A green knit sleep hat with pearly white and silver beads in a pattern all over the hat and a white fur pompom. Modeled on a glass head.

I learned how to bead on the knitting machine! Thank you Terri Martin for a great pattern! Yarn is deep stash, beads are just the cheap kind from Michael’s plus some from a friend‘s deep stash, and the pompom is also from stash! #SK860 #12MOHKAL25 #machineknitcommunity 🧶

I recently finished this #handknitsweater . The lighter colored yarn here is extra special as it’s my mom’s #handspun Polwarth! The green is @missbabs.com #killingtonyarn (also a Polwarth and silk blend). Pattern is #metamorphicsweater by @dreareneeknits.bsky.social 🧶

About 20 or so rows of knitting at the start of a half circle shawl with a row counter hanging from it on a red circular needle cord held in a hand on top of jeans. Yarn is bluish green.

150g skein of green gradient yak silk blend yarn wound into a large cake

I have a gorgeous 150g skein of White Birch Fiber Arts Yak Silk gradient that is just begging to be a lacy shawl.

After reviewing many many pattern ideas, @romidesigns.bsky.social ‘s ravel.me/darkest-befo... just leapt off the screen and said CAST ME ON!

Always trust your gut! 🧶

Just finished a sweater! 🌈🧶 This was a hand knit pattern I converted for my knitting machine, and while the rewrite was a challenge, the knitting itself was so much fun. I’m in love with the mix of ribbing, stripes, rainbow colors-and it has pockets! I hand knit the cowl neck for a seamless finish.
