Showing a #scarf from 2018. A dreamy hombre yarn that keeps me warm on a cold or chilly day.

For #showmeourknits my latest #sequenceknitting scarf. Ends still need to be woven in and then washed and blocked. Yarns are #woolstok fingering (light shade) and #perendale wool (dark shade). Blues are definitely part of my color palette.

Lovely evening sky this evening. The clouds remind me of magic carpets. All photos from the roofdeck at home.

The quiet of early morning is my favorite time of day. Knitting and coffee go along with it

Sock knitting for #whatsonmyneedles. Completed a pair using #Lorna'sLaces yarn purchased in first decade of this century. ##stashbusting
Dyers have made great strides in their techniques.
Colorway is Watercolor.
I am from the school of letting the socks be mismatched. Either choice is okay

An enjoyable and challenging traveling cable hat pattern from #thathatoverthere on IG.

##reversibleknitting arrived today. I find the books of Cecelia Campochiaro to provide plenty of inspiration and creativity to the #knittingsoul
Her other works are #sequenceknitting and #making marks

@captainsolo577.bsky.social Being pinned down and tickled can be so much fun. Being blindfolded heightens the sensations.
