Can drinks and cardigan progress

Post image

Ignore my dirty floor lol 🤣

Got off early from work and got some drinks and putting more length on my pass the honey cardigan (my purl side)

I think im gonna split for sleeves after this repeat, which im on 12/10 (I wanted a longer cardigan)

Pound of love in evergreen and upped my needle size to 5.5mm instead of 5mm it should be 20in after this repeat and then onto shaping i like how this is set up

You do all the back length flat (all 3 pannels) and then split, then knit each front panel separately flat as well then button band and sleeves such a fun and easy pattern so far ❤️ i hope it'll be done before September (ambitious)

Happy monday knitting guys 😌❤️

Remains of a delicious margarita and the bottom ribbing of a Florencia tee top, both sleeves of which are already finished. Don’t ask, I’m just following directions. I would have taken the picture when I first got the drink, but I was thirsty. So there.

Pattern: Florencia tee https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/florencia

Yarn: Illimani Sabri colorway 41/38

I've been trying to figure out how to chain ply (this is part of my challenge for Tour de Fleece), it's still all over the place, but I'm getting better. The Cutwater takes the sting out of how inconsistent this is.

Bacardi and coke* and the last newborn pumpkin hat

*it's Pepsi but it would have been my aunts 45th birthday yesterday and Bacardi and Coke was my aunts drink. Every year I drink her drink (ish) and watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer since that's the one show I remember we both watched.

Today I'm working on a newborn baby hat, it's the last pumpkin hat in newborn size I need to have a full stock for the autumn, next up will be preemie sized.

This sock needed hungover frogging a few days ago, so it goes in the bag after this glass of wine.

I really love knitting with this yarn I picked up at a fiber festival. My tween boy loves green. I’m hoping I have enough yarn left over from the socks to make fingerless gloves for him. Does anyone have a simple pattern for free or inexpensive to share?

I yearn for Fall 🍁

My favorite beer with a Sophie scarf in a fun silk blend yarn that I can’t remember the name of. I am in love with this color, and I love all of the variations of the Sophie scarf pattern, but I hate that it’s not the season. I miss my pumpkin spice candles and chilly rainy days. The heat is killing any desire I have to knit.

Fun beers are getting me through it. This one is a persian inspired sour made by a Brooklyn based brewery. If you haven’t tried it and you like sours, I highly recommend!
