They are beautiful! Very well done

A pile of spaghetti looking yarn next to a newly cast on circle of knitting on top of laptop keyboard. The screen on the laptop shows a still shot from a knitting podcaster wearing a very intricate, colourful handknit colourwork sweater.

Re-casting on the Fiona Sweater by Vicky Chan while watching one of my favourite youtube knitting podcast, @happyknittingpod.bsky.social - what an epic sweater she's wearing today!

Good luck!

Haha I feel the pain... now is the time for planning that new project and willing the current one to be done. Then as soon as it's bound off, throw aside, loose ends and all, and start the next one. At least, that's what I'm like 😂

Stunning!

I will never not be in awe of falling snow. Watching out the kitchen window while I prep my latest dough; its a beautiful sight.

I'm still sick but seeing this always brightens my mood 😊

Kenwood mixer with dough hook completely covered in bread dough. Dough is blurry due to motion. In front of two knitting needles are being held with a small amount of knitting started.

#Knitting 🧶 and #breadmaking 🍞 ! I'm casting on a reknit of my previously frogged Stockholm Sweater v neck, same yarn but a few sizes smaller. Wore the sweater for 6 months, loved it, but it just didn't fit as nicely as it could. So here we go. #knitsky #whatsonmyneedles #reknit #stockholmsweater

Thats very clever!! I always have spares floating around after I choose the one set that fit well. But I never want to throw them away, now I will add them to my knitting supplies instead!

They're so cute! I need to find more kids to knit for 😂

Woke up sick 🤒 so it's a day of couch knitting 🧶 (was going to be anyway). I'm reknitting the sleeves on this Brick sweater in Lettlopi. I knit 3/4 sleeves initially, which looked cute but made no sense with such warm yarn. Going to add length too. #knitting #lettlopi #knitsky #whatsonmyneedles

I really got into bread making in 2025, which I'm continuing in 2026 with my first olive ciabatta loaves. Loving how they've turned out, in looks at least. Taste test has to wait a little longer. #bread #breadmaking #ciabatta #baking #homebaking #smellsgreat #homemadebread

Yeah I've never knit with a machine washable yarn before. I understand they grow a but more than non-superwash. I'm thinking of going with drops baby merino - it seems pretty popular for baby knits.

Oo thats great! Google did tell me it got fairly cool, and I figure what child wouldnt need a sweater a some point, great to hear thats indeed the case. Thanks so much for the message!

Wow that is gorgeous!

Knitters of #knitsky! I need your help, especially those in #spain, or who have been there in winter (or whoever has an opinion really). Does it get cold enough in winter to wear sweaters? A friends is having a baby and I would LOVE to knit one of these gorgeous sweaters. Thoughts? #knitting #help 🧶

I frogged it back to the underarm join 😑 With adjusting to my proportions I forgot to add extra stitches under the arm. So a weeks worth of knitting is no more. #knitting #deepwintercoat #knitsky #cables #knittingpodcast #breien #ripitripit 🧶

This Deep Winter Coat is knitting up SO fast - Drops Nepal held double on 8mm needles does that I guess! Love the look so far. #knitting #cardigan #coat #deepwintercoat #woolandpine #yarn #netherlands #breien

Toe up sock on small circular needle, just started sitting on rop of an active kindle device.

Starting the 2+ hrs travel to Nijkerk for the #breidag (knitting day), a knitting/yarn market. Good company, a good book and a new sock on the needles will make the travel pass nicely. Excited, but have zero plans on what I will/wont buy 😬

Blue spinning bobbin almost overflowing with handspun, 2ply yarn, held up in front of green indoor plants.

I really pushed this bobbin to its limits 😍. A bit of blauwe texelaar hand spun, 2 ply. I'm still very new to spinning, but I'm happy with my progress.

Fresh baked bresd, still in the baking tin, on a kitchen bench. It is a 'volkoren' or wholemeal loaf and the left side is darker than the right.

Bread dough in a baking tin, unbaked, in the final proofing stage - it has risen above the tin and domed quite well. There are three slices into the dough at a diagonal angle to help with the rise.

I made bread today. This uses the discard from my sourdough starter (200g discard, 400g (bread) flour, 200g water) in place of the eqv. flour and water, along with instant yeast. Love using discard this way.

Suuuuuper cute! Love it!

Ooo this looks great! There are dandelions popping up a over the place here...

Fuck yeah, Australia! So proud of my home country 🇦🇺

Love the name!

Doooo iiiit! Its so empowering.

I will learn to knit colour work just for these socks! 😍

They look great! Did you follow a pattern or just wing it? Id love the pattern name if there is one

So fun! Looks great
