My brain is tired today. I’ve decided knitting needles shall now be written as kneedles.

That will be all.

Socks I finished yesterday! I love this blue so much

Note: if minimum wage had kept up with productivity/inflation, it would be about $26. With that in mind, a pair of socks like this represents about $1,700 of labor.

Did you know? Sea turtles love to eat jellyfish 🐢😋❤️〜〜D

(Photo from @euginemay of the 2 turtle melon-pans she ordered from me! 😆💕)

Nearly all species of sea turtle are now classified as endangered. Unfortunately, sea turtles end up eating plastic bags and lost balloons because that rubbish looks like jellyfish too 🐢💀😱 don’t let that balloon go! 🎈 And hang on to your plastic bags 💪🏻.

I hope to be able to donate a portion of my sales of turtle melon-pans to help save sea turtles too…

I do other donations from some sales of my items which I don’t publicise. So your support actually means more than you think… 🙂

Does anyone know what kind of stitch this is, if it has a name? I can’t find it on google but when I search “heart stitch knitting” on youtube the first few videos show this stitch, and they’re usually in other languages.

These are the steps if it helps (or if you wanted to know how to do it)

Cast on with Even number of stitches. 

Row 1 : k1, *Knit with looping yarn two rounds around the right needle, Repeat from *, end k1. 

Row 2 : k1, * sl 2 stitches to right needle and then move back to the left, skip 1 st and knit into 2nd stitch and then knit the skipped stitch **, Repeat from * to **, end k1. 

Repeat Rows 1 – 2.

Here’s an almost finished chart 1 of the Evenstar Shawl I’m making as a devotional project to Thor. I’m debating doing the beaded edge in white beads or grey for the color of thunderclouds.

I’m loving the cable detail on my test knit of Knitatude’s Hot and Bothered Cable Dress pattern! It releases on her Etsy soon!

This database holds a ton of useful materials for embroidery! many different types of stitches in various difficulties, all incredibly useful!

I'm about to impart a piece of forbidden sock knitting wisdom. I learned this from my mom, who I think learned it from her mom, who in turn was a soft-spoken and resourceful refugee from Karelia.

You can fix holes by just going through them with a bit of yarn and a crochet needle. You know: you finish a heel turn, congratulate yourself as you start picking up the stitches, and then there's That Gap.

My advice: leave it be. Don't tink, don't pick up extra stitches, don't Google and/or sacrifice to the old gods. Leave it be, and once you finish just go through the area with some spare yarn. Loop through the loose stitches on the flip side, tighten, tie a knot. Ta-da. The gap is gone.

Or, in my mom's words: if no one can find your sins, they don't exist.
