Good morning dear #knitting community.

I'm looking for a pattern for a cardigan. Requirements: no buttons, with pockets, ends handwith above (!) knee and has a hood.

I really like the Dreamy Cardigan by Trine Meulengracht, though that one doesn't have a hood: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dreamy-cardigan-my-size

I'd feel comfortable including a hem around the neckline/body, but not a hood without a pattern.

Any pattern recommendations (might also only include a hood)?

My youngest son spontaneously made this video and now I’m all 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

I never forced my boys down a certain path but boy am I happy they’re both nerdy geeks 😍

Friends!

Six weeks to the day when I first cast this on, and I’m happy to tell you that the #Startrek double #knitting scarf is complete!

This has been such a fun, and very challenging, project to make, at times feeling like it was never going to end.

I decided to make it fully, including the beads and I also added a fringe because every scarf needs a fringe if you ask me!

This is a surprise Christmas gift for a very close friend who’s a huge fan, I can’t wait to see the look on his face when he gets it!

I’m going to take a break from knitting now for this month, but there’s lots of other fun stuff lined up for next year.

Some stats for nerds:

611 rows.

84 stitches per row.

51,324 stitches in total.

450 beads.

1000 metres of yarn.

260 cm long, 20 cm wide.

42 days in total.

Around 100 hours of knitting.

#knitting content alert! 🧶
One Annual challenge goal achieved, with a couple weeks to spare, even. Still waaaayyyy behind my best year for sock output, but I don't think I'm too likely to hit before-kids knitting time numbers, at least not before the after-kids empty nest years get here.

#startrek scarf #knitting update:

Today I finished the side profile view of the Deep Space Nine station!

There’s only 62 rows left, and they’ll make up the top view of the same station.

I do like how, by pure chance, the station sits within the complete spectrum of colour :)

This should hopefully all be done in the next few days, I’ve decided to add a fringe to it also, so the next update will be when it’s finished, washed, dried, and ready to be sent to my friend for Christmas.

Fellow fiber artists, does anyone know a good dupe for Knit Picks' Wool of the Andes? I got so used to working with it, but with the whole carpet beetles thing, I don't want to buy from KP anymore (and I recommend other people don't either).

(More info: basically, KP has been selling yarn that has carpet beetle eggs in it and lying to customers about it. It seems one of their warehouses has an infestation. This is all technically alleged at this point, but it seems pretty obvious. Lot of people saying they got carpet beetles after buying from KP.)

Love this bit of yarn-bombing on a lamp post on Brechin Street in the Finnieston area of Glasgow.

So, hey, if anyone gives you a handspun/handknit thing, please recognise it is a truly princely gift. #Spinning #Handspinning #Knitting #FiberArts

Working on a spinning project, goal of a single pair of socks. I decided to do Best Case math, dedicated to anyone who says I should "just" sell my handspun &/or knitting to make money while I'm out of work…

2 hr wool prep
20 hr spinning singles
6 hr chain ply prep
2 hr plying
20 hr knitting
------
50 hr work
x $16.30/hr (minimum wage in my state)
------
$815
+ $18 for wool (on Big! Sale!) = $833

$833. For socks. Before profit. 🤔

Advice request time! Let's talk knitting hats.

I have ~100 yd of "Ripe Wheat" Studio Donegal "Soft Donegal" worsted-weight merino left after finishing my TinCanKnits Wheat scarf, and I purchased 2 skeins (420 yd) of the same yarn but in the "Smoke" colorway, which is a warm charcoal with flecks of orange that match the wheat yarn nicely.

I'd like to make a hat to accompany the scarf, and I'm taking suggestions for designs! This will be my first knit project with shaping, so I don't want anything TOO complex. And if it involves colorwork, I don't want to be playing chicken with what's left of the orange.

I could do a Mussleburgh, which has the benefit of simplicity and lack of need for swatching. I'd probably play with striping, graduating from primarily orange to primarily gray as I go, as long as the orange holds out.

But I'm willing to take suggestions! If you had this combination in your stash, what would you do with it?

We're usually there for 2 hours.

Craft Club is meant to be a chill space - I ask that you not bring up politics. I want people to be able to talk about their personal lives and experiences, but this is a time to not dwell upon the horrors.
