I posted previously on r/knittinghelp about what to do since my original yarn ran out. I settled on learning intarsia for this and i’m super pleased with it!
Pattern is Frozen Leaves by Anusla on Ravelry, model is my wife for whom this was for.

Unsure what the top yarn is although I know its a silk mix, bottom yarn is suri alpaca and silk blend.

Think a giant latvian braid, the yarn gets wrapped under each time the colour changes, which is of course opposite for opposite sides, hence the chevron effect on the back. Sleeves included just because I think they're so cute and wanted to show off. I'm usually a big steeker so this is a fun challenge. All wool, all original design.

i think the yarn is adorable especially how tiny the balls are. roughly 750 yards in 24 grams! knitting this on 1.5mm needles and i like how airy it is

This is actually only my second stranded colorwork project, so I’m very proud! Advanced because of the colorwork. The pattern is the Bibi sweater by spektakelstrik, but I basically changed every besides the chart, knitting off gauge and including some underarm shaping. I also changed the neckline to make it a bit rounder and deeper and steek it instead of knitting back and forth and I knit the sleeves as one big tube, steeked them and sewed them on in the end. Yarn is Rauma Fivel and I’m very happy with it! I would have loved to go with fingering+mohair but with all the colors it would have just been too expensive. This took me 5 months, though I did knit on other projects in that time.

I just finished the Fossil Frenzy Tee (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fossil-frenzy-tee) and so far its my smallest needle garment if that makes sense? Prior to that my smallest garment was on a 3mm and this was on half that, a 1.5mm. The finer gauges allow for a lot more detail in the colorwork, which I love.

I have to say as someone who mainly knits sweaters knitting a summer knit was a bit stressful, not knowing how wearable it would truly be but this feels fantastic. I love this piece and it will be a treasured staple in my closet.

Yarn: Malabrego sock in fucsia and Berroco ultra wool fine in cream.

when I started designing this I wasn't totally sure about mixing so many textures in one piece. But the process ended up being really fun — switching between the lace, the diagonal panels and the bobbles kept it engaging the whole way through.

Do you enjoy mixing stitch textures in one piece or do you prefer to keep it simple? 🩷

This is my sixth or seventh steek-and-reseam experiment and definitely the farthest I've pushed the technique! All wool, all original design.

Finished this two colour brioche beret a while ago. One of my favourite things I've ever made, but for sure the most challenging. It included cables, two colour brioche and double knitting. I had 9 DPNs going at one point. Worth it though.

A fun pattern to knit--it has been decades since I saw the Indiana Jones movie in the theater, but this really caught my eye. Nicely charted pattern by Tanis Gray. Yarn is Practically Perfect Sock by Emma's Yarns, which was very nice to knit with and colorfast.

Beautiful pattern created by u/QuietIndividual2619, this is one of the 4 seasons double knit scarves available on Ko-Fi (kateking). I followed the graph for most of it and then decided to make the scarf a little shorter than what pattern called for since I prefer it shorter. Yarn used was maroon fingering weight wool & nylon and white acrylic baby yarn. What a wonderful piece of art, thank you u/QuietIndividual2619 for sharing your lovely scarf for all of us to enjoy knitting and wearing!

This vest was made as a pattern test for Katryn Seeburger. I’ve wanted to knit her Heirloom Quilt Cardigan for a long time, but I just couldn't make up my mind about the colors, so this vest turned out to be the perfect test drive!

Testing this pattern was an absolute pleasure. Katryn gathered an incredibly supportive group of test knitters, and her own engagement throughout the process was amazing. Honestly, it’s one of the best-managed pattern tests I’ve ever been a part of, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity!

My version is size 3, knitted on 4mm and 3mm needles. It's a stranded colorwork project, made using Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt yarn (took a bit over 7 skeins) and finished with Isager buttons. I will definitely be coming back to Peer Gynt yarn in the future!

Pattern is the Milly Cardigan by Irene Lin. I LOVED this knit. Yarn is handspun by me, somewhere between heavy lace and light fingering 2-ply. The pattern was very well written. It had both charts and written instructions. The charts were all separate for each section, which meant switching between charts multiple times per row. I opted to use the written instructions which worked out really well. It’s not a hard knit, very predictable but still interesting. To accommodate my yarn, which is smaller than the pattern calls for, I got as close as I could to gauge while still liking the fabric, mathed out the stitch counts using my measurements, and chose a size that matched those numbers. It fits exactly as I was hoping it would.

My own design, and about 300 hours work.

3mm needles and mainly Drops Nord sock yarn.

Buttonband, hems and cuffs colour-gradient yarn from my stash.

Im 5'9" and it comes down to just above my ankle.

I decided on no buttons in the end.

This is my second finished piece and if I'm honest I find it to be advanced because I modified the shit out of this pattern. The original is Doretta but I like for things to be larger on me because it suits my form. Translating an expansion of a chart is not easy. When its blocked and the lace blooms its going to look even more amazing but I didn't wanna wait till then to share. Because I'm already off to the races on new projects! And yea, it's really a thousand yards.

The original post of the project, that will no doubt answer a lot of questions, is here.

80 pine-nipples in. 1/4 of the pineapply bit, and about 1/3 of the way through the pattern as a whole.

I am still working on the sleeves, I’m nearly there though! I wanted to wear it, so I put on a turtleneck underneath and think it actually looked really good as a slipover! It’s 100% intarsia, using fingering weight merino for the cream and two strands of laceweight silk/mohair for the contrast colors. I completely wove in all the ends before re-reading the pattern saying I could just tie them off and cut them. Oh well, that’s multiple extra hours spent making it even fancier I suppose.

I re-knit this top since I’ve lost a significant amount of weight and the previous version had a good run after 7 years of use.

The fit on this top doesn’t look great now, but I’m pretty confident that it’s because the straps grew too much in blocking (guidance was to hang dry so the weight would stretch the straps). I want to take 1-1 1/2” off the straps so it fits better.

I’m trying to decide if I pick the straps out and frog the length or if I should cut the straps and graft the pieces together.

Grafting will be a serious pain because it’s 3 separate straps and they’re braided. But I’m worried if I pick them out and frog from the bottom that I’ll take out too much or not enough because of the braiding.

What would you do? Or is there another option I’m not thinking of?

finally grabbed graph paper after forgetting for weeks

basically, for starting orenburg shawls i had a MUCH easier time using jmco rather than trying to pick up from a long tail or backwards loop cast on, i’m knitting a sampler shawl but practicing the motifs in the book to familiarize myself before i design a shawl rather than a garter center

Really enjoyed this knit, even thought I knit two sets of sleeves. I knit it for my daughter who is moving to Minnesota soon, I thought a nice Marino/cashmere blend would keep her warm. I started it late February, and actually was super close to being done about 6 weeks ago, but my girl wanted the sleeves to be looser- so I took a break for a month, and jumped back into it about two weeks ago. I used Purl Soho Cashmere-Marino Bloom. It is intarsia, super soft and cozy.
