Another pair of finished socks leftover from 2021 - I was playing yarn chicken on the second sock with the green and as you can probably see, I LOST 🐓 Thankfully I had another skein of yarn in my stash that was very close (just a bit darker) and I used the smallest little bit off of that skein to finish the sock. I’ve also just cast on my first pair of socks for 2022 (see pic 2) for the #LaMercerieYearOfSocks2022 . Pic 1 - Pattern: Cat Garden socks from @ancaitinbeag #ChooseYourOwnCatSockAdventure Yarn: all from @threecatsyarn Super Soft Sock - MC Sophie’s Garden, CCs from the Calico Sock Set, extra CC green is Deep Olive . Pic 2 - Pattern: Winter Rose Socks by @curioushandmade Yarn: @qingfibre Super Soft Sock in Oyster (from stash) Project bag is a Sock Squishy from @yarn.creative.australia . #SockKnitter #SockKnitting #SockYarn #WinterRoseSocks #CatGardenSocks #ColourworkSocks #AussieKnitter #AussieKnitters #YarnChicken #WIPs #WorksInProgress #FinishTheWIPs #KnitFromStash https://www.instagram.com/p/CY0KJoaJIGl/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sat out on the deck in the sun to have my coffee and let my indoor kitty have some outside time

I finished these a few days ago, but kept forgetting to take a photo! #MoonlitMagicMitts by @lattesandllamasyarn @jac_attacking Using leftover @bendigowoollenmills Luxury 4ply *again* (these balls just never end 😂) in Champagne and Sienna - and there’s still MORE left to use up 😂 These still haven’t been blocked, but that might wait until the weather cools down enough to wear them #ColourworkKnitting #AussieKnitters #AussieKnitter #AussieYarn #KnittingLife https://www.instagram.com/p/CpWlt4vpeY3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On Saturday, I realised I didn’t have any projects with plain stockinette that would be appropriate for dark theatre knitting and I had 2 events/shows over Sun & Mon - so I cast on a #MusselburghHat on Saturday and got through the increases, ready for #SixTheMusical on Sunday - this is how much I got done during the show and dinner with friends afterwards! Today we’re going to the Bat Out Of Hell musical, so we’ll see how much I get done there! Pattern: Musselburgh Hat by @ysolda Yarn: Ash Tree on Merino/Cashmere/Silk 4ply by @louielolayarns Project bag: Sock Squishy by @yarn.creative.australia #KnittingLife #AussieKnitter #AussieKnitters #SockYarn #HandKnitWardrobe #MeMadeWardrobe https://www.instagram.com/p/CoB19Y_J1f1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Advent 2022 Wrap-Up! Two of my advents are shown here, with their 100g Xmas day skeins: @thecornerofcraft D&D Advent @louielolayarns Cozy Country Advent I already have plans for the Cozy Country one - it’s going to become a CatVent Sweater! I’m thinking of making a blanket with the D&D one but haven’t made any solid plans there yet. My @naturalfibrearts advent isn’t shown because there was a packing snafu and I ended up with the wrong colour for the final large skein. That’s getting fixed but it’s going to take a few days because shipping 📦 Photos of that will come sometime in the next week or so once it arrives! #AussieKnitter #AussieKnitters #SockYarn #YarnAdvent2022 #KnittingLife #ChristmasInAustralia #AdventKnitting #AdventProject https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmp3sw3p2An/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
