#ebearcrochet

Socks are one of the projects I knit most often. I like how I can try out different stitch patterns, experimenting with constructions, and the wearability of a good pair of handknit socks.

This pair is a testknit for Key Knits. I saw the test knit call and the socks looked so pretty that I just had to knit them. I'm using some yarn from my stash, and I'm very pleased with the colour combination, and how the colours and the stitch pattern works together. So far so good. I've knit one sock but that doesn't quite make a pair so I'll cast on to knit sock number two very soon.

I bought the pattern in, i remember it as, the spring of 2023 and i bought the yarn in July of the same year (or something along those lines). That means that by now, I've been working on it for, give or take, 19 months.

One and a half year after crocheting the first gauge swatch, I went to pick up the buttons just before new year's eve. Now I just need to weave in the ends and sew on the buttons and then it'll be ready for wear.

I made two flower chains that works as light sources. The white and yellow one was twice as long as expected, and thus needed to be two colours instead of one.

I've wanted to try this for a year or so, and I finally did it!! I plan to bring them to an autumn-LARP where I have to fix some character sheets in pitch dark. I feel like these will add some nice vibes as well as some much needed light.

I wore a vest i knit back in 2021, and people really wanted to knit it themselves. In between everything that has been going on, I decided to sit down and write up a pattern.

Why not? I thought, it'll be fun.

Fast forward a couple of months, some very serious contemplations about sizing and fit, some calculations, and deciding on a visual language that I can stand, lo and behold, the pattern has been written.

We'll ask one of the regulars, if she would like to testknit the pattern (she wanted to knit it at the workshop), and one of the other participants as well. E is going to double check the numbers, and I'm slightly nervous to hear back from them.

I finished this sweater a week ago or something like that. It's knit on 10 mm needles and I've been working on in since February this year. (It has taken nine or ten months to knit).
