#showmeyourknits WIP's Two of my current #knit WIP's, first is cowl to match the Blackbird hat 🩷🐦‍⬛💜🧶 And the Poet scarf is growing, it looks slightly out of shape at the moment but will bloom beautifully with some blocking!

My first scrappy make of the year! The Mini BetteRings of Change by Frank O'Randle, is a free Ravelry download. This is my second one and I used DK leftovers to #crochet this and love the colours! 🧶💜🩷💙🩵🤍💛

#WIPWednesday update! So the Stromboli is on the needles, there are soo many stitches and the #knitting is slow - but it's going and I'm excited! 😁 The time trades has been shelved for the time being for some neon colour dopamine knitting! 💛💕 This is the start of a Poet scarf!

#showmeyourknits Firsts! First FO for the year! I was inspired by @gilafied.bsky.social to join the Tales of the Tundra MKAL by Mary P. Hunt and I'm so glad I did, it was such fun! I picked bright, vibrant colours and I couldn't think of a nicer way to start off the year! 🩷💙🩵 #knit 🧶 #knitsky

To preface this was my least favorite MKAL ever. The sections were just kind of a slog, and I had to customize it more than I like, however- I am still proud I finished this absolute BEAST (the final bind off was over 1,600 stitches alone) And now on to simpler things!

#showmeyourknits this week is Firsts!! Here are some of my knitting firsts 🧶💕 The Stink Bug cowl - my first test knit. Geogradient shawl - my first mystery KAL I'm so basic socks - my first socks Bunny Silhouette hat - my first published design. #knitting #knitsky

There are two extremely fun, and colourful projects in the works at the moment - this is the scrappy Mini BetteRings of Change by Frank O'Randle and the other is the Tales of the Tundra Cowl by Mary P. Hunt. It's a mystery KAL which I hope to share on the 6th! 🩷💜🩵💙💛🤍 💓🧶 #crochet #crochetsky

Happy New Year! Thread: January plans and intentions for the New Year Rather than set specific goals or challenges, this year I wish to set intentions that I'd like to guide my making this year. I've decided on three areas of focus. 1. Low buy, & having one WIP using leftovers #knit #crochet 🧶

Squeeking in almost at the last minute, the very last FO of 2025! Nascent Cable Cowl by Samantha West, knit in Malabrigo Rios Ankara Green. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... I'll block it tomorrow, but just had to try it on and it is fabulous🥰🧶

Z is for Zingy, I didn't have red yarn for this pepper inspired hat, but think the orange worked perfectly and it matches the peppers too! I can't believe the #knittingthealphabet is finished, it's been such fun and I think this final piece is one of my favourites! #knitsky #knit 🧶

I have 557 Ravelry projects and I filtered only 1 knitted cardigan!! This is tragic and something that will need to be rectified in the new year! Brioche is also glaring in its absence 🫣 new year goals! But here's the 1 cardigan for this week's #showmeyourknits Pattern is Itaka by Svetlana Volkova

Vest done, buttons are on! The light colored buttons are a light green and look very good in person. The main yarn is a bit less orangey, as well. #knitting
