Finished! Only took me 4 days and was WAY easier than I had thought. Fair Isle knitting has intimidated me for ages, but this helped me figure out it's not actually that hard.🧶

Day 3: finally finished the slogan and birds, starting to decrease. Hoping to finish tomorrow.🧶

Day 2: got about 8 more rows done then had to back out another row, so I put it time out for the rest of the day.😂😅🧶

Fair Isle knitting project with dark taupe, pale yellow, and cream yarn on bamboo circular knitting needles with a green bucket of yarn in the background

Back side of Fair Isle knitting project with dark taupe, pale yellow, and cream yarn on bamboo circular knitting needles with a green bucket of yarn in the background

Day 1: made it through row 15 of the pattern. Had to back out 2 rows when I discovered Chart 1 is missing a MC square on the left for rows 13-15, but I managed.🧶 So many ends to weave in, but one of my bfs has agreed to do it for me ❤️😍

On the left, two skeins of variegated yarn with gradients from light grey in the middle to black on the outside, partially used from a center pull hole. In the middle, two partially crocheted sweater sleeves in light grey with white cuffs. One of the sleeves is lying flat on a brown fabric background. The other sleeve is modeled on a light-skinned forearm with a red-handled crochet hook lying across it.

Getting two skeins of variegated yarn that are pretty identical means I just *had* to make sweater sleeves with them, right?🧶Trying to alternate between them so I don't fuck up the increases, and succeeding so far.

Poop on Fascists pattern by Lanja Khon-Engheim “I am but a little bird, small and insignificant in the face of the hurricane of history. But however much I’m buffeted by the winds of chaos, I will always do my best to poop on fascists!”

Was looking for a harder knitting pattern to try and found this delightful (and free!) one on Ravelry. Gonna give it a try!🧶

Small teal bucket containing a light blue crocheted work in progress, with a brown couch in the background

Putting this WIP crocheted cardigan aside for a bit. I like the pattern, but this yarn isn't right for it. Got the front and back panels done, trying to decide if I want to continue with it or frog the whole thing. 🧶 #pensive #yarntherapy #yarnaddict #crochetsky #knitsky

Wore it out today for the first time, one of my metas had a roller derby bout. Got lots of compliments on it, and I felt really good for actually making/finishing something for myself.🧶

Knit & crochet tank top with black lower half and muted rainbow colors for top half with black straps, on a background of grey rug and brown wood floor

Freehanded this tank top for myself out of lace-weight yarn - knit the bottom black section in the round, crocheted the top rainbow part and straps. Just a few ends to weave in, then I might wear it this weekend! 🧶

Broke up with one of my partners today - it was amicable and a long time coming. Still bittersweet, though mostly a relief. Time to crochet🧶 for some #yarntherapy

I was finally able to tackle the basket weave stitch. I learned that I really have to NOT think about what I'm doing. If I do, I mess it up big time. Me, overthinking something? Nah, never!😁

Photo of yarns and flowers. The yarns are all on the left of the photo, and the flowers are coming in from the right. The yarn and bloom colours are soft. Mauves, purples, pinks, lavender, and greens. There are tulips and stocks with spring green stems. The yarns are many different brands of wool yarn. This was an advertising photo for a yarn shop. 🧶💓

A favourite soft mood photo from yarn shop days. *swoon*

Insomnia crochet 🧶 I won yarn chicken with about 6 inches left! Had really been skeptical on the last round and almost ripped it back, but I'm glad I persevered. #crochet #yarntherapy #insomniacrafting

A pile of crochet granny squares of different sizes in shades of blue, brown and red yarn with loose ends.

Making a crochet jacket out of 108 granny squares of various sizes seemed like a much better idea before I was faced with the reality of 216 ends to darn in. #crochet #yarntherapy

Spent a lovely evening crocheting and chatting with one of my partners about leveling up in our Pathfinder 2e game (I'm DM, he's a goblin rogue). Love the feat system so much.

Maroon granny square with green-handled crochet hook

Went hiking 🌳🌲 with my bestie and ended up staying for dinner, but hadn't packed my regular 🧶 project bag. So I busted out my emergency stash from the trunk of my car🤣 Overpacking win! #yarntherapy #knitsky #yarnsky

Flat lay photo of balls of yarns in soft spring colours lined up in a row on the right side of the photo. On the left side there is a grape vine wreath full of more balls of yarn making it look like a nest full of eggs. The backdrop is a wood plank table.

Crocheting helps calm my mind, especially during the last few months.
I thoroughly enjoyed making these crochet monsters. The patterns are from the book Crochet Monsters by @craftyintentions.bsky.social
I look forward to making more.

Looking ahead to Spring on a snowy day ❄️🌷❄️🌷❄️ As I write this, it is Presidents' Day, and it is snowing. But it's February 17th, and March is only two weeks away. While it is too early to plan for sustained Spring weather, we are likely to see re...

For therapeutic purposes I need to dye yarn. I rarely dye at the end of the week, but here we are. If there’s anything you’d like to see, let me know in the comments. 💔 Shannon
