Nothing fast or fancy — I’m too far out of practice for that — but hey at least I’m #knitting.

#knitting two at a time didn’t work out yet, so I restarted her socks.

I'm just glad I finished them

Deidre's Double Moss Socks

Continued progress #knitting the sock.

Finally got enough brain cells free from work to pull out the #knitting.

I wrote a note:

Deidre's Juneuary Hat

Got a good start #knitting her socks.

That yarn was tough to wind. 45% bamboo, 40% wool, 15% nylon. Maybe wool content contributed to tangling?

Feels fine under the fingers though!

Blocked the hat. Pulling yarn out for #knitting some socks!

Steady #knitting progress today considering that I'm still a little out of practice. That's some happy yarn. Will make a happy head.

I think this is my first time #knitting a hemmed edge with a color change. I thought through it so many times I assumed I'd done it before!

It's not a hat yet but it's clearly a thing I am #knitting so we officially have Progress.

#knitting a hat!

Casting on! Dang, ran out of tail yarn.

Casting on! Oh I misread the numbers. Too big for a hat, too small for a sweater.

Casting on! Dangit I just knit two rows with the tail yarn.

Casting on! Overcompensated and ran out of tail yarn.

Casting on! —

I always forget how long #knitting a scarf takes compared to say for example a hat.

Warming the #knitting muscle memory back up.

Finished the #knitting (and #crochet) of tonight's Mardi Gras party accessories. Now comes the fun part: sparklies!

Finished #knitting and blocking my mom’s Christmas scarf. Yeah it’s later than intended.

Anyways, time to mail it!

#introduction time! Just gonna adjust the one I've used elsewhere.

* New to hackers.town, but been on using Mastodon for a bit. Like a lot of folks I mainly visit when other social networks annoy more than usual

* Non-code hobbies include #drawing, #knitting, and #crochet

* There is no intended theme, brand, or purpose to my toots. Just what's on my brain that moment. Maybe #coffee, or the occasional #selfcare note. If you want consistency, I'm a bad choice to follow.
