You bet I swatched even for garter stitch #knitting #knittersofinstagram #perfectionist #notgauge #notgreyeither

After much indecision and procrastination, I finally finished the blanket for my tiny human this evening. #labouroflove #crochet #crochetersofinstagram #handmade

Was going to be a six months old present, then eight months, then nine months, then a first birthday, then a second Christmas. And now I’m playing yarn chicken just for fun 🤷🏻‍♀️ #crochet #icordfordays #blanketsforbabies #betterlatethannever

Finally started on a thing I’ve wanted to make my tiny human since before he was born. Hilariously it’s only taken yesterday’s long nap and this afternoon and is now ready for binding! #quilt #flyinggeese #flyinggeesequilt #handmadewithlove #travelquilt

One of the wedding anniversary mittens went on a multi day, multi rain storm, gravel based adventure. It was only by chance we found it again, but I don’t think it’s felted. Any suggestions on the best way to recover it? #handmade #woolfolkyarn #knittersproblems

Went away for a few days with my guys and took an unplanned break from the mindless scrolling. It felt good and I thought about giving social media away again (coming up on five years Facebook free... or is it six). But, for now, I think I’m just going to be more mindful abo…

I am one month and 231 rows into making this blanket. Each row has 286 stitches and there are 270 rows... today it has come to my attention that my calculations were wrong and I am five rows short of yarn. #crochet #rippingforjoy #startingover #shouldbedonebeforehesone #hand…

Apparently I’ve been channeling a pretty crummy curve ball into some frenzied crochet. This blanket is over a third done in a week. #crochet #blanketsforbabies #shouldbedonebeforehesone

After an irresponsible amount of procrastination and a nap’s worth of maths, I’m finally about to start blanket no. 11 .... but only after ordering an extra ball of yarn (crossing my fingers for a match between the dye lots). #crochet #blanketsforbabies #shouldbedonebeforehesone

This hat I made my tiny human has a habit of not moving with his head, resulting in the ear flaps sliding around to cover an eye. Whilst very comical, I’ve decided to add some ties to hold it in place. #knitting #knitsforbaby #handmadewithlove #warmears

When a quick visit to the studio yields just the right buttons. #knitting #handmade #imadethis #knitsforbaby

Knit, slip, purl. Purl, slip, knit. Flying through this cardigan I started on Friday. #knitting #babyknits #handmadewithlove

Reasons I’m a slow knitter #1: even after carefully swatching and measuring, I knit the wrong size. Pretty sure it would have been summer again by the time my tiny human fit this sweater (dress!). #knitting #knittersproblems #rippingforjoy

[Definitive in Grey @DefinitiveGrey]

By some sort of miracle I managed a two hour nap and a new cast-on today. #longweekendsdoneright #knitting #knittersofinstagram #shareyourknits #tinysweaters

Simple relaxing knitting. Making the most of the sun while it lasts. #knitting #quinceandcofinch #garterearflaphat

I started this year with the best of intentions, but this new life of mine hadn’t quite yet found its groove. My birthday seems the perfect time to start those intentions over. #knitting #babyknitsforweeks #newmumma #aprilfool #37 #quinceandcofinch #stashless #listmaker

I’ve been procrastinating about choosing a cable design for this sweater for far too long. Methods have included: knitting both the sleeves, knitting both the front and back ribbing, winding yarn for another project I’m procrastinating about (colour choices I have to live w…

[Definitive in Grey @DefinitiveGrey]

Clearly I’m still procrastinating about colour choices for the tiny human’s blanket... #knitting #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #procrastiknitting

[Definitive in Grey @DefinitiveGrey]

It’s taken nearly four months, but I can now simultaneously hold/entertain my tiny human and knit. Think I’ve finally got this motherhood thing figured out 😉. #knitting #instaknit #knittersofinstagram #proudmumma

Being painfully indecisive is even worse when you know the blanket will live in your house indefinitely. #crochet #crochetersofinstagram #instacrochet #decisionsdecisions
