That's the technique I meant: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6U3IEUdddUY
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!
(Edited for spelling)
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 :)
Wow, that's even more gorgeous than the first one!
Edging's going well, thanks!
Looking back, it has taken an awful lot of time indeed. But it has served its purpose well: With this sweater, I restarted knitting (with minimal, dormant prior experience) in a time, when I needed distraction from Life™. And later, it gave me some creative time when I had, neither energy, nor time for sewing or any other elaborate activity. So, a therapeutic knit. But yes, I'm starting to have enough of it and want to finally wear it. :)
Hopefully you got well through the day! That's a beautiful colourway. I bet it's a lot of fun to knit with!
Around here, everything is still covered in fluff. After obsessing a little about it not being long enough, I decided that it's OK and now I'm finishing the body with an i-cord edge. But now that I look at the pics from yesterday, I start worrying again that it could use some more length. Oh well...
Don't worry, I promise :D
No way a purple like your skirt can escape from me, no matter what. Btw, I was also on the team black-purple-forest green for a long long time, but apparently I took it too far because at some point I just couldn't anymore.
Since then, most things I sew or buy feel slightly off when I start wearing them. So, choosing colours for a project kind of stresses me. That's why I had a look at the colour palette thing, but it was overwhelming... Thank you so much for the suggestions!
It sounds like you'll have it on time for winter - and it looks so warm! Love the saturated green!
Thank you so much! True, it isn't that bad. But it looses its shape the moment you touch it and it really grew since I first wore it.
The yarn is nice, although it got a little rough on my hands towards the end, when I spent more time on the project.
Some hard blocking will definitely happen!

Yes, I knitted it by hand. Thank you so much!
