🧶🧶🧶 #WIP - The Harris Hood, three strands held together, featuring my fave stitch markers - a cherry blossom and a bird from #PrettyWarmDesigns, maker of marvelous sundry items.

Pink yarn is a cashmere blend in Pink Flower from #Temu (when I tried them out, pero no más), two strands variegated Rowan Fine Art in 301 Serin, a wool mohair silk polyamide blend.

🧶🧶🧶 New #WIP! This one is a triangular kerchief for a medical aide here, Marietta, who has been very helpful with me and my recovery.

Pattern is the Ivy Scarf, yarn is Classic Elite Giselle in the color Cloud, US4 ChiaoGoo needles. It's weightless, and except for the tinking back and frogging experience, a delight to knit with!

🧶🧶🧶 Ye Olde Stack 'O Swatches. Amazing how each one holds a memory. And, can see how my swatching in particular and knitting in general have improved.

Reflecting - This art/craft of ours is blessedly diverse. Some days I want to knit all the things. Other days it's sorting scraps, a match for the spoons I have.

I feel so blessed to have the chance to begin again with fiber arts. <gratitude>

🧶🧶🧶 Getting a whole lot of knitting prep done today! Swatched for the Ivy Scarf in Giselle, color Cloud.

The four holes at the bottom are a little hard to read, should have put more stockinette rows before beginning lace. Supposed to indicate US4 (four yo + k2 holes). Live and learn.

This one is for a CNA eg medical aide named Marietta here in the nursing home, who always goes the extra mile.

🧶🧶🧶 Hiya Kniterati, what do we think of this knitting? Would love some feedback on my yarn choice. It will be a balaclava-hood, called the Harris Hood.

Two strands of Rowan Fine Art variegated in pink-coral, and one strand of pink cashmere.

Also here is a picture of the woman it is for, and of the pattern. She wanted a bright color. Am I on the right path with this?

🧶🧶🧶 Here's a knitting math geek-out from Norman of NimbleNeedles on #YouTube...

I always learn so much from Norman. Here he takes a deep dive into stitch and row gauge. He maths A LOT. If you are math-phobic, Norman makes it clear, step-by-step. His thinking changes the role of getting gauge - the swatch is still important, but not everything. So interesting!
