A hand-knit colorwork cardigan in mustard, muted green, and dark brown worn by a slight framed 3 year old toddler. The toddler's head has been cropped for privacy. The body is in a honeycomb colorwork pattern with a green button band. The yoke and tops of the sleeves have line drawings of bees, and the colorwork sleeves have alternating rounds of colorwork Xs on mustard and white rounds.

Ok, I need some help. My 3 year old niece was wearing this incredible handknit cardigan she got from a day care child who outgrew it. I desperately want the pattern but can't find it in Rav. Anyone have a lead on where I could get the pattern?

I've decided to use up leftover yarn by knitting @mochimochiland.bsky.social dinosaurs. Self-striping socks for the three nieces, accompanied by Ptara the Ptiny Pterodactyl from @knitrino.bsky.social, Tori the Tiny Triceratops, and Amy the Apatasaurus.

Pleasant time working on the Batsy hat from @knitrino.bsky.social at my local community center. Pink and purple yarn from Malabrigo, custom project bag from @plankandstella.bsky.social. Colors on request from 6 year old niece.

A grey-haired white woman stands in a desert landscape next to a Palo Verde tree, looking towards the edge of the frame. She wears a gauzy asymmetric shawl of alternating stockinette and reverse stockinette in a vibrant medium green with sheen and drape. The yarn came from https://abstractfiber.com/collections/came-yak-silk.

Same person as in the previous picture faces away from the camera and looks off frame. The shawl pattern of bands of stockinette and reverse stockinette provide a muted texture.

This shawl (@shanalinesdesigns.bsky.social's pattern #L'dorVaDor) is the first time I've actually knitted anything with my handspun! The pattern was meditative, with enough shaping and texture to keep me engaged. A glorious 50% camel / 50% silk (Abstract Fiber) I spun to a light 2-ply fingering.

the only way it's acceptable to crochet a Confederate flag is for an art piece where you drag it through a pile of dog shit and set it on fire

I use a light bulb style stitch marker to hold the first two stitches. It clips onto the shawl when not in use.

Vibrant orange-red flowers show up vivid against the green of cactus paddles. Pollinators flit too quickly to be captured on camera but provide a buzzing audio.
