🧶🧶🧶 Ye Olde Stack 'O Swatches. Amazing how each one holds a memory. And, can see how my swatching in particular and knitting in general have improved.

Reflecting - This art/craft of ours is blessedly diverse. Some days I want to knit all the things. Other days it's sorting scraps, a match for the spoons I have.

I feel so blessed to have the chance to begin again with fiber arts. <gratitude>

🧶🧶🧶 Getting a whole lot of knitting prep done today! Swatched for the Ivy Scarf in Giselle, color Cloud.

The four holes at the bottom are a little hard to read, should have put more stockinette rows before beginning lace. Supposed to indicate US4 (four yo + k2 holes). Live and learn.

This one is for a CNA eg medical aide named Marietta here in the nursing home, who always goes the extra mile.

🧶🧶🧶 Here is link for Romi Hill's 2025 MKAL, a triangular shawl. Kicks off May 23rd, so plenty of time to prepare.

Romi's MKALs are great! Pattern has a theme, clever new technique, weekly in-depth #YouTube, robust forum. She offers a pay-as-you-can purchase model. Annually, a lot of people participate.

I'm all in, swatched and ready to go. Consider joining me!

🧶🧶🧶 Hiya Kniterati, what do we think of this knitting? Would love some feedback on my yarn choice. It will be a balaclava-hood, called the Harris Hood.

Two strands of Rowan Fine Art variegated in pink-coral, and one strand of pink cashmere.

Also here is a picture of the woman it is for, and of the pattern. She wanted a bright color. Am I on the right path with this?

🎬 Das Fiber Life Festival fand Ende März auf der ikonischen Tianmu Plaza in 杭州 statt. Das Festival drehte sich um FIBER. Also ganz klassisch um Wolle, Garne, Stoffe, Spinnen, Weben ... aber auch um Themen wie Recycling, Kunst und Life-Balance.

Doch auch um Textilien als Metapher für das Miteinander-Verwoben-Sein und eine Gemeinschaft von Gleichgesinnten.

🧶🧶🧶 It's here! Rosemary (Romi) Hill's latest MKAL, "Funston." Want to join me?

I've done her last two - very rewarding, highly wearable shawls. Each MKAL has a philosophical theme and includes new techniques and/or construction. There are weekly how-to videos, moderated forums, kits, and more. Pay what you can model.

I'm all in, kicks off in May. Hop on in!

🧶🧶🧶 Here's a knitting math geek-out from Norman of NimbleNeedles on #YouTube...

I always learn so much from Norman. Here he takes a deep dive into stitch and row gauge. He maths A LOT. If you are math-phobic, Norman makes it clear, step-by-step. His thinking changes the role of getting gauge - the swatch is still important, but not everything. So interesting!

🧶🧶🧶 Needed a knitting palette cleanser, so knocked out this new pattern - The Emotional Support Little Chickie, a pocket-sized comfort fowl.

Mistakes were made. And that's OK... at least the safety eyes are kinda even. Now that I know the ropes, I think I might make several to surprise-gift to people here at the nursing home.

The child-like instant joy it brings to others is everything!

🧶🧶🧶 Yay! The Mom Crème Anglaise sweater is at last done, delivered and mom-approved!

I learned so much making this. Lots of frogging back, switching yarns, switching patterns also. Settled on Valley Yarns Charlemont fingering and Cascade Baby Alpaca lace held together - dream combo. I love how the silk helps give the other fibers and the garment structure. Hooray, a #FO!
