My tip for almost every blocker is: just do a bit. Talk it over with yourself and commit to doing one pattern repeat, or three rows, or to the armhole, whatever. It might make it easier or more fun or less scary to continue and even if it doesn’t, you’re further along than you were and that is what you wanted.

The Month of Mending part 2: the green cardigan. This needs at least four repairs that I’m aware of. I committed and bought one of those little darning looms! Which is too little for the elbow hole. But look at my first practice patch, isn’t it darling?

Pretty embarrassing. These socks have been at the bottom of my knitting basket for several years. Fixed in less than a day. Such is the power of #FinishOrFrogAlong! And as luck would have it their owner was coming over tomorrow anyway. #mending #knitting

Well, since I committed to tackling The Mending Pile, here it is (or here is the stuff I’m aware of). It’s for five different people! Three things are hand knits, two of them by me. Everything will need a very different technique.

I’m tempted to start with the socks, since I have the original yarn and have re-heeled socks enough times that it isn’t much of a puzzle.

#crochet and #knitting hive mind, what’s the best material for pot holders?

Cotton is flammable. Acrylic melts. Wool is harder to care for and some people are vegan, allergic, or both.

I’m overthinking this to the degree that potholders might cease to exist. What should I use?

I’m cis and get misgendered at scale when I’m wearing my prettiest dresses. Apparently consensus on the street is trans women have style.

ha, I was very tempted to offer to sort them 😆

And the second pair of Holly socks is finished - my first and probably last adventure in assigned pooling. Turns out I don’t like it when my yarn bosses me around. The berries are cute though! (Selfstriping is West Yorkshire Spinners Gingerbread, the Christmas colourway of a few years ago).

Happy Friday to all and happy Harbour Lights socks to all who celebrate! (Yes they glitter!)

This was the “festive” edition of the bimonthly sock club by Stitches and Cream, my favourite expensive indulgence. I love how you can see the harbour lights reflecting in the water. They work for Advent because of the purple but I saved them for today :)
