Welcome!

My name is Pidge! I've been knitting since the winter of 2024, picking up the hobby shortly after putting down a long time family pet. I make a little of everything as I enjoy knitting itself more than the end product. Most of my knits are either gifts or are donated to local charities as I don't have the space to keep most things for myself. Here are some random facts about me!

  • I don't have a gender, so any pronouns are fine, although they/them is preferred :)
  • My favorite color is pink!
  • I'm HoH and use hearing aids
  • When I'm not knitting I'm playing videogames!
  • I'm also on bluesky under the username thealphapigeon

My inbox is always open, and my main blog is @thealphapigeon , so that's the blog all my likes come from. If you've made it this far, have a cookie 🍪 and a nice day! My icon was drawn by @sybeez

whew! I started this on Thursday and just finished binding off! six day shawl for the LOML! I was aiming for five but hey we can't win all the time. just needs blocking and ends done 💕

I have been in beige hell for NINE QUEEN-SIZED BLANKET ROWS (OVER THREE THOUSAND STITCHES) and finally, there is a glimpse of hope! Eggshell, save me!

All the mittens I've knitted this winter (and all of them I've made so far). The gold pair was my first crack at following a pattern and the black and green were my first colourwork

It’s my first time doing colourwork and I’m loving life!! Not sure how well the floats are going as it’s a bit too small to try on yet, but I’m praying it’s okay

I’m making the Shrimply the Best socks and I can’t wait to see how they turn out

I finished a thing! A Saturday hat done in mosaic knitting. Quick, easy and fun!

West Yorkshire Spinners Colour Lab DK in Midnight Navy and Colour Lab Sock DK in Punk (variegated).

More (very small) progres!!!

I did 6 rows. 😅

From the purple lifeline outward is what i did. The first photo is what each "section* of this chart is that I'm doing (4 rows and then just doing it over and over as I increase.)

Each "repeat" is so small 😭. I feel like I'm doing so much and then I realize it's like half an inch of progress 🫣.

WIP Wednesday

Caught my partner's cold so doing some test swatches trying to work out this leaf edging.

I have a few variations I'm planning on going through to work out (like do I want lace leaf edging on a waistband? Is all this weird gartery bits necessary? So on...)
