😔😢 a truly sad night... this sweater and hat I made with superwash merino cashmere went through the dryer. 😫 it was made in a 4 year old size and now could fit a 1 year old. Truly devastated that it never even got a chance to be worn. . #devestated💔 #shrunkensweater #merinastrand #superwashmerinowool #babysweater #shrunk #knittersofinstagram #knittingdisaster #ineedamomentofsilence #momentofsilence https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Qxf2QJgLk/?igshid=1etwxjcrbtml9

Because of the release I organized last Friday I totally forgot to share my favorite FO of this week. #favoriteFoFriday It is my Merlot Poncho. 😊 #merlotponcho Since I posted about it a few days ago, I have been wearing it constantly. Inside I use it as a substitute for a cardigan and outside I wear it over my winter coat. There is actually a quite emotional story behind this knit: I made the first version about 5 years ago but then accidentally put it in a donation bin when I moved house. I was heartbroken when I found out that is was gone, especially since it was my own mistake. It took me a while to accept the situation. Some months passed and when the next winter came, I decided to make a new one - the one that you can see in the picture above. It has a different color than the first one which I made using a limited edition yarn that was no longer available. So at first using this red yarn instead felt like a major compromise. But I must admit that my new red poncho really grew on me over time. Now I love the red I chose. And around this time of the year it feels especially festive to me. 😊 So today I am happily wearing my poncho and looking forward to Christmas while being all warm and cozy! A lovely Sunday to you all! ❤ #knittingdisaster #knittingstories #knittingmistakes #knitting #knitknitknit #knit #knitknit #handknitlove #herbgardenknitwear #cabledponcho #cableknits #cableknitting #knitponcho #knitcables #handknitponcho #chunkyknit #chunkyknits #chunkyponcho #bulkyknit #bulkyknits #bulkyponcho #bulkyyarn #chunkyyarn #merinoyarn #merinowool #lanagrossa #lanagrossayarn #lanagrossalei https://www.instagram.com/p/CXqx1Q6ol8_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Went looking for a lost mitten through the junk basket, instead I found a sock I’d started to knit three years ago. #noheel #knittingdisaster

For the first time in my knitting career, my bind-off tore while blocking my shawl. Managed to secure the stitches, pretty sure I can salvage it, but I had to walk away for now. Took a shower while downing a rum and coke. Now I'm buzzed, pissed, and just wanting to cry. Fuck the to-do list. I'm going to play some angry video games. #knitting #knitter #knittersofinstagram #igknitter #ohioknitter #knittingdisaster #fuuuucccckkkk
