first ones are mine, second are the ones I knit for my gf for our anniversary after doing the autistic thing ever and choosing the most visually complicated pattern I know over a (evil) basic slipper crochet pattern lmao

I feel it is important to note that the colours on my gf’s sync up as well, but the picture I took of both is much worse quality, so I picked the lone glove 😅

I'm looking for recommendations on YouTubers/Vloggers (long form content) that I can put on while knitting. Not a tutorial/tips only channel.

I am looking for content creators with ACTUAL YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.

Lately there has been a big boom of people new to the knitting/fiber arts scene, and documenting their progress. While I can see the appeal in that, this is not what I am looking for! I want to listen to someone that actually knows what they're talking about.

Thank you in advance! I'd also love to discuss this topic, and maybe what you like to see in a content creator as an advanced knitter.

It’s finally done! I cast on the Indian Nights Blanket in mid-October 2024, and 644 days later — 1 year and 9 months — I’m calling it finished.

I knit this in a custom colorway I put together using Knitting for Olive Merino, rather than the palette called for in the pattern. Choosing and balancing the colors was a project in itself, but I love how the combination came out.

For those who’ve followed my progress posts, the last big hurdle was the finishing. I covered the steeks with a “steek sandwich,” worked with two very long needles that ran around the entire perimeter of the blanket. I also added a folded picot hem of my own design, which gave the edges a clean, polished finish I’m really happy with. The edge was probably the most painstaking part of the project, but I feel like it really elevates the blanket with that doubled fabric making a frame.

This project pushed me on colorwork, steeking, and finishing techniques, and I learned something new at nearly every stage. Happy to answer questions about the colorway, the steek sandwich, the picot hem, or anything else.
