It was a mammoth knit (with a nearly nine foot wingspan) but my Fibre Fox 2024 Witching Hour advent calendar shawl is done!

Itโ€™s my Beloved Ghost shawl pattern with the countdown calendar mods (included) and Iโ€™ll just be swooshing around everywhere.

I donโ€™t design sock patterns, but these will fit on a generic multiples of 8 sock of your choosing.

This weekโ€™s prompt for #ShowMeYourKnits is pinks and reds, so hereโ€™s a little collage of my favorites. Details in the alt text.

Hope youโ€™re all in the pink this Valentineโ€™s Day, pals. ๐Ÿฉท

Garter stitch is the prompt for this weekโ€™s #ShowMeYourKnits and I am happy to oblige.

I love garter stitch! Itโ€™s so squashy and makes a perfect neighbor to both brioche (in my Montrose patterns) and lace (in the Hazel park shawl).

Well, I can tell you at least half of everything ๐Ÿ˜‚

The green wool is Spincycle Nocturne in Art of Darkness. The pink you can just barely see is Yarn Jamโ€™s nsw sport in shell.

The pattern is still getting made up but Iโ€™m hoping to release it this spring!

I have way too many WIPs for #ShowMeYourKnits WIP week, but this weekendโ€™s projects are really showing a clear color story.

January needs light and warmth, and this trio are it! A pair of Colorwork socks from Summer Lee, and a pullover and little shawl on the design board!

Since #ShowMeYourKnits this week is all about the holidays, Iโ€™ve got to share my lil Christmas Tree, the #HazelParkShawl. This one is for when you need to be festooned with fancy.

Itโ€™s so fun breaking into a new countdown calendar! These are the first three colors from my @thecornerofcraft.bsky.social advent calendar this year.

I think Iโ€™m going to like playing with these triangles.

Itโ€™s super fitting that #ShowMeYourKnits this week is advent/mini/gradient themed because I just finished this #HollyAvenueShawl using the 2024 Muppet Christmas Carol advent calendar from @thecornerofcraft.bsky.social

Light the lamp, not the rat, pals.

My most recent WIP is my second run at the Montrose Pullover (also a work in progress)

Iโ€™m using yarn and fiber from the @longdogyarn.com โ€œOver the Garden Wallโ€ Collection and I could NOT be more pleased.

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 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.
