To be honest, I'm here for the cats. Knitting is secondary. Your post is doubly pleasing. 😍

These are the items I've knit that might hit on the spooky theme.

🦇 a gnome in Halloween(ish) colors

🕷️ socks with a spider motif

I really love seeing what everyone has knit (and is knitting)! 😍

A handknit gnome in a round shape, utilizing orange, green, and purple yarns to give it a Halloween vibe. It is perched on a stack of two books.

Pattern is Adventure Gnome by Sarah Schira. The yarns are KP palette.

A pair of handknit socks in green with purple and orange accents.

No pattern, it's a basic vanilla cuff down sock with stockinette heel flap. Yarn is Sock-Ease in the sour ball colorway.

A person wearing yellow handknit socks with a spider motif on the back of the ankle. The point of view is from the back of the foot/ankle.

Pattern is a basic 2x2 ribbed sock with only the spider motif taken from Spider Socks by Terri Knight, and placed on the back of the leg. From the front they're just ribbed socks. :)

This is fantastic! I recently finished this designer's "poop on fascists" hat. These messages should be plastered on everything & everywhere!

These 2 pairs are in constant rotation, the last couple years. #knitting #knitsky #showmeyourknits

Ukrainian blue & yellow, pattern from my brain, inspired by link in comments.

Dissent socks, pattern by Tiina Kuu on ravelry.
(and I need to reknit these, they're showing my love for them)

I love Opal for socks. Yours look fab!

I gravitate towards cuff down with heel flap, for both knitting and wearing. But I do deviate on occasion! I prefer textured patterns with solids & tonals, but turn to vanilla or rib with louder or striped yarns. Have you tried a princess sole? It puts the smooth side toward the skin.

My box of sox, in 2021. It was 58 pairs, but I've since added 18 more. I could go 2+ months wearing a unique pair each day.😀But I have favorites. I don't have a problem, I just need a bigger box. 📦👍

Not shown, nearly as many that I've knit for others.

Many colorful pairs of handknit socks. Folded in half and displayed on top of a light gray comforter.

My very first pair! Silver's Sock Class, Red Heart Kids on US 7, 2013.

My motivation to teach myself to knit, was specifically to knit socks! And, 12 years later I've knit ~125 pairs. It's my jam.

I've since evolved. I'll post a few more as the week goes on. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting

GenX. Full books, starting in grade school. Are grade schoolers no longer required to write book reports? There were some doozies by the time high school rolled around. Is reading going the way of cursive writing?

It's scarf week. I don't think I've shared this one before. It is Just Enough Ruffles by Laura Chau. I made this almost 10 years ago with Malabrigo Worsted. #showmeyourknits #knitting #knitsky

A handknit dark red scarf with a ruffled edge. Draped around a wooden hanger on a closet door.

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social:

ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday.

Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events.

Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez

Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

#showmeyourknits is #WIP week. I have 3 things on the needles but two are future gifts. So it's just this one to show... Belle Fille Hat by Espace Tricot. Yarn is KnitPicks Capra DK in Embers Heather.

A handknit cabled hat with a ribbed cuff, still in progress on circular knitting needles. Color is a muted dark red that leans a little brown. Leaves of a houseplant at the top edge of the photo. Yarn ball at the top edge of the hat is held inside a section of a nude nylon stocking to keep it tidy.

I used 96 sts, and I think mine's about 10" wide. It's fingering weight yarn and does not feel too bulky at that width (heavier yarns would, for me).
