I need a bumper sticker that says "I feel sorry for people who don't knit. They lead empty lives.

There are a ton of socks with the same name! This one is by Emily Bolduan. I *think* it's a 6 stitch pattern repeat- it isn't charted and I'm shit at written directions! 🤣 planning to ditch one pattern repeat from the top & 6 stitches from the bottom to size down so I can use my 2.75 mms. 🤞🤞🤞

I don't know what I expected... I *knew* that with this yarn & these needles I need 64 stitches for my feet. The pattern clearly called for 78 stitches. OF COURSE the socks are too big. Why am I surprised by this?! 🤣 I will 🐸 and proceed with fewer stitches fomorrow. (No smaller needles w/ me, alas)
A pair of feet are shown. The toes are covered with yellow socks still on the double pointed needles. They are visibly too large for the feet in them. The pattern is Honeycomb Socks (free on Ravelry) and the yarn is KnitPicks Stroll in Poppy Fields. 🧶 #knitting

In a moment of weakness, I impulse-acquired some Stroll Tonal in Poppy Fields, so I have cast on for some #Socktober fun! These are going to be Honeycomb Socks by Emily Bolduan. (Free pattern!) 🍯 🐝 🧶
A lap holds two balls of yellowy-orangey yarn. There are two sets of double pointed needles, each with the first little bit of a sock on them. The pattern is here https://ravel.me/honeycomb-socks-14

Suggestion: move your yarn elsewhere. Just leave one skein in that drawer. 😉

I assume it's physically POSSIBLE but I gave up. My hand does what it wants. 😆

Well, that's icky. Removing that book from my wishlist.

Does anybody else have an overwhelming urge to knit or crochet a frog hat real quick for the protest next week? Can't let the Portland Frogs down! #nokings Ravelry has so many options but i love this one. 🧶 ravel.me/frog-hat-27

It is good to see how inclusive the costumed frog community is there in Portland and how readily they accept costumed unicorns and costumed giraffes and all other human beings in animal costumes as part of the dance party without any problems. Peace breaks out sometimes.

Abolish ICE beanie finished. Suggested yarn for this beanie is fingering or sport weight; free pattern link below. I used some stash Camper 100% Highlands wool from Kelbourne Woolens. Will work up a version in cotton as well. #AbolishICE #knitting #knitsky 🧶

At the Portland, Oregon Ice facility

Look at the unrest and mayhem here.

We have some knitters here, they're going to add some knitters, they're calling it a knit-in, instead of a sit-in.

I loved that pattern so much! Such a fun knit.

My only project for #wipwednesday is this 10 stitch blanket. I am nearly out of yarn but dug through boxes til I found my frog pond and now I've got a (terrible) Tunisian crochet blanket I made about 15 years ago to cannibalize! 😃 I am so sick of moving & also reality. Bring on the yarn. 🧶
A large square knitted blanket is shown. It is many many colors spiraling out from the center. #knitting
