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 🧶

For any lover of textiles/ fibre arts, this podcast is wonderful! I've just binged-listened the first series whilst knitting today - fascinating tales from around the world and from throughout history to today. Available here: hapticandhue.com/listen/ or on Spotify. #knitsky 🧶 #textiles

My recent WIP is finished! Wet blocked and now ready to wear. It was a fun knit. Yarn is Icelandic Lettlopi & pattern saskie.co/nocturnal/ #knitsky #showmeyourknits

I've bought my diary for 2026! 😊🧶💕 #knitting #knitsky #lainepublishing

Frost on car windscreen yesterday... I think Nature is telling me to buy yarn 🧶💕 #knitsky

More FLOOF! A jumper with no sleeves and a deep V neck. It looks good thrown over a white shirt. Knitted in Concept by Katia Eden yarn (a merino, viscose, mohair & alpaca mix). Pattern no. 28 in Concept pattern book No.10. #showmeyourknits #knitsky

My #WIPWednesday is the cuff of the 'Nocturnal' jumper, which I'll finish today. Love how effective this K1 P1 rib is with contrasting colours. Yarn is Lettlopi. #knitsky

Loved knitting this jumper in Isager Eco Soft (baby alpaca/ organic cotton mix). Knitted top down with a plait cable running seamlessly down the collar, shoulder and sleeve. German short rows make back longer than front. 3/4 sleeves. Pattern: is Zopf by Midori Hirose. #Showmeyourknits #knitsky

Hat knitted a few years ago in Rowan Alpaca Classic. Great theme this week with FLOOF! #ShowMeYourKnits It isn't v practical to be honest, a bit floppy and not v warm! Pattern is 'Millie' by Mode at Rowan.

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 🧶

My 'inbetween projects' WIP, which sprouts an extra leaf every now & then! Will finish it eventually 😊 Scarf pattern by Dee Hardwicke: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #ShowMeYourKnits #knitsky 🎂🧶

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 🧶

Not a WIP anymore! Have finished my #showmeyourknits scarf from a couple of weeks ago. Not rusts and browns but Autumnal dusky mauve with flecks of mustard and pomegranate. Pattern: susiehaumann.dk/produkt/upto... #WIPWednesday 🧶

Haven't posted for a while 🙀 but I do have a WIP #showmeyourknits Triangular shawl knitted alternately with La Bien Aimée merino in Rose Quartz and CaMaRose Midnatssol in Aubergine. To be finished with an i cord border in Kidsilk Haze in Majestic. Pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/uptown

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.

My peonies this morning - happy #bloomscrolling today! 🌺

On my needles for #showmeyourknits WIP week 🚧 is Clematis, a light-as-air scarf in Rowan Kidsilk Haze & Drops kidsilk. 25 more rows before I start the flowers in duplicate stitch. Pattern is in Dee Hardwicke/ Jonna Helin's book Cultivate, Xmas prezzie from my brother! 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

I'm in love with these shawlettes! Knitted in La Bien Aimée cashmerino with tiny tassels 🩷 Pattern is available as a free download at the gorgeous Loop yarn shop in London... loopknitting.com/collections/... #knitsky #knitting

Breathtaking work. Any plans for this exhibition to tour in Europe? @brooklynbotanic.bsky.social @rbgkew.bsky.social #knitsky #womensart #flowerknitting

Fantastic ending to Baroness Kidron's speech in the House of Lords yesterday, which led to the government's defeat on AI & copyright. Speaking the UK's creators: "Their property, their labour, is worthy of your protection - because apart from anything else, it is not ours to give away."

For #showmeyourknits the first cardi I knitted for my daughter (age 3 mths), in Debbie Bliss baby cashmerino - so soft! I found the buttons in an old jar at my Mum's.

I visited the beautiful @wolverhalen.bsky.social store in the Netherlands on Sat. Gorgeous yarns, many dyed by the friendly owner - sadly those will be for another time as I was after these CaMaRose beauties. Snefnug (can't stop saying it!) apparently means snowflake in English. #knitting #knitsky

For #showmeyourknits this week, a very wearable cardi in DROPS Lima DK. Knitted seamlessly, top down it was a lovely knit too. Pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

For #showmeyourknits this week (or last week), I have a grey Fair Isle snood I made for my brother last Christmas. It's already had a lot of wear I'm delighted to say!

My first #showmeyourknits! A grey & mauve scarf I made last year in 'we are knitters The Cotton' yarn. Pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
