Seeking advice from the #knitting community. If you are knitting a sweater in the round, do you swatch in the round or flat ? #sweaters #knitter #knittingmastodon

Well I just finished #knitting a shawl. I decided 2025 will be the year I knit anything except shawls! I want to improve my skills in knitting #vests #sweaters #socks #fingerlessmitts and #hats . Give me a shout if you have a favourite #knittingpattern in those categories. #knitting_inspiration #recommendations #handmade #handknit

Just a picture of my dog modeling his new sweater. Don't let the serenity of the scene make you think he liked putting a sweater on. He will appreciate on cold walks, tho

Final day before #Christmas, and what's a #weatherman to do!

I had to break out the two #sweaters that I have for the #holiday from the closet and wore them #on-air.

Which one do you like better?

Invisible Jumpers

Photographer Joseph Ford and knitter Nina Dodd have for the last several years worked on their collaborative project called Invisible Jumpers, in which Dodd would knit a garment that blends in with a chosen environment and then Ford would photograph the wearer. The book was published in 2019 ... but the project continues adding animals, arists, musicians to the project. As Ford explains:

"The locations have to be eye-catching but simple enough to be able to be knitted. They also have to be places that aren’t going to change too fast, as the knitting takes a few weeks...

Once I’ve found the location, I photograph someone standing where I would like the model to be in the final picture. I draw over this scouting photograph and annotate the picture with different colors and patterns so Nina can plan how to knit. Often there are 10 or 12 different shades of yarn in a single picture, and up to 24 balls of wool at any one time for the more complicated designs. The choice of yarn has varied according to the background."

Between saying #trans people playing sports is the “the women’s issue of our time” and failing to acknowledge that #slavery was the cause of the Civil War former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has gotten a lot of negative attention lately.

But her #sweaters are clearly where she gets weird, and it’s an unholy mix of flags, crochet, kitsch, and so much cream.
