Just in time for my co-workers baby shower this weekend, I finished this bunny lovey.

Yarn: Knit Picks Swish Bulky in squirrel Pattern: Bunny Blanket Buddy

I also finished hair scrunchie #13 for the year. I’ve been using my yarn scraps to make them, they take only 10g or so for each one.

Yarn: This one was some Cascade 220 in sunflower Pattern: Soho Scrunchie

Edit: markdown fixes

The first one was eaten by moths, and on the second, I realized that I had done every single wrong side decrease backwards after 221 rows.

This picture was taken when I finished chart 3/6, which puts it at 300/554 rows complete. This is easily the most complex lace pattern I've ever done. There are 18 total pages of charts (each one spans three pages), the ring lace background is garter, with no rest (knit/purl only) rows, and every single row is different.

Edit: Just realized I forgot to link the pattern.

(Left image is outside of glove, right image is it flipped inside out).

I know it's only 1 glove but this was my first project beyond a standard knit (which I now know is "garter" stitch) scarf with fringe.

I learned Right Side (RS), Wrong Side (WS), how to do a purl stitch and that alternating it with knit is called stockinette, and this was my first attempt at doing a "mattress" seam! Which you can see I struggled with, especially for the stockinette part, but I'm hoping I can do a better job on the next one, and I'm happy with how this lil glove came out overall for a first attempt! :)

If anyone does have tips/suggestions, or "tried and true" resources for learning how to do seams, I'd be grateful!

I used the pattern, yarn, and needles included with this kit: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1441750462/diy-fingerless-gloves-knitting-kit

My first colorwork project and second knitting project overall. They're far from perfect but I'm very happy with how this turned out!

Any other knitters make your own cable needles? I was using one that was just a touch oversized for these 00 sizes needles. I rifled through my electricians box and found some 14 gauge copper wire and shaped and sanded it to create a cable needle that I could use differently from each direction depending on the need.

I'm probably going to flip the direction of the dip on the shorter side but it's already working better than the one I was using.

Yarn is Caprino by Malabrigo in Pearl

I'll be doing two at a time on this pair so it's time to start the second sock. Hopefully before I finish I will know what I'm going to do with the rest of the sock beyond the cuff. What will the body pattern be? The heal type? The tow type? No idea. One phase at a time.

Yarn is Hue+Me by Lion Brand.

Yarn is Rasta by Malabrigo in Arco Iris

The person who gave me the yarn informed me it was silk and superwash Merino wool. Expression Fiber Arts, polar bear. This used less than 37 grams of the 114 so in theory there are two more bears in that skein.

I have made this bear at least 6 times in different sizes. This time I started thinking about what it might take to rewrite the pattern to knit more of it in the round and dramatically decrease the amount of seaming and weaving that is needed.

Yarn is Superwash merino worsted by Plymouth Yarns.

Slowly progressing with my cardigan. Pretty proud of my progress considering it’s a very busy time at work for me, which leaves me drained in the evenings.

I bound off the body tonight. Sleeves are next, which I like to do two at a time. Then the button bands (and finally choosing some buttons) and it’ll be finished! I’m debating what buttons would look best with this color. Wood? Black? Painted with flowers or birds or something? I’ll have to decide soon, and I’m open to ideas.

Pattern: Argo cardigan Yarn: Knit Picks Woodland in hot springs

I just finished a pair of socks but that project won't be truly done until I do some extra steps to make them truly unique.

I want to knit another pair of socks but on October 1st Inktober starts and I'll be spending between 1 and 4 hours a day drawing each day. But I still need a knitting project I can pick up and put down. Something I have made before.

I ended up with this fingering yarn that would make horrible socks but was too nice to leave my mind.

I have made the Debby Bliss Teddy Bear project at least 6 times. This time it will be a polar bear.

Tasslehoff is fine with me knitting as long as the yarn ball isn't directly in front of her. Then she has to hunt it.

Size 1.75 mm needles. Unknown yarn.

Two previous versions of this pattern I made into Cthulhu.
