It’s been a minute, but What’s On Your Needles? Week 67 of #ShowMeYourKnits; I wanna see WIPs 🚧, to-be-finished 🪡, maybe even the Naughty Basket™️.
Loving it? Not sure? Need a boost to finish? Let’s see ‘em! 🧶

I’m having a reckoning this week 😳: 3 jumpers, 5 pairs 🧦, 2 hats, 1 shawl, 1 👶, 1🧣!
A messy pile of in progress knits. Grey jumper, cream jumper, olive hood, stripey shawl, stripey hat, stripey baby pants, 5 different socks without mates, a little scarf. And their associated balls of unknit yarn.

The mug cozy out here, livin’ its best life…
This child has had mitts, hats, hoods, socks, a sweater…and this mug cozy that I cobbled together with no pattern out of scraps is what gets the moody atmospheric Welsh photo shoot?!? 😂
(He is knitworthy & appreciative, I just find this funny) #knitting 🧶

Me: Look, I’m not *only* frogging to take care of huge WIP pile, OK?
Also me: Here, I frogged this other thing 😬
Heim baby pants in Regia merino yak. Cute but didn’t finish in time for baby’s arrival & it’s been a while & they’ve just been getting increasingly tangled in the basket. #ShowMeYourKnits
Some in-progress hand knit baby leggings in grey and red helical striped pattern with mustard coloured garter stitch waistband. The remaining unknit yarn is beside them. The leggings have been unraveled into balls of grey, red, and mustard yellow yarn of various sizes.

X-rays were discovered on this day November 8 in 1895, by physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, allowing us to see inside the human body.
🧶 This free knitting pattern for X-Ray Mittens or Gloves designed by Marjukka Vuorisalo is on my fun handwear post

Lest you think it is nothing but frogging to clear the huge WIP pile, I’m *so* close to finishing my Field Sweater.
An extra-wide 1x1 ribbed hem held-together with mohair was certainly a…choice 😮‍💨! #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

Another one No Longer On My Needles! 🐸 Stockholm Slipover (Petite Knits) in La Bien Aimee Corrie worsted 🧶. Chose the wrong size - thinking roomy for layers, but it was huge. Handling the wool reminded me how much I LOVE it! It might be next in the needles (for a different pattern). #ShowMeYourKnits
The upper body of an in progress hand knit vest in a greenish, heathered yellow wool. Two unwound and unknit skeins of the same wool are beside it. The vest has been unraveled into four balls of wool of varying sizes that sit beside the new unwound skeins.

I’m doing this! It’s scratching my itch for advent things & yarn, without another full calendar (which I def don’t need!). Looking forward to Dec 01 🎄🧦! #knitting
A red satin bag on a wooden floor next to a small circular knitting needle. It’s got a mystery advent sock skein in it, but obviously you can’t see that from here.

More like What’s *not* on My Needles, but the decision is made & the 🐸 is done…
Love the Onion yarn, love the Trompe le Monde sock pattern (Summer Lee); didn’t love them together. Looks messy to me & not enough contrast. Debated for ages, but never picked them up to work on them…so. #ShowMeYourKnits
Cuff of an in progress hand knit sock in purple and navy yarn. It’s got a purple ribbed cuff and a slip stitch pattern over purple and navy stripes. The sock has been unraveled and is now just two slightly messy, squiggly balls of purple and navy yarn and an empty circular needle.

Can someone a little more skilled with their colorwork take up this request to knit up an Abolish Ice hat and get it to Chicago!? It would feel like such an honor to do it but I'm just not quick enough!
moryan.bsky.social Mo Ryan @moryan.bsky.social · 2d
These hats look so cool! I am one of the protesters outside the Broadview ICE facility and it’s getting colder, I would love one of these hats. Do either of you take commissions perhaps? I would be happy to pay for a hat. Thank you for considering this! And no worries if it’s not something you do 🌸

Break from the regularly scheduled #knitting for some quick requests from the kids. One wanted a squishy autumn Sophie scarf 🍂 & the other a cozy for their camping mug ⛺️(with a bottom to keep everything hot; self-drafted pattern). Was able to use same deep stash Cascade 220 sport 🧶 for both.

