Finished this sweater! This yarn had been in my stash forever
Itās a pretty bad picture lol
Cuteee!
Im not sure if i will have time to make anything for me that isnt testing or a pattern, but i finished a collar for a test
So cool! And ohhhh I see! Luckily that seems like an easy fix! Iām happy to hear your ribbing came out better this go around - always a gratifying feeling!
Itās not a bad picture! And way to go!!! Itās such a satisfying feeling to 1.) Finish a project and 2.) Use up that yarn thatās old enough to vote (joking ofc but ykwim)! Idk if planned or just what you were trying to use up, but the colors are awesome on this, btw!
Iāve def been there . The collar came out really well; Iām sure the designer was pleased!
Tysm! It wasnāt planned, but it worked out great!
I was working on trying to reduce the amount of acyclic dk yarn i have. Its not my favourite for making much of anything but i seem to have lots and the balls take up a lot of space. I started making a coin purse (whakeshark) but at the kast moment, as i was just about to sew in the ourse clasp, my daughter announced she actually wanted stuffing in it. Its jots neither a great whaleshark not a wearable
Luckily someone suggested i make a strawberry bag pattern so im doubling it up )so it pretends to be really thick yarn) and an rather naughty and using both ends of the ball at once!
So some updates with some bad and good news First hereās my first comment with my info all in the summary for those interested
Summary
Iāll be destashing from my: WIPs and Yarns
My goal(s): To finish the WIP and/or finish the skeins for this WIP
The WIP: A knit shawl , hereās the current photo from my WIP. Click here for pattern on YouTube
Yarn(s): Lion Brand - Boogie Nights in High Roller (3 skeins)
Iām still on the first skein. Itās hard to capture the color of the yarn, but it does feel soft, this yarn is solely for the WIP so hopefully itās the exact amount! Or at the very least whateverās leftover is enough to make something else
Needles: Using Susan Bates circular knitting needles US 11/8.0mm - 24 inch/61 cm
Iāll for sure update when I finish the shawl or at the end of the week, maybe when I finish a skein and show some progress to see how far along that skein went
So bad news: Iāve been a bit under the weather so I havenāt done as much as I would like and I actually spent almost the entire day trying to go through one of the skeins since it was a tangled, knotted mess I ended up having to cut some of the yarn and knot them back together since it was starting to get a bit thin with all the moving to untie it
The good news!! I actually thought I was on my 1st skein of three turns out it was actually my second skein! I just finished it so Iām on my third and last skein! I managed to untie all the knots and cake it up so while I will have to weave in the ends of the knots itāll be smooth sailing! And while it is a bit thinner (not much) it does mean itās a bit longer now too lol I also tested a pattern yesterday and finished one skein of unused chenille yarn that I planned to destash so thatās good! Since the wearable prompt ends tomorrow Iāll probably share the final photo at the end of the day, hopefully I can finish it today or tomorrow! Really want my knitting needles back lol
Also I love reading and seeing what everyone else is up too!
Welp, I spent my first week sick in bed and mostly asleep. Moving on to week 2, Iāll be making a basket out of some yarn in a color blend I like, but with a feel I detest lol
That looks so cute!
Thank you!
Just popping in to say that the second Iāve run through my stash of this horrid yarn I am NEVER buying Super Saver again lol
I know plenty of people like it, but it hits my sensory issue buttons like lightning.
i agree, itās texture is not the most appealing
Iām not a huge fan of the texture, but itās cheap and readily available to meā¦
yea same here
Sorry for the delayed responses, my friends. Iāve been unwell these last few days, but Iām going to try and respond to everyone, post the new theme, and spin for the winner in just a moment here. <3
(Edit: Looks like Iām not the only one who was under the weather this week; sending you all well wishes and hoping whatever ails you eases up soon. )
