This is what procrastination looks like today!
I bought new frames for these one-of-a-kind art pieces over a year ago!

Scraps Sweater nr. 4 before (pics 1&2) the transplant and after (3&4) See what I did there?

The brainless regulating socks progress!

I got this far while waiting for my turn to get my blood drawn (just a check up, everything was as should! 💪🏻) Another lady was knitting a variegated sweater when I first arrived 🧶💞

✨POV: Sometimes you need a brainless project to balance out all the swirly cables you're so obsessed with! 🌀

These are going to be just your average, every day socks with a small, cable knit stripes on the edge of the foot. Nothing too fancy!

There I was, late in the evening, with my screen glowing and my Lego Sanctum Sanctorum and Arkham Asylum standing guard behind the laptop. On the left: the test knitters’ chat room for I Dream in Cables, full of sharp eyes and honest feedback. On the rig… https://t.co/557c7pKpZA

Finally! The sleeves are on my Green Scraps sweater — third time’s the charm 🥳

First attempt: sleeve on inside out 😅 Second attempt: mysteriously had way too many stitches… Third try: we have lift-off!

I FINALLY DID IT!

Just took me a week. There was so many more interesting things to do, like washing clothes, doing the dishes, vacuuming...
Only when I was forced to sit down with nothing else was I able to finish this tedious job!

Four sock patterns. Four yarn pairings. 🧶💘

I always love matching yarn to a pattern personality — sometimes the perfect skein completely transforms the mood of a design.

These are yarns I’d happily cast on with right now for:
• Lorelei
• Sandstorm … https://t.co/iZ9ptQyV3p

“Our Sea” sweater is nearly finished, and today we’re having a little **topping-out ceremony** — or as we say in Finnish, **harjannostajaiset** ✨

✨Gateway slippers!

For the longest time I've wanted to design a small swirly cable project that would be
low effort
low investment and
low threshold to try out this kind of cable knitting projects that I do 🌀 A gateway project, if you will.

So close to finishing now!

I absolutely LOVE doing the decreases for the swirly cables! The last round I decreased 80 stitches! The rounds just get shorter and faster! So much about 'slow knitting' and the 'journey, not the destination'.

🌊Our Sea sweater is back from time out! I had to rip back quite a lot because I wasn't happy with the yoke.

Started to knit the yarn from the last post in the car today💜🩷💙Looks kinda cool, but kinda bad at the same time! The colors look amazing, electric blue, bright pink, deep purple...

🌞 Have you tried sun-dyeing?
Sun‑dyeing wool is basically letting the sun do the alchemy for you — jar, water, acid dye, yarn, sunlight. That’s it. Slow heat, soft variegation, zero fuss. A tiny solar cauldron on your windowsill.
