Spent the last few days knitting the Kids Porty Cardigan for a friend who’s expecting a baby in March. I love being able to just snap the Jamieson’s by just pulling on it instead of having to breakout a scissor. It’ll be my first steeking project too! 🤣🧶 #showmeyourknits #knitsky

Thank you!! I’m loving everything the pattern designer Maria Schei Mogenstad is creating, I plan on making this cardigan by her as well next.

It’s looking beautiful! I promise it’ll get easier and you’ll know the pattern by heart in no time. Mine lives at my office and is so cozy, I get a ton of compliments on it too.

Casting on another project! 🤪 Been wanting to start my Marielle Blouse, the Dusty Artichoke yarn has been calling me from the drawer! 🧶 My swatch ended up being 4.5” x 4.25”, so I’ve sized down from a US 6 to US 5. #wipwednesday #knitsky #showmeyourknits Excited to see how it progresses!

Love your colors and how rustic your yarn is! I just finished mine on Saturday. I modded the pattern a bit to be more fitted. It’s also my first completed color work—I have a bit of bunching, but I’m still really happy with it. I did half-twisted rib. 🩵🧶 #knitsky

Spent most of the day rallying and finishing the yoke. 💪🏻 (Also just learned it’s yoke and not yolk… 🍳) Doing an in-progress block to make sure everything’s laying flat and not going to bunch up! #showmeyourknits #knitsky 🧶

Wow. I only just learned of Vicuña this year, had no idea Qiviut was a thing. The Musk Ox looks so cute though!
