about the pattern so I decided to knit it instead! <br> <br> Ended up doing it as a double knit - purely because I love the texture of double knits and hadn't made one in years!<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/transpride?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transpride</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/transrights?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transrights</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/transknitters?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transknitters</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/queerknitters?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerknitters</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/queermakers?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queermakers</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/knittingaddict?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knittingaddict</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/doubleknitting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doubleknitting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/knitart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/indigochilduk?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indigochilduk</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/knitting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fibrearts?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fibrearts</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/wallhanging?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wallhanging</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/transartist?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transartist</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/transart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transart</a>
Rebecca Banner<p>Double knitting blanket squares have been on hold over the summer. Picked them up again after ending my finish and frog along projects and panicked that I couldn't remember how to knit them. I'm sure I must have written it down somewhere! Turns out that once I got started it all came back to me. I did then write down the instructions for future me!<br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knitting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/doubleknitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>doubleknitting</span></a></p>
Pi Fisher<p>I designed the pattern for the final round of this year's <a href="https://kind.social/tags/SockMadness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SockMadness</span></a>, which began today at 8 AM Eastern Time. Happy to see the reactions from competitors, especially the people who frogged and restarted multiple times and are still persevering!</p><p>It's double-knitting plus intarsia in the round.
