Gathering up the most important/expensive foods in our fridge to take to my in-laws’ houses because our power has been shut off until at least tomorrow night because of strong winds. Uggghghh.

#showmeyourknits this week is cardigans so here is the Hearthside Cardigan that I test knit for @woolandpine.bsky.social recently. It’s a great stash buster and knits up fast because you hold 2-4 strands of fingering together while you knit! #knitsky #knitting

Yay, finally a good amount of snow! By far the latest snow since we moved to Colorado.

#wipwednesday Here’s the swatch I did for a new test knit from @woolandpine.bsky.social using House of à la Mode DK. Still need to finish a gift knit but it’s hard with this new project on my needles 😆 #knitting #knitsky

It’s Xmas gift season, so I’m working on some Aeshna mitts for my 19yo. Last time I made these with neon pink for my niece, so I’m enjoying the more muted colors in this one.

#showmeyourknits Spooky season knitting horror stories! I made up this pattern and loved this hat. Such a great color! And I lost it before I even got a picture of it finished. 😭 #knitsky

Finished these awhile ago but finally wove in the ends and blocked them. These are the Botanic Socks by West Knits from his Year of Socks 2025. I knit them using Footsie by @voolenvine.bsky.social

I’m working on my ooey gooey cowl but having a problem. I wound up my two skeins of suri together to make it easier, but the two strands aren’t pulling out of the cake at the same rate. So I think I’m going to have to pause and figure out a way to separate them into 2 balls. #knitsky #knitting

#showmeyourknits Baby Knits!
To be honest, I didn’t knit much when my kids were babies because, well, they were exhausting. I was up to knitting baby hats though. Candy cane hats for my firstborn and their cousin, and a Wooly Wormhead hat for my second born. 🧶 #knitsky #knitting

This week’s #showmeyourknits is Spring Green ☘️
I think these socks fit the vibe since the perennials have started peeking up but we will most likely still get some more snow. Happy Spring Break to those who celebrate 😉 #knitsky 🧶

I’ve never knit honeycomb brioche before, but I think I’ve got the rhythm of it now. Loving how it’s coming out! #pixiecardi #knitsky 🧶

I’m working on my Take Your Time cardigan and noticing something concerning. The brioche rows that include the white yarn are slanting. The middle brioche section that doesn’t include the white is straight. Is this because of the spin on the yarn? Will it block out and stay blocked out? 😬 🧶 #knitsky
