A pair of socks knit up in a gorgeous blue teal color that fades from dark at the toes to light at the cuffs.

I've always wanted to knit an item then dip dye it but I held back because who wants to knit an entire piece using undyed yarn. So when I bought a 🧦 knitting machine, I knew I would finally be able to try this idea that had been brewing in my head for years. The results are exactly what I imagined!

I have been feeling like a good crochet project lately and I dove right into this linen stitch chevron blanket. I pulled all my blue partial skeins plus a variety of colors that look good with them and I'm randomly rotating them throughout this blanket.

A finished Musselburgh Hat, photographed on a wood table. The one end of the hat is a solid gray and the rest is self-striping yarn . The color sequence of the self-striping yarn is gray, grayish white, beige/brown, beigeish white. Four views of how to wear the hat - the gray cap with a turned up brim of stripes, a striped cap with a turned up brim of stripes, and both versions with no turned up brim - making a longer slouchy hat.

20 Days Until Christmas and the cats will have a knit stocking this year!! They've both already slept on it so I take that as their approval. I used Briana Arlene's Cat Hat pattern chart and adjusted to make it a stocking. I think you could do the same idea for a sport weight 🧦

Color Development skeins are true one-of-a-kinds (or two depending). They are skeins that I was testing color combos, striping patterns and how colors play together. They'll still be beautiful self-striping skeins 🧦 but will be unique from everyone else's! Once a color is gone, it's gone. #knitsky

Newest pair of 🧦 are off the needles! I cast these on over a year ago but then got distracted by a LOT of samples. It was wonderful to get back to them. Yarn is dyed by Full Moon Fibres. You don't appreciate this colorway until you knit it and see all the pops of colors.
