I'm swatching for a new project that's gonna be an epic game of yarn chicken. But, so says Adama: sometimes you've gotta roll a hard six. 🧶 🎲 #ShowMeYourKnits WIP week!

Here's what's on my needles... and I'm feeling a bit meh about it. The solid yellow isn't an exact match to the stripes. I thought it was close enough, but it bugs me every time I look at it. What do you think? Frog or forge ahead? 🐸 vs. 🧦 #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

Here's my latest blog post, featuring the Radiating Star Blanket I knitted for my pal. This was one of those miracle projects where I just happened to have a blanket quantity of yarn in my stash that was the exact color of the nursery! #fate #knitsky 🧶

In officially in the boring stretch of this top.... knit, knit, knit! I live for the 6-stitch center motif, where every other row I get to decrease and YO for a brief moment. 🧶 P.S. Sorry to rain on the stockinette parade starting today over in #ShowMeYourKnits! 😂 Love you all!

I don't always crochet, but when I do, I get about a quarter of the way into the project and then lose steam. I'm about to hit that wall with this one. Need encouragement, please! #CrochetSky #WIPWednesday🧶

Loving the #ShowMeYourKnits prompt this week, calling for pics of us wearing our knits, because it gives me a chance to humble-brag about my hidden talent for photographing myself modeling my socks... which is no small feat! (Or shall I say feet?! lol!) 🧦🧶

More purple for Liv! #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

Sometimes my friends call me Purple Hayes... here is a lineup of some of the MANY purple socks in my collection! #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶🧦💜

Athena does a fit check for her new sweater and Octavia does a stress test on the stitch holder cord. #KnittingWithCats 🧶 😽

This photo has been stranded in my "to share" queue for far too long. I keep bumping it in order to share newer pics, but it deserves its day in the sun. Shine, socks! Shine! 🌞 #Knitsky 🧶

A purple WIP for #ShowMeYourKnits! Pictured here with my new must-have knitting notion… my eyes are getting old! 😬🧶

I don't knit a lot of cowls - I'm more of a scarf-wearer - but this was a fun one I made several years ago when I was first learning two-color brioche. #ShowMeYourKnits #FOFriday

I’m knitting these socks in a 6x2 broken rib. The "broken" bit adds texture and the 6-inch wide segment shows the tonal contrast in this yarn from one of my favorite indie dyers, Global Backyard. Love it! 🧶 #WIPWednesday #IndieDyer

Sharing my latest blog post. I'll admit, I got a little lazy with this one... my muse wasn't with me, but I couldn't just *not* share these beautiful socks! 🧶🧦 #KnitSky #Blogger

So I decided to try out a tip doing the rounds on Instagram for even ribbing (k1, p1 tbl), and bugger I down dead, it works. #knitting #knitsky #ShowMeYourKnits

This cowl started life as a hat without a gauge swatch (because who swatches for a hat!?) ... I was well into the project when I realized it never fit a human head, but would easily pull straight over one. So a cowl was born. Done and done! #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

I keep forgetting to post my cables for #ShowMeYourKnits! This project is one of my faves! I like it because the little cables are easy to cross without a needle and the large cable spans the break between the dpns, so no cable needle required! 🧶

Woo! Bsky is back online! Just in time for squishy mail from @boldcoastgirl.bsky.social! Because everyone needs some sparkle yarn in their stash…. 🧶✨ #KnitSky

I’m starting a new project!!

I just love the look of freshly-blocked lace, don't you? 🥰 #SockKnitting 🧦🧶

Here's a peek into my primary sock drawer and one of my overflow boxes to finish off #ShowMeYourKnits sock week! 🧶 🧦

For #ShowMeYourKnits sock week... here is how I wrap up handknit socks for gift-giving. 🎁🧶 What do you think? Too extra? Or just extra enough?

Woo! My favorite sock designer is having a sale all month! Just in time for #ShowMeYourKnits sock week!🧶🧦

I know I’m late to the party, but I just discovered Bridgerton, and I'm completely obsessed. These socks are my binge-watching companion: it's very polite knitting and the yarn has silk in it, so they feel appropriately fancy. I just know I'll be the envy of the ton. 🧶 🧦 #KnitSky

It's colorwork week on #ShowMeYourKnits so I thought I'd share my Winterfell Socks plus the interview I did with the designer, KnittyMelissa, and her pro tips for knitting stranded colorwork socks. 🧶🧦 pepperknits.com/knittymelissa

Not only did this double-knit hem take forever to knit, it also ate up a whole ball of yarn! Glad to have this part of the project behind me. The rest of the top should be a relatively easy knit. 😉 🧶

