This is Storm Shawl; yarn colour is called My Darling Iris. Knit in remembrance of my Mom, Iris, who LOVED a good summer storm. “Hey kids! Who wants to go outside for a closer look?!!!” 😂 I miss her. ❤️ #showmeyourknits #knitsky

I don’t really knit a lot of cowls. But when I do they have colour. Because winter is grey and gloomy where I live. This one is huge and warm and can be pulled over your head for maximum cold protection. #showmeyourknits #knitsky

I am a slow cabler, but it is so worth my time. One of my favourite knits is this cozy cabled cardigan - definitely my most worn item during this never ending Canadian winter. #showmeyourknits #knitsky

I love yellow! Especially for winter knits. Winter is sooooo gloomy where I live, so I like my winter wear to be Sunshine. This is the Dragonfly Hat by Joji Locatelli, knit with Rose Hill Yarns DK merino. #showmeyourknits #canadianknitter #rosehillyarn #jojilocatelli #winterhater

New adjustable bookmarks available April 28 📚

Most of my knits end up being gifts. Maybe I’m a weirdo, but I usually have guilt if I am knitting something for myself. This is something I am working on. In the meantime, here is a Like a Cloud Cardigan I made for my husband’s aunt. #showmeyourknits #giftknitting #knitsky

I am not super proficient at colour work, but I did manage to pull these off. #showmeyourknits #colourwork

A lovely pattern by Joji Locatelli knit in a glorious shade of green, dyed by Sea Turtle Fibre Arts. #showmeyourknits #knittersofbluesky #canadianknitters

One time I was knitting a sock and I put my glasses down without looking and then this happened. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #sockknitting

Book Mail is Happy Mail! Even better when the books are mysteries that involve yarn shops. Also, sweet Ogilvy in his adorable knitted sweater/dress is on a couple of banned book lists. Make it make sense. Anyone? 🤦🏻‍♀️ #booksky #bannedbooks #knitsky

Lace knitting is my favourite kind of knitting. This is Hitofude by Hiroko Fukatsu. #showmeyourknits #knitsky

I also like video games. 🎮 My family gifted me a flashback this Christmas. #nes #genx #gaming

While the title suggests I am reading about the current state of affairs in the US, this novel is actually a celebration of Diversity, Inclusion, and even Equality. Basically, the maga-cult would HATE this. Therefore, everyone should read it. Immediately. 📖 #booksky #resistancethroughreading

My daughter is reading A Tale of Two Cities and is really excited about Madame Defarge because Madame uses knitting stitches as a secret code during the French Revolution. In conclusion, this is a great idea; Knitters United are The Resistance. And also, books have the answers. #booksky #knitsky

Just finished. I have Onxy Storm waiting on my shelf, but I think I need a break? An emotional reprieve. Because, whew. 😥 #booksky

Car knitting. #knitting

I also like video games. And therefore, video game-themed knitting things make me happy. Like these Animal Crossing stitch markers made by Rabbits in the Roses. 😍@rabbitsintheroses.bsky.social #knitting #animalcrossing #nintendo

New to BlueSky, so forgive the awkwardness as I figure things out. Mostly, I am a voracious reader, a knitter, and therefore a collector of books and yarn. 📖 🧶 This was my Goal Knit, my “someday when I am skilled enough” knit - Penelope by Rhyflower Knits. #canadianknitter
