Project updates for #WIPWednesday 🧶✨💕 I had tension issues with the Galaxy of Change, so I decided to 🐸 For my #crochet project this week I decided to stash bust some cotton and started an African Flower bag! And the #knitting a new pair of mitts, Underwing by Erica Heusser in Navy and Chartreuse

And the "I" knit for the #knittingthealphabet the alphabet is finished 💚👽🛸 I believe 😁 I used leftover Malabrigo Rios for the background colour for a fade! #knit #knitsky 🧶✨

The #crochetaway theme this week is Granny Squares! Granny squares have a special place in my heart, my Grandmother loved granny square blankets and I used to make them in University with my Mom's leftover yarn! This blanket features the Lavenham Square by Jacqui Goulbourn in the middle. #crochet 🧶

#ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 this week Liv wants to see Autumnal knits. I believe I can oblige! In the spirit of openness, I confess these are all my designs. As you can see, I do like autumnal colours!

#showmeyourknits this week is autumn knits!! 🍂🍁 My favourite set of Autumn knits are the Featherlight beanie and the Outfoxed mitts both by Erica Heusser. And knitted in Miss la Motte singles. #knit #knitsky 🧶

It's #botanicaltuesday 🌱✨💚💕🌸 My orchids are blooming beautifully, and have some new growth!! One cucumber seedling 🥒 and two tomatoes ❤️🍅. There's a tiny kale too, but really a bit small for photos! #orchidlove #bloomscrolling

I found a sweater to share for this week's #showmeyourknits 😁✨ Here is one I knitted for my Dad a few years back! #knitting #knitsky 🧶

And my socks are finished! It's been a good reading month for me, 8 books this month, and the 14 books for the next pair of book socks are nearly done too! So those will definitely be my next sock WIP! 🧦 While the book was good, I definitely enjoyed the first one a little more! #knit 🧶 #booksky

Art as a means of resistance. My outrage at the state of affairs these days spills into my ceramics work. Among other things, I support a woman's unconditional right to choose. #PlannedParenthood #handmade #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #HandmadeMugs #queerartist #queerart #handthrownpottery

Ribbing and first 12 rows of color work complete! So far my first foray into color work is going well, knock on wood. Needed a couple of rows to get into a rhythm of remembering to pick up floats, but I think my tension is ok. Pattern: @samantha-west.bsky.social Yarn: Juniper Moon Farms #KnitSky

I like prompt games like #showmeyourknits and #crochetaway, but I'm missing one for #sewing. So I'm starting my own game. Let's #sewandtell 🧵 For the first week, we start with something first. Can be your very frist sewing or maybe the first time you mastered a difficult technic ... #sewsky 1/3

This is my first of two projects planned for #knittingthealphabet H, inspired by a series of photos. I've been wanting to knit this for a while, I'm excited I got the chance! Pattern: Halibut hat by Caitlin Hunter, knitted in Elle Merino DK Silver, and Malabrigo Rios. #knitting #knitsky #knit 🧶

I haven't made a pair of book inspired socks for a while! Since I loved the first Rabbits socks so much, when the second book arrived, I knew another pair was in order - with stripes of course! #showmeyourknits Patterns: Painting Rainbows & Rain or Shine Socks by Westknits #knitting #booksky 🧶📚

I think I do have some stripes to share for #showmeyourknits ... This is the Starflake Shawl by Nim Teasdale, knit in cotton/acrylic with a few lace panels in merino. My first true lace project 3y ago(you can't see where I messed up the repeats before "succumbing" to st markers 🤣) P by Elea, Leipzig

This hat was inspired by #showmeyourknits scrap week! I honestly thought it would be done in time, but the last two weeks have been very busy, so it's a bit late... it does have a stripe though! 😁 So here is the 8 Bit Doodle Hat by Jamie Lomax, Pac Man edition! 🕹️✨❤️🎮 #knitsky #knit 🧶

It's #botanicaltuesday 😊 These pepper and tomato plants survived the winter under a shelter and are starting to fruit!! And the flowers are starting to bloom, spring is on its way! ✨🌿🌱🌸💕

Oh #showmeyourknits is doing scrap yarn projects? That’s my whole raison d’être.

#showmeyourknits this week is all about scrappy knits!! I absolutely love finding fun ways to use up leftover yarn, the hats and the cowl all used small amounts of leftover Malabrigo Rios, with Elle Merino DK as MC. And one of my favourite leftover knits are the liquorice allsorts socks! #knit 🧶

My next FO for my #knittingthealphabet challenge! For G, I decided on the Glacier Park Cowl by Caitlin Hunter! To adapt this to DK/worsted, I casted on 126st and decided on a 3x3 rib. This was a fun knit, and I love how the Malabrigo Candombe colourway knitted up! #knit #knitsky 🧶
