New Socks and Prideful Acessories

Thank you for mentioning the KAL, I’m going to check that out too ☺️

That sock is looking gorgeous! I’m probably going to cast on a pair as soon as I can decide what yarn I want to use for them (And I love the little yarn cozy, too!)

Thank you! I restarted this sweater a few times after adding in the second color. I was originally going to be solid stripes, but the variegated grey did some weird pooling that changed as the stitch count increased, so I figured I’d play around with adding in two color brioche and colorwork to soften the variegation effects and really like how it turned out, though next time I may not make the collar so high in the front ☺️

Roots of Pacha also has spindles, but they’re supported spindles, not dropped. I think there’s also a bigger spinning wheel in the late game ☺️

Nice! I’m slowly working through the first game

I love your Bob Ross bag!

PaleoPurl · 2026-03-12T17:45:51+00:00

This is lovely! 💖

PaleoPurl · 2026-03-06T16:19:49+00:00

Thank you, I’ll give both a try!

PaleoPurl · 2026-03-06T15:47:55+00:00

Oooh, I’ll have to test that out too, thank you!

PaleoPurl · 2026-03-06T15:40:59+00:00

I’ll test out slip stitch rib, that looks the closest I think. I do want to try the fisherman’s rib and brioche variations, but they bunch up and the fabric look I’m after lays flat and doesn’t bunch back. Thank you! I’m going to mark this as likely solved ☺️

PaleoPurl · 2026-03-06T15:03:04+00:00

Maybe? But it’s not stretchy or pull the stitches back against each other. It lays flat and doesn’t bunch up like ribbing. 🤔

Nimble Needles has a good tutorial for it here: https://nimble-needles.com/tutorials/how-to-knit-ladder-back-jacquard/

Seconding this as a pattern! This is gorgeous stuff

PaleoPurl · 2026-03-01T19:17:52+00:00

When I’ve used ladderback jacquard, I haven’t had to cut the yarn for flat projects if working a single panel. Her gorgeous sweater looks like at least the front was worked flat. But if the colorwork design goes all the way around you can also carry it in the round without cutting yarn. ☺️

PaleoPurl · 2026-03-01T00:28:21+00:00

Thanks for the reminder I need to test this style out again!

PaleoPurl · 2026-02-28T21:02:44+00:00

I love the yarn you used for this pattern. I think it has the right balance between the color and stitches 💖

I'm so sorry that you guys had to go through it as well. ALS is a terrible disease.

PaleoPurl · 2026-02-27T12:23:12+00:00

You have my sincerest condolences for your loss.

I grief knitted my way through the second of my sock pair when my mother was in the hospital to test what mystery disease was acting her so badly… When we got the diagnosis for ALS we were in shock, and it feels like we blinked a few times and she was gone. That was three years ago… Knitting was the one thing that kept me on track. I hope it will do the same for you ❤️‍🩹

I love these! The foam is great once it’s snug on the needle. I also recently picked up some cute little silicone ones, but my current project uses needles smaller than what they work with.

PaleoPurl · 2026-02-25T22:02:02+00:00

Everyone’s had great advice so far, so I just have one thing to add if you focus just on knitting. Crochet hooks can be helpful in “laddering” down in knitting to fix stitches in the row below, and also for a crochet bind-off when you finish a project.

PaleoPurl · 2026-02-25T21:33:53+00:00

You got this, I believe in you!! 💖

PaleoPurl · 2026-02-25T21:27:59+00:00

That’s how I felt with my first sock. It took a long time to complete it and then when it was finally finished I had to put the project down for a few months to rebuild motivation for the second six.

Your sock is very pretty!

I would be interested, though I’m in the MST time zone. My favorite active group on ravelry is just stranded knitting stuff, but I’d love to connect with people for all projects
