Today in a Museum ...
The toilets had small shelves with hand towels that could be thrown into a basket after use so they would be washed. No throw away paper towels.
I had seen something like that before.
But never before had it been hand knit towels.
I found it absolutely delightful.

And if you're interested in the history of Bang&Olufsen - a great place to visit.
Tried the linen stitch for the second sock sole. As I expected (and why I tried the other stitch first) it's so dense that the top of the sock is significantly longer than the bottom. Experimenting with adding some short rows in the compensate because I can, but I definitely don't think this one's becoming a pattern. I love the way it looks, though. It would be tempting to use it on the top too, but it's probably not stretchy enough.

Best pic I can manage right now due to having a dog on me*, but this is just over a week's progress on the back panel of my #TopperCardigan project.
I've done well, but it's also only about a third done and let's just say I am so very not on track for the planned finish date at all!
Must. Knit. Faster. 
*he's on my foot, it's gone numb, why do dogs like to sleep on feet so much?!

News about a new, open-access journal covering original work in the intersection of mathematics and fibre/fiber arts.
Details are on the website :
Looks intriguing!
This *definitely* needs to get outside my bubble, so boosts are especially welcome, and if people can suggest more hashtags, that would be great.

More hashtags suggested ... adding here as an edit ... not all are applicable, but ... who knows!

Progress on the #fiasweater: I finished the body and it fits perfectly. Now the dilemma: will I start a new summer project and finish this in autumn (as it is too warm to be working on in summer) or will I crack on with this one (since it’ll be autumnlike weather this coming week anyways)? Conundrum. #nevernotknitting #knitting #wip #georgiafibers #zelfgebreid #breiproject

My wife showed me a picture on her Pinterest of a crocheted scrunchie that looked like a really big flower. I thought it might be fun to try knitting something similar. In the end it turned out nothing like the Pinterest one. My attempt at making petals didn’t really work because they are too small so instead there is just a vague curvy pentagon shape. I think it works as a scrunchie though. I did a provisional caston and made a circle in the round and tried to make the petals with short rows. Then I picked up the provisional caston and did the same thing again to make the back side. Then I just put a real elastic hair tie in the middle and joined the two sides together with a three-needle i-coord castoff. #knitting
Well hell, folks. I knew this project would take an eternity, but damn 
it took a ridiculous amount of evers to get through the first yarn cake and it felt like it never got smaller. Taking a break from the main body to add an i-cord neckline for stability. Then going in with the second yarn cake to add a bit more length. Hanging in there because the ombre is so beautiful and the fabric drape is amazing

Done just in time to take a new project on a trip! Just some finishing left to do, but that can wait until after my trip #knitting
