Hello @knitting community, can you help me out with some inspiration?
I have a bunch of scrap (about half a ball each) sock yarn, all self striping, self texturizing. I'm looking for ideas (and possibly patterns?) to knit something other than socks with it.
Leg warmers? Phone pouch? Something else entirely?
I'd prefer something I can actually use (wear) instead of a "vanity" project (a tea cosy would be pointless for example, what with me having no teapot to cosy up).
Thankful for any input. 🖖🏻
(Edit: added a pic of the kind of yarn for clarity)
Out sick and away from the computer helped my #crocheting this week ....
Another #crochet #wip is now completed. A #gingham style #throw using the #griddle #stitch and carrying the three #colors of #yarn along.
Super easy stitch although this pattern does, slightly, show the yarn being carried. Great pattern to work on when binge watching TV.
I might add another row or two on the border. 🤔

Meet my very first assigned pooling yarn and it’s berry special!
I paired this playful colourway with a strawberry stitch, and watching those little berries pop up exactly where I wanted them feels like magic.
Available in my store through my website and Etsy later this week ✨
This is what happens when yarn and stitches dance together.

In an effort to help with funding for flood recovery, I am selling this hand-made wooly lace shawl!
Pattern is Ashton shawl by Dee O'Keefe.* Added another leaf motif row before doing the border. Measures a general 60 by 30 inches.
100% wool, so it will be itchy to some folks. Yarn is KnitPicks Palette Fingering held double. Unknown color because I found the yarn at a local Goodwill years ago, but it is a nice neutral brown
I am selling this lovely thing for US$500, starting price. All proceeds for this will go towards my flood recovery, namely buying myself a bed.

Hand knit socks take time, but so do good things. My latest sock pattern will be up for testing on Yarnpond soon, keep an eye out if you’d like to join! Slow progress is still progress. #knit #crochet #yarn #ravelry #testknitsocks #testknit #handmade #handknitsocks
Off the needles! Same yarn but a different pattern for each sock. Both knit toe up but a different heal construction. #knitting #handmade #SockYarn #sockknitting #handknit #knittingmastodon #knit
Vanishing Culture: Punch Card Knitting | Internet Archive Blogs
Punch cards are a fascinating binary data storage format that aren’t just history—they’re still used by knitting machines today! Thanks to the Internet Archive and other collections, we still have access to historic punch cards, but there are some technical challenges to using them in the format they’re stored in. Meet a few folx working on those challenges.

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, & put a new & right spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10
This is the first bit of Scripture I’ve encountered in #ContemplativeKnitting & it both condemns & challenges me. I sat with it as I #knit (my #WIP is a #TaffyShawl ) most of the day & it still makes me uncomfortable. I found it hard to focus on the words & my mind kept wandering.
I tend to cling to things way past the point of usefulness. My heart & mind are bound up in the habits & patterns of the past, most of which no longer serve me. A clean heart would mean letting them go, & also releasing those who taught them to me. It’s scary.
Being in the process of starting a new business, I find myself caught up in wanting to do things “right”. It’s a common issue for me that often becomes an excuse for not doing anything or giving up. I’m so afraid of making a mistake. What I need to do is trust that God will help me fly.
Made another pair in April.
Yarn is 4ply (fingering), hand-dyed from Ash & Eve Designs - https://www.ashandevedesigns.com/

#Knit project done. Old man hipster beanie. I modified this Leithe Hat pattern from Ysolda. https://ysolda.com/products/leith-hat Still don’t really know what I’m doing but I have no shame so I will wear this. I have some alpaca wool. Any rec for cozy sock projects for a nearly absolute beginner?
To absolutely brag: 4 months ago I did not know how to knit. Now I've made this.
I made this! With sticks and yarn!! How cool is that!!!
