For my intro to the community, thought I’d share one of my more ridiculous newbie projects from back in the day!
A friend of mine expressed a desire for the classic Tom Baker scarf, and his birthday just happened to be coming up. So of course total knitting newbie me spent every second of every day frantically knitting this ridiculous thing.
It had all the classic new knitter tropes. Messy bits where I’d purled instead of knitted… Yarns of all different fibres in an attempt to get accurate colours, which meant some bits of it felt and draped differently to others. And of course, some bits were significantly wider than others!
All of my hard work was well rewarded though because he loved it and wore it into the ground. Job well done.

Argh, I was so thrilled to see a knitting instance on Lemmy I stumbled and somehow blocked it!!! I didn’t mean to. I’ve resubscribed but it said Pending. I can’t see an unblock option. God I’m an idiot. Here’s some yarn porn for you to enjoy:
A lot of my subscriptions (mostly lemmy.ml) ones are showing as pending as well but apparently it’s just a visual bug and I am actually subscribed because they show up in my feed just fine. Hopefully that’s the case here.
And WHAT is that rainbow goodness in the background there? I could look at yarn porn all day lol
Ok, I’m drooling … looks a bit like Malabrigo but maybe not?!?
Brilliant! But I’ve clumsily managed to block this community… trying to unblock. 😭
Oh no! Hope you get it sorted 😬
Lovely! All your hard work paid off.
Thank you 😊 I was so proud of myself.
Awesome! I also made one years ago but sadly I’ve lost it
Oh no! I can’t judge, I’m currently crocheting v2.0 of a top that I made, loved, wore once and then just somehow misplaced never to be seen again 🤦♀️
