Current theme is....CABLES! (Updated March 5th)

Current theme: 🧶 CABLES 🧶

If there's one design feature that is quintessentially knitting, it's got to be cables! Chonky ones, intricate ones, symmetrical ones or weird ones, almost every knitter has tried them and found out the biggest secret of our craft: cables are a lot easier than they look 🤫


If you're entering a finished project please remember to format your post titles like so to help me easily keep track:

[CABLES] This is an example post title

Thanks 😄

FAQ

Do the projects need to be old?

Nope they just need to be fully finished

What counts as “fully finished”?

Weave in your ends, slacker!

Can I still post my normal everyday knitting and questions and memes and stuff?

Yes of course, this is just a fun bonus activity

What if a project fits multiple themes?

Honestly, use your judgement. I’ll put a list of the next few upcoming themes in the community sidebar so you can decide where it fits best, or if you’ve not posted it in a while feel free to enter it again! Maybe include different photo angles or a new tip you’ve thought of since last time. I think we have a ways to go before the rate of new posts becomes spammy, at which time we’ll rethink.

Can I enter more than one thing for the same theme?

Absolutely! But please make them separate posts 😊

Do projects that are only partially knitted still count?

As long as there’s some knitting somewhere in there, I for one want to see it!
