I challenged myself to stash down this year, but the part that no one talks about is the lack of motivation to knit with the yarn you’ve got. It’s like talking to an ex after a breakup. I don’t want to be associated with you, even if you are 100% cashmere 🧶

Last month I did my first test knit, The Cluaran Sock pattern by Grey Owl Knits. They fit really nicely and I think this is my new favorite heel type. 🧶🧦💜🌿 #testknit #knitsocks #knitsky

After 1.5 years, 3 froggings & much learning I've finally finished knitting @noah-the-bard.bsky.social's sweater! I ended up using the Storm Sweater pattern by Petite Knit with changes due to using a heavy worsted, and an added gusset in the armpit I used Heritage by Briggs & Little 🧶 #knitsky

Finished & Photographed! (Still needs blocking though... Once my other Christmas gift hats are knit up I'll block them all together) 📜: Alpine Bloom by Caitlin Hunter 🧶: Lana's Light, @berrocoyarn.bsky.social 📸: @noah-the-bard.bsky.social #knitsky

Planning out my ugly Christmas sweater (cardigan?) for the office party... I'm thinking crochet gingerbread man squares will be fun and I can repurpose them into a Christmas blanket after. 🧶🎄

My new favorite hat :) Knit the Classic Ribbed Hat by @purlsoho.bsky.social with some dk weight wool yarn that my mother-in-law picked up for me in Japan. 💜 📸 @noah-the-bard.bsky.social #knitsky

Beep gets very excited for new yarn 🐥💗🧶

I finally did it! Here's my video of how I made my wedding dress and how you can too. Only took me 3 years lol #sewing #madeitmyself #wedding youtu.be/nQpUdo5gFEE?...

Wound up 8 skeins of yarn last night, am feeling accomplished & productive! 🧶

New lunchtime knit, same pattern. 🧶 Finished the last one so quickly and it was so fun, so this one's going to be a Christmas gift knit! Pattern: Alpine Bloom by Caitlin Hunter Yarn: Lana's Light from @berrocoyarn.bsky.social + mystery blue from my stash.

Went to Knit City Vancouver and bought a restrained amount of yarn 🧶

A mood board for the fall 🍂 Instead of big goals for the fall I've been focusing on letting go of projects that I'm unhappy with, finishing ones I've had on the back burner, and making lots of soup 🌻

A mathematical mess... This spring I self drafted a sweater without having knit anything like it before, + while playing yarn chicken. 🧶🐔 I will be frogging this monstrosity and giving the motif a second chance after I learn some more about these types of sweaters. #knitsky

An update on my lunch break knitting project, the Alpine Bloom Hat by Caitlin Hunter. Tried it on and it fits snugly so I'm now working on the ribbing. I'm doing a two toned fisherman's rib for some extra squish. 🌼🌿🧶 #knitsky

Did some yarn dying this weekend, some little orange bits for my mom who's knitting tiny pumpkins, and trying to color match some bits for an upcoming sweater project. 🧶 I used marigolds from my garden for the yellow and madder root power for the red. 🌼

Very happy to share my first new pattern release for this fall with you today, the beautiful Mathilda Shawl.♥️🍇 Please enjoy a 20% discount on this new pattern with coupon code MATHILDA until Sunday, Sept. 14, 2025. Happy knitting!😊🧶 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

My current pile of knitting and crochet projects to frog, some need partial frogs and some just need to go and become yarn again. 🧶

The daily drama of the top bunk. I did a huge cat-related sketchbook post on my patreon, today! If you like my dumb cat drawings and supporting an artist, you should join! www.patreon.com/lucyknisley

Finished my Tulip Farm Cardigan! 🌷🌷🌷 (-ish, still gotta add buttons) This was my first time knitting such a large color work pattern and my first time steeking. The pattern was well written and easy to follow. 😊 Pattern by Harvey Road Knits 🧶 Lanas Light by Berroco #knitsky #colorwork #knitting

Steeking time! (I'm terrified 😓) 🧶🌷🪡✂️ #knitsky

I've been knitting a tulip cardigan for the past couple of months and I'm almost done! I'm so excited to share the finished cardigan this weekend!? (Hopefully) Pattern is Tulip Farm by Harvey Road Knits 🌷 🧶#knitsky

Pre-darned (ing? - it's a work in progress) my newest pair of knit socks so my big toe doesn't bust through my hard work 🧶🪡 #knitsky #knitsocks

Been quiet online lately, all the summer shenanigans have my autistic brain a little overwhelmed. Here's a pic of my little wild garden, it's a mix of local wildflowers, herbs like dill and parsley, and some other things like a single sunflower and some blueberry plants.

