Crocheters, Knitters, Crafters, and the like 2020 to present

Hahaha, yeah, I feel like that whole project represents my recovery. :smile: Made some mistakes on the way, but determined to move forward.
And even though alcohol is not my DOC (it’s pmo), this is still keeping me distracted, which is good.
Knitting sober, and for keeping sober is great! I like it!

I needed a quick yet challenging project in between the woollen socks I’m making. So I tried double knitting for the first time. Made a test run for a potholder. It has some mistakes, but I guess I can keep this one for myself, as I was planning to make these as gifts.

Didn’t make the pattern. Found it on Pinterest.

Neat! Well done you! My best friend is a whiz at this technique. My brain can not do the thing. I’ll just stick to crochet. Lol

Still some bordering to do but my blanket is mainly finished. A friend of mine was the 1st person to be covered with it, what an honour! :sweat_smile::joy: Guess who’s hiding under there??

That’s so pretty. And looks like a good snuggle.

Thanks. It is, although it’s a bit itchy since it’s mainly wool :slight_smile:

Gorgeous! I still have socks on my list to make for the first time.

How’s everyone doing today? Good I hope. I could use a distraction. Show me what you’re working on :slight_smile: I’m knitting up a shawl for my best friend for Yule. I’m using the simple Scandinavian shawl pattern on Ravelry. This will be my second one. I’m not a great knitter but this pattern is so easy.

That shawl looks nice!! A lovely present for sure!

I’m still working on a granny square blanket I’ve posted here not long ago. Got bordering done and realised I have to undo the last row/layer 🤦🏻 Didn’t notice a very noticeable mistake that I can’t leave be. Frustrating. I so wanted to be done with it, such a long project. Luckily it’s only a couple of hours simple work, but still…

Oh god that’s frustrating. I’ve definitely done that before.
