April socks done!

I had to take a week off knitting, and the two weeks around that week I barely knitted, since I have this weird radiating pain from the outside of my shoulders. I still managed to finish these though! And I'm very happy with them. I don't know what yarn this is, as it’s the oldest sock yarn I had in my stash (hence why I chose to knit with it now). Still the same pattern as Februari and March, and the same as May will be (which I just started on! Handdyed yarn!)

Thank you and see you on the next update!

I need a little advice from the knitting community on here about how to proceed with my jumper.

The vision was to knit a black jumper with different coloured stripes in green, yellow and blue using leftover yarn from socks I knitted previously.

When knitting the blue stripe I realised that the blue colour wasn't contrasting enough with the black to really pop. All three sock yarns have a nice little gradient going which looks really nice for green and yellow but the blue yarn has some really dark bits in it that don't contrast much against the black. So I undid it and used some red yarn that I had left over. Unfortunately this doesn't have a gradient, so I am not convinced it really works. I am a bit torn about what to do now.

The finished fall Stardew Valley socks

I learned a lot from this project and while I still had a few issues with tension I feel a lot more confident with colourwork.

So many hours it took me to complete the newly invented double knit twisted rib bind off on this cowl! The bind off was developed for me by a member of one of my fibre communities and they did such a fantastic job as it is stretchy and completely matches the invisible cast on. I put it over a pool noodle raft to block so it will dry nice & smooth all the way around.

Every year for their birthday I let my kids pick whatever they want for me to make, no limits. This year my oldest is turning 7 and asked for a new rainbow sweater to replace the one he outgrew, and also that his bestie Bubbles the (Stuffed) Robot have his own matching sweater. I couldn’t find buttons I liked in the right size, so I designed and 3D printed some, which turned out to be perfect because then I could also print tiny versions for the little sweater.

So here is Bubbles modeling his brand-new sweater, and the big kid version which will be gifted tomorrow ☺️.

(ETA the very happy birthday kid 🥰)

I took my frog to the library with me for my craft group, the women loved him and one kept putting flowers on his head, now I need to make him some flowers to wear!
