Look, I just really like twisted ribbing, ok?

I never posted my finished Lochbroom socks, did I?
.
I really love the colour inversion on these. I don’t know if it was intentional because I didn’t notice until I was halfway through the second sock, but if so that’s fantastic.
.
Yarn is @kelpieknits’ Lochbroomcolourway on Pitter Patter base, pattern is Soy Vanilla.

Whelp, time for some cable surgery. This is what happens when you *think* you know what the pattern says but you… don’t.

A second shot of my super-secret Nessie socks for my housemate. Taking gratuitous advantage of the better lighting in a friend’s living room.

A late 2019 FO which had to be kept secret for a little while - a pair of socks for my housemate made with @lovehandyed’s wonderful Nessie colourway.
.
I believe this was a yarn dyed specifically for @lochnessknitfest, and was absolutely perfect for my housemate’s birthday present.
.
Note to self though: knitting socks in secret is not as fun as it seems. I ran super close to time with these, and almost resorted to giving one as a birthday present and saving the other for Christmas. Luckily it didn’t come to that!
.
Have you ever had to knit anything in secret? Any tips in case I have to try it again?

2020 is the year I get over my fear of wearing knitted sweaters.
.
I’ve always felt kind of bad about my aversion to knitting sweaters. It just feels like a Thing Knitters Should Do, but several years of acute dysphoria and a general awareness that my body will change, dramatically, somehow, has made the prospect of putting a large amount of time into something that won’t last long and will probably make me feel bad… not a great idea.
.
The hormones have, more or less, made their changes (other than whatever it is they’re doing to my hairline), and I can’t put my life on hold for anything else. I’m tired of running from my dysphoria. 2020 is the year to beat it into submission, one stitch at a time.

Back at Mum’s for the holidays, and any attempts to keep cat hair away from my knitting, or clothes, or face, quickly went out the window. Luckily I’m only knitting for me this time.
.
Here’s Dora, looking much more chill about my existence than Holly was.
.
Yarn pictured is @kelpieknits’ Lochbroom, and I am absolutely adoring it. I almost missed my heel shaping because I was having too much fun.

December is a time for sock knitting, apparently. These ones are luckily for me.
.
The yarn is @kelpieknits’ Lochbroom, and I am completely in love with both the colours and the feel - this yarn is squishy and smooth and I just want to rub my face over it, but I know if I do I will poke an eye out. I may need to make myself a scarf out of this base some point soon.
