Isn’t it?! Wish I could remember the name of it. 🫣

I just love this shop/wool!!

#Soctober week for #showmeyourknits ! I’ve already shared a bunch of sock knits on here but I don’t think I’ve shared these yet. Defo spooky-season vibe. Yarn is Three Irish Girls sock.

For #showmeyourknits care week, I make socks for my mom & dad each year for Christmas. Brings me so much joy to see how much they appreciate the gifts even though they’ve come to expect them. Here are some pairs from past years & a WIP for this year. 🧶🧦❤️

These are fantastic! What amazing gifts. I may need to find the alpaca sweater pattern. And maybe sweet kitty pillow too! 😍

Awww…thanks! 😊

Thank you! 😊

Thanks! ☺️

Yeah! 🍂 I’m so ready for autumn weather!

A hand knit piece of multi-colored fabric lies across a wooden table. Yarn colors include greens, orange, reds, pinks, and white. A mug with an image of a smiling dog face is in the background of the picture.

Currently working on a Shift Cowl (Andrea Mowry) using Zauberball Crazy, Farmers Daughter Fibers Soka’pii, and the Angora Moose fingering weight. I think it’s giving some good autumn vibes for this week’s #showmeyourknits

Plump and springy sounds very nice.😊

I admire your embrace of the high % cotton yarn! I’m totally afraid of it. 😆 and I think your knit is gorgeous despite the struggle…journey. This one is on my wish list!

I can definitely see why it’s so popular and why people choose to make more than one! It’s a lovely pattern. And thanks! I’m really pleased with how it’s turning out. ☺️

A hand knit sweater in progress sits a a wooden table next to a bowl of candy corn. The sweater is being knit in pale pink yarn and features a lace patterned yoke.

My #showmeyourknits from last week (sweaters) also works for this week’s “on my needles.” I’m finally making a #lovenotesweater and totally in love with the pattern and the super squishy soft wool + mohair. And the color, 👩‍🍳💋

A hand knit frog stuffed toy in mint-green yarn. Frog has big toes, thin legs, a bulbous belly, and a big grin.

Not many baby knits in my repertoire, but hers a super cute frog I made a looong time ago for a coworker’s baby. It’s Cascade cotton and I can’t find the pattern. 🫣

Stripes on socks! A couple with self-striping yarn and a couple with scraps. Feet are the perfect location for rings of color, right?

I keep forgetting that the only way I feel good about myself is if I feel good about my writing and the only way I feel good about my writing is if I'm doing it all the time

Thanks! It’s so easy to pick up and put down and I love watching the colors unfold. Hopefully, I’ll get it finished by chilly season. ☺️

A hand knit oversized scarf work in progress sits on a wooden table next to a white project bag, a small green ball of yarn, a larger cream colored ball of yarn, and a mug of tea. The scarf is multicolored stripes in pinks, reds, and greens.

I have the perfect ongoing project for this week’s #showmeyourknits ! The Scrap Wrap knit with leftover sock yarn and minis. I love the oversized rectangular shape and the squishiness of the fabric.

So mischievous and so sweet.

Tweed bits falling out isn’t ideal for your tweed project, I suppose. 🙃 I didn’t have that issue with what I used but it is quite raw/rough wool.

I think it’s Kelbourne Woolens. But I couldn’t find the label. I am enamored by tweeds at the moment though so I’ll have to check out Plymouth. Do you like it?

A small black dog with a white chin and snout looks sideways at the camera. The dog is wearing a green knit shawl like a scarf tied loosely around her neck.

I’ve made quite a few big, intricate shawls & I never wear them. So, lately I’ve been into smaller shawlettes which feel more accessible. This one is the Embark Shawlette knit quickly in an Aran tweed & modeled by Pips.

My first #lovenotesweater on the needles. Finding it hard to put it down. Enjoyed a quiet morning with knitting and tea.

Picture of a truck with Ben’s quote displayed on the side, which says: One of the most successful deceptions of our time was getting so many Americans to fear diversity more than racism, equality more than misogyny, democracy more than fascism, immigrants more than authoritarians, the poor more than corrupt billionaires, and empathy more than cruelty.
