What are your knitting goals for this week?

Happy Easter everyone! Yesterday my time was spent trying to see how well I could do short rows on the Addi for socks. They are my love language.💕. After a whole day of some serious frustration, I came to the conclusion that I’m going to have to really work on that more to get short rows for heels and toes that look nice on the Addi. I did however make these with the 22 that uses a drawstring on the toe in the heel. This is a variation on a pattern and I found by Yay for Yarns. Are they perfect? No. And I don’t like socks and worsted weight. So they’re more like house slippers to me. But, I’m going to try this with doubled sock yarn, and see what the results might be. I will keep you posted!

Hi, I am new here and not sure how to navigate. I bought my first 22 pin childrens Singer machine on clearance at Walmart for $19.00 in early 2000's... I didnt even open it until 2023! My Father in law bought me the King size Addi for Christmas 2023 and boy did I love it. He did too! My husband bought me the smaller Addi for our Anniversary, then I bought the Mushroom. My husband then bought both Sentro machines! He said its like his garage when he needs tools to work on cars I needs machines for production! The plan was Pappa was going to sell plants and I was going sell knitting. Unfortunately his health failed and we had several Dr visits and hospital stays. We never made it to shows. He went Home last month, he and Mom are together again dancing in eternity. So Im looking forward to crafting again and Im sure he will be cheering me on from the otherside! He also was a crafter and crocheted, did chair caninning, woodworking and plant growing! Im looking forward to learning and maybe helping others too...

What was the first thing that you knitted or crocheted that you felt really proud of?