Wearing my Tiptoe through the Tulips socks, knitting pattern by Stone Knits. 🌷🧦 Yarn is Amble sock yarn from The Fibre Co. 🧶 Been wearing these for a few weeks now and they're holding up well! I'll need to reinforce the toes eventually though. Thanks @noah-the-bard.bsky.social for the foot pic 😆

This is your sign to cast on extra stitches for your swatches and turn them into scrunchies when you're done 💜🌷🧶 #knitsky #guageswatch

4 photos I took recently that I like.

Blocking my Tiptoe Through the Tulips socks by Stone Knits. 🧶🧦 Big thank you to @noah-the-bard.bsky.social for 3D printing me the sock blocking forms. ❤️ #knitsky #tulipsocks

Feeling pretty proud of the heel on my next pair of knit socks. 🧦 🧶

Testing a modification to the herding hens socks by Stone Knits to make stardew valley chickens! I essentially made the chickens more round and have picked up sock yarn in the right colors (beige, brown, black, blue, red and purple!) 🧶🧦🐔🐓 #knitsky #colorwork #stardewvalley

More sock progress! Why does color work feel so much faster than single color knitting? It really shouldn't. 🧶🧦🌷 #knitsky

The Tiptoe through the Tulip socks are happening! 🧶 #knitsky

Knit a funny lopsided pair of practice socks before I take on the Tiptoe Through the Tulips socks by Charlotte Stone. I followed the pattern minus the leg and color work, messed up a bunch on the first stock and fixed it on the second! 🧶 #knitsky

I didn't realize Indigo/Chapters sold AI slop books. 🤮 Was looking for a crochet book on the indigo website and came across these atrocities. Should be noted that some of them are also clearly violating Disney copyrights. 🧶 #buyerbeware #knitsky #crochet

Sometimes inspiring children is scary. I'm starting my second attempt at dying yarn with nettles by harvesting some from a local public walkway. I was approached by a small gaggle of curious children and their parents+ grandmother...

Why are there *always* hazards!? -asks husband who's found the second pair of sewing scissors in the bed that week, on-top of the many runaway knitting needles. 🧶 #knitsky

Save $$ on a streaming service and support your local library.

Processing some yarn for dying and idk what to make of this... It's some natural colored Briggs and little yarn that was given to me. As I wash it the water is so dirty? It also smells like sheep lol. (Pictured: wash #3 of what's in the sink, next is a dry unwashed skein for comparison)

I am very pleased with the frogs. 🐸🧶 #knitsky

Let the frogging commence. 🧶🐸 (This is the third partial frogging on this project. This time the bumble bees don't pop as much as I was hoping and feel detached from the color work above it) #knitsky #frogging

Do not fear the frogging, let the frogging fear you 🐸🧶 #knitsky

I spent all that time measuring and planning my next knit cardigan just to start it, take it out twice, and then completely wing it. 🧶🤦🏼‍♀️

Used my lunch break to plan out my next cardigan. I really like how much problem solving is involved in self drafting a knitting pattern. Makes my brain happy. 🧶 #knitsky

My first attempt at color work!! Knit up 2 swatches yesterday: 1st is color work practice for a cardigan I'd like to make. 2nd is lace practice for another cardigan. It's in angora and it's sooooo soft. 🧶🐇

Went to Fibres West today and it was so wonderful and overwhelming to see everyone's beautiful knits. My autistic brain was calculating the amount of effort and care that went into each sweater, and with so many I just about had a panic attack/shutdown because it was too much to take in. 💕🧶

Final yarn stash calculation is 30km of yarn - and I'm still planning on going to Fibres West this weekend 😅 the bulk of it is DK and lighter (20km) and 1 sweater typically takes me 1400m in DK or 2800m in doubled up fingering. So when I crunch the numbers it'll make about 8.5 sweaters. 🧶

Love my sweater no.28 so much I'm making a second sleeveless version with my leftover yarn.

Decided to enter my yarn stash into a spreadsheet, so far I have a grand total of 15km of yarn and I still have a whole tote I haven't touched yet. 🧶 #knitting #yarnstash

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
