Got a new book today. Can’t wait get stuck into some of these patterns. I love Nicola Allison’s patterns

Tried a longer row count (140) and I think I found the right combo for my yarn and machine! As a bonus, this self-striping yarn makes for a really cute beanie 😍

I love working with semi-automatic tricotin, however, when I have finished a project where there are several tubes and I will have to assemble, I find it so long! To help me continue while being motivated, when I finish a tube, I close it so when I still have to gather everything it is less long and more encouraging. And is it the same for you? J'adore travailler avec le tricotin semi-automatique, cependant, quand j'ai terminé un projet où il y a plusieurs tubes et que je devrai assembler, je trouve cela tellement long! Pour m'aider à continuer tout en étant motivé, lorsque je termine un tube, je le ferme ainsi quand il me reste à rassembler le tout c'est moins long et plus encourageant. Et vous, est-ce pareil?

Knitting and espionage! One enterprising Belgian bubby sat at her window during WWI, seemingly completely focused on her knitting. In fact, she was carefully observing the comings and goings of the train nearby, and recorded the timetable in dropped stitches. Later, she risked her life by handing over the finished fabric to a fellow spy in the Belgian Resistance.

…love your new profile photo! Nice to see you!
