(I work at a craft store.) Today a customer spent $$$ on assorted materials. When her friend said "what will you make?" she said "oh, I have no idea. I just collect materials and maybe an idea will come to me!" Which I find frankly aspirational but my better half went quite pale when I told him. 😂

REALLY IMPORTANT THREAD.

#ShowMeYourKnits #WWKIPD 🧶 I worked on my Resplendence Shawl while we waited for Chana masala 🍛. The waiter thinks I'm eccentric. 😂 he's not wrong

#ShowMeYourKnits STRIPES! My favorite thing! 🖤🩶🖤🩶🖤

Gasp!!! Friends of Blähaj ASSEMBLE!

Your "there are still good things in the world" reminder for the day. I especially enjoy the man in his slippers fetching coffee. ☕️

#ShowMeYourKnits Hello, Yellow! I have done loads of charity hats with yellow stripes, and a bunch of Peace Pals with yellow shirts, but all I have pics of are my recently finished Honeycomb Socks, a Knit the Rainbow Hat, a Yellowstone Hat and an ill-fated square from my Hue Shift! 😱😂💛🧶 #knitting

Today was HARD. Tomorrow has got to be better. Please. 😣

Tried a new needle and... immediately no. Nope. That's a big no from me. Haaaaaate it. But at least I tried something new? (Deets in alt) 😆 🧦 🧶 #knitting

This week I've spent my evenings mending. AFTER taking in 4 pairs of pants, fixing tiny holes in 3+ shirts, & sewing new squeakers into dog toys, today I finally found my seam ripper & thimble! I am delighted to see them & only slightly bitter about that waistband I picked out with embroidery ✂️ 🥲🪡🧵

Team Dammit, Janet. 😉 👄

I SAW A MOTH!!!!! Cedar chunks being even more intensively distributed among the stash(es) and wardrobes and I've ordered traps but oh my god! I cannot have moths!!!!!!!!!! 🧶 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 #knittingapocalypse #knitting

🧶 #knit 😂🤣

Hard to believe, but this cabled jumper pattern is free!🧶😍 #knitsky

Blackout! 😒

#showmeyourknits I can finally wear these Honeycomb socks because I just ***finally*** finished the damned things!! I absolutely love them, but I don't ever want to work another tiny cable as long as I live. 🤣 🧶 🧦

#ShowMeYourKnits is a fun one, if you don't mind 50 pics of my feet. 🤣 Socks are my most made knit for myself, by about a factor of a million. 🧦 🧶

ARGHHHHHHHHH (screams of incoherent rage and the sounds of vicious off-screen stabbing with dpns) 🧶 #knitting #knittingbullshit

Tried to show you that I've started the ribbing and am FINALLY almost done with the first honeycomb sock, but Sunshine had other plans. 🧦 🧶 #knitting #corgisky #knittingsky

Super fun shape and free for a little bit! 🤩

This is... not great. I use a lot of Hobbii! KnitPicks saying "don't tag us in your Melt The Ice hats!" was a serious problem for me, so I need Hobbii to pick up the slack but this is seriously icky. ☹️☹️☹️ 🧶 #knitting #ARGH

#ShowMeYourKnits is Purple! 💜 I actually don't like purple- because of my trouble with seeing red, I can't really distinguish light purple from gray or dark purple from brown. 🤷‍♀️ So nearly all of my purple knits were for other people and I have almost no pics. 😂 🧶 #knitting

🤗🧶 #knit

The Priscilla bedsock is NOT COOPERATING (by which I mean not resembling a sock in any way) and I am out of patience. Into the Naughty Basket for Very Bad Knits it goes!!! (I like to imagine Jack Lemmon in The Great Race bellowing "You are BANISHED!" as he throws pies at these bad knits.) 🥧 🧶

This is lovely and it goes up to a 4x which makes it even lovelier! Size inclusivity is 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

The Hobbii sock wool sale ad clearly caught my eye on a payday... I'm *almost* ashamed of myself... but not quite. 🤣 Mostly I'm excited about this big batch of POTENTIAL! 🤩🧶

Knitting a bedsock pattern from 1912 which is delightful. Using acrylic scraps which are less delightful but still, (almost) always happy to be #knitting. Accidental outfit coordination, too! FASHUN. 😂🧶

All my knitting this week has been for/at work and I can't show any of it except this BSJ I've just started to test a new wool. I've got a few things I really need to finish this weekend but they're BORING AF so the pink baby sweater progresses instead. 🤣 🧶 #knitting

Very exciting mail day! Has anybody tried the new Addi yet? I'm struggling to wait to finish my current socks... must... cast... on... 😂 #knitting 🧶

At this point I really can't recommend that people buy crochet patterns on Etsy, because it's more AI slop than not. Here's the most recent rip-off of my pattern (mine in the first pic, ripoff in the rest). On "sale" for less than my pattern but who knows what you actually get 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🧶

Okay, I'll quit after this but MOAR SOCKS! 🤣 I have been knitting socks for a decade and they're my absolute fave, so I could do this all day. #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶🧦

#ShowMeYourKnits SOCK WEEK! 🧦 🧶 I ❤️ sock knitting above almost all other projects! Self striping yarn is my favorite, scrappy is 2nd place. I prefer toe up, and I love a short row heel.
