@knitting We’ve had an amazing time on Skye. We’ve eaten beautiful food, found inspiring art and relaxed even deeper into our holiday. Today we went to a tannery (one of only two left in the UK that do everything by hand) and we came away with a sheep hide. #sheep #skye #holiday

@knitting Then we were driving along and saw a sign for a “handspun yarn and knitted items”. So we went in. I drive, I decide where we stop. We stopped in an amazing crofter’s studio and I ended up as a demonstrator showing how drop spindling worked. I’m feeling incredibly inspired. #skye #sheep #spinning #holiday

@KarenStrickholm @knitting thank you. It was a joy to spin.

@consumableJoy @knitting I a, really looking forward to this! I've got a few #WIPs that I'm hoping to work on including frogging a cardigan and reknitting all of it except the sleeves. (Which is why it's a WIP). And there is the epic Triple Advent blanket.

@knitting The cardigan for Husbeast has been put in the naughty corner prior to me frogging it. Everything is fine. It fits, Husbeast is happy. I realised that I don't have enough yarn for the buttonholes as planned. That's ok because there is a lovely border edge it just doesn't have any holes in it for buttons. So I'm going to take it with me when we go to Scotland. #knitting #wip #design #frog #knittingwoes

@KarenStrickholm @knitting unfortunately Husbeast has already selected buttons so no zip. I could make toggles but someone would prefer a buttonhole. (This would be the non-knitting someone who even after 12 years, thinks I can do magical knitting things. 😂)

@KarenStrickholm @knitting in a very perverse way, I kind of don’t mind reknitting it. I can make it utterly perfect! (Guess what causes my anxiety 😉😂)

KatyKnits, 10 months ago

@KarenStrickholm @knitting nope. I have to knit the whole body because I knitted it as a single piece. Still at least I don't have to reknit the sleeves!! 😂

@knitting and when I say I’ve done maths and I don’t trust it,this might be why. #design #knitting #maths #mybrainisaveryinterestingplace
