PSA: you can knit sleeves (and socks, mittens, fronts of cardigans etc.) two at a time. Easy to do the same length and shaping, no need to repeat exactly the same as the thing you’ve just knitted. No more second x syndrome!1yr ⋅ ChasingSloths ⋅ r/knitting

Most of my FOs of 2018. So nice that most of these use British natural-fibre yarn (there’s some sneaky Peruvian wool, and some handspun from fibre I got in Argentina). I’d love to see other people’s year of knits!5yr ⋅ ChasingSloths ⋅ r/knitting
