#yarnathon

Sweater in progress. Not sure on the length. Going to see if it grows after washing before adding more length. Just need to do the sleeves and the collar. Looking good. Better pics to come. #knittting #wip #yarn #knittersofinstagram #keera #eatsleepknit #yarnathon #sweater

My approach to the @eatsleepknitters #yarnathon quarterly craft-a-longs tends to be “Start all the projects and see what gets done.” Last night I cast in a third mosaic project for the #ESKMosaicCAL so now it’s a race to see which one gets finished first. 😆 🕷 https://www.instagram.com/p/CJtOWcvJEr7/?igshid=13hliivlqci9

I have almost finished this baby blanket, but I ran out of yarn for the last part of the border. Curses! 

On to the foot of sock number 1! #q2kal #teamherknitcrab #yarnathon #husbandsocks @eatsleepknitters

Last year I waxed poetic about how much the Eat Sleep Knit Yarnathon helped me grow as a knitter in 2015 and 2016. I tried patterns I wouldn’t have been brave enough to try alone, thanks to knitalongs, and I made so many amazing friends in the ESK Ravelry group. Those were wildly productive and fun knitting years for me. 2017 is going to be even better. This year it’s Candyland themed, and I’m a Taffy Giraffe. I’m embarking on a skill I never really thought I’d try–colorwork, thanks to the year-long Persian Dreams knitalong and the handy advice and encouragement from all my fellow ESKers, and I love it! I’m so lucky to have a LYS–even though it’s hundreds of miles away from me, physically–that doesn’t just sell me gorgeous yarn, but also helps me become the best knitter I can be and provides so much support. Each of the last two years I finished 25 projects. This year, I’m aiming for 30. I know with all the Eat Sleep Knit support (as well as badge points and knitalongs) motivating me, I can do it!

Check out my blog post about the Yarnathon run by Eat.Sleep.Knit. It’s a great way to earn prizes and have fun while buying amazing yarn! Every year I have such a great time participating. I highly recommend joining this community of knitters. 

Finished my may freestyle KAL for this year’s #yarnathon ❤ the pattern is "meld" on ravelry.
