Short row heel done! I’m pretty sure I didn’t execute this bit quite as correctly as it could have been but I am still rather pleased at the result. Maybe on the second sock I will look at how to do a M1Lp 😆 🧶 @stoneknits.bsky.social #sunflowersocks #knitsky #handknitsocks

My Sunflower socks by @stoneknits are coming along. One more repeat of the flower motif and onto the heel which is a new style for me. 🧶 #stoneknits #knittedsocks #knitsky #craftsky #handknitsocks #sunflower #fibersky

Progress on the #colourwork socks 🧶 #knitsky #handknittedsocks #knittedsocks #fibersky #craftsky #knittedsocks This is fun! 💙🧡💙🧡

Wish me luck with my first ever colourwork sock! Sunflower Power socks by @stoneknits.bsky.social Yarn hand dyed by my gorgeous friend Sarah using botanicals and acquired by me when she did a massive destash. 🧶 #sockknitting #socksky #knitsky #fibresky #craftsky #handknitting

Have I mentioned how much I love a twisted rib ❤️🧶 First part of my Outline Tee is popping of the needles! Making this one with Fiori Sock in Tangerine Dream 🧡 #knit #knitsky #fibresky #knitwear #handknitted #craftsky

Frogged one, finished on and cast on a new one. I decided the pattern that shan’t be named need to not be made by me. So 🐸🐸🐸🐸 The yarn is now becoming something I am actually enjoying making. Finished my shorty sox! Yay me! 🎉 It’s been a semi productive weekend.

Spent some time at my LYS with a bunch of my favourite people yesterday. Although we all agree that it’s knit in public day everyday. 🧶 #knitinpublicday #rideordie

So I dropped my mail in the yard the other day without realising I’d done so. Our 2 yo puppy decided that the squishy package was meant for her. This is the result 😩😣🧶

No knitting 🧶 today. Spent the day with my brother scooting around the paddocks, chatting with the neighbours and rounding up some cows and their babies for booster shots.

This morning after preparing my sourdough dough I fed my starter and this afternoon she was ready to go again so I’ve prepared another dough, both will be baked early tomorrow morning. Yum yum. My lovely yeasty friend and Monday’s fresh out of the oven sourdough. #sourdoughbread 🍞

I still dislike the way this pattern is written but am making progress and making mistakes. Mistakes I cannot be arsed fixing - no one’s gonna know, right? Anyway, I picked up stitches on the front left to make the back left. Did M1L instead of M1R! F**k me. Not ripping out. #knit 🧶

Finished sock. I’ll hopefully cast on its mate tomorrow. For now I rest and admire these beautiful flowers emerging. 🧶 #knitsky #handmadesocks #knittedsocks #handknitting #craftsky #fibersky #handmade

I’m up to the gusset on my sock with the folded cuff. The heel flap has an extra strand of yarn to give a bit more padding for my boney heals as well as making them more durable. 🧶 #knitting #knit #knitsky #fibrecraft #craftsky #knittedsocks #handknitsocks

I’m not sure what I was thinking but I cast on a new thing… it’s a sock in fingering weight. Then I decided I wanted a folded cuff. I’ve never done a folded cuff before so I’m making it up. 64 stitch markers later I’m half way through… #knitsky #knit #fibercraft #knittedsocks #foldedcuff 🧶

New cast on update… still think the pattern is silly. Am getting the hang of it though. Finished right front bit yesterday, started left front then 🐸’d it. Tried again today and made small progress because I’m 🤒 with whatever husband has 🙁 🧶 #knitsky #showmeyourknits #knitting #showmeyourwip

So um I cast on a new project. I was sat in my icebox office today, wrapped up in my scarf and a gilet shivering my ass off. Thought to self “I need a cosy vest for under my work shirt & it must be a woollen hand knit”. Then this happened.. 🧶 #knitsky #craftsky #fibersky #knitting Info in alt txt

