It's hat week for #showmeyourknits, and who doesn't love a good hat? They're quick, satisfying and fun to knit, keep you warm and look amazing.

These are my Hobbit-inspired hat patterns: The Shire, Mirkwood, and Misty Mountains. They're all available on Ravelry!

Thank you friend! ♥️

I'm sorry! I feel the same way about snakes :/

I actually had a test knitter for this pattern who had severe arachnophobia that she was in therapy for. She had made a lot of progress and was using the test knit as a part of her therapy which I was very impressed by!

Spooky season for #showmeyourknits? I have just the thing!

The Arachne Pullover 🕷️ is perfect for Halloween, but tbh I wear mine year-round bc I love it so much.

You can get the pattern on Ravelry and Payhip. It's size inclusive and worsted weight. And spooky!

She has black hair going gray piled in a bun on the top of her head and is holding her arms, bent at the elbow, in front of her body, with her closed hands covering the lower part of her face. She is wearing a hand knit, oatmeal colored sweater with cable knit spiders from shoulder to wrist on both sleeves.

Her eyes are smiling.

Thank you!! I'm super into olive/avocado green right now...I keep buying yarn in these shades and then being surprised 😂

Hook Mountain Handmade @hookmountainknits.bsky.social · 26d

I have been called a crafting an enabler before but...you could always learn to knit! (and thank you, I'm so glad you like it!)

Speaking of autumn knits #shomeyourknits ...my new Kitchen Table Cardigan has absolutely enormous pockets that can hold your emergency copy of Frog and Toad, your phone, and a snack, which I think is super Fall-ish. Plus it's super oversize and cozy 🧡

Aw, thanks! The secret is to knit a LOT of sweaters. Like, a lot a lot 😂

Hook Mountain Handmade @hookmountainknits.bsky.social · Sep 10

Thank you so much!

Hook Mountain Handmade @hookmountainknits.bsky.social · Sep 10

The project these yarns are leftover from only uses the blue as pocket lining and I'm really enjoying seeing the colors together in a much muchier way!

I knew I'd rather have full length sleeves and a cropped body than a full length body and cropped sleeves so I reversed the usual order!

Hook Mountain Handmade @hookmountainknits.bsky.social · Sep 10

Thank you! It's a fun project for sure 🥰

My current WIP for the #showmeyourknits prompt of the week! This is my adventure sweater: no pattern, no gauge swatch, no measuring anything, and only using the yarn here that's leftover from another project. The adventure is seeing if it will be wearable!

It's sweater week at #showmeyourknits so I'm starting out with my newest design: the Carry-On Cardigan. It's the perfect sweater to take everywhere and thus ensure that you will never be cold or un-cozy. You can get it at the sale price on Ravelry til 8/31!

Yay! Sweaters are my favorite thing to knit (and design)!

Your Bergliebe is gorgeous 😍

Hook Mountain Handmade @hookmountainknits.bsky.social · Aug 10

Thanks! Knitting for 17 years and designing for almost 6 :)

Hook Mountain Handmade @hookmountainknits.bsky.social · Aug 10

Thank you! I do too but ended up giving the sweater to my mom because it looks way better on her than me.

Leftovers and scraps for #showmeyourknits this week @livrunsfast.bsky.social ? Yes please! Using leftover and scrap yarn is so so satisfying.
My Bun Break sweater was the first design using this yarn, and last Nov I designed the Winter Market Mitts with the leftovers. Cozy joy!

It's #showmeyourknits 1st bday, and to celebrate @livrunsfast.bsky.social has declared this week to be knitter's choice. So I'm going to share my very favorite knits: most worn, most loved.

Like Brunch! Seen here in a hotel on my x-country move, cause it's super cozy comfy.
