penpencilbrush🇨🇦<p>When there's not a lot of time to knit, use heavier gauge yarn. 💡 </p><p>Really liking these. Good practise for colourwork. Happy with the grey-cream switch. According to the pattern the primary colour should be grey. <br>🧶 🧦 <br><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knitting</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/socks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>socks</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/colourwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colourwork</span></a></p>
David<p>Got through about an inch tonight while watching a couple of episodes of Bake Off.</p><p>Three inches of grey done, only another six or seven before starting the ribbing!</p><p>Also getting the colour right in this photo was a pain. But this is pretty close :)</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Knitting</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Yarn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Yarn</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ColourWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColourWork</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Sweater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sweater</span></a></p>
David<p>Update! I finally got some more time to work on this, and finally I’m at the part where it transitions to just the grey for the rest of the body 🎉🎉🎉 </p><p>This week is really busy, and maybe next week, but hopefully I get a few quiet nights and can smash out some rounds 😀</p><p>It’s all just plain knit from here to the ribbing, but alternate rows have a single slipped stitch at the beginning of round and middle of round. Going to be a pain to remember, but probably not very noticeable if I forget 😊</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Knitting</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Yarn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Yarn</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ColourWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColourWork</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Sweater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sweater</span></a></p>

David<p>Current knitting project! Another top-down one-piece sweater 😅</p><p>Not 100% sure about the colours, but 🤷‍♂️</p><p>The pattern is “The Beauceron” on Ravelry (link below). I think the colours in the example photos are much nicer, but mustard yellow doesn’t look good on me, and I couldn’t find that grey in the material/price point I wanted.</p><p><a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-beauceron" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ravelry.com/patterns/library/t</span><span class="invisible">he-beauceron</span></a></p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Knitting</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Yarn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Yarn</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ColourWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColourWork</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Sweater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sweater</span></a></p>
Carolyn<p>Bag number 3 complete! The colour change in the pattern turned out perfectly 👌 </p><p>If you know me IRL any future gifts will probably come in one of these bags - I'm just going to keep making them til I have no yarn left (ha!) </p><p>Some will be a bit more fancy, and some will be a bit more plain depending on the yarn I have available 😀 </p><p><a href="https://topspicy.social/tags/handmade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>handmade</span></a> <a href="https://topspicy.social/tags/knit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knit</span></a> <a href="https://topspicy.social/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knitting</span></a> <a href="https://topspicy.social/tags/colourwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colourwork</span></a></p>
Carolyn<p>The gradient on this colourwork is wonderful!

Carolyn<p>After musing "live" on my YouTube vlog about making bags to put Xmas gifts in this year, I decided I would give it a go - it's a great way to use up my yarns and practice colourwork! </p><p>I had hoped I could get a better colour change on this yarn as it's a variegated one, and I love how it can look with colourwork! </p><p><a href="https://topspicy.social/tags/handmade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>handmade</span></a> <a href="https://topspicy.social/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knitting</span></a> <a href="https://topspicy.social/tags/knit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knit</span></a> <a href="https://topspicy.social/tags/knitted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knitted</span></a> <a href="https://topspicy.social/tags/vintage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vintage</span></a> <a href="https://topspicy.social/tags/colourwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colourwork</span></a> <a href="https://topspicy.social/tags/yarn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yarn</span></a></p>
Nicole des Bouvrie<p>As a child I disliked pink vehemently, wearing preferably blue. Still I really like blue, teal, etc.</p><p>But my daughter (just turned 4) really likes pink.... trust me, she didn't get it from me. </p><p>As an enlightened feminist I obviously give in to what she prefers. Reclaiming pink, one person at the time.</p><p>Time for more summer <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knitting</span></a> Cotton pinks and some contrast colours for the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/colourwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colourwork</span></a> garden tee I will make her. But first a little blanket (which will be my swatch!) for her owl.</p>

When I finish this band of dk red and yellow I'm grafting shoulders. Not decided if I'm first cutting sleeve holes Norwegian method, or knitting sleeves first. Will do one or other this holiday. <br>Will cut front opening and neckline Norwegian method, following an Arne&amp;Carlos example. <br>Get to try picking up a lot of stitches for facings.<br><a href="https://medievalist.masto.host/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knitting</span></a> <a href="https://medievalist.masto.host/tags/colourwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colourwork</span></a> <a href="https://medievalist.masto.host/tags/colorwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colorwork</span></a> <a href="https://medievalist.masto.host/tags/FairIsle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FairIsle</span></a></p>
Saule, anar en Mousses<p>Hello gens qui tricotent ! <br>J’ai acquis de la TRÈS JOLIE laine colorée fancy et j’aimerais l’utiliser mélangée à autre chose d’une façon qui la mette en valeur.

A bend gules: dabbler in arts<p>Fair Isle Friday is a bit early bc I'm busy tomorrow. <br>Moved to 2 circs to let my knitting sprawl a bit: I was concerned my colourwork tension was too tight as I worked a lot of stitches on 1 needle.<br>Viewed from the back the tension is improving. <br><a href="https://medievalist.masto.host/tags/FairIsleFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FairIsleFriday</span></a> <a href="https://medievalist.masto.host/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knitting</span></a> <a href="https://medievalist.masto.host/tags/colourwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colourwork</span></a> <a href="https://medievalist.masto.host/tags/ShetlandWool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShetlandWool</span></a></p>
Affienia<p>Weaving in all the end was a pain but I didn’t want to learn magic knot. It’s a tiny bit small but considering I didn’t swatch I’m pretty pleased.
