Looking for ideas for something to knit for a baby girl. I don't have time for a blanket, but I'd like to do something a little more involved than booties. Ideas?

My sock drawer is full so I had to move some pairs into secondary storage. 😟 I intentionally put my x-mas socks in there so I will be forced to revisit it & maybe rotate the socks that have been banished to the archive. Is this relatable? What do others do with excess well-worn socks? #KnitSky 🧶🧦

Well, these socks weren't long for this world... I thought the poppy red would play nice with the multicolor yarn, but it just wasn’t vibing. I frogged it at just an inch in! Usually, I’m kind of a late frogger, but this time I decided to trust my gut. #KnittingProblems #SockKnitting 🧶🧦

Here's a spooky WIP for #ShowMeYourKnits! I bought this Halloween-themed self-striping sock yarn from Hobbii last October at a great discount. The colors are fun, but the yarn itself is only so-so. I need to finish these up quick so I can wear them for Trick or Treating! 🎃🧶

Totes forgot to post this pic of my latest knit!! I love how it turned out!! 🧶 #KnitSky Pattern: Outline Tee by Jessie Maed Designs Yarn: Knit Picks Stroll in Paisley Heather

Woo!

Happy #SOCKTOBER knitters 🧦🧶! Surely everyone guessed this week’s theme!? #ShowMeYourKnits week 62: show me your SOCKS! In honour of the occasion, I am ignoring all other socks in progress & starting a fancy pair of colourwork/ cable socks for myself 💅! Seward Socks by Caitlin Hunter in Exmoor Sock

Happy Socktober #ShowMeYourKnits pals! Here’s a peek into my sock drawer… in a far more organized state than usual… 😂 🧶🧦

So, I have kitchener memorized because I've done it hundreds of times, but I'm wondering if anyone knows a cute rhyme or anything to go with it that can help beginners? 🧦 #KnittingHelp #SockKnitting

A quote for #ShowMeYourKnits Care Week: "We are hungry for things that have touched human hands." Sometimes I knit for myself. Sometimes for someone I love. Sometimes I donate my knits to someone I’ll never meet. Handmade things carry the kind of love and care we all need as humans. 🧶❤️🧵

Who else gets a total thrill out of inserting afterthought heels? #KnitSky #SockKnitting 🧶🧦✂️ (Sound On!🤘😝)

Hello, #ShowMeYourKnits! Just in case this photo isn't giving off enough Autumn vibes, I'll add the detail that the yarn colorway is Pumpkin. 🎃🧶 Athena and I are both ready for sweater weather! cc: #KnitSky and #DollSky

What?! Just realized I have a $29.74 USD credit on Etsy! What should I buy? 🤔 🛒

Just a girl and her Griff Squish! #WestminsterUniversity #CollegeSwag

My photos of this scarf have been pinned so many times that it’s probably the most famous project I’ve ever shared in the 20 year history of my blog. I love that something I made years ago still inspires knitters today. #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 ❤️

I had some fun with filters on this pic of my Indivisible Sock leg... why shouldn’t knitting pics get a glow-up too? I love the pop on the little red heart progress marker (my current fave piece of knitting bling). Every WIP needs its accessories, right? #SockKnitting #KnitSky 🧶

This may be premature, but it feels Fall-like in New England and I’m officially declaring today the start of handknit sock season! #SockKnitting 🧶🧦

I finally finished the front of my Outline Tee, now I'm slogging through the back. I know some folks love zoning out on stockinette, but TBH, it drives me bananas. Anyone else get bored with the endless knit, knit, knit? 🥱💤 #ShowMeYourKnits

Knitters were quick to make a few corrections. 🧶 #knitting #fiberarts #physics youtube.com/watch?v=iTLv...

If you're wondering why you haven't seen my sheep socks WIP pop up in my feed recently, it's because they've been banished to the naughty pile and are awaiting execution. 🐸 🧶 I'll give you one guess as to what went wrong... 🤦‍♀️ #KnittingProblems

Having my annual Labor Slay marathon! It’s very difficult to knit and watch Hush at the same time. Throw in documenting the act in Bluesky and failing at both!

My cat’s General Martok impression…. 😂 #DS9 #TrekSky

I don’t usually share aff links here, but I just wrote a blog post about how to stop “rowing out” & mentioned Ann Budd’s amazing Knit Like a Master class on Craftsy... then I realized it’s on sale for $5 today... so I had to share! This one really leveled up my skills. #KnitSky tidd.ly/3I0XHM7

This is the first and only long-sleeve sweater I have ever knit... back in 2007. I remember struggling with it and then not loving the way it fit at the end. I think it scared me off from ever trying again. Maybe I'll rethink that? In retrospect, it's pretty cute! #ShowMeYourKnits

Happy baby week, #ShowMeYourKnits crew! 👶🧶 Blue Steps is my favorite pattern for baby booties. I usually knit them with self-striping yarn, but they also look sweet in a solid. I always use the Re-Re-Written version of the pattern in hellahelen's Ravelry notes from 2009: bit.ly/3Jt2rux

TMW you realize you made pretty much everything you are wearing! 💖 #SlowFashion #Handmade

My first sock game is strong. My second sock game? … not so much. #KnitSky #2ndSockKAL #SockKnitting 🧦🧶

I don't usually let my handknit socks pile up like this, but it's been one of those summers... now I'm overwhelmed by how many there are, so they are all getting machine-washed and dried. May the odds be ever in your favor, little ones! 🧦🧺 #SockKnitting #SlowFashion

A little airplane knitting! 🧶✈️

Here's another one of my favorite patterns for using up sock yarn scraps: Little Boxes Socks by Summer Lee! #ShowMeYourKnits #KnitSky #Stashbusting 🧶 🔗 www.summerleedesignco.com/patterns/p/t...

