This might not be the most flattering picture, but I love knitting while laying down. Relaxed shoulders, support for elbows - perfect! #knitsky

I freehanded my Sophie shawl into a hood and accidentally made a medieval helmet #knitsky

Ww1 beanie (sleeping cap, helmet liner) count so far: 4 #knitsky #knittingyesterday

Found another use for my ww1 balaclava: Winter running beanie with a space for ponytail! Now I'm tempted to modify this pattern with a smaller hole for this particular purpose. Should I? #knitsky #knittingyesterday

Hyperfocused a bit. Crochet still hurts my arm in a way knitting does not, so I'll have to pause this shawl for a bit to recover. #knitsky #crochetsky

Finally! Biathlon season!

Next item from A Knitters Guide to World War 1 is this almond colored balaclava. Gonna test it out under the bike helmet soon! #knitsky #knittingyesterday

This weekend I started and finished this sleeping cap from the book Knitters Guide to World War 1. I'm very pleased. It worked up fast, was fun to knit. Will definitely knit more of these. #knitsky #knittingyesterday

#showmeyourknits FLOOF scarf for my kiddo #knitsky

Definitely the nerdiest thing I bought in a long time. I wanna knit so many of the patterns in this book! #knitsky #knittingyesterday #ww1

The ww1 vest is done!!! It's... too small, even blocked and with me wearing a binder. 😅 I might give it away to someone smallest than me. Pics as follow: the original picture and pattern, me in binder and then wearing it as a period vest with a skirt. #knitsky #knittingyesterday #ww1

Made some sailor slippers for a friend. Before and after felting. #knitsky #sailorslippers

Update on my ww1 vest for soldiers. It is starting to look like the picture, but it is also very... small? The pattern calls for fingering yarn but I went up a size. Still it looks like it's made for a child. I will finish it and then decide if I'm gonna frog. #knitsky #historicalpatterns

Update: I have tested Lina's sweater outside. It is warm, can deal with wind and even a light drizzle. Not so sure about trick-or-treaters though. #knitsky

This sweater is freehanded and put together will hope, sweat and tears. It's it perfect? No. It's it warm? Very. It is named Lina's sweater after my roleplaying character that wears a sweater just like this when the nights are cold. Yarn: Alafosslopi from Istex Pattern:None #knitsky

I mended this poster and bought a frame to it, and I'm so in love with it. It used to belong to my aunt's ex that now have passed. He was a huuuuge Lord of the rings fan and it feels so good to give it space in my apartment. #lotr

A trip to the countryside is a reason to dress in knits and vintage! And also chanterelles (trattkantareller in Swedish!) #knitsky

Next up in me doing some historical reenactment knitting: this ww1 vest, knitting pattern from The Red Cross. Just need to get a correctly colored yarn for it (oxford blue). #knitsky

It's blocked and ready! Knit and resist! Bring back the #Motståndsluva #knitsky #nopasaran #knittersagainstfaschism

I hyperfocused and now I'm almost done with my Motståndsluva! Left to do is blocking, weaving in ends and making a tassel. Pics will follow. #knitsky #knittersagainstfaschism #nopasaran #resistancebeanie #motståndsluva

Did I frog it twice? Yes. Once because I knitted the wording backwards, and once because I misspelled pasaran 🙃 But I hyperfocused and fixed it, trying to finish my Motståndsluva ASAP ❤️✊ #knitsky #knittersagainstfaschism #nopasaran!

Note to self: when knitting letters, remember you knit in the other direction than you read. 🤡 #knitsky #frogit

Let's bring back the Motståndsluva! According to the description this red winter beanie was knit by Norwegians during the German occupation during WW2, and thus got banned. Knit and resist racism and fascism ✊I can translate to English for those interested! #knitsky #knittersagainstfascism

I couldn't find my knitting needles in the chaos after moving, so I made a cosy autumn shawl instead. Yarn: Norsk Ullgarn Troll #crochet #knitsky

A very simple double folded cowl for my kiddo #knitsky #wearables

Breaking! Real live footage of a beaver! Five minutes from where I live. 😍

Doneee I have even tried it on an outing. The lining got fucked up, but for a first try with steeking, I'm ok with it. #knitsky

Almost there... 1/2 sleeve, steek and ribbing front left. This was also meant as a stash buster, but I just had go go buy more dark grey. 😅 #knitsky #strandedcolorwork #folksy

I would 100% watch a spinoff with these two idiots creating chaos. I love them so much. Loki: "You're not in love with me, are you?" Puck:"Not at the moment." These are the shape-shifting queer villains we all need. Spinoff please. #loki #puck #thesandman #Netflix

Left to do: Steeking, ribbing with button holes, sleeves. But it's starting to look like a cardigan! #knitsky

1. This is a bit of a re-post, but I realized that's it's about one year ago I started knitting. It was all because of my great aunt Karin that used to knit Icelandic style sweaters for everyone in the family. We called them Karin sweaters. And suddenly I wanted to knit my own. So I did. #knitsky

Calming my nerves 🇸🇪💥 2-2 #uefawomenscup #knit

Pretty stranded work is pretty 😍🧶 #knitsky

Wild knitting #outdoors #knitting #knitsky

This. This is a pancake. Everything else is a bleak copy of a copy.

I bought some retro/vintage knitting books and patterns. It was not until I put them all together I realized how much it really was... 😅 Will I knit all of these patterns? No. Are they pretty to look at? Yes. #knitsky #justknitting #knitpatterns #vintageknitting

I knitted myself a very straightforward raglan t-shirt in variegated cotton yarn for summer. Very pleased with how it turned out, but my kiddo might steal it before I can wear it. #knitsky #knit #justknitting

Ok, this is a very nice feeling actually, ngl. 🧛‍♀️🖤 #roleplaying #vampirethemasquerade

I made some very niched memes #yarn #knitsky

It's late May in Stockholm, and I still use mittens when going out. This spring has been 🥶🥶🥶 (Perk - I can wear my knits)

Still a bit crinkled, but done! Next sweater I will knit down up and try a different way of increases for the body. But I'm pretty pleased with the result! #knitsky #bergmansweater

One more sleeve to go 🙃 #bergmansweater #knitsky

Also. I couldn't resist bidding in this knit book 😄 #knitsky

#bergmansweater update! Now I'm starting the scary increases that is not in the pattern to get that vintage sweater feel. Wish me luck! #knitsky

Mountain cabin project: A Bergman sweater for myself. Yarn: Rauma Fivel #bergmansweater

It is doneee. Pics: Blocked, blocking, unblocked The aim was an everyday sweater that I could just throw on, and feels like I accomplished exactly that! #knitsky

It's not me in thw picture. It's my dear friend, doing outdoorsy work, wearing the #bergmansweater I knit for her. It randomly popped up in my insta feed and I got a little weepy. To make something for someone that they use is a very nice feeling. #knitsky

Heeeere's Jesseee 😍 #gilmoregirls

Next up sleeves! So far extremely pleased with the turnout! #knitsky

If you are the least interested in fantasy, read this about fantasy worlds without homophobia and what that does to the world build. Absolutely amazed! (But beware or spoilers for WoT) #WoTskies
