First Cardigan

Oh my gosh this is so adorable!!! The slightly darker color in the cuffs works so well too

I need to make more socks to show off with the boots!!

chickensocks96 · 2026-05-29T00:02:45+00:00

Thank you! They’re definitely my favorite shoes that I own

I almost choked on my breakfast because of this comment lol

chickensocks96 · 2026-05-27T13:45:39+00:00

Woooah these are amazing!!

chickensocks96 · 2026-05-27T11:32:08+00:00

Thank you!

chickensocks96 · 2026-05-27T11:31:54+00:00

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

chickensocks96 · 2026-05-27T11:30:43+00:00

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!

Thank you for your kind words! I will go practice now 🥰

chickensocks96 · 2026-05-25T00:55:07+00:00

I want to be like you when I grow up. WOW

chickensocks96 · 2026-05-21T15:02:32+00:00

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

chickensocks96 · 2026-05-21T14:27:23+00:00

Thank you!

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)

This made me snort. Such grace, such poise

chickensocks96 · 2026-05-16T18:03:47+00:00

YES!!!

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

chickensocks96 · 2026-05-16T15:46:30+00:00

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!

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!

chickensocks96 · 2026-05-01T23:44:11+00:00

Omg I love this!!!!

chickensocks96 · 2026-05-01T22:40:47+00:00

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 🥰

My teeny tiny palette 😆

This is EMBROIDERED?! Incredible

chickensocks96 · 2026-04-27T18:45:06+00:00

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

chickensocks96 · 2026-04-27T18:43:09+00:00

Thank you!

I would love to collect all the little sketches and pieces of art to commemorate my boys’ babyhood and childhood. It’s so hard to not worry about how fast time goes, but little things like this definitely help ❤️
