Getting witchier every dayโ€ฆ

The shawl, I mean. Probably me too. Iโ€™m good with it. ๐Ÿ”ฎ

This is a #BelovedGhostShawl modified to use a 24 mini fade. The fade is @thefibrefox.bsky.social Witching Hour countdown from 2024.

Iโ€™m so delighted to be motoring along on this delightfully halloweenish sock!

Iโ€™m always happy to brag on the yarn! But itโ€™s not one yarn, itโ€™s ten!

Itโ€™s a mini kit I made up with Baby Cat Yarns โ€” ten fingering weight mini skeins. Then the fingering weight is held double and marled.

Britโ€™s brought it back to her shop for the Prairie Town release, if youโ€™re interested

Happy October, pals! Itโ€™s officially Prairie Town cowl release day!

Itโ€™s easy knitting, easy wearing, and a fab companion for fall.

Find it at my ravelry or payhipโ€”more details on my website.

Only 2 days until the Prairie Town cowl gets let loose! If youโ€™ve ever thought โ€œhey, I wish I could sling a sunset around my neckโ€ this one might be for you

Pattern and mini kit from Baby Cat Yarn both drop on October 1!

With the release of the Prairie Town cowl coming right up (10/1) you might be asking โ€œbut what if Iโ€™ve got a couple skeins of the same color?? Is it still cool?โ€

Yes, friends. Itโ€™s still very cool. This is the cowl modified for one color, with neck and hem ribbing.

Continuing the #ShowMeYourKnits autumn roundup, hereโ€™s a sneak peek at a new cowl, releasing October 1.

Meet the Prairie Town cowl! Inspired by that kind of sunset you only ever get over a dry cornfield.

This weekโ€™s #ShowMeYourKnits prompt is autumn, and my favorite autumnal knits have to be these babies - my Hythe cowl and hat! Tree trunks brioche motif, autumnal colors and reversibility? An essential bit of my fall wardrobe.

Eeee, itโ€™s finished and the Minnesota return to summer has given me a chance to wear it out into the world!

Iโ€™ve been noodling on this lacy tee design for years now, i canโ€™t quite believe it finally worked!

Scarf week for #ShowMeYourKnits and thereโ€™s a clear choice. This is a scarf (not yet released, but still potentially coming) that I made with the cool half of the Baby Cat Yarn grunge palette.

The Beloved Ghost shawl, a winged pi shawl worked in single color brioche. It fades from a deep slate gray through a variegated gray and speckled cream. These yarns are from the Snug and Spun fiber companyโ€™s Tortured Poets Department collection

A Beloved Ghost shawl in progress. This one is using an advent calendar from The Fibre Fox, that goes from the softest pale pink through deeper pinks, violet and blue all the way to black (Iโ€™m not there yet though) The pattern is easily modified for use with countdown calendars, scraps, etc

The shawl celebration continues! My fade-iest fades! Both the Bloomfield and Beloved Ghost shawls are built for painterly fades, and I always feel so fancy.

Itโ€™s shawl week for #ShowMeYourKnits and since I canโ€™t pick a favorite, Iโ€™ll just share them out across the week!

Montrose was the second shawl I designed, but the first I reach for on a cold day. Maximum stripes and maximum squish.

Happy Birthday, #ShowMeYourKnits! Since this week is knitterโ€™s choice and, since Iโ€™m on vacation at this very spot, Iโ€™ll share my first design, the Bloomfield Shawl, snapped on the shores of the very best lake (itโ€™s Superior).
