Continental knitting was a game changer for my ribbing!

Finding a way to tension my yarn was the key to my success.

Now I can knit both styles which also helps me with colorwork too.

Will you try this?

How do you knit? I started off as a thrower but now I can flick and knit continental. It’s definitely been beneficial for me to know them all.

Anyone need to see purling?

Don’t sweat those final rows! Use a scale to measure frequently and eliminate tears! 😭 🐓

Break out the big guys! I use between 2-4 needle sizes larger than my project needle to ensure a tidy and relaxed finish 🎉 #knitting #knittingpattern #knitsky #showmeyourknits #justknitting

Hello knitters on flashes! I’m a indie knitwear designer living in Michigan, USA.

I think about knitting 95% of the time, anyone out there like me? 😆

Finally finished these after waiting for toes for well over a year, oops. 😅 No pattern, just an uneven rib and doing whatever I felt like for a comfort project.

Hard to believe it’s almost been a year since I released Bloomtrail!

Love this that so much, I made 5. I think it’s time for some new ones. My littles are growing out of theirs!

For those following along, here is the last peek before I ply! Plying from a ball which can be an exercise in lunacy but I didn’t want to waste any singles of this fiber! 🤡

Couldn’t be happier with this result! What a joy to be able to make pretty things.

Was going for DK but it’s definitely sportish! 338 yds of Merino/bamboo/nylon. Spun as a traditional 2 ply fractal. 🌅

Hello Bluesky! I like to knit, spin, and watch quality television such as 90 day fiancé! 😆
