Love this thread! I’m working extras left right and centre but the evenings are still quite dull being unable to do anything interesting. I’ve repotted a bunch of house plants into pretty new pots and finally gone back to knitting my friend’s scarf (that I promised her about 16 months ago!) as I’m a serial project hopper! I’m a self taught knitter so I can’t get my head around fancy shapes, I can only do scarves or blanket squares haha. I can crochet anything even though I’m self taught in that too, go figure! I like to crochet little creatures out of scrap wool I have as well... I’d love to work with clay again but I don’t think I’d have the time for it. I’m always looking for something new!

Haha yea I’m not a normal person so when I found the little wooden buttons I thought they’d be a good idea :)) It’s probably a little under 2ft wide? Tbh I didn’t measure it specifically I just wing it 😅

Aw thanks! I’m much better with little projects as I can get them done quickly. This one is possibly my favourite :D

Why do you think it looks ugly?! I like. I need to make my girls some skirts. The material is there...maybe tomorrow I should dedicate an hour or two to sewing.

I’m knitting a jumper for a friend’s baby. I missed seeing her because of lockdown and my son being off school 🥺 Hoping it fits! I’ll post a photo tomorrow as the one I have is vague.
 
I think it's the fabric that's ugly it just looks like it's been made from a pair of curtains from the 80's. It's the sort of thing I would've loved when I was 7, I thought that was just a phase I went through but it seems my sense of style has just come full circle and I've never been more true to myself.
 
If you like it then that’s all that matters 🤷🏾‍♀️ I knit and I’m not particularly old. Some people would probably say I’m quite boring - don’t like going to clubs, rarely drink, prefer to sit at home and watch tv while knitting. Or see my family. Own it 😁
 
Is that a pattern where you join the sleeves to the cardigan whilst knitting? I've done that it's kinda weird to do but looks good once knitted up.

It’s raglan sleeves. So the sleeves are knit to the underarm then put on hold and the rest of the body worked. You can then pick up the stitches and finish the sleeves. I want to try a set-in sleeve as well.

A contiguous sleeve is kind of a similar look to the set-in sleeve. The sleeve cap is worked with the body and the stitches put on hold while the rest is knitted. Below is a cardigan I knit my daughter using that method.
