Shooting Stars pattern by Cindy Craft Materials

Here’s a link to the next project pattern. I think it will be refreshing to follow someone else’s before diving into more original ideas.

There was a similar article in the Boston Globe! Warms my heart to see local sources of wool working together.

I love that you keep sniffing your yarn. I, too, am a compulsive yarn sniffer. ❀️

I love reading how folks have repurposed their #feltedproject #horrorstories for #showmeyourknits this week. Resilience and creativity in action! 🧢

I should rename that one on Ravelry to Heartbreak Shawl!

A ribbed, wool pullover sweater in colorful sections designed to match one my child loved having their Animal Crossing avatar wear. The collar is a bright orange, yoke is deep green, white stripe, back to orange till just above the elbow on the sleeves, then a stripe of deep green, stripe of orange, a kind of wheat-yellow heather for main body and down rest of sleeves, back to orange for hemlines.

Purlbreak shawl by Stephen West in purple for center section, added a mossy green stripe with purple, then section of heathered pumpkin orange with purple stripes, then section of bright cream and pale green with purple stripes for last section. All stripes are broken up at regular intervals by a vertical one stitch strip of purple that ties the design together.

Gather round for a couple knitting #horrorstories for Week 65 of #showmeyourknits

1-The time I opened the dryer to find TheKid’s #AnimalCrossing sweater felted beyond repair.
2- When I realized I left my Purlbreak Shawl hanging on the porch of a resort to dry after I left the country. 😭

OK, so that big push last week was not fruitful. #Knitting away all cocky while watching TV and held up my work to evaluate it when I noticed a #droppedstitch tucked just before the ribbing starts. Now that it’s fixed, I’ll try it on again tomorrow before binding off.

A hand holds a fluffy pink WIP left of center over a black cat lounging on a cross legged person wearing brown corduroy pants. The scene feels cozy and you can see that the knitter has just begun the first rounds of ribbed stitch, which indicates that they are working on finishing and edge on their project.

I’m making a big push to finish the body of this sweater today! Conditions are perfect: n’oreaster blowing outside, day off, cat firmly planted on my lap.

Week 63 theme is #spookyknits for #showmeyourknits
I don’t really have any, but my black cat is featured in this #catstack portrait set of our cats. Does that count?

Week 61 of #showmeyourknits is show me something that brings you JOY πŸŽ‰ or that you have #knit to CARE πŸ’• for others.
Each year I make teacher gifts during the holidays to show my appreciation for my kid’s teachers. These little cable trees are ones I made last year.

Time for another round of β€˜What’s on Your Needles?’ 🧢Week 58 of #ShowMeYourKnits

I’ve stalled out on this sweater project and grabbed a crochet hook to make a #decahedronstar for a friend’s baby that was born earlier this year. More time for #WIPs as the farm season swings to an end next month!

Sweaters for #showmeyourknits week 57! This time around I’ll share the first custom sized sweater I made at a workshop at @circleofstitches.bsky.social where Ana introduced me to Jane Richmond’s Ladies Classic Raglan Sweater pattern that launched many original designs of mine.
