A friend just sent me this wonderful post from Audacious Ewe that popped up on her FB feed. Take care of yourselves everyone - keep calm and keep knitting 🧶💕 #knitsky

I have a garter stitch project ready to start, so a deconstructed contribution for #showmeyourknits this week! Some luscious La Bien Aimée cashmerino arrived yesterday to make this shawlette, with Laine X Novita 4 ply for the tiny tassels. Free pattern: loopknitting.com/products/tin... #knitsky

All finished! One felted project bag whipped up this week and now filled with 15 balls of Katia Gentile Merino, Italian wool from Puglia, ready to knit a blanket. Knitted on 8mm needles, it was a v satisfying speedy knit. Bag pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #knitsky #knitting

After too much news scrolling, I've prescribed myself some sanity today by knitting round and round and round in chunky, super soft, pure wool! Bliss. 🧶💕 It's going to be a project bag, which I'll felt. Details in alt text. #wipWednesday #knitsky #knitting

Visited the 'Titanic & Fashion - The Last Dance' exhibition today at the Kunstmuseum in The Hague. What a treat! Dress from the era 1908-1918 and from the 1997 film "Titanic". Details in the alt text. #FashionHistory

Oh dear! Here are the beginnings of a blanket - Rowan Midwinter by Martin Storey. I started it in the Autumn of '24... and stopped a few weeks later! Perhaps I could complete 12 or 16 squares and make a cushion? #showmeyourknits 🧶

My Varde shawl is *almost* finished - it's off the needles and just needs blocking. It measures about 82"/ 210 cm long. First time knitting with Gilliatt and it is officially gorgeous! Pattern from 52 Weeks of Scarves by Laine Publishing. #showmeyourknits #knitsky 🧶

Lovikka mittens washed & felted a little. Just wondering whether or not to add some embroidery to the cuffs to finish them off. Including a photo of pink scrap yarn temporarily knitted in, ready to be removed and stitches picked up for the thumb. Knitting is magic ✨🧶 #wipWednesday #knitsky #Knitting

Update on my Varde scarf, or rather shawl - it's going to be big! 28 more rows to go... It's a gift for an old school friend who I'll be seeing in Feb. Lovely meditative knit with all the repeats. #wipWednesday #knitsky #knitting 🧶

This 🧶 conference looks very promising! Wide range of speakers on history, craft & identity in hand-knitting... From Shetland fine lace and Fair Isle, to the Faroe Islands, Appalachia and even to a 17th c. Swedish warship! #knitsky #knitting 🧶 knittinghistory.co.uk/knitting-his...

Me: Percy, where's my merino, stranded colourwork cowl that I've just carefully blocked and laid out on the ironing board? Percy: Hmm? #caturday #knitsky

#Showmeyourknits has prompted me to dig out this little cardi I made for my daughter when she was about 3. It was well worn, going from hip length to bolero style in a couple of years! I can't put my hands on the pattern - it was by Hayfields - I'll post it when I find it. #knitsky #Knitting 🧶

The beginnings of a mitten for #wipwednesday, knit with 2 strands of Plötulopi - a pure, unspun roving Icelandic wool in Ash heather colour. The yarn is v fragile as a single strand but knits well double. Pattern is Lovikka Mittens by Kristin Drysdale. #knitsky #Knitting 🧶

I've cracked open my 52 Weeks of Scarves book and started pattern no. 50 'Varde'. Yarn is Gilliatt by De Rerum Natura in Forêt colourway, which comes from Arles merino sheep raised in Provence and is gorgeously plump and squidgy. #wipwednesday #knitting #lainepublishing 🧶

Here's 3 mins of escape, which I'm sure many of us could use. This gorgeously made short film from Uist Wool always reminds me of the many, wider reasons I love working with such a wonderful material. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8Lk... www.uistwool.com #knitsky

Super excited to start with these Novita yarns! Still looking for a scarf pattern... Luscious wine colour. Bought recently together with Lettlopi yarn at knitting fair in Nijkerk in the Netherlands. #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

Onto the sleeves with this WIP for my daughter. Knitted in Icelandic Lettlopi yarn - it's going to be so warm esp as yoke is with 3 strands! Pattern: saskie.co/nocturnal/ #ShowMeYourKnits #knitsky 🧶

9 mins of film from 1964 on Shetland shawl knitters, courtesy of the BBC Archives. Absolute works of art! And I don't think I've ever seen anyone knit so fast! Apologies if this is only available in the UK. #knitsky #knitting 🧶 www.bbc.co.uk/videos/c9e5g...

Oh Percy! It's such hard work being a knitting buddy... #caturday #knitting #knitsky 🧶

I don't think I've ever knitted with yellow 🙀, apart from just last week when I made this lace sample in pale lemon! Not yet blocked. I must have known! #showmeyourknits 🧶

For #WIPWednesday here's an update on my Clematis scarf - it's sprouted some leaves and a flower! #knitsky #knitting 🧶

Last time I was knitting outside was in a car - if that counts! #showmeyourknits On my needles, a summery jumper in DMC Natura cotton 🧶 Pattern: www.dmc.com/NL/en-GB/pro... #knitsky

Me: Percy, you're lying on my silk mohair knitting. Percy: What?! You expect me to know the difference with DK? #knitsky #knitting #cats

#showmeyourknits this week reminded me of this little cowl I made for my daughter about 8 yrs ago in some handspun yarn I bought at a spinning demonstration near Faversham in Kent. 🧶 #knitsky Pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

Cuppa & cake time... A square of the raspberry & blueberry limoncello drizzle cake I made yesterday.
