WIP and knitting in public. I'm getting into the home stretch on the 1st double knit scarf (and running low on motivation ATM)

Ohh that looks cosy! Not a knitter myself but I also started my autumn crochet projects.
I also couldn't take a photo yesterday because I was full of cold and feeling very sorry for myself. But I think everyone's seen enough photos of my WIP blue/green lace socks by now that you can just imagine it. Most of the way through the foot of the second sock now, which makes it sound like they're very nearly done until I mention that they're toe-up lol.
@imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works the scarf is amazing! Have some internet motivation! *waving my hands around in the direction of the laptop screen*
You can do it, I believe!
Lol wow. As much as I'd like to take credit for the knitting skills, @QTpi@sh.itjust.works is not my account. I didn't realize we had another QTpi on this server, cool.
Also nice to see you on Lemmy, thanks for the stickers!
Haha, I swear I double checked I was picking the right name from the dropdown and everything. Can I blame having a cold please? It has slowed down my brain somewhat ๐
Lol no worries, hope you are feeling better ASAP
In the home stretch with a Hue Shift Afghan. In the middle of seaming and then the border.
Is that the knitpicks pattern? What color scheme are you doing?
Yes, that's the one. I bought the kit and went with the standard "rainbow" colour way.
No knitting projects from me this week, it was a crochet week. I'm figuring out what to make with my first hand dyed yarn, currently debating between a cowl (Zuzu's petals being the frontrunner) or maybe a hat? I can't decide :/
I've gone the exact opposite way and have zero crochet projects on the hook now. Yay for having options! :D
I've heard from some friends that they don't like knitting in warmer weather. I may be feeling some of that as my side of the hemisphere is approaching Spring (yay!) and (I'm assuming) for you it's the opposite, maybe that's what is drawing you to the knitting needles? :)
Yeah I usually end up heavy on the yarn crafts in winter, heavy on the cross stitch and sewing in summer. Although the only one of those that consciously annoys me in any weather is sewing when it's hot, so I should really try and change the routine a bit!
