My Oktobervest WIP is coming along! I’m mostly working on my Rhinebeck sweater at present, but it’s a “stay at home and focus” type of project, so I’m glad this knitting meetup gave me an excuse to work on it. Photo stolen from @botanicalknitter.bsky.social

I’m not usually a beach gal, but my trip to Tybee Island was lovely.
I walked miles, swam in the ocean, ate oysters, read two books, laughed with my family, & knit. That’s it. I needed the time to process the assassination of the Hortmans, the shooting of the Hoffmans, & heal my exhausted heart.
Join me and other fiber friends on Saturday, May 10 from 1-2pm.
We will meet on the lawn area outside barns and near food trucks. Bring your WIP and a lawn chair or blanket. If you participated in the #SHkerchiefmal, we will also share our FOs and take a group photo.

Abby’s Scarf
This formula-style pattern has fun texture shifts, plays around with colors, and is very memorizable.

Weekends are for making.
I worked on my Avenue Tee and finished two sewing projects.
Chris made delicious blueberry english muffins and everything seasoning bagels.

Variations Cowl No. 1 by @tifneilanhandknits.bsky.social
This was such a fun knit—engaging but memorizable. The interrupted garter stitch and five colors kept things interesting, & I love the exposed seam detail. The sport-weight yarn makes it light & wearable.

See ewe this Sunday 3/16 from 2-4pm at Falling Knife Brewing Co.

Classic cables + worsted weight yarn = quick and fun knit. I finished this hat back in January & have worn it a bunch thanks to cold Minnesota temps.

Watching @botanicalknitter.bsky.social podcast & working on a new test knit for @tifneilanhandknits.bsky.social This one is extra special because one of the skeins I’m using is gorgeous handspun gifted to me by @knitwitninja.bsky.social
#testknitter #alwaysknitting #shareyourwip #memadewardrobe
Finish a test knit, start a test knit.
I love this springy color combo. After digging through my stash, I pulled together three naturally-dyed beauties, a corriedale/angora blend, & a spincycle skein. 🧶