She’s complete except for weaving in ends. Yay! One more wip off the stitch list. 🧶 Now what to do next. #knisky #fibersky #craftsky #knitting #knittedshawl

Ithe finish line for my Westknits Shawlography is so close I can taste it. Unfortunately no progress will be made today as the farm is calling for attention today. 🧶 #knitsky #fibersky #craftsky #westknits #shawlography #shawlknitting #cottonyarn

And… they are done. Sized down by a size and a bit. My shrunken sox are ready for gifting. #knitsky #fibresky #craftsky #sockknitting #knittedsocks

Started with a 3.25mm needle then decided to drop down to 2.75mm because the stitches had shrunk in link with the whole sock shrinkage. Wish me luck 🍀 🧶 #knitsky #fibersky #craftsky #knitting #knittedsocks

Today I will be ignoring all my other wips to resize these socks so I can gift to a friend with tiny feet. Made them for me, stupidly shrunk them. I could fix them for me but I’d rather gift them. #knitsky 🧶 #craftsky #fibresky #knittedsocks

Some progress on my Lovely Leave Blanket. I’d be further along if I didn’t f><k up the counts on two rows and have to frog back 3 times! Lesson learnt am now counting counting counting….. Check out my lovely assistants who had to join the photoshoot #knitsky 🧶 #craftsky #fibresky

I’ve put down my other project for a few hours to make progress on this old thing. It’s a #westknits #ShawographyMKAL from years ago that I’ve had in the wip pile. When I chose this pure cotton & colours I ❤️❤️❤️’d. 3 years on not so much. But hey it will be useful to keep me toasty at the office. 🧶

Have eaten loads of chocolate and made great progress on this pretty thing Fiddlesticks Eddy Lovely Leaves Blanket Mijo Crochet #knitsky #crochet #fibrecraft #gettingcrafty

I got all the way to row 16 then decided I really didn’t like the way each round started. So I pulled it back to the first round and now I’m doing a standing double crochet. I’m much happier with the invisible start to each row. Fiddlesticks Eddy Lovely Leaves Blanket by Mijo Crochet 🧶 #knitsky

Stitch by stitch this project is coming together. #craftsky #embroidery #fibresky #upcycleArt 🧶

Next project on the hook 🧶 I picked up the yarn at a craft festival I visited last weekend. Yarn & pattern details in ALT Txt. I’ve been focusing so hard on knitting lately it’s refreshing to do something different. Four rows in and I’m really liking it. #crochetsky #craftsky#fibresky

The shawl is finished, still not blocked but modelled on this lovely gent me and the girls met at a farm open day today at Kin Kin. This is Alex & he’ll be on “Farmer Wants a Wife” Australia in April. We are all going to watch and see if Alex found the woman he was looking for. #knitsky #fibersky

The shawl is done! Except for weaving in the ends 😆 Little man DJ had to be in the pre-blocking photo. #westknitsmkal2025 #musikal2025 #knitsky #craftsky #fibersky #knitting #NoLongerAWip

Time for the icord bind off!!!!!!! 🧶 Squeeeeeeeeeee #knitsky #craftsky #fibresky #westknitsmkal2025 #musikal2025

The beginnings of the end. I’ve gone off pattern and am just making it up now 😆 🧶 #knitsky #fibresky #craftsky #westknitsmkal2025 #musikal2025

Deadline is approaching fast must keep stitching #stitchsky #craftsky #embroidery #fibrecraft

I’ve started a scrappy embroidery project. Why? Because I can. I’ve had some Holly Hobbie style bed sheets laying around for years and today is the day I make some stitch art with it. #craftsky #stitchsky #embroiderysky 🧶

And so the final chapter of my #westknitsmkal2025 #musikal2025 has commenced. I’m not doing the designer’s clue 4 as brioche kicks my butt every time & I wish to finish this year. Also the other option which is garter stitch was a bit 🥱, so I’m making it up based on clue 2 of the pattern. 🧶 #knitsky

