hi friends, I need some opinions on what pattern to knit with some yarn i bought from someone's destash.

i have 2 patterns I'm flipflopping between, ive knit both of them before but want to re-knit them: one is Truuduse by Aleks Byrd, and the other is Hibernal Socks by Summer Lee. I want to re-knit the Truuduse socks cuz the first pair I knit ended up slightly too small, and i want to re-knit the Hibernal socks cuz the first pair i knit went thru the wash & shrank.

Heres the yarn:

Here's what the socks look like: left image is of hibernal socks, right image is of truuduse:

thaaaanks!

Wish I had the same approach to life as I have with knitting/crochet

Like I know I'm going to make mistakes that's inevitable, I don't care about that, it's about finding creative fixes

Or I'm going to try this thing I have never done before, just because it's a skill I want to learn and I trust myself enough to be able to pick it up

Or this didn't work out the way I wanted it to, oh well, next time I'm going to do a few things differently and see how that changes things

Life tip:

Doing fiber arts in a library may attract the librarians to you. This will be a positive interaction.

I knitted a sweater (following this pattern with minor tweaks)! My partner has described my personal style as 'looking like i crawled out from under a wet log' (affectionate) - so i think this will fit in with the rest of my wardrobe.

Even though this is a super simple sweater, I loved knitting it and was entranced by every stage of the process. A few weeks ago it was balls of yarn - and now it is a 3 dimensional article which I am wearing as I type.

Process pictures below.

Whilst making this, my mind turned quite naturally to what I will make next. A cardigan, perhaps... and then I got thinking that I could maybe make my own wooden buttons or toggles.

I had to investigate the tangent, and ended up with a rough-and-ready proof of concept.

I've been doing so much cross stitching lately which is worrying because I KNOW I didn't buy enough floss for this project 💀
