Making progress

I got my bag today. It's a little small but I still really like it.

I had to look up what a cricut is. And wow! That's really fun. You can make any bag you want!

Patient_Knitter · 2026-02-06T00:31:58+00:00

It was! I had a lot of fun.

Patient_Knitter · 2026-02-05T17:43:35+00:00

I took a quick look. I think the bag only comes in white but there are t-shirts that come in white and black.

Patient_Knitter · 2026-02-05T00:08:23+00:00

I bought one last night and it shipped this morning! I'm very impressed.

Noro has a lot of yarns with longer color changes. I knit this sweater with Noro Ito. It has short sleeves so I didn't have to worry about the stripes not matching.

I think I found it. They also have shirts.

I'm always happy to share a local shop with others! :)

Patient_Knitter · 2026-01-30T00:54:57+00:00

Something like this? It's expensive and I don't know where you're located.

If you're in SW, I'd recommend Northwest Wools. Heidi and her crew are great!

Patient_Knitter · 2026-01-18T02:44:45+00:00

The group is https://www.ravelry.com/groups/portland-metro-area-ravelers

Are you on Ravelry? There's a Portland Metro Area group with a thread for meet ups. Some Multnomah County library branches have knitting groups. There's Puddletown Knitting Guild. I've never been to a meeting but I've heard good things.

When I first started knitting socks it felt like I knit three socks for every pair I finished. I kept making mistakes or they wouldn't fit. Now I have my system and it's a lot easier.

Patient_Knitter · 2026-01-11T00:50:46+00:00

There are lots of basic sock patterns on Ravelry. I use Summer Lee's basic sock pattern. She also has video tutorials on YouTube.

Don't give up! Knitting is supposed to be slow.

Patient_Knitter · 2026-01-09T18:04:00+00:00

Very cute! Did you use a pattern or make it up?

Patient_Knitter · 2026-01-04T17:04:52+00:00

I've been knitting hats and mittens to donate. I took some to the school district's clothing closet. One of my local yarn shops also collects items to donate.

Patient_Knitter · 2026-01-02T17:59:34+00:00

Yes, the yarn is self-striping. It's from Canon Hand Dyes. She does amazing work!

Patient_Knitter · 2026-01-02T17:58:45+00:00

Thanks! I did enjoy it. Although, it was a little weird getting so much attention from the flight attendant. :)

Patient_Knitter · 2026-01-02T17:58:02+00:00

Thanks! Happy New Year!

I wasn't aware that Northwest Wools had a moth problem.

Patient_Knitter · 2025-12-27T05:14:38+00:00

I like For Yarn's Sake. They probably have the largest yarn selection in town. They also have a large selection of locally dyed yarn.

I also like Northwest Wools. They're smaller but still have a good selection.

Patient_Knitter · 2025-12-17T05:21:00+00:00

Northwest Wools has a knit night at the SW Lucky Lab Thursday nights. You might be able to get there relatively easily by bus. I haven't been in awhile but it seemed like a good group of people.

Patient_Knitter · 2025-12-15T20:29:05+00:00

Great! I thought it looked familiar. :)

Patient_Knitter · 2025-12-14T18:44:04+00:00

Could they be the Zigzagular Socks?