Speaking of imperfections that no one will ever see on Zoom... I used two different dye lots and it created a subtle stripe in the middle of the sweater. #KnittingFail 🧶

I hereby interrupt your #KnitSky scroll to present the perfect WFH garment: The beautiful yoke detail will impress everyone on Zoom, and no one will ever see the hem I had to reknit twice and still don’t totally love. 😉 🧶

I can’t let #ShowMeYourKnits green week pass without showing off my Sheldon! 🐢🧶

I finished my Radiating Star Blanket! It's mint green, but photographs as kind of an aqua color. But I'm calling it Green for #ShowMeYourKnits?🧶 This was a fairly quick knit, given its size. Of course, I forgot to measure it before gifting, but it's probably around 46'' in diameter. Not bad!

Don’t ask me why I stopped to take a WIP pic when I was like 10 rows shy of finishing…? For me, photographing my knits is just as enjoyable as knitting them! Guess I couldn’t let the photo opp pass me by. 🧶📸

Here's a little inspiration for @livrunsfast.bsky.social! This scarf has been on my needles since 2016 and I honestly don't think I'll ever cast off! I love picking out motifs of all my favorite things. #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

I just got this circular baby blanket all situated on the blocking mats when I suddenly realized it's #PiDay! I'm feeling some strong knitting nerd energy today! 🧶

Ooof! Finding the right shade of yellow to coordinate with the stripes in this ball of Felicini was quite the chore! It's not a perfect match, but I think it's close enough to get the job done. #WIPWednesday #KnitSky 🧶🧦

Relatable.

I don't always drop $50 on a project bag, but when I do, it has nerdy cats on it! 🐱🧶 With or without cats, I'm always happy to support a small business, and I didn't have a knitting bag big enough to hold my Radiating Star Blanket... so: purchase justified! ✔️ 🛒 www.tanneicasey.com

I'm knitting a summer top, and I hope this double-knit hem looks good because it's taking **forever** to knit. I'm 26 rows in and have only produced about 1.5'' of fabric. 😭 ...based on my mani, you can deduce that I took this pic last month. Unfortunately, I still haven't made much more of a dent.🧶

This week's #ShowMeYourKnits prompt really resonates. I live by a set of 5 core values and "Create Beautiful Things" is one of them! This lace shawl, designed by @verybusymonkey.bsky.social, is one of my favorite beautiful creations. 🧶❤️

I'm obsessed with my new bee sock blockers by mlynjedrow.etsy.com 🐝🧦 I'm not big on bugs, but the bee is a fun nod to my home state of Utah. It's a symbol of industriousness and cooperation that has always resonated with me. #KnitSky #SockKnitting 🧶

Today #ShowMeYourKnits is a reminder that we need to make beautiful things, protect joy, support each other, even (especially) when things are bad. #knitting is resistance, care, sanity & seeing it on display weekly lifts my heart. Show me your LACE this week, you amazing, talented people ❤️ 🧶

I tossed a lifeline above the heel flap on this sock, just in case I experienced pooling, but we're in the clear! Yay! Have I mentioned lately how much I love this yarn? 🧶 😍 #SockKnitting

I added a split hem to the sweater I just finished, and the result is a bit meh. I could live with the shape, but I can't live with this messy stitchwork of mine. Gonna frog and re-knit a regular hem instead. Sucks, but I know I'll be happier in the end. 🐸🧶 #KnittingProblems

I used to rank in the top 5 search results for the query "crochet banana slug" and I just realized that I've dropped to page two! 😭🐌 This bothers me more than it really should...

I don’t even want to admit how many knitting projects I have going right now… 😬 I'm sure that Ravelry is quietly judging me. But these beauties are almost done, so I can cross one WIP off the list soon. 🧶 #KnitSky

My attempt to knit Octavia's twin... 😽 🧶 #ShowMeYourKnits

New cast on! #KnitSky

Same socks, two vibes. I'm liking them both, but I think the drama of the deep blue background takes the cake. Plus... those sock blockers! 😍 #SockKnitting 🧶

I went to the New England Farm + Fiber Festival in Boston last weekend and today I'm logging the yarn I bought in my Ravelry stash. Clearly, I was in a pink mood... and it wasn't even Wednesday! 🤣 Kind of works for #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

I call this phenomenon "Felici FOMO."™️Whereby, if you like a colorway, you must buy it immediately because it will disappear shortly. Such a brilliant sales tactic on KP's part! 😂

Happy Valentine's Day, #KnitSky! I just love how my S.W.A.K. socks turned out... and I finished them just in time. 💕🧶 Thanks for the perfect #ShowMeYourKnits prompt, Liv!
