#7. Merch t-shirt! Loved this year’s design. 8. A copy of Denise DeSantis’ book “No Fear Sock Knitting!” 🧦 🧶

Ooh, that’s super cute but I have SO many hats, I’m thinking I might try to incorporate it into a cowl or even as an accent color in a yolk. Thank you for the suggestion though!

Super helpful, thanks for sending this along!

Steadfast is a DK weight yarn that has been dyed with madder. Madder is from the root of plants. It was dyed on a naturally gray wool, which gives it this rich raspberry color. The photo features seven skeins of this yarn on a white carpet.

Sample knit of the Willow Pullover which has a basket weave design. The designer used a rusty orange color for their sweater.

That makes sense! I made the mistake of knitting this with a super wash before learning that super wash loses its elasticity after blocking, so I had to reinforce my collar with elastic. Part of the learning process! Also learned a lot about grist. 😅🩵

Bloom Pullover pattern by Brianna Mason The Bloom Pullover is a wintry floral colorwork sweater with a cozy double folded neckband. Knitted in a lofty yarn, this sweater is warm yet lightweight for the coldest of winter days.

Thank you! Absolutely, it’s the Bloom Pullover by Brianna Mason. It’s relatively new, only released in February! www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

Thank you! 🥹🩵💫

Me wearing my pink and white Bloom Pullover. Sleeves are pulled up and there’s a window behind me.

Me and my partner taking a selfie at Rhinebeck. He’s wearing a brown and black plaid wool button down jacket and I’m wearing my Bloom Pullover.

Happy Rhinebeck Weekend everyone! The Bloom Pullover was completed last Sunday and I was able to wear it all day yesterday. 🌸🧶So proud of my first colorwork and I can’t wait to show off my haul from yesterday and A Woolyn Affair! #showmeyourknits #knitsky

We love a matching set! 🩵🤣

Partially knit ankle of a sock with blue lettering that says “BUTTER” with some stripes with a butter yellow background/main color.

Started mine too! 🧈 #knitsky #showmeyourknits 🧶

It’s looking beautiful! I promise it’ll get easier and you’ll know the pattern by heart in no time. Mine lives at my office and is so cozy, I get a ton of compliments on it too.

Butter yellow dock with blue accents. The top of the calf area/tube of the sock spells out “BUTTER”.

Person wearing the butter socks!

My friend Alana has designed the cutest Butter Socks! 🧈🧦 🧶 Can’t wait to knit some up! www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #knitsky #showmeyourknits

Yes! 👏🏻

Ooh three quarter is super chic!! I’d say go for it.

Ugh! I feel you. It looks really lovely though!

So I just checked and it’s actually not a 9in cord I think it might be 10” or 12” (sorry it’s hard to measure with the stitches on it haha!) but my shorties are 3.5” too so inevitably I’ll be in your boat as I continue to decrease hah!

Currently I’ve got the sleeve on shorties and a 9” cord, inevitably I’ll probably have to move over magic loop since I don’t have DPNs in this size! Thank you!! 🩵🧶

Partially knit pink and white sweater on a white and green bedspread.

#wipwednesday Getting the sleeves done before Rhinebeck! I was able to get some elastic to reinforce the collar too. 🧶 #knitsky #showmeyourknits

I’ve heard that applies to skiing too! 🤣🧶

Next, I got some Jamieson’s to make a Porty Cardigan for a friend expecting a little girl early next year! It’ll be my first time steeking! #showmeyourknits #knitsky 🧶

Five green skeins of Bluesky Fibers in “Skyland”.

This weekend was the NYC Yarn Crawl and I want to show off my acquisitions! First is Blue Sky Fibers Skyland in the color Comet for Meeshyfrazz’ Anacortes Pullover! #knitsky 🧶 #showmeyourknits

Aww!! 🪄

Making progress! #knitsky 🧶

Never a bother when it comes to Miffy!!!

I hope you find them!! 🩵🧶

I know folks have mixed feelings about Amazon, but I found them listed there as “Miffy Food Storage Container Set” !

Isn’t it adorable?! It comes in a set, I got them from a store in Brooklyn. 🐰

Swatch of Marielle Blouse in Knitting for Olive Dusty Artichoke, which is soft green. The swatch is beside my knitting needles with the back piece beginning to come together along with the two balls of yarn and a Miffy notions case.

Casting on another project! 🤪 Been wanting to start my Marielle Blouse, the Dusty Artichoke yarn has been calling me from the drawer! 🧶 My swatch ended up being 4.5” x 4.25”, so I’ve sized down from a US 6 to US 5. #wipwednesday #knitsky #showmeyourknits Excited to see how it progresses!
