When making contiguous shoulder sweaters, I have struggled with the increasing on every row leaving holes. I went to look on Ravelry and found this technique! I've not really seen it mentioned anywhere so I figured to post it here to hopefully help someone else too! Links in comments! 🧶 #knitsky

First fully self drafted sweater project! I've had to frog it a few times but right now it's going well! Hopefully i'm not too ambitious. Contiguous construction is my favorite!🥰🧶 #neuloosi #knitting #knitsky #fiberarts
Blocked and finished my first cable mittens! The cables are more visible irl. These are going to a charity to be gifted to someone🥰🧶 #knitsky #neuloosi #fiberarts #craftivism
I have been thinking about the difference in charity and gift giving lately. Somehow i've kind of grown to not really like the word charity. Obviously it carries with it a lot of baggage and not all of it is good. It often implies a kind of hierarchy of the ones who give and the ones in need.
Different styles of charity mittens in the making! First ever cable knit mittens, they were surprisingly fun to make. What kind of wrist would you do on the white and pink ones? #knitsky #neuloosi #craftivism #fiberarts
Trying on my first ever corset project. There are some issues that need to be changed for the next one. Pattern heavily modified from de Gracieuse. #historicalcostuming #corsetry #handsewing #victorianfashion
You have no idea how happy I am having these tiny parts of my first pattern draft in Different sizes?? A collar luckily doesn't have too much things to grade. Still a long way (and a lot of math) to go but I feel great🥰🧶 #knitsky #knitting #neuloosi #fiberarts
A pair of mittens I knit a while back for a local charity helping the unhoused people here. A great stashbusting project. Will hopefully be doing a few pairs more. #knitsky 🧶 #neuloosi #craftivism #knitting #fiberarts

I have been reading on and swatching so many different short row placements for my collar pattern project. And!! The front lays completely flat without any bunching or puckering. Highly recommending this blog post: www.susannawinter.net/post/how-to-... #knitsky #neuloosi #knitting 🧶
