I turned the heel of the other sock this weekend using a “HG Heel” pattern I came across on Ravelry. So far this one fits a tiny bit better and looks pretty cool. I still love them both though. Definitely sisters not twins as a fun experiment with colorwork and gauge.

Almost done with my first colorwork project, a sock. Not perfect but it fits which was the main goal. For those that have done colorwork, what’s your favorite color combo advice or color theory? #ShowMeYourKnits #KnitSky

Jumped right into #FinishItFebruary by finishing this hat I’ve had on my needles for a couple months. Tried to experiment with texture to make a cushy reversible hat from some naturally dyed merino. #ShowMeYourKnits #KnitSky

I love this profile, especially since it highlights the process pictures…and the process, the messy fragmented part of the whole, is where I personally spend the most time with each piece. 🧶

Trying to decide if I add back pockets to these #CoeTrousers I made for a loved one for the holidays. Today was my first time sitting at my sewing machine in over a month. I finished taking in the sides and hemming the bottom. Love this fun floral I got from #RecreativeDenver. #SewSky #GarmentSewing

My quilt about women’s reproductive rights has been banned from all American Quilters Society shows this year. It’s been part of a traveling show with SAQA. My artist statement is too long for here. It’s on my website: laurashaw.net/quilts#/your-mother

Finally added these to the backstitch app too. These are some #DaughterJudy #CoeTrousers that I finished back in November. I wear them as soon as they are clean, so I’m due for another pair. My favorite part is the muted rainbow topstitching on the side seams and back pockets. 🌈

Looking forward to connecting more to other sewists/knitters/makers here.
My most recently completed knitting project was an Aros Sweater for my mini-me.
