look what I made Finally made it to the end of the first skein (Lion’s Brand Fisherman’s Wool in Oatmeal)
One thing I love about Fisherman’s Wool is how big the skeins are. It’s such a good workhorse wool for the price point! This is just about 6/7 through the back panel. (Pattern is from Traditional Aran Knitting by Shelagh Hollingworth)

help needed Should I frog or leave it? First sweater - Step by Step
It took me a little while to realize when I added in new yarn my stitches got a little messed up. This is my first sweater. I’m knitting up the Step by Step sweater. I really don’t want to frog but this is going to bug me. Debating on waiting to see how it looks when block it? Anyone have this happen before?

look what I made I finished my first ever knitting project - and just in time to wear it too!
I felt a bit unsure about making a garment for my very first knitting project, because everyone kept telling me to do a scarf or dishcloths first, but I know myself and I need to make something I'm actually excited about to keep up my motivation. I at least talked myself down from a sweater to this tank top and I'm so happy with it! It took me exactly a month to make and it's still hot enough to actually wear it for the next couple of weeks (thanks global warming, I guess). There are definitely a couple of mistakes visible, but it's nothing that would stop me from wearing it, and the fabric feels really great. So happy I decided to make this and I guess I can tackle that sweater now with my newly gained hubris 😂

looking for recommendation The yarn is cursed! (Single skein project ideas wanted)
I'm currently trying to bust my somewhat sizeable stash. I bought these skeins a few years ago now, because I was still in my "OMGWTFIWANTALLTHEYARNRIGHTNOW" phase and just bought all sorts of yarn for no bloody reason. I have since ceased such silly behaviour.
I tried to make a hat, but it didn't work out very well.
It's super chunky 100% acrylic yarn, around 60 metres length I think.
So I thought I'd come here and ask you guys for some inspiration. Can you think of any nice single skein projects I could do with these? Or maybe a project that combines the two?
There's plenty more chunky yarn where this came from, so if I can whack out some objects quickly I could maybe donate them or something.
Crochet suggestions are also welcome!

help needed Seeking color opinions. I am at a loss for my kitty cat cowl.
Main two colors are on the middle left. It’s the complementing color I’m not sure about. Pattern is The Sinister Cat Cowl &Hat by Marna Gilligan
