#layarncrawl

Who's crawling this year?! Be sure to stop by @twistyarns in Manhattan Beach to pick up the FREE knit and crochet patterns I designed especially for the @layarncrawl! #layarncrawl #knitting #manhattanbeach #madewithtwist (at Twist, Yarns of Intrigue)

Made a pair of “Spring in my Step” socks by @ottercraftknits using the Mystery Machine sock yarn by @threadhead_knits.co I picked up at @altered_stitch during the @layarncrawl . They are super cozy and only used about half a skein, so I’m thinking I’m going to make some matching mitts to go with them. [Image Description: A pair of feet photographed from above wearing bright neon green socks with flecks and pools of orange, pink, and blue throughout. The top of the feet and legs of the socks feature a lace pattern up the inner side and cable ribbing up the outer side.] #SpringInMyStepSocks #OtterCraftKnits #LAYarnCrawl #ThreadheadKnitsCo #AlteredStitch #Knitting #FinishedObject #LaceAndCableSocks #MysteryMachineYarn #Neon https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb_W312pJSf/?utm_medium=tumblr

I am going to need some help photographing my #whatthefadeshawl (pattern by @dreareneeknits) after I finally block it. It’s just hard to manage with two cats in the house 😹 and also I can’t back away enough to show the whole shawl in the frame, lol. I did a little video (which I didn’t manage to turn the right way, oh well!) I got a lot of compliments on it during #layarncrawl #layarncrawl2018, finished it at the stroke of midnight on Thursday! (Which is why I haven’t blocked it yet, I just wanted to wear it immediately.) This is both my first brioche project AND my first shawl project, as well as the only thing I have completed so far this year. And for anyone wondering, here are the yarns which I bought last year at @altered_stitch (start at the bottom garter stitch) A - @macheteshoppe Betty Paige 💜 in Single Twist (SW merino) B - @macheteshoppe Rhubarb ❤️ in Simple Sock (SW merino/nylon), C - @spectrumfibre 🌈Party in a Nebula SW merino sock yarn, D - @macheteshoppe Grassroots 💚 also in Simple Sock, E - @thegreatskein Photosynthesis 🌱 in Pure Merino Sock, and F - @dyedinthewoolyarnco Don’t Pee in the Pool 🏊🏽‍♂️😹 in Twisted Sock. Phew! I’ll update Ravelry today because TBH I can never remember all the yarns, it just breaks my 🧠 to try to tell anyone what’s what. Thanks again for all the knitter love people rained on me and my shawl this weekend. I really love it. #ravelry #knittersofinstagram

I didn’t have a lot of free time this week, but I did a little yarn-crawling and here’s what I got! 1 - from @altered_stitch, super speckly Leslie by @wraybot in Boss Sock, 2 - from @yarnovertruck shimmery Marie Antoinette Unicorn Poop by @yarnloveyarn, 3 - @forbiddenfiberco Gluttony Sock in (L to R) Ever After 😍, Bonnie Prince Charlie, and Healer from @socalknits, 4 - @cey_yarns Hanako and @malabrigoyarn Rios in Sunset from #needleinthehaystack, which btw has super cute embroidery patterns I will certainly be back for (I just got the gnome one shown in 6 by @kyokomaruoka) 6 - the @pompommag I’ve been searching for! Found at @woll.haus, along with 😱 limited edition @brooklyntweed Ranch, 8 - @flyingkettledyeworks/ @theflyingkettle Fundamental in Caspertine (white speckled) and @madelinetosh sock yarn (Citrus). 9 - I also got Wollhaus’s last 2 #layarncrawl totes for me and @fishgirl182 😘 Thanks Kathy and Ulli and all their staff for fondling and praising my #whatthefadeshawl (see next post). Better start saving for next year... Yarn is 💸💸💸! And for anyone who’s free tomorrow, hey, the Crawl is still on. Have fun and drive safely! Thanks to all the lovely shops 🌈🌈🌈 and sponsors ✨✨✨ and of course the crawlers 🚗🚙🚌
