My Josh sweater is done, just in time for the first anniversary of Challengers! I started planning it out in September so I’m very happy to have successfully completed it. Thank you, Luca Guadagnino, for always giving me a new hyperfixation

Progress update:

Finally to the fun part of my ridiculous intarsia project I’ve been planning for months! I’m very excited to see Josh’s handsome face take shape!

Sweater pattern is the Homefront Jumper by @squidneyknits, and the colorwork chart is my own design. I’m using yarn in three shades by Jamiesons of Shetland

Oops, I have a new hyperfixation and decided I need to design and knit a sweater about it.

Pretty sure I’ve finished the design (unless I decide to go back and fiddle with it some more); now I need to decide what pattern to use with it (long or short sleeve?)

I really want to swatch for it right now, but I’m waiting on a shade card so I can settle on colors, and then I have to order the yarn so it may be a bit before I can get started

Another test knit complete! The Royale pullover by @tashacouldmakethat is being released today, and it’s another winner! I love the basic body paired with the unique collar - so fun to knit and to wear! I knit mine in @the_lemonade_shop yarn and I was afraid it had too much pink in it for me, but the end result is a very fun, springy sweater! #knitting #testknit #royalepullover #handknitsweater (at Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqYC3DWr1WW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Lousy smarch weather… Before anyone without snow complains, note that it’s not just the snow, it’s the constant melt/refreeze which leaves everything coated in ice…the complete lack of any plowing in Saint Paul…and the fact that our trash and recycling pickup seems to have stopped completely until who knows when…I am so tired #minnesnowta #pleasemakeitstop (at Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpqFNtYJiQ_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In May I’m going on my dream vacation (@squidneyknits vintage knitting trip around England 😍) and today I met some of my fellow travelers on Zoom. Now I really can’t wait to go! One of my current projects is this fair isle cardigan which will definitely be coming on the trip with me (assuming I don’t mess up the steek 😅) The pattern is Margaret by @susancrawfordvintage I also managed to find the perfect beer to pair with it 🍺#knitting #fairisle #steekedcardigan #vintageknitting #craftbeer (at Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoRPx64NNxg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The “A Kindness of Ravens” pattern by @disyarning is available! I test knit it and can confirm it’s a very well put-together pattern. My sweater took me ✨forever✨(cables, color work, and fingering weight yarn do not a quick knit make) but I 💙the end result! It fits me perfectly and the yarn is very soft and cozy, though a bit slippery for the color work section. I used @jarbontextiles Paint by Numbers 4-ply which comes in a ton of shades; I would definitely use it again 🌜🌝🌛#knitting #handknitsweater #testknit #strandedknitting #corvids #finishedobject (at Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoEKT7QI33t/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A newly-finished, mega-time-consuming project! I started with the “That 70’s tee” pattern by @yarnandewe and added my own chart. I both love the end result, and am annoyed by how some of the detailing turned out. #knitting #intarsia #fandom #fandomknits #josephquinn #eddiemunson #strangerthings #fanart (at Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmCruc4JD6i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yes, I’m willing to look totally goofy as I humbly ask for donations. Salem the “bun-draiser” thinks you should give to my campaign so my colleagues and I can keep fighting to make sure everyone has access to a healthy environment.

Wearing my newly-finished #fortessepullover in this pastel witchy ensemble! The sweater isn’t blocked yet so the collar’s misbehaving, but I’m sure it will be ✨perfect✨once blocked.
