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 😂

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.

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 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.

Front and back are done and seamed up. Just cast on the first sleeve tonight. This is for my older kid and the younger keeps pressing me to get it done since I said I won't cast on their sweater until this one is done.

#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. 🧶

#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.
