A beautiful October afternoon on the Pratt Loop above Ebey’s Prairie. #WalkWhidbey

Yay! So glad you’re offering this as a pattern. It’s a beautiful shawl!

Thea Colman’s Oban Vest in a locally spun merino/targhee DK (alas, the mill closed a few years ago). I narrowed the shoulders to hit at the sleeve seam of my one and only collared shirt. Must look for more….

Inspiring! This has been on the to-do list for ages, even have the yarn for it - maybe this winter…

Outward Bound socks - pattern coming soon! A test knit for @bythesilverbirch.bsky.social. Loved knitting these, love the result. This design would be great in a solid, speckled, variegated, or even a striped yarn. It’s also a fun, quick knit!

And I have never read Hiroshima Mon Amour. How did that happen?

Is that a one-color Tonnach in progress? The yarn is lovely!

I’d love to test for you. Nancy (Northernflicker on Ravelry). Usually knit a 64-stitch sock.

That knitting is far more even than mine!

Love that ochre color. Plans for it?

With a perfect color match of dress and decor!

Stripes, color changing, crescent shape - all the things a shawl should have. Is the pattern available on Ravelry?

Something I’ve always wanted to try! Details on workshop?

Both fabulous designs. I’m tempted by Virginia, and can’t wait to see your Jemima colors unfold.

That is very impressive knitting for a beginner.

It doesn’t flop, unfortunately, just sticks straight up. I will try shortening the body of the hat next time. I’m sure I can find a head for this one.

Can’t wait to get my blue skeins!

The crown stands straight up - if it slouched I’d definitely wear it!

And of course there will be a next one.

Shetland Wool Week hat 2025, the Aal Ower Toorie, in Jamieson’s Spindrift. Happy with the colors and the knitting. Alas, it’s far too big. Contemplating another using a smaller needle size. Blues and greens, maybe? #knitting

It looks great! And inspiring - i think the colors I have finally chosen will look quite similar, though less vivid.

Would love to see more about the techniques you’re using in this amazing piece.

Fabulous find! Sorry you had to lose your voice to get these.

Can’t be there in person, but I’ve signed up for the virtual tour.
