I had to put my cabled sweater in hibernation because my #postCovid brain couldn’t grok it. Which made me sad.
Then came the January Stitches and Cream sock club with a heel-up(!) DK slipper pattern which I can do(!!) and it’s SO MUCH FUN it’s probably illegal in several regions. Needless to say it’s way less complicated than it looks 😆 @knitting@a.gup.pe @knitting@lemmy.world #knitting #sockknitting #breien
@kurobita They look super fun! And I love your point protectors 😍
@thegiddystitcher yes I had a knitless week as well. That’s how my manager knew it was serieus 😂
@thegiddystitcher awww Covid solidarity right back! I feel fine, just so tired all the time and screens give me a headache. Not practical if you’re a software engineer… hope you’re feeling better too.
I was unnerved by this sweater because there’s so much shaping in the yoke and I more or less guessed at it. It came out better than I ever hoped for 🥰
@neonred thank you! I will have to. It wants to be taken out :)
@ickplant thank you 🥰
@uthredii fediverse magic ✨
@Imgonnatrythis thank you! Yes, I need to get better so this thing can get the audience it deserves 😆
@stom that’s a combination of the different stitch pattern and the colour variegation of the yarn. I didn’t do anything to create it. The happiest of accidents :)
At least I can mope around at home with Covid in my newly finished sweater. It has a little lid for my watch because I might need a watch again sometime in the future 🙃

@thegiddystitcher also they’re fun to make and I can use different patterns for each so they’re never boring
@thegiddystitcher fingerless mittens mostly. They’re not widely available in shops and people who work from home but want to cut heating costs really appreciate them
Can we talk about the neurotic knitter’s\* dream gradient yarn, the Zauberperlen (“magic pearls”)? This is so much fun it’s probably illegal somewhere. @knitting@a.gup.pe @knitting@lemmy.world \#knitting
\*me, that’s me, I am a neurotic knitter
