 @0487304b I did try knitting from opposite ends to see if I could get them to be somewhere close to symmetrical but it didn't work at all!

No regrets though I love when weird yarn just does its weird thing 😁 
 Feel like I've talked about nothing but #Knitting this week, I swear I still do other crafts, this is just what happens when the weather cools down.

Anyway, reporting in with my first #FallFinishAlong FO!

These were made from a discontinued pattern (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/double-eyelet-rib-toe-up-socks) and in one-off hand-dyed yarn, so I can't give you a ton of useful info, but look how fun they are!

 Baby knitting experts, I need your advice!

A friend of mine is pregnant, and asked if I could possibly do a new version of this old doll someone made for her when she was a baby.

Absolutely, happy to!

Except I have no idea what kind of yarn is both baby-friendly and also will last for 40 years like this one has.

I can probably make up a pattern, but if anyone knows one similar so I don't have to that would also be amazing.

Pointers very welcome, thank you all!

 A while back now and despite my best efforts, I ended up as moderator of the main #Knitting community over on #Lemmy.

It's a lovely little group with some much more talented knitters than me, but as with all such things we could probably do with a little more content.

If you're a knitter and you might be interested in cross-posting your own stuff straight from #Mastodon to the community on Lemmy, to get more eyes on your work and meet new folks, feel free to reach out for info on how it works!
