I gifted my new job share partner homemade fudge for #Christmas.
She knitted me this for Christmas.
She is the best.
I have named her gift Flo, the Christmas mouse.
Some people are just amazing. Hand made #gifts like this are treasure ❤️💚

@terrymatz is at fault. 😉
A few days ago she posted patterns for Tolkien / LOTR. I showed the hat to my son and ...
Now I'm knitting it.

Provisional cast on, because I'm doing it in double knit. No floats on the inside that way. The yarn is very silky merino because sensitive skin. Smooth silky yarn and long floats are a recipe for disaster.

Hello, fellow forkizens! Belated #introduction - I’m Dana, a geophysicist working on subsurface imaging of volcanic and mineral systems. I enjoy #knitting, #bouldering, and exploring parks in the #Denver area with my toddler. Some things I’ve started recently and hope to continue in the new year are #running and building up my community.
I’ll likely post about #chickens, #knitting, and maybe #geophysics if you all are into photos of scientific equipment in secluded natural areas?
New project - should be a pretty quick knit on 5.5 mm needles.
I'm using this yarn and I'm not sure whether I like it. Probably not.
It's a novelty yarn and I'm not even sure how it's constructed. It's not plied, I think it's a sort of tube. Also the fiber combo (cotton, alpaca, nylon and a tiny bit of wool) doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
The yarn was bought by my MIL and she can't knit anymore so I'm turning this into a vest for her.

More socks (I hope my daughter likes them because they are for her)
The pattern I'm basing this on is called "Fairy Maiden", but i think it looks like little stacked owls 🦉 (I'm mostly just taking the pattern stitch, the rest is how I construct socks all the time).
I'm getting on with my planning what large project to tackle next, but not yet there, so I'm keeping myself occupied with small ones.

Planning my next project - I had 3 different yarns in mind with general ideas what to turn them into, but so far not really decided on the pattern.
When shuffling through the boxes of handspun yarn I found some 3ply dyed on a grey base yarn - 2 skeins, in total about 800 m
I picked https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/s11175-loucinda-shirt - but it's going to be a slipover, not a warm weather garment. And as my gauge is 22 instead of 26 sts, I work size S to get an L
#Knitting’s Complex Shapes Explained in New Physics Model https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/knittings-complex-shapes-explained-in-new-physics-model/
I've often thought that it would be interesting to knit carbon fiber hulls for modern trimarans, naturally with the new recyclable resins, rather than layer fiberglass weave over a form.
Being able to do this with the knowledge of stresses from this research might make this a viable approach, perhaps when combined with some of the techniques of #3DPrinting?

Celebrate with knitting patterns inspired by Escher's artwork. These patterns and more on my Escher knitting pattern post

Flower Stole - a new project.
I bought a third ball from the same yarn (but different dye lot) that I'd used for the cardigan (which is still drying) - just in case.
I'll turn it into a stole with a simple flower pattern, worked on the bias but with a straight cast on. Pretty mindless, 8 stitch / 8 row pattern repeat.
I started it to take to the #KIP event.

US-based Canadian artist Carol Milne creates glass sculptures that mimic the patterns of knitting and yarn.
Her method involves aspects of knitting, lost-wax casting, mold-making, and kiln-casting to achieve the intricate, seemingly pliable forms of knitted glass.

Stitch Your Favorite Destinations with Jake Henzler’s ‘Knit the City’
"When we visit major hubs like Copenhagen or Paris, we often take a lot of photos and make sure to grab a little souvenir as a memento of our visit. How better to remember the architecture and the feel of the city? Well, fiber designer Jake Henzler, a.k.a. Boy Knits World, figures you can stitch those memories into something much cozier than a postcard or a keychain."

Ta da! 🎉 Despite trying to chop my index finger clean off (don't ask) and two stitches later (yes, in my finger, not in the work), I have finished the Melt the ICE Toque:

Hi, this is my #introduction toot! I am new to fediverse in general and I'm hoping I'll have a good time around here.
I like a few different #craft s, including #handsewing , #knitting , and #crochet , although the way I do them have made people scratch their head lol. I am a massive winger/freehander and I suffer the consequences (good and bad) yet get away with it every time! I also have a bunch of hot takes because I've been doing things weirdly so much.
Not a huge #gamer but I do play a bit. I used to play more but these days I spend my nights doing other things. I like #legendofzelda and one day I shall make and finish a proper #zelda -themed project!
Also love #cats because... I mean... come on, just look at them! I was once a bored kid in school and #doodle cats to pass time.
Anyway, nice to meet you and have a good day!
hi, a quick #introduction 👋
I'm Toedel and I suffer from #MECfs which has left me completely house bound and on most days mostly bed bound as well.
I'm an avid reader of #AudioBooks which leaves my hands free for making pretty things. #fiberarts #knitting #crochet #CrossStitch #embroidery
