During my current test knit one of the testers suggested attaching one of the small balls of yarn to the side of the work to prevent tangling. I had an unused hair clip laying around and decided to give it a try, it worked like a charm.
Pattern: The Strook Shawl (released next month)
Yarn: assigned pooling Deluxe Merino Sock in ‘Rainbow’

🚨 TEST KNITTERS WANTED For my new scrap-busting pattern The Strook Shawl, I’m looking for testers. The pattern requires 500-1000y of fingering-weight yarn. Who’s helping me out? The test will be hosted on yarnpond.com #knit #testknit #fyp #yarn #craft #crafts #handmade #knittok #yarnpond
1/3 of the body finished. It's getting a bit boring to knit, although it really looks beautiful.
Fingering weight yarn, so it takes forever. I also think it might be too big... although that might be nice, and I can easily make it smaller by adding a side seam at the end.
So, on we go.
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
Do you have 1-2 skeins of clown-looking yarn 🧶that you don’t know how to use? My Having a ball sweater #testknit is for you!
A small collection from Strickcafé for two test knits and the Pascuali Pinta for mum‘s scarf. 🧶
Finally decided on the fifth colour in this #testknit #WoolweftSweater for designer @s.knits
The original pattern calls for four colours, so had to go stash diving when I decided I want to make the body longer - as I'm tall and not small in general, even tall for Dutch standards 😉
Onwards for the last bit before the ribbing :)
And then some sleeves to knit...
Finished the body.
Yoke 1 week
Body 2 weeks
Let's see how many months the sleeves are going to take me... I might try knitting them both at once to speed things up.
So, I managed to finish this shirt in 3 weeks (of which one week on holiday and hardly knitting anything...)
Very happy with the colour, marling the anthracite and the dark red is beautiful I think.
I like the 'butterfly' sleeves as the pattern calls them.
And the shirt fits, I was worried my head wouldn't fit through, but it does. Too short still, but will block it (tomorrow??) and probably will grow quite a bit. Hopefully, that is.
In the final stretch of a test knit I started in December. This is the first time I have knit a jumper where you pick up and knit the arms from the steeks.

This is a crochet garment pattern with very stretchy fabric. This is a size and yarn inclusive pattern: you don’t have to search for yarns to match pattern gauge suggestions. You can make any sized sweater with any weight of yarn. (1/n)
