I decided the lil Nightcrawler must be cold so I made him some clothes. #knitsky #knitting
Picture depicts a white knitted Fresno Nightcrawler ornament. It looks like a pair of white pants with eyes. It has a red and white stocking cap on the side of its head and a sprig of holly on one leg.

A sudden need to knit a Fresno Nightcrawler ornament gripped my soul this evening. As Ravelry offered few knit patterns of the best pants-based cryptid (shocking, I know), I modified a free bear plush pattern to suit my dark purposes. Behold my son. He's perfect and I love him. #knitsky #knitting
A picture of a white knitted plush ornament in a warmly lit Christmas tree. The ornament depicts the Fresno Nightcrawler, which looks like a big pair of pants. Large black eyes are inserted in its head/body.

Without downloading new pictures, describe your gender.

I'm sorry! I can relate.
Text reads "a drawing of my immune system" above a cartoon of a sheet ghost with an angry face drawn on notebook paper. It is captioned @chronicillnessmemes at the bottom.

My spouse and I have been playing Blue Prince together, so I made him a present to commemorate the fact that we've (almost) completed the game. (Self-drafted pattern.) #CrossStitch #StitchSky
Photo shows a small cross-stitch project of gold stars in an apple-shaped constellation on dark blue fabric. Surrounding the constellation are the words "Apples are extra delicious today." The framed project is on a warm-hued wooden table.

I knit based on vibe and not season, but next in my unplanned yet appropriate summer of knitting cropped tank tops: the Ripple Bralette by @jessiemaeddesigns.bsky.social. I'm really pleased with the final result! Top is knit in Universal Yarns Bamboo Pop Sock in 801 Tundra. #knitsky #knitting 🧶
Photo shows a spaghetti strap tank top with purple, blue, green, and tan stripes. The tank is on a cream-colored blanket with grey bats.

Finished the Fairy Chasm Tank Top by Witching Hour Knits! It's not perfect; but for my first knit garment, I'm pretty pleased! @jacintheattic.bsky.social, feel free to include this in your video. Thanks for running the #FairyChasmKAL! #knitsky 🧶
Picture shows a knit purple tank top with a very deep v-neck. The tank is arranged on a cream-colored blanket with grey bats.

I still need to attach straps and the crossbar, but my #FairyChasmKAL tank top is so close to being done! I'm going to wash and block it before attaching the straps because this yarn stretches SO MUCH when blocking. Yarn is Universal Yarns Dunescape in Foxglove. @jacintheattic.bsky.social
Picture shows a nearly-finished purple knit tank top on a wooden table. The tank top has a deep V and spaghetti straps.

Proof (haha bread puns) of my baking!

I've made two of these! The pattern has a wide array of sizes and is clearly written. Recommended!

Both projects I CO this week are green (at least partially) and fit the #showmeyourknits prompt! First, the Luxe Hand Towel by Kate Bispala (KP Vividie in Douglas Fir). Second, the Boneyard Shawl by Westknits (Hobbii Twister in Jungle). #knitting #knitsky 🧶
