Taught myself helix knitting, and goodness, I LOVE it. This is knitting stripes with multiple skeins of yarn, and having NO jog between the colours. I'm making plain socks (my favourite kind) as a mindless knit.

She is looking for

And other styles of #Fidget items to fill her US store.
Please help her fill her store with new inventory!
I was on a FB page reading an explanation from a small wool company in the UK who has put a halt to shipping to the US (wholesale and web site orders) until they understand the impact of the tariffs on the price of a skein of wool in the US stores.
MAGA to the rescue!
They told the wool company to pay the tariff and to eliminate the VAT and there would be no increase to the consumer In the US.

Made a major mistake while #knitting lace, and I fixed it! Figured out how to ladder down to a lifeline and then knit it back up on double pointed needles. Feeling mighty proud of myself. @knitting #knit #fiberArts
Happy early birthday to me! I've wanted one of these magnetic yarn holder things for a while, my yarn bowl is lovely but it still bounces all over the place. This way I stay tangle free and I can just sit comfortably on my chair and knit. It holds the bigger cakes just fine.
Hello techhub.social and beyond, here's my #introduction

Nice to meet you!

There is apparently a blizzard going on today (why, WHY so much snow!) so today is going to be audiobook & knitting....
After socks, spring knitting!
One finished, the second one well underway. Made of cotton and bamboo, it's light and supple, just how I like it!
(I still have one pair of socks on the way, and one ordered to make! Phew! I'd miss it otherwise!)
Après les chausettes, tricot de printemps!
Un de fini, le 2e en bonne voie.
En coton et bamboo, c leger et souple comme j'aime! (j'ai quand même encore une paire de chausettes en route, et une de commandée à faire! ouf!)

Next on my needles is a pair of bright yellow&black socks, just plain, doing a comfort knit. Probably a sweet tomato heel.
I'm ahead because I've already finished April's pair in the Secret-Stash-Busting Sock Along. The yarn is Sweatheart by Jokamamo Textiles with plain pink toes/heels/cuffs.
Going to start another pair.

Vanishing Culture: Punch Card Knitting via The Internet Archive [Shared]
Punch cards are a fascinating binary data storage format that aren’t just history—they’re still used by knitting machines today! Thanks to the Internet Archive and other collections, we still have access to historic punch cards, but there are some technical challenges to using them in the format they’re stored in. Meet a few folx working on those challenges.

My current project is a hooded shawl. I finished the shawl part and I'm wet blocking it while I start working on the hood. I hope it will turn out all right
