Knitting 🧶 (also crocheting and etc)

Yeah! The blue and brown vest is by them.

My gauge was off but in a way that i wanted it to be (i wanted bigger and fewer squares and it just worked out that way accidentally). My size was perfect but all through fluke :sweat_smile:

Love the colours so much (though you cant notice the two oranges unless close up)

I looooove this! Is it from a pattern?

Yeah! I am absolutely flummoxed by joining in the round though so i had to do some sort of darting to fix my growing seam but apart from joining it was super easy and quick.

It’s this one

So, in time honoured tradition I disregarded my poll. Not immediately, just I kept twisting up the chains on the vest and need a good chunk of time to concentrate on practicing it in one go that hasn’t presented it yet.

Ended up starting the hoodie sleeves. I don’t think I’ll have enough yarn to do full sleeves with my fist colour. I could leave it short sleeve, but if I go for long sleeve I’ll need to add a bit more. My miniskein buying habit might sort me out here - initial yarn has a bit of sparkle in it and so do these colours. I think maybe those three as mid-sleeve stripes could be quite cool potentially? Or would it be better down? Or different colours? I’m really bad at colours I literally can’t tell the difference bwtween orange andnred half the time for exaample. So opinions gratefully recieved

That purple looks lush! They all do though.

Bluey cardigan for my nephew :star_struck:

I’m going for a stripe of each of those three in the middle. Was tempted to leave it short sleeve but probably wouldn’t have as much use for that.

Hoped I might have it done for going out Saturday but don’t think I’ll make it in time :pensive:

Yes, nice shout. Aw, can’t wait to see when you do manage to finish it. It looks lovely so far

Making a little crop top but didnt realise the back would just be so…

I like it but my boobs aint so sure. Dont want to fill the entire back out (as I’m out of that yarn anyway) but just make it enough to cover a bra. Hmmm, not sure how to approach it though. Maybe chain across and build up from there

That would be my strategy. Unless there’s anything in your wardrobe that would be good for layering with it underneath?

Finally found where I packed this vintage knitting book I bought last year

This was the pattern I bought the book for - saw someone on instagram wearing a purple and blue version. Haven’t made it yet

A few more. I love the snake round the neck one but fear it may be too mad even for me
