I’ve started knitting a new version of this pattern. I need to tweak it a bit before it’s ready to share with the world. 🐸🧶🔁

First time at piping. Not too shabby. Now to see if I can #sew on the top and bottom of the cushion.

Christmas knits! #showmeyourknits Christmas ornaments from the Snowball Buddies pattern by Susan Claudino

Gytha worsted makes up the majority of these skeins, a beauitful base that is hopefully only temporarily discontinued. It's a cloud like falklands merino and I adore it, but as I can't currently dye anymore... it's to your benefit! #yarn #knitsky

I was in 2 minds abt this colorway "Monastic Sunset" when I created it for the #BookOfKells collection. I thought it might get overshadowed by other colorways but I've been pleasantly surprised by how much many of you love it. This recent roving order turned out gorgeously, I think. 🧶 #yarnsky

#showmeyourknits Did someone say seasonal? Freestyling what will be a lined, zipped jacket. I think the next pattern band will be small diamonds. More seasonal to follow.

#knitting - help! I cannot see any pics on my feed today - anyone else got issues/got an idea as to why??? Thanks.

A beautiful cave full of echoes and of course steeped in folklore. For Day 4 we're adding a new colourway to the Scottish Follklore Collection. Fingal's Cave! In the Isle of Staffa this "Uamh-Binn" has inspired many a melody and poetry too! www.thirdvaultyarns.com/ourshop/cat_... #yarn #knitsky

mini skein would take me in a mitten. So if you have lots of mini skeins you can get your stash down by doing stranded colorwork mittens like this. So everyone clap for me for braving a more complicated pattern lol. 🧶 #yarnsky #showmeyourknits #yarnmarket #yarnlove #indieyarndyer

#showmeyourknits ok, I'm too late for floof week, but these are indie dyes and designers. Dark is Victoria Marchant Knits, but I'd need to look up the other designer if asked. Hand dyed yarns from Skein Queen (snowy floof) not sure about others but could take a guess! Bought @ East Anglia Yarn Fest

Fellow #knitters 🧶I have decided to knit a Nordic-style winter zipped jacket/cardigan. Thinking about lining it - anyone done this/have tips for me? Not sure what I'd line it with, possibly something with a little stretch? Or more slippery?

Hubs not very happy with a bloke who was doing some work for him. He described ill-placed jokes, pooly landed with an element of patronising. I told him - welcome to a woman's world. It pulled him up - really? Yes, all the flippin' time...

Any other knitters# knit during F1? Points are now so close I may have to put it down for the next 2 races! Max on the same points as Oscar & Lando not in the clear yet. Lewis' torrid year continues, 70+ points behind Charles, yet 6th in the standings, so perhaps not so bad?

#showmeyourknits floof? Well, I've just cast on a hat using up some end-of-line-discounted-mohair! I didn't have a use for it, then it dawned on me that it's fingering weight & so has good length. Weather is getting cold so hat it is. May have enough for skinny scarf or mitts.

#showmeyourknits - floof question, since it's floof week. I've done some pieces with floof held with merino, but am getting 'tangles' on the back from where I've been seated - any tips? It's really put me off using it further but a) I like it and b) I have a stash...!!!

OK sock #knit people - I don't knit men's socks, so am after advice. UK size 9, 2.5mm needle, fingering/4ply - how many stitches would you go for? Knitting toe-up & I'd normally do 60/64 for myself, but I have small feet. Thinking 66? I did try 72 but way too wide. Baggy sock just won't do!

They say that you should never cook with wine that you wouldn't drink. I couldn't do it. The expensive wine remains on the rack & I picked up a cheap bottle of red from M&S for the food. Cheers!

This medievalist doesn't just study dragons, I sometimes knit them. Just finished this #dragontalecowl I chose colors from the #BookOfKells collection "Mossy Marginalia" & "Radiant Golden Brown" inspired by a 16thc Black figure. 🧶 100% merino DK & a sparkle blend. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #yarnsky

Joking in a coffee shop about my many hand knitted socks with another regular. He made comment about his foot size (as in, I'm this size if you're #knitting extras). So, I'm going to surprise him, but what design?

#showmeyourknits these won't be on my needles for much longer! Just doing the cuff. I think I prefer toe-up socks as I can decide to add pattern, length etc based on yarn left. Also, I like the flushness of the heel.

#showmeyourknits At the sad face phase of socks, must get some googly eyes for effect! Cabled socks in heavy worsted weight. Hoping they'll let my feet get in, they are quite firm. Just the foot to go.