We have peplum! She is finished blocked and has had her first outing. I love her ❤️ #knitsky #showmeyourknits #craftsky #yarnsky #freshoftheneedles Bracklinn crop by @littletheoremknits.bsky.social Yarn by Mophead by Linda 4ply/fingering weight

Argh! I messed up my top! Missed a step in a 5 row lace section and doubled the stitches making an accidental flutter waist. Contemplating whether to finish off the sleeves and let it be or frog back and fix. What do you think #knitsky ? 🧶

Clue 3 is complete! I’m a bit sad about it. Why? Because clue 4 is brioche and it’s hard so I’m going to do the garter stripe version instead which is a bit yawn 🥱 #knitsky #stephenwest #westknitsmkal2025 #musikal2025 #SayNoToBrioche

I’m so close to finishing Clue 3 and really want to keep going today. Unfortunately the farm and cattle need my attention today. #WouldRatherBeKnitting #knitsky 🧶 #westknitsmkal2025 #musikal2025

Should I add a little purple mohair to my #westknitsmkal2025 #MusiKal? What do you think #knitsky peeps? Yay 🙌🏼 Or Nay 🙅🏼‍♀️ #craftsky #yarnsky

Throwback 2 the start of my #westknitsmkal2025 as I reflect on endings. Today myself & 3 friends packed up my LYS. A business I’ve had for 5 years. Tomorrow the shelving will be removed & by 28 Feb it will officially be over. I’m not sad #knitsky, just tired. Embracing the end & a new beginning.

#showmeyourknits #garterstitch Got a few rows done on my #westknitsmkal2025 today but I’m not showing that. You get this lovely garter stitch snap 🧶 #knitsky #craftsky #yarnsky #musikal2025

Today’s progress on my #musikal2025 I’d love to just forget everything else and keep going but I do need to drive to the farm, feed some animals, mow some lawn, visit Mum, pick up some groceries, update my website, write a newsletter ………..

I didn’t knit at all yesterday. Life drama was really distracting and I decided best to not even try to knit as my mind would surely wander and mistakes would follow. Took an afternoon nap on the couch instead. Woke up and it was dark out. 🌒 This morning I have managed to add to my beautiful

And again a balls up. This time slip 3 with yarn in front instead of slip 3 with yarn in Back. 😭 Brain is definitely not working so well this afternoon. No need to tink this time though 😮‍💨 🧶 #knitsky #westknitsmkal2025 #musikal2025

So annoyed with myself. Started the nxt row of my #musikal2025 stopped 9 stitches in, 2nd guessed the numbers. Tinked. Knitted. Tinked. Brain glitched got stuck in holding pattern. 45 minutes of doom scrolling later 💡The pattern is not the problem. It’s me! 😭 Who else does this? #knitsky

Progress on part 2 of clue 3. I’m loving this basketweave effect. #westknitsnkal2026 #musikal2025 #knitsky

Clue 3 Part 2 has commenced. So many stitches. Fun to knit though. I’m excited about more colour madness. 🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶 #westknitsmkal2025 #westknitsmusikal2025 #musical2025 #knitsky #shawlknitting

Clue 3 Part 1 complete! My fingers and brain want to keep working but I have adulting to do and that suuuux! #westknitsmkal2025 #westknitsmusikal2025 #musical2025 #knitsky #shawlknitting

I’m on the last modular stripe row of clue 3 part 1. Absolutely thought I would not love this section because of the “squareness” after the squiggle and curve of clues 1 & 2, but WoW was I wrong! I ❤️❤️❤️it. #westknitsmjal2025 #musikal2025 #knitsky #showusyourwips 🧶

Small progress the last two days. I’m knitting every night now. It’s been a long time since I’ve done that. It feels really good. 🧶 #knitsky #westknitsmkal2025 #musikal2025 #knittingistheantidote
