I’m gonna start a thread of things I knit. Just finished these cute cable and lace socks.
I loved knitting the hat above and they discontinued the yarn so I bought a skein for a baby hat for my friend due this fall. adult hat for scale. baby knits are so cute https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😫" title="Tired face" aria-label="Emoji: Tired face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😫" title="Tired face" aria-label="Emoji: Tired face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😫" title="Tired face" aria-label="Emoji: Tired face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">
fair isle cardigan for the same baby that’s getting the hat in the tweet above. I’m obsessed with how cute this knit up https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😍" title="Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes">! and the colors are pretty unisex so if they have a boy in a few years it can be passed down https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☺️" title="Smiling face" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face">
winding all your skeins up is a knitter’s least favorite chore. good to do while you’re watching football, though.
pink: scarf for me!
white & blues: baby blanket
tan: not sure yet! it’s 100% sooofffttt merino so maybe a luxurious hat as a gift?
baby blanket! the mom saw the blanket further up and was doing 3/5 of the colors in her nursery so it was easy to make her a similar one. delivered last weekend and met her newborn!
my first fair isle sweater—a LOT of work to do on colorwork tension but for my first one I’m pleased. I finished it early this year but just weaved in the ends because now it’s cold enough to wear.
wound FOURTEEN skeins today that will eventually be a fabled sweater. obsessed with this colorway https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😍" title="Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎄" title="Christmas tree" aria-label="Emoji: Christmas tree">
cabled hat for one of my best twitter friends, @Melissybk!
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧦" title="Socks" aria-label="Emoji: Socks"> for a dear friend who lives in NYC. they’d be perfect for right now but unsure when I’ll be able to mail them to her https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">
I knitted the same hat for a good friend and a Twitter good friend. It’s two posts back in this thread. Finished up the matching scarf for the first one and liked the knit so the second friend is probably also getting a matching scarf later this year! love how this turned out https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥰" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts">
