    To go on my Marius sweater: * 10-12 cm (4-5 inches) of stockinette on 3 mm (US 2.5) needles * 5 cm (2 inches) of 1x1 rib on 2,5 mm (US 1,5) 288 stiches per round. Am I going to finish this weekend? #knitting

    Haha, kind of. It&amp;#39;s about 30 minutes of straight knitting per stockinette-cm, so it&amp;#39;s doable but will take some effort. I want to wear it though!

    It. Is. Done. Now all that&amp;#39;s left is waiting for wet yarn to dry and snipping off the ends. Is it dry yet? #knitting #colorwork

    This is fascinating and absolutely amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ibP2YH6QCI #knitting #shetland

    Knitting a heel turn. Wondering why there&amp;#39;s such a weird gaping space between the stitches in the middle of my row. Maybe I need to take a break. #knitting #sockknitting #brainfogAhoy #IAmNotTiredYouAreTired

    Knitting a sweater for my mother. Picked out pattern, bought yarn, but realized when swatching that the cabled portion of the pattern looks &amp;#39;messy&amp;#39;. Not user error, just design choices that don&amp;#39;t align with my taste. So now I&amp;#39;m re-designing the cables. As one does. I&amp;#39;m not sure if this is a healthy use of skill and passion or a problematic obsession 😂 #knitting

    Made this pattern for a friend last year, adored them (seriously, I think they’re the most perfect socks for fall) and had a ton of yarn leftover so made them again for me 😁 #Knitting #Sockknitting

    @Violinknitter Do you happen to have easy access to the new grove?

    *frogged* I dropped a stitch when attaching yarn for a forethought heel. Toe down sock, stitch on the toe-side of the hole so the stitches are &amp;#39;upside down&amp;#39;. I cannot get my brain around how to pick it up properly. Anyone with a (link to a) good explanation? I really don&amp;#39;t want to unravel the whole foot. Edit: it’s technically picked up in the pic, but it doesn’t look right in the red/pink colorwork (gaping stitches). I’m looking for the correct way to fix. #knitting...

    People are doing rocket science and quantum mechanics, and yet no one has invented a knitting needle that displays the current number of stitches it&amp;#39;s holding. Disappointing. #knitting
