Finished and finally blocked. #OnlyYarnInTheBuilding MKAL by Llyrical Knits using Shalimar Yarns Paulie. It had a modular construction: work small sections then pick up stitches to fill in spaces. Blocking was a little wonky, but the effect is striking with all the directions of knitting going on.
An oh-so-soft scarf for my mother out of just 1 skein of fingering weight 100% Mongolian cashmere.
Pattern is Kernel by Bonnie Sennott (published free in @knitty.com )
Yarn is Ula + Lia

Also from experience with that particular pattern, the twisted cables that wrap your leg and foot don't have as much stretch as other sock patterns, and they can be tight. I recommend trying on as you go, especially when you get to the heel.
I cast on provisional with a really long tail, then after knitting the cuff I go back and put the cast on back on the needles and bind it off. I'm never happy with any cast ons for cuff down socks.
100% agree. If I see someone in the art realm -dyers, designers, painters, sculptors, etc- using AI to make cute/funny/sales posts I unfollow. The only AI I support is that which is meant to train people how to spot and avoid AI. AI is all theft. Idk how an artist can support theft of another artist
Snow day!
Thank you for this!

It's horrible, like ninja stars coming out of the dark to stab you over and over.
It is known that if you don't have any knitting with you, you will definitely find yourself in a situation where you wish you had knitting with you.
Oh, and tRump is an insurrectionist that should not be walking free let alone president.
I believe love is love, BLM, no books should be banned, abortion is health care, everyone should be paid a livable wage, billionaire existence is a societal failing, immigrants make the world go 'round and I'm sure many more "liberal" things that I can't think of at the moment.
Finished this scarf, and man am I glad to have it off the needles. It was such a slog, the same exact row over and over until the end of time. But, the finished scarf looks pretty cool. 🧶🧣

Plus the ones that did happen aren't making the news. Can't organize, and even if you can the rest of us can't see you did.
I don't really post that often, but I want to put something up so it's not all blank. So...have a photo of some of my stash.
That's happened to me a couple times on the mini interchangeable cords. Never on small or large though.
You're not alone, nobody can count. It's kinda a thing with us.
I would frog back to where you'd need to start modifying and then set it aside for a bit. It's hard to face frogging AND THEN brain work modifications all at once. Give your future self a boost by breaking that up.
