A big part of my #coldsheep goals is to actually use the yarn and fiber I buy instead of stashing it away for someday. I am making good on the goal today. I bought 2 skeins of Tough Ram from @mjyarns last week at #YarnFest18 and wound them up to #knit a Mrs Watson shawl by @strickmich which I’ve only wanted to make since it was published. #knitting #igknitters #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #knitstagram #knitlove #yarnlove #mjyarns #knitlife #capturemycraft #knitterlicious
Having to fix a dropped stitch held me back a bit, but the sweater is finally washed, blocked, and ready for buttons. I tried a different method of swatching for this one that went against most everything I'd head about how to knit a gauge swatch. Know what? That swatch told the truth and the sweater came out exactly the size it was supposed to. Yay! All the knitty gritty details and results of this swatching experiment through the link in my profile. #knitting #igknitters #knittersofinstagram #bigbadwool #twistcollective #instaknit #knitstagram #knitlove #knitallthethings #yarnlove #knitlife #capturemycraft #knitterlicious #danskknit
I'm not the only one that wears their #handspunyarn as a cowl right? :D I couldn't resist giving these skeins a trial run while I figure out what to make with them. #yarnspinnersofinstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunstagram #igspinnersinspiration #yarnlove #yearofcreativehabits #makingyarn #alpacalove #instaspin #capturemycraft #seekinspirecreate #schachtspindle #schachtsidekick
