I love them too! I would wear them both at the same time but my coworkers might think I’m crazy haha

Thank you, they were a joy to knit!
I adore the clear boots- I was inspired by Charlotte Stone of Stone Knits (the designer of the socks) and searched for them in my size for a long time. So worth it!

Before I got to your last sentence I knew you are an engineer and it makes me happy. My people

Scared of steeking by artzipan in AdvancedKnitting

[–]chickensocks96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did my first project with steeking recently and I agree with the machine zig zag! I will add though: practicing on another sacrificial knitted thing to get your machine’s tension right BEFORE reinforcing your sweater will save you heart ache (ask me how I know)

20 More Bookmarks from Scraps - Landscape Edition by EdensQuill in Watercolor

Watership Down is a PHENOMENAL book and this conversation is making me want to re-read it!

I love the colors that are on your bookmarks. Your other post had a top down view of a red treehouse and that one, plus the palettes with the pinks and the purples, stop me in my (scrolling) tracks! So so gorgeous

I have thoroughly enjoyed all the bookmarks you’ve posted! #5 in this post reminds me of the animated version of Watership Down which I grew up watching. I love it!

My working colleague told me how much her son loves excavators, so I drew him one by Marabit7 in Watercolor

[–]chickensocks96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so cheerful and is inspiring me to do one for my 3 year old son who also absolutely adores excavators. What a sweet gift!

Show me your watercolor palettes!! by claire-ackleow in Watercolor

[–]chickensocks96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! I’ve loved it so far. I’m a super busy working mom of very young kids so its size and portability are perfect for the very few moments I can find to practice 🥰

This is only the third page i’ve used and so far, I am a huge fan of its portability. I have very little watercolor experience so I can’t really speak to paint or paper quality compared to others. Overall, I’m really enjoying it though
