Working on a new skirt pattern. I'm still not a 100% happy, but that is why we make (wearable) mock-ups.

knitting tutorial made by a twenty-something knitting influencer: 18 min long, 12 of those minutes being the intro and a sponsor plug, they show the first few steps of the tutorial at the slowest speed known to man, they show the most important steps at a neck-break speed, they stop every five seconds to talk about what they just did, 40,000 comments filled with questions ranging from insightful to “how do i knit”, filmed with a camera that costs more than a car, the tutorial is incorrect.

knitting tutorial made by a seventy-something grandmother: two min long, filmed 17 years ago, shows you what you want with the skilled patient hands of a beloved deity, made with the world’s shittiest camera, the best video on the fucking internet, four comments and 30 views, you lose the video and never find it again.

The body is halfway done now, but it will be quite a long project, i think...

The colours show up black and white, but actually they are dark blue and mint.

First time i'm knitting a colourwork jumper. It is very slow process, but i like the pattern. Some floats are too tight and some are too loose...but i'm getting the hang of it ( i think).

I'm participating in the 2024 Stretching MAL by @creationsbyvalorie from A Visit with Nana and Papa podcast over on Youtube.

It is a great way to try out new (and scary) things!

Hey sock babes

I just made a free "tv knitting" level sock pattern compilation. My genius plan is to knit down the list in 2024, marking them as done as I go.

But since it is the season of Yule, Christmas, and general gift giving,

If you would also like 32 sock patterns to go ham on (without spending 2 hrs of work finding patterns) here's the Google Drive.

Merry met, my friends!

For reasons explained elsewhere, I created a "software" (big quotation mark here) to make grids and color them. I made it for knitting, but I think it could be useful for other things (like crochet, cross stitching, tile work, etc). It is very rudimentary, but it fulfills its purpose (on PCs, on mobiles you can't save what you create).

You can play with it here.

You can see the charts I made while testing it below the cut. It's a long post and very image-heavy. You've been warned.

(Also, if you use any of them, or even the tool , will you tag me and show me?)

The designs I created while testing this thing

Lettering (cuz it's useful)

2. Kitty & Puppy

3. Anatomical hearts

4. hehehehe

5. A modern version of the sweater from the shining

6. the thing that started it all

Interested in cool cable knitting patterns?

I've made a site where you can make your own

I learned to knit a while ago specifically to make cool braid patterns with cable knitting and I'm also a web developer

So I made this

You can make a braid and it will create a cable knitting pattern out of it

It starts with this here, you can change the size with the inputs above and when you hover over crossings you can click and it will change how it crosses (right over left, left over right, or parallel)

Every time you do it updates this pattern down here that you can follow to knit that braid

There are notes and abbreviations listed on the site for the specifics

Please tag me if you make things with this I'm so proud of it :)

Oh hey, do you know what time it is? It is highly specific resource time!

Today we have the Royal School of Needlework Stitch Bank! There are HUNDREDS of stitch types in the RSN Stitch Bank.

And more added regularly, let’s look at a recent addition

I picked the first one in the 25 recently added Elizabethan stitches, the Elizabethan French Stitch

The stitch bank provides written and photo tutorials as well as a video option to learn to do it yourself. There are examples of the stitch in use, resources, references, everything but a needle and thread!
