A pale yellow and pink textured hat is half knitted on a set of circular needles. A light purple cake of yarn is sitting behind it, with a stack of finished hats off to the side.

Thirteen are ready to go (well, after a block party), one is on the needles and one more skein planned. I'm hoping to get them mailed in a week or two!

A wobbly pile of hand knitted hats sitting on a work table

Thirteen colorful hand knitted hats are spread across a work table

🧶 Oh, I'm so happy to have this prompt for #showmeyourknits

I've been making hats for #KnitTheRainbow all year and just tossed them in a box when I finished

A light peach knitting project held up with a cloudy sky, wooden dock, calm lake, and distant mountains behind

🧶 Having a quiet moment with my current WIP at the lake 🌊

A very messy workspace, with several small toys partially knitted, and open pattern book showing an adorable tiny teddy bear pattern, and several bowls and baskets of yarn.

🧶 All other knitting is on pause while I frantically knit tiny prizes for my Knit for Food donors! It is the best possible problem to have.

Oh my goodness, this is GORGEOUS!

I loved "Back After This" by Linda Holmes! Perfect light-hearted fiction read.

A small square of textured knitting in natural white wool, held in a hand with a sunny garden in the background. The yarn is from a local sheep and the pattern is/will be Blackberry Sheep.

🧶 I've been having a lot of fun this weekend getting my Knit for Food campaign launched. I offered to knit something tiny and adorable for everyone that donates; this will be a little sheep for a cousin. ☺️

Perfect, thank you!

Oooh, I need to try this! Is the template part of a pattern?

It looks so good, and the fit seems perfect!

That's great! It's been a fun pattern to knit, and for me was a great way to use up some scraps from other projects.

It could be! I've been using it for ages and really like it. My to-be-read pile is so much easier to manage there.

StoryGraph! It's great, independent, created and owned by a Black woman. If you used Goodreads recently there are option to migrate content in as well I think?

Great, thank you!

A large, colorful sculpture in a garden on a sunny day, next to a flowering tree. The sculpture is "Wind Sculpture VII" by Yinka Shonibare. It is six meters tall, and is shaped like a flowing piece of cloth. It is covered in bright patterns, with yellow and pink base colors. There are yellow grasses growing in sweeping clusters around the base of the sculpture. The tree is a type of magnolia with large pink flowers just starting to bloom, and no leaves. Many many tourists pointed to it and said "hey, a cherry tree".

A woman's hand holding up a piece of slate blue textured knitting on a circular needle. In the background there is a large colorful sculpture and a blossoming tree, it both are out of focus. The knitting pattern is Cloudesley and the yarn is Knitting for Olive pure silk.

🧶 Oh, I've had the nicest day of museums and gardens and wandering around. I took a quick knitting break by a sculpture made by a favorite artist.

If it's not hard to find I'd love to know! I got hooked on the Emotional Support Chicken pattern and want to make so many more little friends now.

I love that frog. Did you use a pattern or improvised?

It's gorgeous!!

It took me a long time to be ready!

A hand holding a sock-in-progress on four double pointed needles, with an olive green suitcase in the background. The sock is made of green and tan variegated yarn, and is knitted toe-up.

🧶 Good morning #knitsky! Here's my green traveling sock with my green suitcase for #ShowMeYourKnits.

Thanks! The pattern is Aidez from Berrocco. The yarn is labeled "Harrisville Designer", but I should note that I inherited it at least 20 years ago, and it wasn't new then. ☺️

I like that! And I've also ripped a few sweaters back to skeins, when it was yarn that I really know I'd like to knit with again.

A multicolored sock modeled on my foot. The toe of the sock is dark green, the sole is bright yellow, the instep is raspberry pink, and the heel and cuff are aqua. The pattern is Kumiko from Pompom magazine, and the yarn is brown sheep lambs pride superwash sport.

🧶 My first Kumiko sock is of the needles! Just in time for the end of #scrapalong2025

#knitsky #sockknitting

Thank you! It's even better in person--I keep trying to capture all the depth and flecks of color but can't quite manage to do it justice.

A woman standing on a porch, wearing a dark blue cabled cardigan over a green t shirt and jeans. The cardigan has yarn ends still loose. The pattern of the cardigan is Aidez from Berrocco and the yarn is Harrisville Designer.

🧶 And we are done! It's a perfect snug fit, so I am hoping that I can coax a little extra ease with another blocking. The yarn isn't actually as rough as I thought, so I could wear it without a long sleeved layer underneath.
#knitsky #knitting #FO

I am hoping so! I did block the pieces to size before seaming, the trouble is that I knitted the pieces almost four years ago and the size of my body has changed in the meantime. 😂

A dark blue cabled cardigan with one open seam is lying on a work table.

🧶 Almost finished!
#knitsky #knitting

Yes! It's definitely helped to give the yarn an extra twist as I go.

A woman is wearing a dark blue cable knit cardigan with plastic clips holding the side seams and sleeve seams together. She is holding the front of the cardigan together with one hand, and taking the picture with the other.

A dark blue cabled cardigan is lying in a workable, with plastic clips holding the unfashioned side seams together. There is a ball of matching yarn sitting next to the sweater.

🧶 Well, there's good news and bad news. Good news is that all four raglan seams (and a surprise short back neck seam) went together neatly, and the cardigan looks great. The bad news is that it is a tighter fit than I want, especially for something I'll need to use as outerwear. #knitsky #knitting

A cabled raglan cardigan being sewn together. The two back raglan seams are completed, and the front pieces are laid out in position and partially sewn together. The sweater is knit from chunky dark blue wool, and is spread out on an old wooden drafting table with a gray cutting mat.

🧶 Making progress!!
