UPCOMING THEMES
TBA!
It's September and my summer top is done, which means one thing: My longtime WIP (once frogged, now being re-knitted) is out of the drawer and ready to cover everything in red hair!
Unfortunately, it also means that I'm using my old basic circulars again because I superstitious and afraid of changing needles mid-project). Significantly lesser knitting experience compared to my beloved Reflections.
This looks so soft and squishy
That colour is everything to me ๐งก Better luck with it this time!
My contribution to WIP day is progress on my snuggly green Justyna Jumper. It'd been sitting for a while (because sleeves) but the #FallFinishAlong over on Mastodon really has my arse in gear.
One sleeve finished, the other immediately picked up and started so I didn't lose steam. Making good progress now. And shoutout to @Flughoernchen@feddit.de because that much simpler elastic bind-off you put me onto recently has been a gamechanger for the cuffs ๐
It sounds like you'll have it on time for winter - and it looks so warm! Love the saturated green!
If all my clothes weren't black, they'd definitely be green as a second choice ๐
Managed another two whole sleeve rounds last night after posting this too so you know, totes storming along...
Totally know what you mean. My clothes are mostly plain black/brown/grey because these colours are a safe bet for me. I'm weary of taking a colour risk when I'll put so much time and effort in making a garment..."Luckily", knitting with black yarn is such a pain in the eye that I'm forced to pick a colour :)
Hah, yup, I ended up having to set a strict colour palette for myself because otherwise I was just picking weird bright colours at random that were fun to knit or sew or whatever, but that I never wore! Just not a colourful person deep down, I guess.
(my palette is like, black, dark green, dark blue, purple etc...embracing my inner witch)
