Today we finished a group knitting project many years in the making. One of many such blankets made for our kids going off to college. Friends and family make squares. 🧶

I got to ring the fish doorbell today!!!! And I got a screenshot of my fishie!

I love it when my yarn matches my needles. This is another hat to donate in December. 🧶

Finished my Tunisian crochet of the @dyemadyarns.bsky.social peacocking yarn. I did one ball with TSS and one with TKS so I have both textures. I’m pleased I figured out the TKS and it looks just like knitting. I like learning new things. 🧶

We got this orchid from Buy Nothing years ago. My 13 year old has been taking care of it. And we are delighted to have multiple blooms!

We had a proper tea to celebrate my mum’s birthday.

Doing more Tunisian crochet with my beloved @dyemadyarns.bsky.social yarn. This is Peacocking. I decided to switch stitches to Tunisian knit as I added the second ball. I’m visiting my mum and she agreed that is a good idea. 🧶

Day 96 Hats 74-100 🧶 Finally forced myself to sew in some ends.

Day 71 Hats 45-73 29 hats added to the pile. In part because I offered my kids 50c a piece to sew in the ends. 🧶

Well… on the bright side I clearly like these colors since my skirt and my needles match the yarn. And I like the pattern enough to do it again. Bummer on mis-reading the pattern and having to frog it back to the start. 🧶

Day 50 Hats 35-44 🧶 #Fiberuary is Color Crush so here are a bunch of different colored hats. And they are mostly made out of scraps for #ScrapAlong2026

#ScrapAlong2026 I love it when two balls of yarn from different projects just match up. A hat to donate out of unknown yarn. 🧶

#Fiberuary today is project bags. I have literally had nightmares about being out and about and not having knitting with me. So one of these leaves the house with me every time. 🧶

#ScrapAlong2026 A pair of hats made from some gifted scrap yarn. They don’t count as completed hats until the ends get sewn in and I hate that part so they are going into the pile… 🧶

#Fiberuary goal for today is matching. I made this MTI for my bestie and I have enough yarn left to make one for myself! 🧶 @braz.coach

#Fiberuary today was cozy. And this hat is double stranded and will hopefully keep someone cozy next winter. 🧶

#ScrapAlong2026 Another melt the ice hat done. Red yarn was hard to find and then someone gifted me a box of scraps including some red. Perfect timing. 🧶

Day 46 Hat 34 #ScrapAlong2026 I have some unfinished hats that need to get to finished to get me back on track. 🧶

Happy #Fiberuary 🧶 For today it was love. And I fell in love with Tunisian crochet at @dyemadyarns.bsky.social Suncatcher so I am doing it again with Peacocking.

Another red hat 🧶

#FiberuaryChallenge 🧶 I didn’t feel well today so I didn’t do any fiber arts. Highly unusual for me. I did spend a lot of time thinking about the scrap yarn challenge coming up and what to knit during the Olympics. I do like to try to finish something between opening and closing ceremonies.

#fiberuarychallenge My mood today was just barely up for some basic hat knitting.

#FiberuaryChallenge Day 1: I knit almost every day, I recently learned Tunisian crochet, I find c2c crochet to be particularly relaxing and I hope to figure out embroidery. Quilting is just beyond me. Day 2: someone gave me this kidsilk creation and I started it today. 🧶

Day 31 Hats 25-33 🧶 Littlest kiddo helped with the sewing in of ends on 6 hats today.

First Melt the ICE hat done. 🧶

Mommy and her baby.. 😊

Making the newly popular red hat of protest as I get ready for a snowy weekend/week. I have offered to help my friends over FaceTime if they want to make one and run into trouble. Knitting has long been a piece of protesting. 🧶

"My husband complains about the cold," the man said. "Can you teach me a spell to keep him warm?" "I can teach you to bind hair into a net to catch heat," the wizard said, "using arcane counting and a pair of fine wands." After a while, the man said "Isn't this knitting?" "This, too, it's magic."

One more baby gift. We have 6 days until his arrival. This was a kit and was cotton which was hard on my hands but it sure is cute. 🧶

This was outside my comfort zone but the mommy to be asked me to make them and so I did. 🧶

I finished the @dyemadyarns.bsky.social Chubby Trevor Suncatcher cowl using Tunisian crochet. It was so delightful to make and it feels like an added bonus that I now have a beautiful cowl to wear. 🧶

Baby sleeve 2 is still somehow not done. But look how nicely the needles match the yarn! 🧶

Second verse, same as the first… A friend gave me some yarn from his mom. And I turned that yarn into a hat for his soon to be born baby. I love when I can make a link like that. 🧶

My youngest asked for yarn to make a baby hat for a teacher. And then asked for some help. So together we got this done. 🧶

At least with baby sweaters sleeve island isn’t so bad. But this baby is arriving by the end of the month and mama doesn’t live close to me. 🧶

Day 1 Hat 24 23 missing completed hats from 2025 were found after the donation deadline giving me a head start on 2026 hats 🧶

Have just finished the goose mittens. Complete with French knot eyes. 🧶

Decided to knit for myself today. Brown is my favorite color and I am enjoying all the brown tones. Also nice simple knitting to ease the brain. 🧶

The knitting on both mitt has been completed but it was too dark to sew in black yarn ends so tomorrow will be the day they become completely finished. The recipient is already delighted. 🧶

I am getting close to the end of mitt 2! 🧶

When one of your hard to buy for kids says they want the goose mittens then you try to make them the goose mittens before the festival of greed begins. 🧶

After a discussion with the recipient the former gloves are now fingerless mitts and out of time out after a year. Mitt 2 is suddenly up to the thumb gusset within hours of the decision to skip fingers.

289 hats to donate because I somehow lost the other 25 hats I finished during the year. Brings me to 2902 donated overall but still frustrating to have misplaced a pile of hats!! 🧶

Finished making the annual ornaments for the tree. Each person has their own yarn color and each year I knit something out of the special yarn. Candles this year. 🧶

Day 314. And today I finished up a few hats including hat 314. That is good enough for this year. I have other holiday knitting to do. 🧶

Day 301 Hats 288-294 🧶 I have virtual training for the next two days. Maybe I can catch up?
