#WIPWednesday is my first pair of contrast socks!
Yarn is Sea Turtle Fiber Arts in Wandering Brook, and the socks are for Brooke (me) to wander in. 😁
It's going to be so pretty! And warm - only my second pair of DK socks.

I was going to knit a hat for my partner today, but then this happened next to me, and now I must pet the adorable kitty.

My #cakedecorating journey continues: wreaths, "cables," and fondant! 🎂
I love the top. Less so the sides. But I am learning, and the mistakes are still delicious.

Two of my favourite local shops did a collab, and it is delicious! Thanks, @flyingsquirrelyarn.bsky.social, for letting us snag some last night.
I also finished a sock and started the second!

I also am late for #crochetaway PINK week!
This Ophthalmosaurus #ichthyosaurus was a test crochet for designer Jenn Starbird. I had this magenta yarn in my stash - Patons Classic Wool? - and I actually love how it turned out.

Cutting it close this week, but here are my #cables for #showmeyourknits. So. Many. Cables.
Shawl is Equivocation from Curls 2 book by Hunter Hammersen. Yarn is a glorious local hand dye that I've lost the label from.
Model is the always beautiful @grace-is-reading.bsky.social.

This week's theme for #showmeyourknits is knitting horror stories, especially lost knits.
I knit this #StarWars hat for my partner who left it at the mall. He did go back to check lost and found with no luck. I hope whoever found it loved it.

#crochetaway wants to see #wip, so here is my crochet project that was put on hold this month while I try to finish a couple knitting projects.
Eventually, it will be a beautiful snail!
