Yay, finally a good amount of snow! By far the latest snow since we moved to Colorado.

A knit swatch sitting in a windowsill next to its yarn. It is a tonal medium purple, stockinette at the top with a lace pattern at the bottom, surrounded by a garter border.

#wipwednesday Here’s the swatch I did for a new test knit from @woolandpine.bsky.social using House of à la Mode DK. Still need to finish a gift knit but it’s hard with this new project on my needles 😆 #knitting #knitsky

Hopefully there will be enough contrast!

Oops forgot the alt text. The first 2/3 of a colorwork mitt using dark grey and a medium purple. The cuff uses corrugated ribbing and then transitions into a curlicue motif.

It’s Xmas gift season, so I’m working on some Aeshna mitts for my 19yo. Last time I made these with neon pink for my niece, so I’m enjoying the more muted colors in this one.

Finished my Bookshelf Socks using a sock set from Hue Loco! They’re like a cross between socks and leg warmers with their length. 🩷 Looking forward to wearing these soon with leggings. #knitsky #knitting

An array of mini skeins in muted colors, from purples to greens to peaches.

Getting ready to cast on some Xmas gifts. These Hue Loco minis will become a striped hat for my 16yo. #knitsky

Release day for the Hearthside Cardigan by @woolandpine.bsky.social which I got to test knit! #knitsky 🧶

I am! New and shiny all the time. Big projects I get bored of easily and put them down, so when I come back to them in a couple years, they seem new again 😂 I have a few of those that will make appearances soon.

In-progress socks with a pink cuff and a long leg in a textural pattern knit with white yarn that has pink and purple speckles. One leg is completely knit and waiting to work the heel, while the other sock is only a few inches in.

WIP Wednesday, I’m working on a new pair of socks with a much longer leg than I usually knit. I’m liking it! #knitting #knitsky Yarn by Hue Loco

On the plus side, I think I have enough leftover yarn that I can make it again!

Oh, so sad!! 😢

Oh I had already finished it, just hadn’t taken a photo yet. So hopefully it’s keeping somebody’s head warm out there 😊

A mostly finished hat with a double-thick brim and a simple texture pattern in a deep purple color.

#showmeyourknits Spooky season knitting horror stories! I made up this pattern and loved this hat. Such a great color! And I lost it before I even got a picture of it finished. 😭 #knitsky

I’ve never had a problem with any of her yarns bleeding.

Thank you, Kristin!

Glad to be of help! 😂😭 my project is still in time out because it made me mad, but maybe I’ll get back to it soon.

I know 😭 lesson learned!

Finished these awhile ago but finally wove in the ends and blocked them. These are the Botanic Socks by West Knits from his Year of Socks 2025. I knit them using Footsie by @voolenvine.bsky.social

Is there a pattern for those skull mitts? I want to make some 🩷

A partially knit cowl made of fuzzy grey yarn and color changing pink & purple yarn, sitting on a windowsill next to a plant with white leaves.

I’m working on my ooey gooey cowl but having a problem. I wound up my two skeins of suri together to make it easier, but the two strands aren’t pulling out of the cake at the same rate. So I think I’m going to have to pause and figure out a way to separate them into 2 balls. #knitsky #knitting

Went on my birthday hike today to see the fall colors. ♥️

A multi-color fabric including garter stitch and brioche that slowly fades from color to color.

I’m loving so much how this fabric is knitting up, so squishy and cozy!

Brioche LOOKS intimidating, but it really isn’t that bad. The relaxing rhythm of it has made it my favorite kind of knitting.

#knitting #knitsky it’s been awhile since I’ve used this app 😆

These colors are everything 👌🏻
