Haven’t really been knittingposting much so here’s some projects (one FO plus the stuff that’s actually getting knitted on, we won’t look at the stuff that needs miscellaneous other things).

That is a 8ft9in (267ish cm?) scarf, in mistake rib, that is DONE. I’ve been working on it (among other things) since September 2021, haha. It’s that long because the recipient is tall and wanted a proper wrap-around capable scarf. And it’s in an alpaca-wool blend that uses alpaca from some farms a town over!

These three are active:

- a sweater that’s based on the Ombrella pattern (by yarnflakes) but using some of the cables from the Ponderosa Sweater (by wool and pine) plus some staghorn cables. I think I’ve just finished a sleeve but I need to try it on again and reconsider, since it’s kind of loose in the upper arm in a way I’m not sure how I feel about. I’m using Holst Supersoft held with a brushed alpaca that I forget the name of, and it’s making *such* a nice fabric.

- a cardigan for spouse, mostly following the Hidden Light pattern but I’m going to mod the collar because according to other people’s project notes it sucks, lol. Also I already found an error in the stitch counts so that’s.. fun? This is Plymouth Homestead yarn and it’s been nice to work with.

- sweater surgery wheee: I’ve never really liked the neckline on this top (the pattern is perfectly fine, the rest of the fit is great, I’m just nitpicky and it requires negative ease in a particular spot to be the shape it’s meant to be, and it just.. isn’t). So I’ve unpicked a row, ripped back the top part that contains the neckline, mathed out how to get a v-neck between the starting and ending stitch counts, and am almost done knitting that part. After which I’ll have a really long graft.. pray for my soul. It’ll be so great once it’s done, lol.

I’ve also ripped out a different sweater that wasn’t going to fit right because of… my own damn gauge, that I knew was off, and then just.. didn’t compensate for? I know better but here we are. Oh well. Will make something else with that yarn, but probably a couple of other things are further up the queue.

Yesterday was a good post day! I needed new needles for my current knitting project and popped into my basket this @rubystarsociety Purl fabric. I want to make a needle roll for my knitting needles, but should I have gone with the Shell colourway for the inside fabric, rather than the Florida? Edited to turn off the insta filter as it changed the colour of the fabric 🙄🙄 #knittersofinstagram #knittingpost #woolwarehouse #rubystarsociety #knittingfabric https://www.instagram.com/p/CSQ-ttWocVF/?utm_medium=tumblr
