it's been so long since I partook in #showmeyourknits, and posted anything about knitting to begin with so I'm absolutely going to do a little throwback with some of my fav animal-themed works! 🙇‍♂️

for #showmeyourknits it's purple's turn and I realise that I don't knit with purple all that much despite liking the color 😶 here're some from earlier this year and ones from 2023 and 2024!

I actually made and posted the original pair back in march last year, so it's basically a year apart between these two!! and yes, I still love this pattern so much, but weaving all these yarn ends in took... a lot out of me 🙃

I finished knitting on these two pairs forever ago but weaving in so many separate yarns on four socks is.. the reason why I don't get things done in a timely manner 😭 until now waow

A 2024 Knitting Summary, designed in the way Art Summaries are. A 12-month grid is shown on a cream colored background, of which January, April, June, July and August are covered in dark purple and a "Zzz", implying no works. The rest of the months display a variety of knitted works, mainly knee-high socks.

2024 Knit Summary by ✨ me ✨ !

I definitely made less works this year than I did in 2023, but it's been so much better for my well being. 2023 I knitted way more than what I had the energy for, so this year I wanted to create works I enjoy 🧶
