So I found out today that apparently my Insta posts haven’t been cross-posting for like MONTHS because now IFTTT has some sort of paid thing and my little ND brain missed the notification about that happening…

I will likely be sporadic but I’ll try and manually cross post!

It was a nice day today so I washed and put out to dry a couple of FOs and swatches that I completed in June.

Sat out on the deck in the sun to have my coffee and let my indoor kitty have some outside time

Darby and Joan

Talk about Darby and Joan! Have spent all day sitting by the fire knitting, while hubby snoozes in his chair!

The other side

This is the other side of knitting blankets for the homeless from scraps and left over yarn, hours of sorting, joining and winding!

Another pair of finished socks leftover from 2021 - I was playing yarn chicken on the second sock with the green and as you can probably see, I LOST 🐓 Thankfully I had another skein of yarn in my stash that was very close (just a bit darker) and I used the smallest little bit off of that skein to finish the sock. I’ve also just cast on my first pair of socks for 2022 (see pic 2) for the #LaMercerieYearOfSocks2022 .

Mended socks for a HIGHLY knit-worthy friend @jamie_gerry 💚 She’s worn them at least once a week since I knit them and they had worn COMPLETELY through on the heels - I didn’t have any of the matching yarn so I made the patches with a contrast colour #SockYarn #SockKnitter #SockKnitters #HandKnitSocks #Mending #Darning #AussieKnitters #AussieKnitter https://www.instagram.com/p/Cndc8VeJHTB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A completed pair of stash-busting CatSocks! I ran out of the lighter yarn just at the toe of sock 2, hence a purple tip.

Thank you again Mel @downunderdyer for running the AMAZING Cat-A-Long! I can’t believe I won this gorgeous package of kitty-themed things 😻 I’ve had the Cat Knits book on my wishlist since the day it came out, and was going to buy it for myself for Xmas… but Xmas came early 😸 #DownUnderDyerCatALong #KnittingLife #SockYarn #AussieKnitter #AussieKnitters #AussieYarnDyer https://www.instagram.com/p/CWjgtZHB9nx/?utm_medium=tumblr

I won at #YarnChicken! It was close, but apparently 2 skeins of yarn was the perfect amount for the white stripe of this blanket 😹 Completed photos to follow once I weave in ends and block it :) .
