Ta da! 🎉 Despite trying to chop my index finger clean off (don't ask) and two stitches later (yes, in my finger, not in the work), I have finished the Melt the ICE Toque:

This feels like a new start, so here we go!

Hi, I'm Megan, mid-40s woman in tech. I've got plenty of hobbies, a few of them are in the hashtags.
Newly diagnosed as being neurodivergent (AuDHD). Looking to make friends and prefer to use Mastodon for the things I love.

I'm into slow fashion, human rights, crafting, cats, music, and cult horror and sci-fi movies. My latest obsession is with snails.

Enjoyed knitting socks on 3.5mm needles after three pairs of socks and one pair of kilt hose on 2mm needles.

This method of sock construction is interesting. Pattern from “ Keepers of the Sheep: Knitting in Morocco’s High Atlas and Beyond” by Irene Waggener with Muah Ahansali, Hussein Mardi, Muah n’Ait Tabatoot, and Noura Eddelymy

It's official, I'm back to making videos! But I'm also rusty and it's taking longer than expected, so plans to publish today didn't work out. At least I'm back on the horse 🤷‍♀️

On the bright side I did need to finally take photos of this #CroppedBoatneckSweater that was finished a very long time ago, has been worn, has even visited Norway, and as you can tell from the crumples has reached the stage of "this is just a normal jumper that lives in my jumper pile"

So a very belated #FOFriday feature, for a project that was a really nice knit and didn't deserve to wait so long.
