Hi all, merry 2024! It looks like my instance is back to federating properly so to celebrate, an update post!

I’ve been gently reminded (thanks, whoever that was in my YT comments 😅) that while I was going about my new year business, catching up on work and doing the hoovering and generally feeling like a real on-top-of-stuff adult, I’d actually forgotten to update our monthly knitting theme 🤷‍♀️

So, first of all, apologies for that one! Please accept this sock yarn porn as partial repayment .

I thought I’d wait a couple days into January to do it, until lemm.ee federation was fixed, and then forgot. Which is maybe slightly better than completely forgetting. Sort of. In a way.

Anyway. Given that we’re somehow halfway through the month already, my body and mind are a mess, it’s Saturday evening and also I see you’re still enthusiastically posting socks, I’ve made an executive mod decision to just extend the sock theme and move “knitting fails” to February instead.

I hope nobody is waiting in the wings, desperate to post their fails, and now super disappointed. But if you are, just post them anyway, let’s face it these rules are more like guidelines and I promise you’ll still get counted 😀

Hope everyone’s having a good start to the year, and you can probably expect me to be this disorganised every January so if anyone wants to be co-moderator of this place to avoid it happening again…well…my DMs are open!

      I’m so excited to cast it on, but am only halfway through my second sock of the pair I planned to finish in early December! And then in my hubris I’d already caked up another skein in preparation for the next pair (also planned for December 😬). So this one can just look pretty on my yarn shelf for a little bit lol

          They’re just such good travel projects I try to make sure there’s always one pair cast on and ready to be picked up at a moment’s notice 😄

    I don’t know a damn thing about knitting, but I saw your picture and now I really want some socks made out of this yarn, haha. It’s beautiful, I love the colors.
