I knit a pair of mittens in Brushtale yarn. I got it at Loopine Wool, Auckland NZealand it feels light and soft. I felt uneasy as a vegetarian about yarn made from dead possums. But I learnt that they are invasive and they destroy native wildlife and have to be controlled. #knitsky #mittens #knit

I made a mistake in my post. I had thought it was a blend but when I checked I found it was actually 100% baby alpaca.

Headbands knit with baby alpaca/merino blend #showmeyourknits #knitsky #headbands

Slogging away at the foot of the second sock. The end is finally in sight. Don’t think I will bother with color worked socks again - they take too long. #knitting #socks #bunnies #rabbit

I made two Dot Dash Headbands in double knitting. I used Valley Yarns 100% baby alpaca. I used a pattern from the book Knitting from the North by Hilary Grant. It was my first time doing double knitting. They are completely reversible. #knitting #knitsky #alpacayarn

I finished another little rabbit with clothes and carrying bag. #knitting #rabbit #knitsky #knittingtoys #knittedrabbits

I finally finished my dog face butterfly baby blanket with all of the stages of metamorphosis- look for the eggs! #showmeyourknits #knitsky #babyblanket

Knitting a baby blanket with the dog face butterfly for someone in CA. Knit with Malabrigo in colorway lettuce. I’m also adding the female butterfly, the larva, pupa and egg. Dogface is the official CA butterfly. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #babyblanket

Remembering my father and grandfathers and their sacrifices fighting in WWI and WWII. My grandfather is seated in the middle. #memorialday

I finally finished my Le Coeur est un Oiseau sweater. I was worried it would be itchy because the yarn has 30% hemp and lots of bits sticking out. But it actually feels ok now it’s blocked. I might knit this again in a smaller size. #knitting #knitsky #showyourknit #biscotteyarn

As we approach Memorial Day let’s not forget this

Love the octopus

I always like to have more than one project on the go. Socks are always a good travel project. Now I’m starting a baby blanket , more of an at home project. #showwhatyouknit #knitsky #knitting #babyblanket #malabrigoyarn
