Love all the suggestions! Did someone suggest animal knits at some point too? Of an animal as well as for an animal?

#25 Winged Triangle Shawl pattern by Tania Richter 3 hanks of Lorna’s Laces Sportmate in #65ns putty (MC)

I don’t have any shawls to show off for this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits but if I ever make one, it’ll be this one (I have had the pattern for ages!). Apologies to anyone who has accessibility issues with Ravelry.

It’s part of the pattern, I can’t take any credit for it! 😊

Isn’t this fantastic? I am in awe of this amazing jumper!

Thank you! All credit to the pattern here (from Sirdar), there is a lot more knitting and purling through the back loop than usual!

Thank you! I’m pleased with how it’s going, it’s been a while since I dug out the cable needles

#wipwednesday I’ve been neglecting my knitting (too busy with sewing hexagons!) but the baby hoodie has at least grown a bit since last week 🧢

Thank you! It was lovely wool - Louisa Harding Amitola - that I picked up at a bargain price at a craft show

Happy Birthday #ShowMeYourKnits ! For knitter’s choice, here’s a jumper, which I don’t think I’ve shown here before (and no longer exists, due to moth damage and me using the wool for a totally different jumper!). Great pattern, lovely wool, very impractical under a coat! 🧢

I keep saying this too (and then not doing it, of course). This is beautiful

Agreed! My post today might be a few of the things I would like to get around to knitting eventually!

Thank you, it was a very cute drawing (as was your son’s! ). I love the colours you used in your knit!

Congratulations on a year of #ShowMeYourKnits - I have absolutely loved seeing everyone’s makes, I’ve got to follow some great people and find some amazing patterns because of it. Massive thank you for keeping us challenged for the past year xx

This is fantastic! The closest I have ever got to this is a friend asking me if I could turn a drawing of his daughter’s childhood plush into a jumper for her 16th birthday

Two gigs in the past week - North Sea Radio Orchestra in Saint Matthias church (calm, reverential) and Os Mutantes at the Jazz Cafe (very metal, exuberant) - both fantastic

Thank you! I’ve been enjoying not following a big pattern and just playing around (as you can probably tell!)

That’s scrappy tapestry number 4 of the year done! I still have a very stuffed tote bag of wool, but it’s definitely reducing. Must admit, I like the red and orange ones the best! #embroidery #tapestry
