Knitting content, some kiddos and cats
My latest FO 🧶! The Mount Pleasant top by Megan Nodecker in Terrapin Dyeworks (two OOAKs from Yarncentrick). The purple bled like crazy and it stained the blue at first. Funnily enough when I decided to just see if it would overdye all the staining washed out and the blue looks fine 😂

New yarn display 🧶 (for existing skeins) for my birthday 🎂. Hubby hung the pegboard and I organized the yarn

My latest FO. Based on the end to end pullover by @purlsoho.bsky.social though I modified to knit it in one piece. Yarn is @dragon-hoard-yarn.bsky.social 2024 ACOTAR Advent arranged into two fades for the front and back.

#showmeyourknits baby is lots of stuff for my kiddos! Here's a small sampling.

My latest two FOs, which happen to fit #showmeyourknits 🧶, as intarsia.

Both use Cascade Pacifica and other colors are stash.

The Everest colorwork chart was my own with Tin Can Knits Flax for measurements.

The cat was inspired by an out of print Sirdar pattern.

Oh, #showmeyourknits colorwork is my jam! Opening gambit, 3 colorwork sweaters knit last year. If I remember I'll post more items throughout the week. 🧶

Oh hmm, not much for chonky for #showmeyourknits this week. 🧶 This Double Split Color Blocked Cowl by Churchmouse in Malabrigo Rasta is the only thing bigger than worsted I could find from the last 5 years 😂. I loved it in the shop but didn't love wearing it so it went to a good home for charity.

This cutie is wearing my latest 🧶FO and selling girl scout cookies.

digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/ellie8... (if you're in Madison pick girl delivered and we'll bring to you, otherwise there's shipping or you can buy a cookie share for our food pantry)

Sweater is out of print from Sirdar.

Soft Breeze Shawl by gabriellevezina in @sunvalleyfibers.bsky.social and deep stash
Secret Forest by paperdaisycreations in leftovers

#showmeyourknits wips: a kitty sweater for one of my kids. Based on an out of print pattern by Sirdar so I'm winging it on the chart. I feel like it's too wide but this is already my second take so whatever; kiddo just said it'll be easier to see 😂. Yarn is Big Twist and Cascade Yarns Pacific. 🧶

Taking a little break from knitting due to some elbow pain 😕. Got this needle felting kit to satisfy my creative needs. It was fun but I miss knitting 😭 I'll probably be back at it tonight and see how the arm feels

#showmeyourknits is a rough one for me this week 😂 I think this might be the only heart I've ever knit. It's an ornament for an advent calendar I made for my oldest child's second Christmas. 🧶

Pulled out my Desperate Housewife sweater by @mairyland.bsky.social in @sunvalleyfibers.bsky.social for #showmeyourknits #stripes 🧶
February 4, 2025 at 3:26 AM
For #showmeyourknits stripes I put on this sweater from a couple years ago. Stripes with a Twist and berroco yarn.

#wipwednesday Inspired by the End to End pattern and using Dragon Hoard Yarns ACOTAR Advent 🧶. Confusing now, but that's a sleeve in the front (knit flat and will be seamed) and then the purple side in the back of the picture will be the front of the pullover and the brown will be the back.

Getting in on #showmeyourknits cables. Here's my Nest pullover from Tin Can Knits. It's reversible! #knitsky 🧶
