When my kids were little they would sit at the counter and paint and paint. By the end it would devolve into mixing paint and covering their arms with it. It was hard at first to not scold them, but they were experimenting and having fun. That was more important.

It's good for using up different partial skeins too!

So close to finishing this WIP! Working on the border of Pastille Baby Blanket by Vickie Hartog. Instead of 5 blocks of colors, I did shorter blocks and repeated them. Love how it's turning out. Just a few more rows of border left. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #WIPWednesday 🧶

Purple this week for #showmeyourknits
I don't make much in purple, but here's a pink to purple gradient shawl I made awhile ago.

A triangular shawl with the ends folded down. It is knit in a basket weave pattern with yarn that begins as light pink and deepens to medium purple by the end.
