Knitmastery

Was a free iOS app, now discontinued. May return in a new format in future. Follow us at @stitchmastery in the meantime!

Helium should not be sold for balloons. It's insane. It's literally a finite resource which is irreplaceable for lifesaving medical equpt - but sure - your 1yo snotface NEEDS a helium filled Peppa Pig for their birthday which they'll never remember.

@daughterofashep I wondered whether filters might help.... not really...

[Knitmastery @knitmastery]

We won't be posting here again unless Knitmastery comes back in a new format, but you can follow us at @stitchmastery where we'll be sharing some more general crafting projects amongst the software-specific posts.

Thanks for following us and your support! Happy knitting.

My Aestlight grew a bit, as did my Peppermint Leaves (designs by @shetlandtrader and Clare Devine), not a huge change to be seen but they’ve come on since last time (and since these photos too!).

Hope everybody is keeping safe and well. #StayHome 4/4

So a Sunday catch up for you... this week I cast on the #OperationSJW pattern I bought, Soft-Hearted by @HarveyKnits, and I’m knitting it in @labienaimeeyarn. It’s further on than this photo now and I’m enjoying very much! 1/?

[Knitmastery @knitmastery]

I had 3 #OperationSJW yarn purchases arrive, along with some soap from @thesoapdairy - all now in quarantine for a few days. The skein on the starry plate is from For the Love of Yarn, the other is from Love Bugs Yarns - both indie dyers based in Scotland. Funky socks ahead! 3/?

Peppermint Leaves by Clare Devine grew a wee bit, more daffodils bloomed. Knitting this with New Lanark yarn.

Other than that, I have wound some yarn and done some cross stitch and put a border on one crochet square. Reading, Pilates/yoga, mindfulness, and work have ruled! 4/4

Sunday round-up. You would think lockdown might result in more knitting process than normal... not so much. Little bit of progress on my Fleet Feet socks by Fatimah Hinds using Rusty Ferret yarn (and radish progress too!). 1/?

[Knitmastery @knitmastery]

Sock two of the green watery socks is nearly done! Virtual knit night with the #LinlithgowMassive and friends definitely helped! 3/?

I have a feeling that in years to come, I’ll be saying “my love affair with garter stitch began during the coronavirus pandemic”! And there’s something so calming about the shade of green too.
Design by @shetlandtrader and yarn from Yarn Pony. 2/?

I didn’t finish my watery socks but the make-along got extended so there is still hope! My thyme is looking wilder every day.

[Knitmastery @knitmastery]

Sunday catch up time. Not that all that much knitting happened this week but I am slowly getting a handle on news-addiction and making progress. My Fleet Feet sock number two is nearly ready for a heel! Design by Fatimah Hinds and yarn from Rusty Ferret. 1/?

[Knitmastery @knitmastery]

Got a good amount done on my Aestlight by @shetlandtrader. My flowers are just about past it now (this pic was earlier this week) but they are still a pop of colour from a distance!

[Knitmastery @knitmastery]

And now for something different...

Today! The previews I’ve seen from some of the yarnies and designers taking part are beautiful! Support charity and a small business at the same time and get something lovely out of it!

[Ryann GamerCrafting @AGamerCrafting]

#OperationSJW launches tomorrow! I know many of us are scared, but the charities all these small yarn businesses are fundraising for are going to need us more than ever. ♥️ #PleaseRT

I also put a few rounds in on my watery socks, these are knit with opal yarn and just making them up as I go - wedge toe and heel, nothing very fancy! I would like to finish them during the #PiscesSeasonMAL hosted by the Quirky Monday Craftcast, but we’ll see...

[Knitmastery @knitmastery]

Time for another Sunday Knitmastery catch-up! For some reason I prefer doing this than posting every day (and yes, I could use IFTTT/Buffer etc, but I like posting proper links and correct handles and actually being here rather than just remotely signposting you to Instagram...)

[Knitmastery @knitmastery]

I continued admiring my birthday flowers (from me to me, via @BloomandWild!) as I worked on my Cockleshell scarf, slow progress as ever!
