Knitting Inclination

Socks I finished yesterday! I love this blue so much

Did you know? Sea turtles love to eat jellyfish 🐢😋❤️〜〜D

(Photo from @euginemay of the 2 turtle melon-pans she ordered from me! 😆💕)

Nearly all species of sea turtle are now classified as endangered. Unfortunately, sea turtles end up eating plastic bags and lost balloons because that rubbish looks like jellyfish too 🐢💀😱 don’t let that balloon go! 🎈 And hang on to your plastic bags 💪🏻.

I hope to be able to donate a portion of my sales of turtle melon-pans to help save sea turtles too…

I do other donations from some sales of my items which I don’t publicise. So your support actually means more than you think… 🙂

Does anyone know what kind of stitch this is, if it has a name? I can’t find it on google but when I search “heart stitch knitting” on youtube the first few videos show this stitch, and they’re usually in other languages.

These are the steps if it helps (or if you wanted to know how to do it)

Cast on with Even number of stitches. 

Row 1 : k1, *Knit with looping yarn two rounds around the right needle, Repeat from *, end k1. 

Row 2 : k1, * sl 2 stitches to right needle and then move back to the left, skip 1 st and knit into 2nd stitch and then knit the skipped stitch **, Repeat from * to **, end k1. 

This database holds a ton of useful materials for embroidery! many different types of stitches in various difficulties, all incredibly useful!

You can fix holes by just going through them with a bit of yarn and a crochet needle. You know: you finish a heel turn, congratulate yourself as you start picking up the stitches, and then there's That Gap.

My advice: leave it be. Don't tink, don't pick up extra stitches, don't Google and/or sacrifice to the old gods. Leave it be, and once you finish just go through the area with some spare yarn. Loop through the loose stitches on the flip side, tighten, tie a knot. Ta-da. The gap is gone.

FINALLY found the mistake I made on my SIL‘s shawl … PHEW! Now onward!! It’s so much fun, and a very soothing knit. I hope she will love it!

I FINALLY FINISHED KNITTING MY JUMPER!!!!!!! it has truly been a labour of love (and a labour of hate during the time i messed it up and had to unravel the whole thing lmao) but yeah! done!!!!!