And more ✨ #knitsky #knitting #knitter #justknitting #testcall #testknitting

Does anyone know anything about the Math for Knitters book? I ordered it in paperback 2 days ago. Now, it says canceled, and everywhere I look says it won't be out until Aug 2026? What happened here? Tariffs? Publishing issue? The bookstore setting it as available when it wasn't? So weird.

#knitting advice please. Just cast on yet another pair of socks, but I have loads. Thinking about morphing them into mittens (no real experience w'mittens). These were to be toe-up socks. So, advice is about thumbs - reverse-engineer graduated thumb, or do a slit type thumb which sits on palm side?

And the accompanying pattern, 'Cubetti Compagne'! A scarf and cowl pattern in one, with multiple yarn options, detailed instructions and construction schematics. #KnitSky 🧶 woollywormhead.com/product/cube...

My last #socktober offering? #knitting I fancied doing a toe-up pair to see what I preferred, as well as sorting out 'my' sizing etc. (Still a bit wide) Pattern is Sinope by Audrey Borrego.

#socktober is nearly over, which means so is the sock pattern sale! Here are my Coriander Socks from July 2025! To get my sock designs on sale all for #socktober2025 using any/all of the following codes in the reply below. #knitsky #sockknitting #verybusymonkeydesigns

When people say they have bed socks, not sure many mean socks I #knit in bed! #socktober

#knitting #socktober I didn't win at yarn chicken, but I am close to the toe. I have some similar yarn I'm going to use. I thought about a totally different colour, then wondered who would see that part 🙈 Semi solid black yarn by Quack Yarns. Orange and peach yarns by Creative Anarchy. Both UK

A squishy order of Balthazar's Gift 2 in fluffy Aran weight yarn in 100% merino. The figure it is inspired by is still one of my fave medieval depictions of Balthazar the Magi bc he has the best "work it" pose. Anyway who would have thought this colorway was fit for a king? 🧶 #yarnsky #yarnlove

#knitting I have some aran wool - enough to make a nice sweater, but I have 3 different colours so I'd need to think hard about design. Is it bad that I'm thinking a few pairs of long socks instead?

#showmeyourknits more socks drying outside 🤣

#showmeyourknits Nearly time to get the long socks out again. From the book Knitted Socks from Finland. Another pair is on the washing line 🙃

#showmeyourknits I'm at that point where I want to grab some googly eyes and a couple of pink tongues! These are knitting up so quickly for a ribbed sock and they are so thick, great for winter house socks. Not sure I can get dress boots on with them, maybe hiking boots.

#showmeyourknits oops, I had some yarn left from last week's sweater sooooooo

what a day for a Daydream Sweater! pattern on danielamuhlbauer.com #knitsky

Here's a free knitting pattern for some simple, cuff-down DK boot socks. germandercottagecrafts.com/simple-dk-so... #socktober #sockknitting #knitsky

Not been fan of Argos (UK retailer) for ages. Just got too £££'s & customer service lacking. Roll on 15+ years and they had best deal for new washing machine. Price-matched, but included delivery & recycle (=decent saving). Chaps arrived at 7am & unexpectedly fitted the new one! Get in!!

I've got this far with the freestyle jumper with disliked yarn. Just got to think about the bottom half of the body. I've got about 150g yarn left, so plenty to play with. Provisional neck cast on so I can play with that.

Bit cheesed off atm, but you live & learn. Bought some yarn prob 3yrs ago & it's been on a shelf as I didn't like it that much - used some for another project & realised it doesn't wash well. Just decided to freestyle a jumper only either the yarn is poor, or moths have been at it 😒 #knitting

Creative Anarchy Yarns have some lovely sock sets ready to order - just sayin' as it's socktober! #knitting creativeanarchyyarn.co.uk/products/blo...

Can you tell what it is yet? #knitting (cos I'm making it up as I go along)

The socks got completely frogged, now at the heel. I couldn't rest with the 3mm needle. This pattern suggested a 2.75mm but I couldn't find one, so 2.5mm it is! Yes, the lacework is a little tight but a previous pair was a little loose on. Not much of the brown left. #knitting

All I can say is - she has a very good point (and I've seen her run too) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Charcoal 🔥 On Velma lace weight silk blend skeins. Dark and dreamy! Lace weight skeins have +/- 875 yards in a 100g skein…that’s A LOTTA skinny strands of silky fibers! Five skeins listed now. #laceweight #handdyedyarn #yarn

Is it bad to be planning my next #knitting project before finishing the last half-dozen (or more)? I had a sudden moment of inspiration over 400g of DK yarn I don't like. I think I'm now getting more of a 'feel' for the fabric I'm making, so becoming far less reliant on patterns 😁
