I'll be real, I make a lot of queer stuff. 🩵🩷🤍

I made this all the way back in like June, and I think it's still one of my favourite makes - it brings me joy every time I look at my bedroom door!

The pattern/chart is by Indigochilduk, and I originally bought it because I wanted to give tapestry crochet a go. After spending a whole evening on it, I was still finding it super hard - mostly I was having difficulties figuring out how to coordinate my hands between multiple balls of yarn, and idk if that's because I probably have dyspraxia or if it's something everyone really struggles with when they're new to tapestry crochet?

In any case, at a certain point I realised I wasn't actually enjoying myself anymore so I stopped. But by that point I was REALLY hyped about the pattern so I decided to knit it instead!

Ended up doing it as a double knit - purely because I love the texture of double knits and hadn't made one in years!

For those people who don't have instagram here are the details.

The Secret Stash-busting Sock-a-Long is starting in January 2025! Organised by 111Windmills.

The idea is to pick sock yarns or sock sets from your stash, wrap them up so each one is a secret and then randomly pick one of your secret yarns each month for a new sock cast on! You can pair them with the patterns of your choice!

The Sock-a-Long will happen on Instagram and on the free Discord channel (link below). The thread is already up and running with people sharing and chatting all things socks!!

You can pick as many yarns as you like from your stash (or shop new yarns)

To get started, pick the sock sets or sock yarn, and wrap each one separately. You can do the same with your knitting patterns if you like!
Each month (or at whatever time frame you think you can manage) pick out your next sock set and pattern and knit through them all while sharing and supporting fellow knitters!

OPTIONS:
- bundle the yarns SEPARATELY from the patterns, and get a mystery pattern/yarn combo
- bundle the yarns TOGETHER with your chosen pattern for that yarn
- wrap the yarns ONLY, and select the pattern at the time of getting your mystery yarn
- any other combo you prefer

This year I succumbed and ordered an Advent Mystery box from eleventyonewindmills.com.au
I've usually avoided them because I'm bnot into the usual reds, pink, often in them. But this one had me intrigued.

I'm up to Day 4!

Lots of hand made goodies from 111windmills.

Plus all these wonderful dyers have included yarn in the magical adventure!

Yarn arrived, pattern organised. Ready.

I'm about to start a colour-pooling scarf (once I finish this month's blanket square). Never tried this knitting technique before so should be interesting.
Basically you knit a simple diagonal lace pattern using the main colour (in this case the mauves & greys) then whenever you reach the contrast (rust) you make cluster stitches.
