A soft brown shawl in a feather-and-fan-type pattern sits on a 40” circular needle being bound-off. IT IS NOT GOING WELL, ROMI. 🤣🤣🤣 Pattern, which really is a lovely one: Little Bit of Love https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/little-bit-of-love

JFC THIS BIND-OFF. Listen, @romidesigns.bsky.social, if you want to kill me, be honest about it—kill me. 🤣 I don’t even know if it’ll look right when I’m done! “Stretchy bind-off,” forsooth. Geez! #knitting #pdxknitting 🧶

Five full skeins of yarn sit on a tapestry spread in a cruise stateroom: — a big ball of Regia Virtuoso alleged sock yarn (75/25 wool/nylon, so…?) in a variegated from dove gray through pink to a warm brown; it's alleged because it’s DK, not sock weight yarn — two balls of Noro, no idea what though it looks like Kureyon but it definitely isn’t, in a sunset variegated from soft brown through oranges — a skein of Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock in variegated dark blue and deep magenta. — a skein of sock weight in whites, blues and grays.

Finished: Montana Mountains cowl by Andrea Mowry. 6 years of work. Mostly sitting but still. 6. YEARS. Grafting the sts was holding me back until I said "f it” and 3-needle-bound-off.

A Melt the ICE hat knit in a mystery fingering yarn—it never had a band the whole time I’ve had it, I think it was from a huge bunch of quality yarn I got from freecycle a while ago. Now on the needles, an MtI in Briggs & Little Tuffy in Brick Red. OH NO CANADIAN YARN WHAT HAVE I DONE BAD AMERICAN BAD 🙄🤣

A red 85/15 Blue-Faced Leicester and silk top, dyed a lustrous red, hangs from a spinning wheel made from PVC pipe and a wheelchair wheel, a Babe's Fiber Garden Fibe Starter from about 20 years ago. The top is by Abstract Fibers here in Portland. My normal spinning weight is DK at most, usually closer to fingering or sport, so having it turn out bulky no matter what I do is weird.

Sun 1-18-26 is #SundayAfternoonKnitting 1-3 pm @ Tom's Restaurant SE Division & Chavez in #PDX! Good food, great #knitting, #crochet, #embroidery and card playing. Meantime please enjoy this 85% BFL/15% silk top I'm spinning. Gonna be bulky weight whether I like it or not. #pdxknitting #pdxcrochet 🧶

The first few rows of a British health vest, pattern from the late '40s I think, which is listed as unavailable on Ravelry, so I don't know where I got it. Weird, because I got it in the last couple of months. It's tough knitting; it's almost 100% k2tog yo, and for some reason that k2tog takes a frustratingly long time. The hubs had better appreciate thisboy. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/strutts-leaflet-9501 Yarn: Knit Picks Comfy, colorway Bare
