The little Sunflower seed inspired shawl is finished!! 😄 Knitted with 1 strand of fingering weight and 1 strand of mohair silk to get a striped feel 💛🌻💛 I'm thinking of trying a small scarf with this lace pattern, perhaps an mustard yellow or a pale green 🤔 #knitting #knitsky 🧶

The Sunflower collection is now available, the patterns are available individually or as an ebook. I used neon yellow and black to symbolize the importance of finding joy, and cultivating your inner light, in the presence of darkness, and I'm truly grateful for the inspiration to create these!! 💛🌻

Thank you to everyone who joined in #showmeyourknits cowl week! I'm truly grateful for the chance to host, for all of the beautiful work and inspiration that was shared! 💕 So here's the last cowl post, as we near the end of the week🧶☺️✨ - Tales of the Tundra - Op Tiki in the Round - Rosita Cowl

#FOFriday 🧶 once again! Here is my contribution, washed blocked and ready to wear (when it gets cold!), the lovely Confluence Cable Cowl designed by @samantha-west.bsky.social knit by me in Malabrigo Rios English Rose. A fun knit with interesting cables and some very nice texture.😍

🧶 #ShowMeYourKnits I'm a little late but, here is a cowl I knit a few years ago. It was part of an online class where we used a painting as inspiration for colours & patterns. I used The Large Blue Horses by Franz Marc as my inspiration, dyeing the yarn & designed the horse chart.

It's #FOFriday, and the last day of #showmeyourknits cowl week! The Vinyl weekend cowl is finished ☺️🎵🎶🎧 and is one of my favourite knits this year! Patterns: Tech and Music Doodle cowls by @pacificknitco.bsky.social #knit #knitsky 🧶✨💕

The first cowl for #showmeyourknits cowl week is finished!! I had soo much fun knitting the Chili Pepper cowl!! ❤️🌶️💚 The Chili pepper motifs were adapted from Stone Knits' Spicy socks. I'm beyond grateful for the friendship, joy and sense of community that I have found here! 💕 #knitting #knitsky

It felt needed to show my appreciation @samantha-west.bsky.social You have created so many beautiful pieces and memories and reflections of who I am. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for always sending the best energy into the universe for me and taking the time to get to know me as well 🐰💕🧶✨✨

Inspired by this week's #ShowMeYourKnits prompt of Cables, this morning I cast on the Confluence Cable Cowl by @samantha-west.bsky.social in Malabrigo Rios in English Rose. A lovely fresh design and an opportunity to use my new Lykke Driftwood interchangeables for the first time😁

#FOFriday 🧶 I am so pleased with this weeke's finished object, the Cloudberry Wrap by Lisa Hannes @maliha-designs.bsky.social knit in Malabrigo Rios Frank Ochre. Such a joyful colour on a grey and drizzly day. ☀️ It needs blocking to really make the cables shine, so that is a job for next week!😁

Continuing with the stylized Sunflowers for #WIPWednesday The colours aren't as saturated as the cowl but still loving them! 🖤💛🖤🌻 Worked in Big Fox yarn perfect sock. #knitting #knitsky #justknitting 🧶

My finished Butterfly Fingerless Gloves (pattern: Kimberly Porter). The duplicate stitch was fiddly in the narrow space of a mitt and got off to a very rocky start (there may have been cursing), but I persevered! Pleased with the finished product. 🦋🧶 #knitsky #knitting

#sewandtell this week is hand sewn projects! As strange as it may seem to some, I don't mind seaming or sewing up my projects ☺️ So here are a few of my hand sewn blankets. More info on the patterns in the comments. #knitting #knitsky #crochet #crochetsky 🧶💕

So, what are your hand sewn projects? Do you sew the whole thing by hand or do you just sew up the occasional finishing detail by hand. By the way #knitting and #crochet projects, that involve hand sewing are absolutely fair game for this #SewAndTell prompt. 2/2

The sunny folks in my life are crafting and creating. Bring on summer! 🌞 1. @samantha-west.bsky.social 2. @jolior.bsky.social 3. @hudsonsartstuff.bsky.social 4. @fstoplad.bsky.social
