Indecision led to me just plying each on their self and shelving them to figure out the project later.

Handspun yarn- Kim Dyes Yarn in the still life colorway (the SSK 2024 color).

Handspun yarn - Kim Dyes yarn in the Blackberry colorway

I finished some handspun! Finished the singles awhile ago and was conflicted on whether to ply them on each other or together. I originally wanted to make the rock it tee and stipe the colors but then thought they went together so I could just ply and not faff with striping.

Can’t stop. Won’t stop. I knit this in a week! This is the Tolsta Tee knit in Knit Picks Cotlin. One of my favorite tops I’ve knit! #handlnit

Awww thanks so much!

I haven’t knit socks in awhile but after finishing so many sweaters- socks were just what I needed. Here’s my socktober socks - yarn is Freckled whimsy in the 4th Halloween club color “home sweet haunted home”. Pattern is By the Seine River by Dona Knits. #handknit #socks #socktober

After finishing the languishing sweaters-what else should one do but cast on another!!!! This is the recalibrate sweater by Shana Cohen. The yarn is all handspun by me. The main colors are three waters farm in their 2025 TdF colors. The darker is Frabjous Fibers. #handspun #handknit

Catch up on my WIP down challenge. I’ve finished another sweater! I hand dyed this yarn in 2018! I cast on in 2022 and I finally finished it! This is the Spector by Joji Locateli. The yarn is Knit Picks Stroll dyed by me. #handknitting #handdyed

I’m working on finishing some languishing wips. This one was started in December last year. It is (mostly) the Tic Tac Toe sweater by Ana-Maria (crochethighway). I followed the pattern until I got to the crocheted ribbing. The capital K knitter in me couldn’t do it. So I knit broken ribbing.

I finally finished my @threewatersfarm.bsky.social tour de fleece 2025 colors. This is Slipstreams Pull and Pulling Purple. I spun them end to end and chain plied. These are going to be my main colors for a handspun Recalibrate.

#tourdefleece2025 has come to a close today. I spun 9 little skeins. See my “before” and after ;). This includes a spin along, spinning from a class at SSK, the spun fiber from the fiber pool at SSK and a couple other spins from my Advent in 2023. In total it was about 17 ounces - over a pound!

I finished spinning the plies for my opposing ply sock yarn for the PLY guild spin along. I had time to ply them today and boy is this yarn interesting! It feels so wrong when it is just a bunch of noodles coming off of the Knitty Noddy but I’m trusting the process and about to give them a bath.

Catch up days 3-5 of the #tourdefleece. I’m spinning some Targhee bamboo silk from Hipstrings. We are doing a spin along in the PLY guild. This fiber is yummy!

Day 2 #tourdefleece2025 results. I finished the 2oz of Polwarth and Andean plied it. I got 64g and 172 yds (pre-wash).

Tour de Fleece Stage 1. 100% polwarth

Your spin looks amazing!

Thank you so much!!!!

Thank you!!!

My most recent #spin finish. This is two braids of Frabjous Fibers - Cathedral and Black Vine. I spun each one individually on bobbins and then two plied them.

Thank you!!!!

I finally finished my #sockmadness round 3 socks. I didn’t not finish fast enough to advance to the next round. Love these socks! The arches shape made the heel shape so interesting- see the photo without a blocker #knitting #socks

Continental (picker). I was a crocheter first so holding the yarn in my left hand just feels normal to me. I’ve started to learn color work by holding the yarn in both hands.

Oh that’s a skill I would love to acquire! I have aspirations to do an entrelac project to try to practice. Congrats to you!

On the sole of the foot…. So much purling!

Plied my hello yarn fiber! I got 372 yards in 118 grams. I did a traditional 3 ply but chain plied the left overs. #spinning #spunyarn

Nothing prettier than a bobbin of fiber! #spinning @helloyarn.bsky.social hello yarn stitches and starlight color - Dreaming by Firelight - from 2024 tour de fleece

I’m in Knysna Seahorse

I love your Chattahoochee’s!!!! That variegated looks great! And the solid you paired with it for the sole goes with it so well. Great job!

Oh goodness! I’m glad they turned into socks you will like though.
