So cheerful!

I made a granny square pullover years ago that needed the same fix for arm mobility.

It could be the yarn. Plant fibers don't spring like wool.
It could be your gauge or tension is different.
It could be that because it's attached to crochet, one end is more firmly fixed than in knitting.
There may be more others can add.

Very pretty!

I recommend a square at the armpit folded in half into triangle shape (one half on each side of the arm).

Yoke of a pink and white sweater (Ranunculus pattern) on the needles, just passed the bottom of the arms.

A purple Ranunculus sweater on a person holding clear safety glasses.

A fair isle style sweater on a figure skater wearing black pants. The sweater has a light blue body with decreasing yoke details in black, light blue, and grey. The skater's face is obscured. The pattern is published by Lopi and is knitted in Bernat Lattice, which is lovely and washable for a sports sweater.

Fair Isle sweater knitted in two strands of Harrisville Designs Shetland held double. The body of the sweater is white with deep violet triangular and diamond designs. The sleeves are purple with white triangle designs at the cuffs. The pattern is from Lopi.

Sweaters are some of my favorite projects, mostly sweaters for other people. Here are some from the last year. Details are in the Alt.

This is fascinating! I vote flax, myself, but given the moonlight association, I can see the wooly possibility.
I wonder if the spindle is an indication of poverty at this period. I would assume most well-off spinsters would have invested in a wheel for efficiency. This could be about mobility, too.

That makes sense.

Oh, fun!

Why apologize for choosing your content on your feed? You've been off living your life, making your decision about your time. Bravo!!!!

The child's foot? I'm still not wholly convinced socks need blocking for any reason other than photos. I only use my blockers because the socks dry a little faster with air on both sides.

Blocking can work magic. 😁

Do you use wire to get it to keep the shape? (Yes, it's coming along nicely 😁. )

Good luck!

I was looking at one a few days ago with a really similar look. We chose a different one, but it was a close competition.

Or the mass imprisonment here.

I assume you heard about the tornadoes yesterday? At the beginning of March?

Too big everywhere? Would half a frog do? 😉

The colors are so cheerful.

A couple options for unknown yarn: do a burn test on a small bit, live dangerously and only use that one for cold stuff, train your fingers to start to know the difference by touch.

Avoid synthetics when making coasters, trivets, etc. They tend to melt and stick to things when something hot is placed on them.

Does the wetness gum up blades more, too?

So, it's only just started, but it's another one for #showmeyourknits in lace.
This is the Connecticut River Scarf & shawl in the scarf size again.
The yarn is from @3stitchesshort.bsky.social . I've held a grey together with the first skein of a yarn bundle.

The colors are lovely together. They're reminiscent of deft tiles. Kate, will we get to see this in person at shows?

Looks like a beautiful flock. :)

This is fascinating to look at. It's wonderful work!
