After about five months, I picked up my Neon shawl again to finally knit the edge. If everything goes well, I "only" have 19 more tips to knit in each color ... Now I really hope that a) I got my numbers right and b) that there is enough of the pink yarn left to finish the piece. . #knitters #knitting #knit #knittingandsoon #knittingaddict #instaknit #knittersofravelry #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofinstagram #nevernotknitting #tricot #instatricot #loveknitting #knitlove #stricken #instastrick #strikning #breien #örgü #iamarealknitter #strikking #yarnlove #ravelrydesigner #編み物 #knitstagram #tejido https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-YXdUIEJd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I did a thing! I was sick of finding cute knitting shirts only to have them not go up to my size, so I made my own. More designs coming soon.

Does anyone else ever need a pacer project? I’ve been working away on my #jennyjacket but I just wanted a new winter hat. Found some #lionsbrand in my stash and cast on a #barleyhat. Even if I’m not working on the Jenny Jacket it helps to work on something. ___________ [Image Description: Two projects are viable from overhead. One is a soft orange sweater.

💗 Just finished 💗

No pattern as it was entirely experimental: a learning experience. But 1) it's super-light and the snuggliest thing I've ever knitted (in sock yarn, held with kid silk) 2) it will be the first of many 😘 so watch this space. Bottom up, in the round, 2 yarns knitted together. Back to my million-and-one WIPs 😂

Never not knitting

The yarn goes ever on. I like where it’s leading me.

2 - Perseverance, small steps and a new FO

Hi hello,

Honestly, I was hoping to be able to write something sooner but I have not been in the right frame of mind to do so. For a while I’ve been feeling like I’ve been trapped by my circumstances, these things had been lowering me down to somewhere I didn’t want to be until last week the string that had been dangling me snapped and I hit a real low. I was left alone with my thoughts, for a week my mind spiralled until it reached a point where my body was shaking from lack of food and the stress I was under. This went on until the week passed and I realised that I could break out of this even if it means this pain lasts a little while longer, it would be worth it just to get out of this box I’m in and to be able to reach my full potential, or to at least figure out what that potential may be. 

Before this hellish week had begun where I accomplished nothing I did at least finish something that I had been working on for a little while - my Elisabeth Blouse by the wonderful Petite Knit. One night I stayed up until the early hours of the morning and finally bound off my last sleeve in a rosé fuelled knitting marathon only to wake up hours later to sit and weave in all the loose ends whilst sat in bed watching Next in Fashion (if you have been watching please let me know your thoughts and who your winner is/was).

I had been looking forward to knitting this pattern before it was even released- it was such a beautiful basic and I didn’t have anything like it in my wardrobe. Before my yarn had even arrived I was already thinking of potential outfits. I had spent hours pondering yarn choices and colour options and crossed my fingers that I had made the right choice. I had opted for Filcolana Pernilla as this is one of the yarn options the pattern suggests and is actually also the cheapest (I’m from the UK and ordered from KNiTT). 

Admittedly, this was my first time knitting a collar which I was a little nervous about and now looking at the FO I know it could have been a little neater, but for my first attempt I don’t think it’s too bad! Something else I noticed about this project was that my gauge seemed to be a little iffy meaning my stitches didn’t look as neat as I would have preferred. However, blocking totally worked its magic and evened everything out so much. I’m not exaggerating when I say that Filcolana Pernilla blocks beautifully. It also dried so quickly, which of course is an added perk as it just meant I got to wear my Elisabeth Blouse sooner. 

Now, let’s talk about the fit. Before blocking, I had my concerns. After blocking, I was in love. The length of the sleeves and the body are just right. The cut of the neckline isn’t too low that I would be self conscious or constantly trying to move or adjust it. 

The fabric is lightweight and ideal for layering making it a great transitional piece, although I was genuinely surprised by how warm a fabric the Filcolana Pernilla made. I’m also really happy with my colour choice and think it will work all year around (perhaps not the height of summer however haha, although with British weather you never know). 

I got weirdly emotional when I did finally finish my Elisabeth Blouse and then wearing it for the first time. There had been a few points where I just felt like giving up on it- I was so up in my head about stuff that I had going on that I was struggling to find the motivation to continue. However, I pushed through and the sense of accomplishment from having done so was definitely worth it- being able to take a second to acknowledge all the time and effort I had put into creating something by hand. 

This will act as a reminder to persevere and of what I am capable of when I do so. 

Also, in between writing this I had a telephone consultation to discuss my endo symptoms and treatment and was told that I could potentially be placed on a waiting list for surgery to help treat my endo pain. I had felt like I was getting nowhere with my treatment or being taken seriously so this definitely feels like a small win and hopefully a step in the right direction. 

It might only be a small step but it’s another step forward.
