I still have to weave in all my ends and block it, but my wife’s Winter Berries sweater by Drops Design is done. Took me 23 days to make, and I think that for only my second big garment knit it turned out pretty good 🧶😊

In the process of #knitting my first Lopi sweater, the Riddari. It’s bottom up, and I’m just about to start on the first colorwork bit after the ribbing. I love the yarn so much! Bless those Icelandic sheep 😂🧶

Finished this pair last night for a friend. First time #knitting shorties socks and I love how they turned out. No pattern, just 7 rows of 2x2 rib and 8 rows for the foot before a standard heel flap and gusset. Yarn is Knit Picks Stroll Effects in the Koi Pond colorway 🧦🧶

Finished #knitting the first sock in a new pair for my wife. Main color is Trapper Keeper by Polymorphy Dye Works and the pink accent is from a Valentine set by Wilderness Fiber on Etsy. Pattern is Hermione’s Everyday Socks. I love how it turned out 😍🧶🧦

First time #knitting socks with Arne & Carlos yarn. I’ve used their Regia Design Line before but never their own label. It’s feels very similar so maybe it’s the same source? Either way, I like it. Feels very soft yet durable 😁🧶🧦

Finally knitting up my Frog & Toad socks using the yarn I got last year from Frog It! Yarns. I used Kay Jones’ Crunkled Sock pattern on the leg, and straight vanilla after that. Should he done by the fiber fest so I can show Tasha 🙂🧶🧦🐸

If you’re a #knitter who is near Hughesville, PA the weekend of May 16-17, be sure to check out the Central PA Fiber Festival. This’ll be my 4th year in a row going. It’s awesome.

Just finished #knitting this pair of socks for my wife. That’s #6 for the year. I don’t recall the yarn because I started them a while ago, but I got the swirl on the leg using the Wyatt Socks pattern by Kay Litton 🧶🧦

It’s hard to see in the pics, but I bought a hank of Madelinetosh sock yarn from Simply Socks because I’d heard good things about it, and the dye is coming off on my hands. I’ve never had that happen before with any yarn, either mass produced or from indie dyers 🥴🧶🧦
