Finished these bad boys on the 4 hour drive to the out of state baby shower. I never want that level of stress in my life again lol.
First sweater is part of the Petite Knit Seaside set and second is the Storm Sweater Baby by Petite Knit 🧶

Relaxing this evening with a new book and my Nexxus cardigan 🧶
The book is The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager - we read another of his for book club and now I’m hooked!

I just finished a pair of socks that I started about a year ago and the second sock’s toe is so different from the first that I think TAAT might be my go-to for socks from now on!

Two cakes of variegated yarn at the top in colors ranging from teal to brown to dark blue with two blue sock cuffs on red cords at the bottom of the photo.
Using my fresh handspun to try out 2 at a time socks for the first time. Love how this colorway by @hipstrings.bsky.social spun up!

I tell people I intentionally have one mistake in every sweater so I know it’s mine. Non-knitters totally believe it’s a feature and not a mistake lol. Embrace it!

I look at it the same way I look at type 2 diabetes and obesity. I’d love to see changes that include better access to healthy food and a priority on an active lifestyle but I certainly wouldn’t deny a patient access to their insulin while we fix our society.

Just cleaned up a tree that fell in my yard with all the crazy weather we’re having in Virginia. Now it’s time to relax with a good book and my Traveller Shell WIP by @dreareneeknits.bsky.social 🧶 #knitsky #showmeyourknits

A braid of unspun wool in dark tones of blue, purple, and gray
This weekend’s spin. A combo of Southdown, Dorset and nylon in the color Restructuring by @hipstrings.bsky.social. It’s destined to become a sock one day! 🧶 #knitsky #handspun
09.02.2025 18:08 — 👍 38 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I just finished the book club cardigan and I love it. I’m not a huge fan of knitting cables but I love a cabled sweater. That being said, the cable pattern on the cardigan was easy to follow and a really enjoyable knit.

Ribbed beige cardigan with only one sleeve
One sleeve down, one to go! The lighting makes this look gray but it’s actually a light beige. Excited to have this in my wardrobe this spring 🧶
Margaux cardigan by @rustknitwear.bsky.social
Swatching for the Traveller She’ll by @dreareneeknits.bsky.social and this just isn’t doing it for me. The khaki color looked much more on the warm yellow side when I bought it online so it’s time to stash dive! 🧶

It’s #wipwednesday! Working on my briochealicious shawl by @dreareneeknits.bsky.social. This has been on the needles for a while but I’m almost done with the final brioche section. Hoping to have it done in time to use it this winter! 🧶