Nebula kit being knit up in @ambahobrien.bsky.social magiclandswrap design 🧶

I seriously couldnt be more thrilled with how this is knitting up. Im loving the little pools of light scattered and bunched up in the dark section. Love the stepped band of the main colour along the right side 😍#knitsky
Knitting and yarn laying on a white background The mini skeins are being added in numerical order (1 to 24) with the larger ball of yarn used continuously on the right side. The minis start at a dark brown and progress through to light caramels, then pinks and light blue. They are all heavily speckled and have a light section which has caused pooling in the knitting Same layout as the previous photo but zoomed in more to see speckles Zoomed in closer showing the join where minis and the main colour combine Extra zoomed in to see the garter fabric and speckles

Last touches done and I'm wearing it. Still not blocked. That will even out the stitches a bit whenever it happens. Probably when it needs a wash. Surprisingly soft too! But then, I'm practically impervious to the scratchiness of wool on skin.

Phew 💀, last week was gruesome 🩸! A chance for some lovely lost things to shine again, but hard viewing! Let’s go pretty for week 66; show me your CABLES!

I seem to be showing a lot of hats recently, but Cable Baby Hat and Talitha Beanie showing off my most recent cabling. #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶
A small mustard yellow hand knit baby hat with a cable and ribbing pattern and an iCord sprig at the top. It is modelled on a ball of yarn and looks like a pear. A green hand knit baby bonnet with a cable pattern and pointy top. It has iCord ties is modelled on a ball of yarn.

Son moved into dodgy Uni accommodation that had moths 😱! Found the leftovers for both main & contrast colours (miracle), but kept finding holes/ areas of weakness. Ended up going all the way back to leg. #ShowMeYourKnits
(Yes, he was banned from bringing anything from the flat back to the house!)
Close up of the foot of a hand knit sock showing at least five ragged holes. Two balls of unknit yarn in the same colours sit beside it. The leg of a hand knit sock now on knitting needles. A pile of squiggly ripped out yarn sits beside on the floor.

Important update: SLEEVE! Added longer ribbing in the cuff, held together with mohair to mirror the yoke - I love the fabric that the two make! Also have a better idea of how much yarn I have left and what the body can be. Getting there… #knitting 🧶

🧛‍♀️ Not surprisingly, one of the biggest casualties from this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits horror stories 🧟‍♀️ is HATS! Daughter lost this within 48hrs of receiving 😱. Only have these pics of me during fit check, excuse my face…🫤Classic Ribbed Hat by @purlsoho.bsky.social in 1x1 rib on 3.25mm; took forever! 🧶
Awkward selfie of a woman wearing a hand knit 1x1 beanie with the brim folded. Knit in a light blue yarn with tweed speckles.

Hat (aspirational). Relevant to this week’s SMYK post, I’ve started a #Musselburgh in La Bien Aimee merino singles, from deep stash. Hard to photograph blues & teals against a lovely grey & occasional tiny green bits 😍. Seems small compared to my last version, but *trust the process* 🧶!
Little circle that is the start of a hand knit hat, knit from the top down. Yarn is lovely blue, teal, grey, variegated, but not exactly the colour pictured here.

🧛‍♀️Spooky season, HORROR KNITTING STORIES 🧟‍♀️! Lost it 😥? Shrunk it 🫣? Felted it 🫢? Eaten by moths 😱?!? Week 65: Show us your lovely lost pieces. NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED🩸

Happy Hipster Hat in @lottieknits.bsky.social special +cashmere Fledgling Sock; so of course I lost it 😭! #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶
Awkward selfie of a woman’s head wearing a green and teal handknit hat in stockinette stitch with 1x1 brim ribbing. Picture is a fit check by the knitter, but I lost it before I got the chance to take a nicer photo.

Just very seriously thwarted in my attempt to cast on a new hat (I do actually need one…) by all needles & cables being used elsewhere and too much faff to steal them…
Which tells me I have too many projects & I should deal with them which is the right message but I don’t have to like it #knitting 🧶

Definite palette for the October knits; not consciously, but hard to imagine I haven’t been influenced by the autumn leaves 🍂🍁🍃. Some impromptu Sophie Scarves using leftovers and deep stash! #knitting 🧶
A little pile of in-progress hand knits. An olive green hood, a cream sweater with cream and brown grain stitches, and two small garter stitch scarves in orange and gold. The unknit yarn sits next to them.

Off the needles, unblocked! Italian bind-off acquired but not sure I love it for this piece 🧐. Only 2 rows ribbing before 2 double-knitting set up rows; feels like rib doesn’t really get established? Anyway, 1st time to do folded ribbing w/bind-off around face…learned that too 😮‍💨! #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶
