Is there a tag for spinning? #knitsky

Made myself wait a day to open my #Bigupbox so I could enjoy it. It's gorgeous, with colors that will go perfectly with either included shawl pattern. So glad I subscribed! @tianconnaughton.bsky.social @lonniebunnys.bsky.social @wildstarfibers.bsky.social @knotbadbritt.com

I feel like I'm finally able to spin a consistent single in cotton with long draw. Still a lot slower than spinning wool, but I'm not racing. #knitsky #spinsky #knitting

Second attempt at Baker's Hat. Hubby said he wanted it slouching and my first one was an overachiever at slouching. #knitsky #knitting #redhat

Finished @nancybates.bsky.social's #SaguaroBeanie with a kit from Birdhouse Yarns in Tucson. My tension in stranded colorwork #knitsky #knitting #strandedcolorwork

The hat I made my husband is too big. Anyone know of some good charity knits for donations? #knitting #knitsky

I'm very happy to learn that my sister loves the wool socks I knit her. She wears them year round in her little town near the North Sea with is bitter winds and temperatures. This means I have free rein to knit more! Feel free to add your fav patterns in the comments #knitsky #knitting #socks

I just backed Big Up Box (yarn subscription) on @kickstarter.com A quarterly yarn subscription box highlighting underrepresented groups in knitting, organized by @tianconnaughton.bsky.social. Should be fire, only open for a short time. www.kickstarter.com/projects/big... #knitsky #knitting

Really happy with how this scarf turned out for my 2-year old niece. Following AromyX's mods from the free Fox Scarf by Sotu Dolk and Ossi Laine on Rav. #knitsky #knitting #FoxScarf #ToddlerKnits @roadtripsockyarn.bsky.social @westwool.bsky.social

Ok, I need some help. My 3 year old niece was wearing this incredible handknit cardigan she got from a day care child who outgrew it. I desperately want the pattern but can't find it in Rav. Anyone have a lead on where I could get the pattern? #knitsky #knitting #beesweater #knittinghelp

I've decided to use up leftover yarn by knitting @mochimochiland.bsky.social dinosaurs. Self-striping socks for the three nieces, accompanied by Ptara the Ptiny Pterodactyl from @knitrino.bsky.social, Tori the Tiny Triceratops, and Amy the Apatasaurus. #knitsky #knitting #mochimochiland

Pleasant time working on the Batsy hat from @knitrino.bsky.social at my local community center. Pink and purple yarn from Malabrigo, custom project bag from @plankandstella.bsky.social. Colors on request from 6 year old niece. #knitsky #knitting #knitrino #BatsyHat

This shawl (@shanalinesdesigns.bsky.social's pattern #L'dorVaDor) is the first time I've actually knitted anything with my handspun! The pattern was meditative, with enough shaping and texture to keep me engaged. A glorious 50% camel / 50% silk (Abstract Fiber) I spun to a light 2-ply fingering.

Test knit for @shanalinesdesigns.bsky.social. #LdorVdorShawl will be released this fall. Handspun from Abstract Fiber, 50% camel / 50% silk in a 2-ply light fingering in Clover. Hanging out with @jigsaw102766.bsky.social at his book vending event at Flagstaff Barnes & Noble.

The components of the ultimate pink unicorn yarn for the niece - unlocked. On sale from Tempe Yarn for LYS #knitsky #spinning #artyarn

The prickly pear is stunning this time of year.

@stitch-theory.bsky.social thank you so much for organizing this MAL! I absolutely love your pattern and plan on making it a regular pattern for special skeins. I can't wait to see the rest of your patterns.

I did the garter stitch baby kimono by Joji Locatelli for my niece #babyknits #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting

Nicki keeps an eye out for who might be coming home.

Hi Everyone Gwyn and I had a great time today at the Diamondbacks -Athletics Game in Mesa. We had excellent seats and the weather was perfect. It was a good game and the Hot Dogs were good.

I'm loving how Leaf Voter Suppression Behind from @lolabeanyarnco.com is knitting up in the Unfree pattern from @stitch-theory.bsky.social. It's giving rusty chain vibes and is the perfect use of this special yarn. The stitch market is from @yarnbaby.bsky.social's 2024 advent. #knitsky #Unfree

I'm not much of a heart knitter (skeletons are my love language), so I thought I would boost an indie designer @plankandstella.bsky.social. This pattern is in my library waiting to find the right person to make it for. 🧶 #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting ravel.me/every-day-is...

Almost missed #showmeyourknits of the week for striping. Two projects finished in December and January. #illusionknitting @yarnbaby.bsky.social #BiggerThanLifeKnits #knitsky #knitting #blackdesigners

I just got an email from NASA. All pronouns (she/her, they/them etc) will be automatically removed from any video conferencing, and email signatures have to follow a template that does not include pronouns. It also requires compliance with official government names. 🤬

All this #knitting made me start to reread Paladin's Grace by T. Kingfisher. How can you not love a burly bearded ex-berzeker who handknits pink socks on DPNs for his comrades-in-arms?

Uninstalled X and IG. Stopped using FB years ago. Being more thoughtful about what companies I spend my money with, and where I spend my time.

I love a LYS with a canine greeter. Joyfully Stranded in Galveston, Texas has become an annual pilgrimage when I'm in town for a meeting. I really needed the mid-week snoot boop from Sugar. Of course, gorgeous indie dyed yarns and floof as well. 🧶#knitting #lys
