Machine knitting: a (c)hattie
In 2025 the folks at machineknit.community did a 12 Months of Hats knitalong. I only joined at the end of the year, and am still getting my practice in with a lot of basics, so I was a bit too intimidated to jump into any of these in the actual year of 2025.
Ba...
Today was a good day, I think, for knitting together.

Machine knittin': moar mittens
I am pleased to report that producer Amy approved of the mittens I posted a couple of weeks ago, which were a bit too small for me.
"Sooo cozy!" was the text accompanying this photo of Amy's hand with pearlescent nail polish and a woollen knit mitt.
"How nice," I thought,...

Machine Knittin': Some mittens
I took another (unsuccessful) run at the previously-failed neckline for the knitalong sweater this weekend. I have learned that I have much to learn about taking off ribbing with circular knitting but also I don't want to talk about it.
Instead let's talk about these!

Machine knitting: neckli(n)e / show-and-tell!
This post is part of a series, as I play catch-up on KnitFactoryImpl's knitalong of a set in sleeve crew neck sweater for channel members.
After completing the front panel, only one major on-the-machine task remains for this sweater, and that's the neckline.
This is easy to ...

This post is part of a series, as I play catch-up on KnitFactoryImpl's knitalong of a set in sleeve crew neck sweater for channel members.
At the dawn of the final day of the knitalong, I was determined to finish the machine-knit portions of the build. That means making the ...

In the first installment of this series, I made some sleeves, putting me well on time for the knitalong. Since then, however, I spe...

I’m traveling but that doesn’t mean I’m not machine knitting!
I am so grateful to Cristina Talpa for her make-a-scarf workshop. Amy found it via the Makery and we thought it seemed too good to pass up.
And it was! While the workshop is geared for total beginners to machine knitting, Cristina smoothly adjusted to work around things I already knew. She taught me some great new techniques and helped me improve some less-than-optimal techniques I came to the workshop with.
Plus, this scarf! I love it! Amy enjoyed posing me on an outing in Berlin today to snap a few photos.
I’m so grateful for the opportunity to meet an expert (and experimental!) machine knitter, work on a garment together, and chat about the state of the craft.
Thanks so much, Cristina!
