I shared a hat last week but I can share another! Here’s “Braineater” by Vi Caughran. I ran out of the blue yarn so it ended up as a bunch of disembodied tentacles. #ShowMeYourKnits #knitsky #knitting 🧶

A woman, looking away from the camera, wears a colorwork knit beanie with a variegated cream/green/brown background and blue tentacles. Yarn is Yarnarchy Highland Wool Worsted.

I don’t have any spooky knits for #ShowMeYourKnits, but I do have this hat in orange and black, which seems Halloween-y.

No worries! Happy to answer questions too!

It’s in alt text but I’ll put it here too: it’s Merino Sock from Blue Hands Fibers, in the colorway Codemonkey (I think it’s Ravelry-themed). I got it years ago in a destash. Unfortunately I’m pretty sure it’s discontinued.

Scarf week for #ShowMeYourKnits. I took out a few scarf-y things and noticed my Bigger on the Inside scarf has a moth hole (😢). Into the mending bag it goes.

It’s sweater week for #ShowMeYourKnits, so here’s one I don’t think I’ve shared before. This is Nydia by Vanessa Smith knit in Rowan Cashsoft DK. The color is actually more of a sage green in person. The lighting makes it look tan here.

Stripes for #ShowMeYourKnits. A pair of socks using Knit Picks Felici. I only had one 50g skein so I didn’t try to make the stripes match up, in order to use every bit of yarn. This is a basic toe-up sock pattern that I modified with tiny cables.

It was so difficult to choose colors! I’m still not sure I 100% like what I chose. I was trying to knit from stash which constrained me a bit. I remember a lot of people knit this during the MKAL so there are lots of examples in Ravelry to look at for inspiration!

Shawls week for #showmeyourknits. I knit a lot of shawls but I’ll just feature one today: this was a Stephen West MKAL several years ago. Pattern is Shawlography and it’s knit in Tosh Merino Light.

I have a short memory apparently and I didn’t realize I’ve shared both of these before. Oops. 🙄

Happy #ShowMeYourKnits anniversary to @livrunsfast.bsky.social ! I wasn’t here for the beginning, so I’m not sure if it’s been done before, but I’m choosing to show MKAL projects this week. Details in alt text.

I prefer knitting with wool, so most of my summer knits are not very summery. Luckily I live somewhere without super hot summers! Here’s my Summer Sorrel Tee by @woolandpine.bsky.social. Yarn is Tosh Merino Light in a fade of three shades.
