I bought the wool for this sweater on a trip to Iceland in 2017 and finished fall of 2023. Sometimes knitting takes a long time to start and to finish. #slowfashion #knitsky #knitsweater

Quick knits - Cat cowl a.k.a. meowl #knitsky #catsofbluesky

On November 15th, I will have my first ever booth at a craft fair! Colorado friends, join me at the jingle Bell Market at the Broomfield Community Center! I will have ornaments, hats, wall art, and bags. It has been fun prepping the booth itself as an art project. #knitsky #knitting #craftfair

For #showmeyourknits cable week, do faux cables count? I loved making this brioche sweater. It's so plushy and soft (thanks malabrigio)! #knitsky #knitbrioche

#showmeyourknits cable lace edition. I made these gloves 10+ years ago (before I knew about stretchy bind-offs) #knitsky #knitlace #knitcables

Pictures from the Amano Pre-Columbian Textile Museum in Lima It was amazing walking from room to room and seeing the different techniques learn and build off of each other in the longest continuous textile history. My favorite might be this plumage poncho! #peru #textile #fiberart

Manos de Mama Julia! This little shop combined weaving, knitting, and crocheting into unique garments that they'd adapt to your size there. It was refreshing after seeing so many of the same souvenirs at lots of vendors. And it shares my namesake! Worth a visit if in Cusco. #peru #cusco #fiberart

#showmeyourknits cable week! I wear this cable knit hat all the time because I just love how it matches the fall aspens here in Colorado. #knitsky #knitcables

Two beautiful fiber art exhibits from Cusco: 1. Museo Maximo Laura had some beautiful woven tapestries that I wanted to dive inside of 2. Davis Torres at Xapiri Grounds drawing animals morphing into their traditional weaving pattern and preserving their story #fiberart #peru #weaving

The alpacas at Machu Picchu were a welcome site after a long but beautiful 4 days of hiking the Inca trail. A little softness in the world. #peru #machupicchu

Happy Halloween! #knitsky #knitpumpkin

Made this pillow for my #scorpio sister. The hardest part was fudging the color changes on the black side of the pillow so that the bands matched the front. #scorpioseason #knit #knitpillow #colorwork #knitsky

Our 2nd day in Peru we took a natural dyeing and weaving course. We dyed baby alpaca yarn with leaves, fungus, and beetles. We learned so much! Weaving this bracelet definitely helps me appreciate all the work and skill that goes into all the Peruvian textiles. #textile #fiber #alpaca #peru

I am filled with love, support, community, and joy from our wedding day! So much planning and now she's my wife! ✨ And yes - of course we hired a sheep to come to our reception. Thank you Beethoven and the Farm at Sparrow Hill! #weddingday #lgbt #lgbtweddings #knitsky #lovewins #sheep

Showing off my knit shawl some more! We had so much fun staying in the "Gnome Home" at WeeCasa for our wedding #knitsky #lace #hobbits #lotr #diybride #tinyhome

Advice for future brides who knit: pick out your wedding dress before a shawl pattern. I made this last summer, then chose a lace dress. The fabrics competed too much, but I proudly wore the shawl for our welcome party! www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #bride #knitsky #lace #shawl #diybride

Sea turtle hatching season is here! So I made this sea turtle dishcloth. #knitsky

While knitting: This is so relaxing, I could definitely see me customizing the pattern to make Bernese or other dog breeds. While sewing and stuffing: Am I incapable of making a softie that isn't 100% derp? Pattern: [Beagle Puppy by Claire Garland](www.ravelry.com/patt...) #knitsky #dogsofbluesky

Finally quilting this bad boy. It's so heavy! I already regret choosing a contrasting thread color, but it will be perfectly imperfect. #quilting #fiberart #batik #batikfabric

I picked up this felting tapestry kit at Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool festival a few years back. It was really fun and peaceful to work on it... until I would slip up and stab myself in the finger. The kit was from thefeltingstudio.com if you want to try one #needlefelt #felt #wool #sheepand wool

Wearing a shawl that my great great grandmother knit! It's so special to hold onto handmade family heirlooms. I hope she's happy that I knit and therefore can appreciate the effort that went into her beautiful work. #knitting #knitsky

It almost makes you wonder why we bother felting cat cocoons at all #catcocoon #knitsky #knitting #kitting #felt

Wall of Wool puzzle 10/10 It's been a nice rainy week here in Colorado, perfect weather for knitting and puzzling. #knitsky #wool #jigsaw #puzzle

My partner and I recently took a collage class at Re-Creative in Denver. I enjoyed channeling my love for all things cozy: knitting, tea, and journaling into this little creation. If you haven't read Cozy by Isabel Gillies I strongly recommend it. Even holding it feels #cozy #collage #crafting

Go I will. Good relations with the Wookiees I have. This chewbacca sock pattern is out of "Knitting the Galaxy." I enjoy theming my projects, so I used a little millenium falcon stitch marker. #maythe4th #starwars #wookie #chewie #chewbacca #knitting #knitsky

Web design is my other passion. I enjoyed turning my darningneedleknits.com gallery into hexagons. It kind of fits the insect theme. #webdesign #honeycomb

When do you switch to longer circulars? I just switched from 60cm to 60" and love seeing the pattern bloom! 🌸 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #showmeyourknits #wip #knitting #knitsky

Meet Nadine. My partner read the description on this squishmallow and thought, "Hey that's Julia!" #knitting #knitsky #catbed #squishmallow

#showmeyourknits Local Yarn Store edition. I always love doing the Yarn Along the Rockies Yarn Crawl every year! Such a great way to get out and support. This was my haul from last year. I'm proud to say that all but two of these skeins have been used in a project. #lys #yarnstash #wool

"Just one more stripe and then I'll stop" makes striped projects so much faster to knit up. These "Gubb-step" #twiddle socks were knit for my sister. #showmeyourknits #knitting #knitsy #knitsocks

These shorts have been a headache to knit. I didn't trust the pattern and thought I corrected it, only to realize I was not smarter than the pattern after all. Now I have to decide to frog it, or somehow adapt it. #knitting #wip #frogit #knitsky

These mittens were my first lace project (10 years ago!) I've learned so much since then: stretchier bind-offs/cast-ons and not to use such fuzzy wool if you want a really clear stitch definition. Verdigris by Rosemary (Romi) Hill www.ravelry.com/projects/Dar... #knitlace #knitsky #knitting

This baby tomato hat was a quick knit! #tomato #babyhat #knit #knitsky
