Hello @knitting community, can you help me out with some inspiration?

I have a bunch of scrap (about half a ball each) sock yarn, all self striping, self texturizing. I'm looking for ideas (and possibly patterns?) to knit something other than socks with it.
Leg warmers? Phone pouch? Something else entirely?

I'd prefer something I can actually use (wear) instead of a "vanity" project (a tea cosy would be pointless for example, what with me having no teapot to cosy up).

Thankful for any input. 🖖🏻

Out sick and away from the computer helped my #crocheting this week ....

Another #crochet #wip is now completed. A #gingham style #throw using the #griddle #stitch and carrying the three #colors of #yarn along.

Super easy stitch although this pattern does, slightly, show the yarn being carried. Great pattern to work on when binge watching TV.

I might add another row or two on the border. 🤔

A close-up shot captures a cozy, hand-crocheted blanket draped over a dark, textured surface, likely part of outdoor furniture. The blanket features a charming gingham check pattern in three shades of green: a deep forest green forming the solid checks and the border, a lighter sage green, and a creamy off-white creating the alternating squares. The texture of the crochet is evident, with small, raised stitches forming the fabric. The blanket is positioned diagonally across the frame, with a portion cascading down the side of the furniture, revealing its woven texture. The background is softly blurred, showcasing an outdoor setting with green grass, several trees with visible trunks and foliage, and a wooden fence in the distance. Hints of a light-colored house are visible through the trees on the left side of the frame. The overall lighting suggests it's daytime, with natural light illuminating the scene, casting soft shadows.

Gounk Goes Gwalf?!

In an effort to help with funding for flood recovery, I am selling this hand-made wooly lace shawl!

Pattern is Ashton shawl by Dee O'Keefe.* Added another leaf motif row before doing the border. Measures a general 60 by 30 inches.

100% wool, so it will be itchy to some folks. Yarn is KnitPicks Palette Fingering held double. Unknown color because I found the yarn at a local Goodwill years ago, but it is a nice neutral brown

I am selling this lovely thing for US$500, starting price. All proceeds for this will go towards my flood recovery, namely buying myself a bed.

Ashton shawl, done by me, hanging from an armless torso mannequin.
Back view of the shawl. You see the large leaf pattern in better detail.
A closer look at the back.

Vanishing Culture: Punch Card Knitting | Internet Archive Blogs

Punch cards are a fascinating binary data storage format that aren’t just history—they’re still used by knitting machines today! Thanks to the Internet Archive and other collections, we still have access to historic punch cards, but there are some technical challenges to using them in the format they’re stored in. Meet a few folx working on those challenges.

@altbot

The image shows a patterned grid labeled "CARD 1." The grid is composed of numerous small squares, each containing either a black dot or being left blank. The pattern is predominantly diagonal, with clusters of black dots forming a zigzag design. The black dots are outlined in red, making the pattern more distinct. The grid is numbered from 1 to 60 on the right side, with numbers increasing from top to bottom. The pattern appears to be symmetrical along the vertical axis, with the design elements mirrored on either side. The overall layout is organized and structured, with the black dots creating a visually striking contrast against the white background.

#ContemplativeKnitting #Introduction During the Easter season, I’m using the book Contemplative #Knitting by Julie Cicora bookshop.org/a/13969/978164065 for my daily devotional & tooting my #SpiritualReflections here. Each chapter will have its own thread & I’ll hashtag the book & the chapter. It’s possible there will be multiple reflections per chapter & each will be tooted as a reply to the first toot of the chapter. Feel free to join the conversation or add your own reflection(s) to the thread.

The Introduction asks how important doing things the “right” way is. I’d like to say it isn’t, but the truth is I was brought up preoccupied with doing things “right” & understanding that until I understand how the rules work, I can’t break them. As a result, I’m a bit of a perfectionist who often abandons things when I can’t do them “right” or get bored trying. That’s why I’m purposely keeping this practice vague & taught myself to #knit around age 12 or 13. I’m not the rebel I’d like to be 1/?
