Wearing my granddad's vest top that my granny knit for him about 70 years ago. It's so pretty and I can't believe it fits! #knitting #fairIsleKnitting #KnittersOfMastodon #knittingHistory
March finished in the Secret-Stash-Busting sock along, just waiting till I get my new blockers...lol.
No pattern used. I just added a few cables.
Yarn is Wollbiene - Crazy Cotton, these will be bed socks for winter. Never used it before, not sure I like it.

Mom has requested a little over jacket as she does not like her upper arms. She likes this. For the most part. Longer. Really easy. Lacy. Fairly easy. It's been a minute since I worked with dk weight yarn so would appreciate recommendations. She wants black. I would need US shipping. I don't want to break the bank but would like natural fibers. #knitting #knittersOfMastodon
Motoring on with Noss from Yuco Sakamoto's amazing pattern book My Fair Isle Journey. This is such a beautiful pattern and I'm loving my colour choices for it, especially as I was just trying to use stash rather than buy more yarn.
Finished the cable knit hat for my Grandma-in-law. Last time we visited she mentioned not having a warm hat and being worried about having to leave the house to go to hospital for any reason.
She's a former knitter who's now nearly blind so I thought a cable would be a good pattern so she can feel it, rather than colourwork she wouldn't really be able to see.
I hope it brings her some joy because she's not having a good time of it these days.
My mom's blanket is DONE!! I really enjoyed designing this project and most of the knitting. But the garter just got pretty boring and I was racing to finish it so I could work on something new. I ended up buying two more skeins of yarn so that it has five stripes. #knitting #knittersofmastodon
When everything sucks - make socks

Made a zip up the back baby sweater and remembered why I love it so much for wriggly babies and also what a fun pattern it is to knit. #knitting #knittersofmastodon #babyknitting
For those people who don't have instagram here are the details.
The Secret Stash-busting Sock-a-Long is starting in January 2025! Organised by 111Windmills.
The idea is to pick sock yarns or sock sets from your stash, wrap them up so each one is a secret and then randomly pick one of your secret yarns each month for a new sock cast on! You can pair them with the patterns of your choice!
The Sock-a-Long will happen on Instagram and on the free Discord channel (link below). The thread is already up and running with people sharing and chatting all things socks!!
You can pick as many yarns as you like from your stash (or shop new yarns)
To get started, pick the sock sets or sock yarn, and wrap each one separately. You can do the same with your knitting patterns if you like!
Each month (or at whatever time frame you think you can manage) pick out your next sock set and pattern and knit through them all while sharing and supporting fellow knitters!
OPTIONS:
- bundle the yarns SEPARATELY from the patterns, and get a mystery pattern/yarn combo
- bundle the yarns TOGETHER with your chosen pattern for that yarn
- wrap the yarns ONLY, and select the pattern at the time of getting your mystery yarn
- any other combo you prefer

Finished this beautiful cardigan after a year of sometimes knitting sometimes sitting in a basket. Yarn is #bienaimee and pattern is #telegrammesweater #knitting #knittersofmastodon #memade
Hi there! Finally made the leap to Mastodon! I'm a cruise line concierge who spends my days plotting amazing port adventures for guests (dream job, right?) and my evenings either tangled up in knitting projects or curled up with my pups watching old Bette Davis films.
*waves in nervous newcomer*
My other finished object took me next to no time from cast on to bind off. This is the Elise Scarf by Susanne Müller https://ravel.me/elise-scarf-4 I held two leftover yarns double throughout and I still have some left over

Really happy with this FO. And yes, those things do sparkle, courtesy of yarn I got from China. I held the yarn double to achieve fingering weight. The pattern is Lyra Tee by Irene Lin. https://ravel.me/lyra-tee-2

My sweater smelled really sheep-y during rain-filled days. Come to think of it, the two times that I wore it, water from the skies poured like mad. The wool must be a rain magnet, hahaha.
