Handspun yarns in yellow, orange, blue, and a blend of all three

The spoils of my Tour de Fleece efforts - opposing ply yarns for socks.
Fiber is @hipstrings.bsky.social Targhee/bamboo/tussah silk in Lemon, Clementine, & Slate. Can’t wait to get the socks cast on! 🧶

Love the green! What type of fiber are you spinning?

Wow! This is so interesting and unique!

This yarn + this pattern is perfection! I love the garter stitch details down the sleeves.

The nails are a coincidence, but kinda also makes me want to start matching all my WIPs!

Split the sleeves on this beauty! I’ll be drowning in stockinette for the next 9-11 inches 🫠

Lots of WIPs in this episode, including the Paisley Purl Yarn/ @frogityarns.bsky.social socks that somehow escaped my memory and made me a liar! 🫠

Multi- colored handknit sweater in progress

#showmeyourknits Purple edition 💜 Working on sleeve two of the Flax DK out of mill ends from Feederbrook Farms

It was a bit easier than it looks! It’s modular knitting with pick ups, and the pattern includes a technique for working with the ends of the yarn so you don’t have to weave them in. Magical!

Lots of folks stopped me to talk about my sweater today at Maryland Sheep & Wool… this masterpiece is the End Time Cardigan by Amy Young Gunderson. I chose to use 553 different yarns, but far less would be equally beautiful 😍

I normally don’t make things twice (besides socks) and this is definitely something I can see myself making again.

This Weekender sweater isn’t my favorite in terms of fit, but I learned so much in the process of making it that I still consider it a win. #knitting

Five hours in for @knitforfood.bsky.social and goals are being smashed! I’m also almost ready to split for sleeves 🧶
#knitting #knitforfood

Text in picture reads: DMing me to say you’re unfollowing me here and on YouTube because I’m supporting Knit For Food and “bringing politics into knitting” is wild AF. If growing up poor and relying on government subsidized programs in order to eat makes this political, then ok I guess?

So this happened over on IG. People are wild.

I don’t have any baby knits for #showmeyourknits this week, but I did cast on the child size of the Shiftalong hat for myself… does that count? 😂
