losttime3dHello!
I thought I'd post something to give a general idea of what knit projects I'm working on right now! I have main types of projects right now and two wips, one for each type!
I'm working on my first knitting pattern! Its for very simple knit arm warmers.
they're scrappy, so I separated my scraps into warm and cool tones to make a pair. I finished the cool toned glove, and I'm working on the warm toned one tonight.
The pattern is extremely basic and uses worsted/aran weight scraps! So if I decide to make it a more formal pattern with actual instructions and formatting, I'll likely post it to ravelry and do pattern testing on instagram.
I will update with news about this later! LMK if you'd like a pattern when its done (it'll be free for sure, but I can link directly if you'd like!).
I've joined a year long KAL (knit-a-long) for sock knitting! (https://www.ravelry.com/groups/box-of-socks-2023)
its a skill that I would like to gain, so I figure this super involved practice will be helpful! and maybe I can troubleshoot with people in the group as well!
I've started one worsted/aran weight sock just for the sake of getting the techniques down before I move on to more fiddly/smaller yarn.
My boyfriend, Nick, is playing D&D with his friends tonight, so I have plenty of time alone to just sit and get in the zone with knitting!
I'm starting to understand when middle aged women talk about loving their family but finally having time alone to knit! I always thought it was kind of bitter, but now that I'm an adult with more responsibilities, I kinda get it (obviously kids usually play a role in this relief at alone time, so that part I don't get yet but ya know).
I'm so grateful for the people in my life, but also I'm learning to value quiet alone time, instead of being sad or feeling very lonely. I think loving people a lot means that spending time with them means a lot, but time alone helps you feel even more grateful when you spend time with them! (distance makes the heart grow fonder and all that :)
Anyways, time to get into that knittin zone lol
thanks for tuning in!
