TA DA. My very first knit book sleeve! 😍 I totally love it! I should have done an extra half inch for seam allowance but I don't think I've ever loved a knit piece more than this thing right here! 😍#audioknitting #booksleeve

MicrobeMom Self striping yarn? Love the colors! I need to knit me one of these. I loved audio knitting. 7y
blithebuoyant @MicrobeMom yes! It's KnitPicks Felici Hopscotch They just discontinued this yarn right as I fell in love with it ?KnitPicks still has it in bare and sock weight but no worsted. I made this up as I went along, its reversible but tbh I hate the other side, I did fair isle and my floats were too long so my tension is jacked up. I cast on 72 and knit stockinette for 19". Kitchener stitch on one end and mattress stitch on the other! Super simple. 7y

I was going to read when I got home from work, but my head had other plans... This migraine makes it difficult to keep my eyes focused for more than a few minutes at a time. So I'm working on some knitting because it is something I can do by feel. Wanted to check out the site after #litsyapocalypse was over, so here is my check-in!

cobwebmoth Hope the migraine goes away soon! 7y
BethM Feel better! 7y
Samplergal Feel better. Are you on Ravelry? I haven‘t knit since moving to Florida. What is it you‘re working on? Yarn looks yummy! 7y
AprilMae Thanks @cobwebmoth & @BethM I woke up today with it still. I'm trying to drown it in caffeine and advil on lunch 😞 7y
AprilMae @Samplergal I'm not on Ravelry! I'm making a blanket. I love caron cakes, the colors are amazing together!! 7y

I‘m cheating and podcasting instead of reading Natchez Burning. Small town murder though! So good. So funny. Taking this opportunity waiting for kiddo‘s choir rehearsal to finish to knit.

Karkar Love the colors ❤️ 7y

Tonight was final dress for the show i am in. We open tomorrow and I am excited to get in front of a crowd. For some pre-bedtime relaxing I will be working on a little something, mostly because my roku won't connect to the wireless.

GlassAsDiamonds What‘s a roku? 7y
TsundokuAleax @GlassAsDiamonds It is a streaming device that is similar to a Google Chromecast. 7y
megt Final dress and the opening show are always an exciting time! 7y
GlassAsDiamonds @TsundokuAleax the things I learn!! Thanks 😊😊😊😊 7y

First yarn project of the year is complete. I actually finished it a while ago, but let's pretend to not notice that part. This thing is huge and so colorful. I love it and cannot wait to cart it everywhere. P.s. all yarn is from independent dyers

BarbaraTheBibliophage Wow!! That‘ll look amazing on you! 7y
TsundokuAleax @BarbaraTheBibliophage Thank you. I am so excited that everyone loves the colors as much as I do. 7y

Remember the pair of wristwarmers I was #audioknitting and then had to weave in the ends? Well, my friend is over the moon. They reach past her elbow and she says they are perfect.

Pattern is totally my own, not from the tagged book.

Wife Lovely!😍 7y

I am now half way through with my RPG knitting project. It was so much fun to work through the game but double knit is kicking my butt. Need to take a hiatus from this project so I can get a few things done.

Michelle_mck Beautiful! 7y
TsundokuAleax @Michelle_mck Thank you! These colors look so much better in person. 7y

AmandaL That is gorgeous. I have not yet attempted color work, and I'm in awe of your skills. 7y
Lacythebookworm That's amazing! Good work 🙌😊 7y
TsundokuAleax @AmandaL I crochet left handed so it was strangely not hard for me to pick up knitting for this project. Also I am weird and double knitting made complete sense to me from the start. Find some smal squ 7y
TsundokuAleax @AmandaL continued drone above: small squares to practice with. There are some book mark patterns ravelry to you can try out. 7y
AmandaL Double knitting a bookmark sounds like a great idea! I'll search Ravelry for a pattern. (It's also a great excuse to step away from the infinity scarf I've been knitting for what feels like actual infinity.) 7y

Halfway done the Dorian Gray Fingerless Gloves! This achievement brought to you by The Tunnel Series 1, which I binge watched yesterday and today.
It's a bit lumpy because I knit the large size (the stitch count fit my wrist better), and the diamond lace is a bit wonky, but the self-striping yarn covers a multitude of sins 😉 Tomorrow I start the other glove.

britt_brooke Pretty!! 8y
DebinHawaii How did you like The Tunnel? I DVR'd it from PBS but have not gotten around to watching it yet. 8y
DebinHawaii And very cool gloves. I love the colors! 💙 8y
LeahBergen Very nice!! 8y
rabbitprincess @britt_brooke @LeahBergen Thanks! ☺️ @DebinHawaii It was compelling. The last few episodes got kind of bananas and predictable, but overall I was hooked. Also never using the Eurotunnel! 😳 8y
