They're beautiful!
These are the two skeins of my TAAT-sleeves. Both were fresh skeins, only used for the sleeves. But one of them has twice as much yarn left than the other. I'm not amused.
On a side note, if I run out of yarn this sweater will be in serious risk of getting thrown in the fire....
These are very beautiful!
Have you seen this video on insta (originally from TikTok where all new things come first, if I'm not mistaken), where they mend by first threading yarn for the rows from one side of the hole to the other and then they ladder up using a crochet or mending hook? Would that be an option for your socks?
BTW, I'm really looking forward to all the socks to come this month, even if I'm myself in no state to embark on a new endevour before next year. Sock galore!

I doubt that I can make anything in time for Christmas, but I'm tempted to at least knit a tiny vest for a certain fox using scraps from the toddler cowl from last week. Perhaps, if I'm really productive, even a pair of shorts. So kind of a Christmas gift for a plush :)
This is the only thing I've ever knitted for a child, finished a week ago, thus perfectly punctual for our current theme. The theme announcement might have had something with to do with the timing, or perhaps it was the approaching winter. Anyway, it is not fancy (or particularly beautiful, let's be honest) but the ribbed collar suits the toddlers curls very nicely. It is based on Kim Cowl by Muki Crafts. I started with a provisional cast-on on the neck and finished with a crocheted ruffly edge for maximum stretch and it worked very well.
Lessons learned:
Not much progress around here in the past week, and I'm losing momentum... So, to avoid the very real danger of giving up before this sweater gets both its sleeves: Here I am, starting my magic loop, two-at-a-time, top-down sleeves. These are a lot of firsts for me, and I might be a little terrified :D
It's September and my summer top is done, which means one thing: My longtime WIP (once frogged, now being re-knitted) is out of the drawer and ready to cover everything in red hair!
Unfortunately, it also means that I'm using my old basic circulars again because I superstitious and afraid of changing needles mid-project). Significantly lesser knitting experience compared to my beloved Reflections.
My contribution to the current theme is also my latest FO: A Thea Top in Cotton/Linen/Viscose.

That's what it looks like after one week of wearing and toddler-proofing (we end up dangerously close to a side-boob situation, so it definitely needs layering):
I'm a little proud for managing to weave in all my ends and block it in the last days of August, in time to wear it on our late-summer vacation. The final garment is not exactly what I was hoping for, but I'm learning to love it.

Doesn't it fill your chest with satisfaction?
Just a hypothesis:
Could it be, that post creation is synchronised between federated instances, but deletions are not?
If that's the case, nothing could ever be deleted from Lemmy - but that wouldn't be Jerboa's fault.
That's my drawing for a sea-horse soft toy for a -not-so-newborn baby of a friend. I'd love to hear your opinions.
I'm thinking of using two or three different fabrics and satin tags for the fins, perhaps some yarn as "hair".
I know seahorses have spikes and baby would love them, but I doubt I can realistically tackle that level of sewing detail.
What do you think about the overall shape and size? Or anything else I haven't thought of?
Edit: Working on the picture issue, please hold... :) Edit 2: Picture uploaded, typo corrected.
Did that evolve into four-at-a-time sleeves?