Star Trek Discovery and the Outline Tee have taken over my life this week. No need to stage an intervention… I’m happy. 🖖 🧶 #KnitSky

Hi #ShowMeYourKnits! Here is my go-to scrappy project for using up leftover sock yarn: knitted scrunchies! Here, I gifted the socks and the scrunchie to one of my besties so she could sport this beautiful yarn from head to toe. 👧🧶

This WIP has caused me a bit of distress today... accidentally yanked the needle out when pulling it out of the bag. But I've recovered all the stitches and I'm back on track! #WIPWednesday #KnittingProblems 🧶

Ugh... shouldn't have made this comment about how I was looking forward to dropping the stitches... I just accidentally pulled my needle out of the project and dropped like 20 of them before I could stop myself! 😭

New project! This will be an Outline Tee, inspired by the one @klremus.bsky.social shared a few weeks ago for the summer tops prompt on #ShowMeYourKnits. There's a LOT of stockinette stitch ahead of me, but I can't wait to see it come to life!

I've been in a bit of a creative rut lately, so I busted out a tiny crochet hook and some neon sock yarn to make this tiny little monster. HE'S SOOOO CUTE! The burst of color and overall silliness of the whole endeavor was just what I needed to get my mojo back! #Amigurumi #CrochetSky

Here is an old, but a favorite, lace sampler shawl for #ShowMeYourKnits, plus an adorable action shot of the shawl on the blocking board with my late kitty Roxy snuggled up perfectly in the center motif! 💓🐾 🧶 The pattern is called Skywalker by Laura Nelkin.

This sock tube seemed like the right length when I stopped to knit the toe, but now that I'm looking at the photo, I realize it's quite short! Probably for the best... at least I know I'll have time to knit a matching one by Halloween! #KnittingProblems #WIPwednesday

So, I am working with a nutritionist to eat healthier and maybe lose a little weight. I'm so proud of the changes I've made, but the weight loss is slow. Anyway, I casted on this sweater last week and now I'm second-guessing what size I should make it: me-now or maybe-me-soon? 🥦 😧🧶 #KnittingProblems

I finally got around to writing a blog post about this project. A bit meh about the pattern, but it includes an enthusiastic ode to stitch saver cord! pepperknits.com/2025/07/cami...

Happy Birthday, #ShowMeYourKnits!! Thank you so much for making this a thing @livrunsfast.bsky.social ❤️🧶❤️ Since it's knitter's choice, I'm posting my favorite recent project: matching Professor Meow Sweaters for me and my American Girl Doll! #KnitSky #DollSky

Confession: this yarn really isn't my style at all, but I *had* to buy it because Knit Picks went ahead and named it "Sunnydale." 🧛🧶 Who can relate?? 😂 #KnitSky #Yarn #BTVS

A pretty summer top for #ShowMeYourKnits! This is Camisole No. 10 by My Favourite Things, and the yarn is Queensland Collection Eco Twist, which is a rayon/cotton/linen blend.

💙 One last blue project for #ShowMeYourKnits! This is one of my favorite knitted tees - it's called the Hope Tee by Aire Nitsotolis & it's knitted up in Shine Sport by Knit Picks. 🧶 It's perfect for summer!

Just a happy photo of some happy socks to get you through your Friday! 🧦😍🧶 #Knitting #HandknitSocks #HedgehogFibres

My latest FO is perfect for #ShowMeYourKnits blue week! 💙 📄Pattern: Monkey Socks by Cookie A in @knitty.com 🧶Yarn: @tealtorchknits.bsky.social in Calm Before the Storm #SockKnitting

I usually knit with small diameter needles but I’d like to knit a chunky project that that calls for US 15 and 17 needles. What is everyone’s favorite brand for big needles? I tend to prefer wood needles and love a pointy tip, but open to all suggestions! #KnitSky

This sock WIP is in an interesting stage of completion. Once I decide who I'll gift them to, I just need to snip into them at the appropriate foot length and knit an afterthought heel. I'll pop a vid in the comments - it's kind of cool - looks like a bullseye. #ShowMeYourKnits #SockKnitting 🧶

Happy WIP week, #ShowMeYourKnits friends! Here are two socks I have on the needles. The sheep sock is a "must concentrate" WIP, and the blue sock is one I can zone out with, because I've knitted this pattern a zillion times (Monkey, by Cookie A). #OperationSockDrawer #SockKnitting 🧶 🧦 ❤️

I’m planning out my instagram grid and noticing a trend in my WIPs… 😂 🧦 #knitsocks #knitsky In related news, I’m *so* over instagram… bsky is where it’s at!! Now, off to knit some soles…🧶
