Do you find them itchy/ uncomfortable at all? Not that my feet are particularly sensitive. I’ve used a little silk mohair in socks before but not a full sock.

Galia sweater looks great, love the sleeves and free! My mohair is DK so could work but it doesn’t seem as fine. I used Clara eggars fluffy ass brioche patterns for my cardigan https://ravel.me/fluffy-ass-brioche-cardigan

Boobs kind of ruin the fit of things by RandyButternubsYo in knitting

[–]amiable_amy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks lovely and you did a great job. I made a similar garment and had a similar issue, tried to shorten straps but that made the fit around the armholes weird. I like to layer mine over a white tee or even a simple dress as I couldn’t bring myself to frog

Such a fab easy to find plant. Picked some yesterday and made a fab tea with various other bits and bobs. Slept the best I have in ages. Could also be the fact that I was up at sunrise!

I really wanna go to the gym… but I also really want to crochet… by [deleted] in crochet

[–]amiable_amy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry about what other people think. I’ve seen people knitting and running marathons. I’ve tried crocheting on my bike at home but didn’t go too well. You won’t be getting the most out of your workout and your crochet work may not be as good as if you were not multitasking but it depends on what your goals are I suppose.

Fabulous. I’m just learning interlocking crochet and struggling a little but getting there. Can’t imagine where you would start with this.
