WIPs this week. My merino jumper is nearly done. The yarn is Proud as a Peacock by Untangled Yarns. I absolutely adore the colours in it. 🥰 It’s been such a relaxing freehand knit. Hoping to finish it this weekend.

My first superwash knit 5 years ago. I’m allergic to wool, but I liked the colour (Forgotten Banana) so much that I decided to risk it and found that I can use superwash. I know that it has its own issues, but I like it much better than a lot of the acrylics on offer. Info in ALT.

cardigan week. I’m not really a cardigan knitter or wearer, so I don’t have much to choose from for this week. But here’s a wee set that I made for a little person a few months ago. I think the yarn was called Hedgerow. The pattern is my own.

this week is scarves. I rarely knit scarves, but I made this one for a Terry Pratchett fan - my interpretation of The Colour of Magic. I stitched in (badly ☺️) what Google told me is the Latin motto of the Discworld knitters “Shut up, I’m counting.” Yarn: Warlock by Rightside Yarns.

Shawl week for

I love knitting shawls and I particularly love this one. I used the Woolchemist’s STEVE colourway (named after the atmospheric phenomenon) in merino with stellina. Unfortunately, the sparkly bits don’t show up on the photo. Pattern is my own. 🧶

knitter’s choice week. I made this well over 30 years ago (freehand and not a pom-pom maker in sight 😁) when my dad took up cross country skiing and wanted a hat for it. I thought little skiers might be suitable. 😊 He’s no longer with us so it’s come back to me.

Knitting just for summer seems kind of pointless when living in Scotland. Although, I might change my mind with the current temperatures! 😅🫠 Anyway, I’m hoping to finish this tank this week. It’ll go well with summer skirts.☀️ OOAK merino yarns by the Woolchemist & my own pattern.

#showmeyourknits
😊 The first is a summery cabled shawl & the second is a nearly finished green tank top just retrieved from the naughty step - I’d made a mistake in the lace weave and couldn’t find it. 🙃 I’m also sneaking in a new FO - totally pleased with this jumper. 😊🧶

Blankets for

this week. I’ve only ever made one - during Covid when I needed something simple to keep me occupied. It’s just self striping yarn in stocking stitch. It’s huge and it only really comes when it’s really cold or one of us is under the weather. 😊🧶

I finished my WIP from the start of the week, so this is my current one now. It’s going to be a lightweight jumper. The yarn is a 4-ply hand-dye called “Women not Witches” from Untangled Yarns in Galashiels. I think the colours are just glorious. 😊🧶

You want to know why folk might think this? Because the vast majority of the UK's media is wildly dysfunctional and fundamentally shit.

purple week. My purple (and other colours 😁) shawl is finished - I had about 40 cm of yarn to spare in the end. What you can’t see on the photos is that it has sparkly Stellung in it. The colourway is called Steve after the phenomenon similar to the aurora borealis.
