That would be so cool!!

Thank you

She has thought she was a princess since she could speak, so that’s fitting! 🤭

Bright purple, long sleeved pullover with a front pocket on a dress form with bricks and a mini Japanese maple for the backdrop.

A mustard yellow knit ribbed cardigan divided for the sleeves on a background of my jeans!

(I know it’s upside down! 🙃) But, I finally divided for the sleeves on my daughter’s copycat cardigan! She has decided that she would rather it have long sleeves vs the original that had short sleeves! Lucky for her, I bought extra yarn just in case!

Thank you!

A handspun, Christmas colored sock, minus the ribbing, on a black background.

Heel turn is done! Now for 60 rounds of ribbing and I’ll be done!

Thank you! I hope I don’t let you down! 😆

A sock toe made from red, white, gold, and green hand spun yarn on circular needles. Grey background.

🧦 Second sock toe is done! I’m hoping to get the whole thing done by the end of the month! 😬 Here’s hoping! 🤞🏻

Making progress on my daughter’s copycat cardigan while selling my bagels today.

So far, this morning has been really slow, but I’m hoping for a pickup around lunch! 🤞🏻

I absolutely adore your yarn bowl! Omg! 😆

Thank you! 😊

I forgot to share that, before I started my handspun Christmas socks, I finished socks 10/12 for the requested knit sock advent my daughter requested! Only 2 more pair to go!

Working on a Christmas sock, with my Christmas handspun, and using my Christmas project bag!

This handspun is called “Happy Elf” and it was spun by me! I was inspired to use it by a friend of mine who buys my handspun l and recently completed some socks with it!

Daughter’s favorite sweater has been outgrown, so what do you, as a knitting mom do when one can’t be found to purchase? Make one as similar as possible! 😂

I swear this is why my teenagers still act like I exist; so I can recreate their favorite clothes!

August finishes! Didn’t get as many things done last month as I had hoped, but two are better than zero.

Sweater is: Gansey Family in Knit Picks Brava Tweed

Socks are: A random made up pattern in some very old stash sock weight yarn.

That’s so neat!

I sew them in as I go; whenever I add a new skein, I sew in any ends from the previous one.

After being in testing since the beginning of December 2024 (I like to give my testers the ability to have a life), my Lightweight Amberfall Cardigan will be ready for release soon! My projected date is 15 September!

There’s a DK weight version already available!

Minty blue, slightly textured socks on a dark brown wooden floor background. Socks have slight texture on the upper made of 3-in-3 stitches and 1x1 ribbing for the cuff.

The pair is finished! 😅 This makes 9 out of 12 pairs finished for the requested hand knit sock advent for my eldest kid!

Why does the second sock always seem to fly by compared to the first? Is it like that for anyone else?

This is so pretty! Definitely a color palette I’m drawn to!

Light blue, textured top, shortie sock on a background of my black leggings.

Sock #1 is FINALLY finished. At least it turned out cute, right? Now to slog through sock #2.

#knitting #knitsky #sockknitting #handmade

I have the same thing! I’m never quite as content in the summer as I am in the autumn and winter. I actually loathe summer and it’s incessant heat!! 🫣

The color of your yarn is so gorgeous and makes me long for falling leaves! 🍂

A half finished, light blue, textured shortie sock on a background of my jeans!

I am absolutely, positively NOT a fan of top down socks. I feel like they take for-ev-er. So why am I doing a top down sock, you ask? Because I wanted these little 3-in-3 flowers to lay a specific direction. 😭

A picture divided into thirds. 1st photo at the top left corner is of the dyed fiber I used in pastels. The second photo, bottom left, is of the singles spun up on the wheel. And the third photo is of the finished, plied yarn in hank form.

She turned out so pretty!

Multicolored handspun yarn, chain plied on a purple bobbin.

Whew! All those years of cat’s cradle sure do come in handy when chain plying! 😂

Thank you!

I finished them in July. The socks got started and finished in July, but the cardigan was started on June 5th and the pullover was started on June 17th.

Project Wrap up: 2 pairs of vanilla socks with 2x2 ribbing, 1 “Mazzy” cardigan, and 1 gradient pullover!

Goodbye, July 👋 Hello, August! 🌻

July flew by in a flurry of yarn and stitches, and I managed to finish four knit projects along the way! 🧶✨

August, I’m ready for more making, more color, and maybe a little less sweating. 😅💛 What are you working on this month?

#knitsky #knitting #handmade

Yes!! 🙌🏻 I can buy all the neat looking yarn doing vanilla socks!!
