#fiberarts #knitting my February Knitalong scarf is stalled, I've gotten sucked into an old computer game, ordering gnomes around. Darn you, Gnomoria. https://octodon.social/media/DZFk8-5cUDV84g4CbZs

Deliberate holes, hmm. living in the frozen north, I'm not that into lace. I tend to do more sweaters shawls hats, but I do have one lace project I did for my mother in law .

For texture, I love knitting braids of all sorts. Here is a sweater I made to recreate one of my sister's favorites that she wore out.

My most elaborate colorowork to date has been a Dragon boat sweater for my husband.
(Ravelry link https://goo.gl/t4euka )
It's based on the Dragon Boat Jacket here.

I've got one more eyelet to do in the first section in the MC, then i'm supposed to do another mesh block in CC and another in MC and then stripes and then the seed stitch.
But I just measured it, it's already 90 inches (228 cm) so I may cutting back to 6 eyelet repeats, and fewer stripes. I have a lot of yarn left, but I'm thinking it's getting long enough. https://octodon.social/media/X1fukJBzRdbLbLLp6TQ
I'l liking the knitting on this scarf.

Well, my plan to use November to knit a sweater (instead of doing NaNoWriMo) didn't totally work out. I did manage to get the sleeves done, I also went to a gaming convention, read a 900 page book, and went to visit my mom for 4 days. https://octodon.social/media/Zo8AnkTvlxGMzACuP7A
