For this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits I have my most recent FO: the Agnete Cardigan by Petite Knit in Kid Silk Haze and Cascade Heritage.

A gift knit for my mum and first time with brioche. Cat-approved.

Happy national Black Cat Day from this little goofball.

It is a time-honoured tradition.

I love my knitting buddy.

The #Caturday naps were particularly good today.

You are not alone in this.

A little #caturday #kitten content.
A long-haired black kitten sleeps on a grey couch. Her face is pointed up and her head is squished into a grey and white blanket. Her tail is curved and her legs splayed out. She slept like this for almost two hours. Such an adorable floof.

Baby knits are so fun! Here are a few for #ShowMeYourKnits.

1. Honeycomb hat and booties in a red sport yarn.
2. Honeycomb hat in navy Cascade Heritage Solids.
3. Black cotton stockinette blanket with a seed stitch border.
4. Gradient garter stitch blanket in Cascade Heritage Solids held double.
A red cabled hat and red knitted socks on a black background. Both are baby sized. A navy blue honeycomb cabled hat on a white background. A black blanket draped over a white crib. The wall behind the crib is taupe and has a black guitar hanging on it. There is a white chest of drawers to the left of the crib. A bay blue and white blanket on top of a sleeping baby. The blanket has a marked section in the middle. The baby is lying with their arms out on a wooden crib.

I do believe my latest 🧶 FO is cat-approved.

One more, freshly on the blocking mats. This one is a self-drafted dress for my niece in Cascade Heritage Solids.

I have a few green things for #ShowMeYourKnits this week. Green is a favourite colour in this house.
A leafy lace scarf knit in Cascade Heritage Solids. A green beret with a I-cord top knit is Cascade Heritage Solids. A slightly modified Melange sweater by Petite Knit in a single strand of DK tweed. This will be frogged and re-knit. The Anker Sweater by Petite Knit in DK tweed (forget the brand). This will be frogged and re-knit into something the recipient likes better.

I have a needle binder from Thread and Maple. I use circulars exclusively, but they have DPN pages. There are also notion pages and project pages. You can really customize it to suit your needs. I love it so, so much! And it’s Canadian!

It’s sock week for #ShowMeYourKnits! These are a few I’ve made in the last year, and I’m planning many more this year.

All of these are knitted in Briggs and Little sport yarn.

For #ShowMeYourKnits this week I have Solitary by Victoria Marchant knitted in Berocco Vintage DK.

This photo was taken while blocking and before seaming. It is now one of my most-worn garments.

My long-haired tortie cat looking very pissed off. Her teeth are bared, her tongue is out, and her eyes are squinted closed, as if screaming into the void. In reality, I took this photo mid-yawn.

She’s so precious. I can’t even handle it.

I have tea, I have a sleepy kitty, and I have my current WIP. Needing all the cozy vibes today.

Happy #caturday from Ember. She’s not quite sure what to make of the snow.
