The beginnings of a topdown raglan colourwork sweater. Light grey background with dark grey and rust colourwork.

Grey is my favourite neutrals (well after chartreuse 😂) and is this week's #showmeyourknits prompt. I adapted one of Kate Davies latest patterns to top down. Love her colourwork motif. The background is actually light grey 🧶 . #knitting #knitsky

Wearing my newly finished sweater while working on another new sweater with my fur baby cuddled up next to me. So grateful for these moments. #knitting #knitsky #bordercolliemix #dogsofbluesky

The back of a woman wearing a shawl ma up of flame-like garter stitch patterns in rust, gold and grey.

A closer look at the shawl with garter stitch flame-like fabric. Yarn is from Kat's Riverside Studio, Copper and Zinc.

I don't knit much garter stitch but www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... made it very interesting! You roll dice (or use a random dice roller online) to determine what size "eye" to do next. Great for yarns with large colour blocks. #showmeyourknits #knitting #knitsky 🧶 @indigodragonfly.bsky.social

A woman wearing a colourwork sweater with traditional motifs but in a colour lock fashion. Charcoal grey, red, blue, and light grey.

Finally finished www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... only took 4 years 🤪 I had to figure out how to use up my discontinued skeins of Peerie 🧶 so did my own thing on the sleeves. Perfect sweater with jeans! #knitting #knitsky #knittersofbluesky #strandedknitting

A border collie asleep next to his human who is knitting on a colourwork sleeve of dark charcoal, light grey, red, and blue.

Almost finished my sleeve with my best bud sleeping next to me (after a 1 hour walk in -24 and another this aft in -18, he’s a cold weather dog!) #knitting #knitsky #dogsky #dogsofbluesky #bordercollies

The body of a top down pullover with traditional motifs but in crisp solid colours of dark charcoal, light blue, grey, and red.

Working on finishing old WIPs. I started www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... in 2022 with discontinued Brooklyn Tweed Peerie and some Quince and Co. Finch from my stash. Thought I'd try a less traditional look and I'm really liking it. The yarn feels divine. #showmeyourknits 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

Thank you! I'm very happy with it.

It is! The stitches look a bit messy when knitting but once it's blocked, it's gorgeous.

Finished my www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... from @katedaviesdesigns.com in beautiful 100% Wensleydale yarn. Perfect for this snowy day! 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

Haha, thanks. With a new puppy my numbers will be slowing down considerably!

Out of the 649 projects I have on Ravelry only 5 are white-ish 😂 Pantone colour for 2026 doesn't do it for me. I do however love www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... which I had started 11 years ago! Maybe it took so long because it was white 🥱 🧶 #knitting #showmeyourknits #knitsky

Beautiful! I have that pattern, just can't decide on the yarn.

After a chilly morning walk, pup is sleeping and I’m knitting on my www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib..., drinking tea, and watching Fruity Knitting. Perfection. 🧶 #knitsky #knitting

Thank you! Wearing it this weekend to a little knitting retreat we organize every year.

And I plan to! 😂

This was a WIP for 7 years until I recently finished it. The original pattern is a very oversized pullover but I will wear it more as a sleeveless tunic. Only took me 7 years to figure that out 🤪 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... by @katedaviesdesigns.com #showmeyourknits #knitsky 🧶

Thank you! So glad I joined up!

This WIP is for me. I joined the @katedaviesdesigns.com Knitting Wester Ross club and this is the first pattern www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... I am using ancient stash of 100% Wensleydale 🧶 It is a very festive cardigan in red ❤️ #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting #colourworkknitting

My grandkids are getting too old for such things but I had so much fun making these when they were younger. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting 🧶

Great day for a bike ride along the river. #landscapes #rivers #bikepaths

It's a super light squishy yarn. I still have some more in my stash, so glad I do!
