I #finished the #MerseyWrap from #CentenaryStitches! Woohoo! I'm not totally happy with how it came out, but it's DONE and I can move on to the next project - KITTY COUCHES!!! . . . . . . #buttercupyarnart #knitting #knittedshawl #finishedobject #done #alldone #shawlknitting #shawl #yarn #yarnart #fiberart #fibreart #diy #crafting #quarantineknit #quarantinecrafting #quarantinecraft #socialisolationknitting https://www.instagram.com/p/CCjDobjljla/?igshid=1xvk758pg9iel

So, I've had a crazy few weeks at work and haven't had time to post much of anything. Grace's Jacket is still in progress, but since the pattern is too involved for me to bring to work, I started the much simpler Mersey Wrap, also from Centenary Stitches, to have something to do during downtime! There are some days with a LOT of downtime... . . . . . . #knitting #wrap #shawl #merseywrap #knit #diy #crafting #yarn #yarnart #fiberart #busy #centenarystitches https://www.instagram.com/p/B2AqBllHw59/?igshid=1ovylyhgzdtwc

The next #wip I'm attacking is the #MerseyWrap, also from #CentenaryStitches! All of my projects for other people are finished, and it's really nice to work on projects for myself again! I'm not going to be able to finish the wrap this week, but I've made good progress! I've also done a couple of no-nos that I wouldn't do on a project for someone else, but because it's for me, I don't care! . No-no number one, I switched needles mid-project. The original needles I was using are bamboo, which is Very Grippy, and the yarn is also Quite Grippy, which made for a miserable knitting experience, so I switched to wooden needles that are exactly the same size, and it's much easier to work with now that the needles and the yarn aren't trying to melt together anymore. . No-no number two, I switched how I purl a few rows after switching needles. I started this project purling wrong, and was utterly miserable continuing to purl that way, so I switched to the correct way, and it's going MUCH better now! There's no visual difference unless you know what you're looking for and basically put your eyeball directly on the fabric, which is not generally recommended. . . . . . . #buttercupyarnart #yarn #yarnart #fiberart #fibreart #diy #crafting #quarantineknit #quarantinecrafting #quarantinecraft #isolationknitting #isolationcrafting #shawl #shawlknitting #knittedshawl #wrap #knittedwrap #wrapknitting #historicalknitting #selfstripingyarn #pinkyarn #purpleyarn #workinprogress https://www.instagram.com/p/CB6GicjBzuf/?igshid=8j7m3dzh4pfe
