As much as I hate mentioning the other place…I ❤️ this (it’s a screen grab not a link) Makes so much more sense than the other proposed name. 🦈🍹🧉 🌴🦜🏝️ #JimmyBuffet #finsup #parrotheadforever

Colorwork was calling my name this winter, so I don’t have many #cables to share. Here’s one of the few. #showmeyourknits #knitting #knittersofbluesky 🧶

Finished my #VioletsinSnow #hat First #original #design of the year and I have to say, I really like it! To see the whole process, follow me over in Insta. In the meantime, here’s the completed #surialpaca and #mohair #slouch hat #knitting #knittersofbluesky 🧶 Image credit: ©️2025 Jay Hammond

My #Christmas present to myself arrived! #kniitersyear #planner #knitting #crochet 🧶

The longest night of the year is over! From here on out, the days will be getting longer. Seems like a good time to introduce my #crochet #SunriseSunset reading wrap. Made w/ Caron’s #MacchiatoCake in Bewitch, it features a good & pockets big enough for a cone of #yarn, #knitting needles & a book

In honor, support, & celebration of the #SafeDrinkingWater Act signed into law by then-President Gerald Ford on 16 December 1974, #showmeyourblues! Also: did you know that 2+ million Americans don’t have running #water & 75+ million live in regions that don’t meet the 1974 standards? 🧶 #knitting 💦💧

My #labels finally showed up. A little late for last Sunday’s craft fair but hey, they got here so I will have them going forward. #USPS you’re killing me this year 🙄 Photo credit ©️2024 JC Hammond #knittersofbluesky 🧶 #aspenleavesfalling

Good morning 🧶 people! What’s on your needles & hooks today? I just added the purple to my #violetsinsnow concept. First time in a hot minute I’ve done multi-colored #strandedknitting so of course I’m using #alpaca & #mohair in #sock & #lace weight. 🤦🏽 I think I need more ☕️☕️

Last night’s #fuzzy feeling has become the start of a new #hat. An original design I’m tentatively calling “Violets in snow” #knitting #wip #wipwednesday #alpaca 🧶

Yesterday’s #craftfair went pretty well, given that it was the first one I’d shown at this century. I think my pricing was about right too since 5 of my #handknit #hats went to good homes with my church family. (Photo by Jay Hammond. 2024 All rights reserved) #knitting #craftsky 🧶

I’m working on a #UnionCowl in purples and blues but it would work with any 4 minis
December 6, 2024 at 12:12 PM
Approximately 20 more rows to #knit on the #UnionCowl by #BobbiIntveld that I want to wear to Dad’s memorial service tomorrow. #malabrigoyarn #blueskyyarns #lykkeneedles #showmeyourknitting #WIP #funeralknitting 🧶

On Sunday, 8 December, I will be exhibiting and selling #handknit #hats at the Magdalene #Holiday Market at St. Augustine of Canterbury #Episcopal Church in Elkhorn, Nebraska. If you are in the area please stop by and say hello! #knitting #crochet #craftshow 🧶

Somebody needs to add #knits elderberry suri #yarn to the list of heroic feats of #knitting Love the feel of alpaca even though it’s tough on the eyes. 🧶 is BlueSky Fiber Prairie at the start of a Union Cowl. Needles are Lykke copper.

The joys of blocking. (No, not that kind 🙃) #knitting #hats 🧶

May I join you? I just cast on a yurt #hat (left version in a purple and grey tweed #yarns) Pattern from Swing Swagger Drape by Jane Slicer-Smith (2009) #knitting 🐑 🧶

Some morning inspiration: "Technology is nothing. What's important is that you have faith in people, that they're basically good and smart—and if you give them tools, they'll do wonderful things with them.” Steve Jobs (circa 1994)

My #yarnstash may resemble this 😂 Does yours?

I’ve been struggling with 2 skeins of #yarn for more than a week. One is a bulky tonal. The other a cream & blue of varying weights. There have been many false starts & frogged projects as I looked for the right design to show them off. Finally, they have resolved themselves into a hat! #knitting

I have a love hate relationship with “one size fits all/most” Why do so many people want to wear the exact same thing in the exact same size? That’s not #fashion, it’s a uniform. So even though I use patterns for my #hats, each is unique and #handmade #knitting #crochet #yarnsofmanycolors
