Hurray! I've tried it on, and it fits, but it needs blocking. Now, on to the sleeves. #knitting #knitsky

Extra Lite Bright sweater progress. Last colour has been faded in, and I'm on to the hem. #knitting ##knitsky

Lite Bright sweater progress. Eight rounds to go in the bright green, before I start fading in the dark green, which is the final colour. #knitsky

My current WIP is the Extra Lite Bright sweater from Wool And Pine. I'm loving the yarn transitions so far. This is 4 shades of 4ply sock yarn. I have two more to go. #Knitsky #Knitting

#showmeyourknits this week is all things grey. I don't often knit with grey yarn, but here's a couple of sweaters I've knit in the past. #knitsky #knitting

Oooh, stash dive! Stash dive! The Nouveau Cardigan by Lucy Hague was published as part of Glasgow University Knits in 2022, but is now available as an individual pattern. It is 4ply, but I'm willing to try and make a DK version. #Knitsky #Knitting www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

🐑🐑🐑This has gone straight into my queue. The Sheep Sweater by Rosa Pomar. Bottom up and steeked. Fingering weight yarn. Sizes up to 61 inches. #Knitsky #Knitting www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

Another one of my stash busting projects is the Sprig Slipover by Sarah Opie. It only has 18 projects on Ravelry and I don't know why. It looks amazing and it's only garter slip stitch. This is a perfect project for an ambitious beginner. #Knitsky www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

#showmeyourknits is WIPs this week. I'm currently stash busting some of my 4ply yarns. This is going to be a cardigan in plain grey. I've added colour to the sleeves, with some self striping sock yarn.

I know how much my fellow knitters love a bit of true crime to go with their knitting, so if you're looking for a good listen this weekend, I recommend Scotland Yard: A Bloody History by Simon Read. Harry Myers, the narrator, is brilliant! #Knitsky #booksky www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...

Incredibly, I managed to lose my old sock blockers (again). So, I bought some new ones. 😊 ##knitsky #knitting

This pattern is from way back in 2019, but I've never seen it before. Pirate Danger ☠️ socks by Jeannie Cartmel features tiny skull and crossbones motifs. Sock is knit toe up with a gusset and heel flap. I will be stash diving my box of socks yarns later. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #Knitsky

I decided to cast on the Book Club sweater from Sari Nordland today. I tried a couple of different yarns from my stash, and this one looked the best. It's King Cole Fashion Aran in Forest. The sweater is knit top down from the back neck. ##knitsky #knitting

The Non Cooperation Brick is a free pattern by Hannah Roderick, available from Ravelry. Knit in fingering weight yarn to the dimensions of a real world brick, this is for throwing at stuff when the current timeline becomes too much. #Knitting www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

I was just getting into my #knitting stride this morning when one of these put in an appearance 😭

The latest episode of #uncanny is creepy AF, but I have to admit I was a little distracted by @dannyrobins.bsky.social gorgeous knitted jumper in the opening. 😂 Not even the scariest ghost story can come between a knitter and a lovely jumper.

This just popped up on my Facebook feed, and it needed to be shared. A Bananasaurus! #crochet www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1...

It's really difficult to have just one WIP. I may fail at project monogamy. 🧶 #Knitsky #Knitting

#showmeyourknits Stripes! I don't knit a lot of stripes except on hats, but this cardi was an interesting exception. Knitted side-to-side without a pattern, it required some intensive problem-solving. Also it has vertical afterthought side pockets, which I LOVE.

My latest design - the Three Hares Tam, based on a window in Paderborn cathedral. Pattern is on Ravelry if anyone fancies it.🧶 #knitting #dreihasenfenster #threehares #hares #shareyourknits #knittersofbluesky www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

Who else got a proper fright from the evil nun in last night's #uncanny It was a great case to kick off season 2 with, and @dannyrobins.bsky.social in a wind tunnel, proving the convection current theory was a bit of a stretch, made it a tough one for #teamsceptic. 😂

Long Stripes socks are new from Maria Sampo-Janhu and they're making my eyes go crossed, but they're still very cool! They must be super cosy too, as they're knit in a worsted weight yarn. Pattern is available on Ravelry. #Knitting #knitsky 🧶www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

✨Brand New Day✨ on Squishy Sock Base, and this batch turned out *chef’s kiss* beautifully! Those berry hues with bursts of gold and orange? Doesn’t get much better than this! You can find this in the Forever Colourway section of my website, and it’s always available on 10 different yarn bases!

Well, hello there! Mary P Hunt has a new cowl design out. Guardian features an intricate design of intertwined #dragons, inspired by Celtic myth and the motifs of medieval decoration. Pattern is on Ravelry and there is a #crochet version as well. #Knitting #knitsky 🧶 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

It’s almost 40 F today which translates to warm & sunny in WI after the last few weeks. So it has me thinking about summer & our colorway Beach Day! hartfordyarnworksllc.etsy.com #yarndyeing #yarndyer #yarn #fiberarts #knitting #crochet #sockyarn #knitter #handdyedyarn #indiedyer #indiedyedyarn

Asking people to pay a fair price for your labour is now 'gatekeeping hobbies behind a wallet'. WTAF? If you wouldn't walk into a LYS and steal a bunch of hand dyed yarns, because that's theft, don't steal f***ing patterns. #knitsky

Thank you all for your encouragement and support while I made this. The pattern is now on Ravelry. Celtic Hares Sweater. 🧶 #knitting #knittersofbluesky www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

Does anyone know of a good online tutorial (photo or video) for how to catch floats on the purl row when you're knitting fairisle flat? I want to do the Bergen cardigan but some sections of the pattern will require catching several floats and I've not done that knitting flat before. #knitting

I have the last few ends to weave in and the buttons to sew back on, but otherwise, my Crocodile Line cardigan is done! #knitting ##knitbsky 🥳🥳🥳

we're thrilled to share that we've started the year with a new addition to our team! he's extremely smart, capable, charming, persuasive, and boasts a wealth of museum experience

Better photos of Charisma, Witchcraft and Bad Judgement on yarn! Coming to Creekside and online afterwards! #yarn #yarnlove #handdyedyarn

I use a fidget popper as a row counter. It allows me to pre-pop the rows I need to do decreases or increases on. Here's mine, all set up for sleeve decreases. #knitting #knitbsky 🧶

I still have one sleeve to go on my current WIP, but I'm wondering what to cast on next. I'm giving serious thought to the Bergen cardigan by Evelyn Siatra. I'm just struggling to decide what yarn to do it in. #knitting #knitbsky #yarn

Here is the beaded Kaleidocycle (a.k.a. beaded turning machine) I made a couple of months ago. I will be assembling another one live on stream in a week or two if you are curious how they are put together. #beading #beadwork #3Dbeading

The project I am most proud of to date: a non-mirrored double knit scarf of the first 8 bars of Barber's Excursions. Treble part on one side and the bass part on the other. #knitting

Ok so how do I get the girl gamers, book lovers, knitters and crocheters to find me on here?? 😬🫶🏼

Late to #WIPWednesday because I've been in the office, but here's my Crocodile Line cardigan with half a sleeve. I have now reached that knitting out of sheer spite stage of this project. Can't wait to get it off the needles. ##knitbsky #knitting 🧶

Billy the Kid is New Mexico’s most notorious outlaw and visiting the Lincoln Co. courthouse where he famously escaped was one of my favorite road trips as a kid. Our Billy the Kid colorway features a sepia tan background with swirls of lichen green and slate grey. 🧶 #indiedyedyarn
