I recorded my very first knitting tutorial, y'all! It was so much fun, AND, I don't know if I'll ever do it again... because: wow! It's hard! But... #goals! If any of my #KnitSky friends want to knit a scrunchie, check it out. 🧶🎥 Corresponding blog post here: pepperknits.com/scrunchie

I'm feeling quite proud of myself for starting work on my Valentine's Day socks early enough that I might actually finish them before February 14! Go me! #WIPWednesday #SockKnitting 🧶🧦

My 2025 Knitter's Choice project for #ShowMeYourKnits is less about the knit and more about the context. I've been so grateful to be part of this knitting community here on Bluesky this year so I'm sharing the project I knitted for the "knit something blue" #SkyKAL last February. 💙🧶

Does anyone have any New Year's knitting traditions? 🧶

A very literal #FitCheck. I’m trying on my Raunioiset Sweater WIP to check the fit and length. It has a bit more positive ease than I planned, but overall I’m happy with it. Guess it’s back to the stockinette slog… 🧶 #KnitSky

This hippo lovey I knitted for my bestie's baby had an encounter with their pup! Usually, I gift knits with a "no mending included" policy, but my friend was so sad about the incident that I offered to repair it. The darning on the hand isn't perfect, but that's okay. Chicks dig scars. 😂 #KnitSky

These stitch markers came with my yarn advent calendar and, although I know they are supposed to be mid-century modern Christmas baubles, I’m pretending it’s the Starfleet logo and Mr. Pointy. 😂

I tried to knit the Neck Thingum without the pattern. It mostly worked out. Check out my latest blog post that is partially a review of Knit Picks Upcycle Alpaca Blend yarn and partially me poking fun at my hubby... 😂 🧶 #KnitSky #Yarn

I’m in that special kind of productive mood that inspires you to organize your adhesives. 😂

Here’s my White & Bright entry for #ShowMeYourKnits! 🧶 This is Midwinter, a Summer Lee design, and it does such a great job showing off the colors in this jewel-toned mini skein set from Global Backyard. They make me ridiculously happy!! 😍 #KnitSky #SockKnitting 🧦

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!! #knitsky #sockknitting

Meow!! #TongueOutTuesday

Liv wants to see cardigans this week for #ShowMeYourKnits! This is my first and favorite cardi - Mrs. Darcy by Mary Weaver - I knitted it way back in the day when she originally shared it in the Craftster forums. This piece is long-gone, but I think I should knit myself a new one... yes?!? 🧶

Another festive project for #ShowMeYourKnits! I started knitting these ornaments for an Advent garland about a decade ago with every intention of knitting all 24, but so far, all I have is six. And, TBH, I don't know where they ended up. 🤦‍♀️ Too bad! They are cute! #KnitSky #ChristmasDIY

I'm so in love with this shawl!!! 🎄

Here's my festive project for #ShowMeYourKnits! 🎄 It's a mystery poncho that I'm knitting with the mini skeins on my Advent Calendar. So far it's just a ton of seed stitch for the border... not my fave because it's SO SLOW to knit! 🐢🧶 But I'll get to the exciting parts of the pattern soon.

Happy Caturday!! My food-motivated orange boi is trying to eat his gingerbread house and I’m dying with giggles!!

Hi #ShowMeYourKnits! My advent calendar is ready to go! 🎄🧶 My mom stitched this in the 80s from a Creative Circle kit embroidery kit and it still brings me so much joy. This year, it's loaded with mini skeins from mspamelaoriginals.etsy.com's "A Mid-Century Modern Christmas" Advent.

Here is my nearly-finished hand-knit cashmere hair scrunchie. Because: why not? 😂 🧶

FYI #KnitSky: Knit Picks has a wild Black Friday deal today: 30% off all yarn and a free mosaic interchangeable needle set if you spend $100.

Last day of #ShowMeYourKnits indie week and I couldn't let it lapse without shouting out @verybusymonkey.bsky.social! Here are some of their amazing patterns I've knitted. I just finished Indivisible, and I'm currently working on my third pair of Little Leafy Socks. #SockKnitting 🧦 🧶

Who else "accidentally" bought a ton of yarn this morning? #BlackFriday #KnitSky 🧶

In theory, this baby sweater was an easy knit. In reality, everything that could go wrong *almost* did go wrong, but in the end it all worked out. This project was a nail-biter for sure. #Knitting #KnitSky 🧶

🧶 #knit #knitsky Good morning. This is your wake up call

Shouting out another fave indie dyer for #ShowMeYourKnits: Gina from Global Backyard. She has featured some of my knits in the shop, which tickles me pink. I also interviewed her for my blog last year. Check it out! 🧶 👩‍💻 #KnitSky #BlogSky

Shouting out one of my fave indie dyers for #ShowMeYourKnits this week. I bought this color (Earthling) from You Knit I Dye in 2020, and it might be my all-time favorite skein in my knitting career. I knitted these socks as a gift and I’m still a little salty I gave them away… 🧶😂

Me again. I have a question for the citizens of #CraftSky and maybe #TeacherSky: the collage was a little thick and I don't think the 3mm lamination sleeve fully sealed on one of the edges. Can I run it back through the machine? Or would that be bad? 😬🧯

Here's a little impromptu art project I just made from random stuff I found while cleaning my desk... I kind of like it. I laminated it and it's going to a mat to paint my nails on to protect the surface of said desk. 💅

This Felici colorway is called Secret Garden and think I totally nailed the photo, right?! I gifted these socks to someone who has been super supportive of me lately and she absolutely loves them, which truly warms my heart. 🥰 #SockKnitting #KnitSky

I just did a stupid thing involving spray adhesive and an unventilated room... On the bright side, now I get to wear all my winter knits indoors to stay warm while I air everything out! 🥶

I first took this beanie to Bluesky about a year ago and y’all loved it, and it’s finally a real (and free) pattern on my new blog, Stitch + Scrap! Welcome the Daily Beanie 🥰🧶 stitchandscrap.isknit.com #knitsky #shareyourknits #knittersofbluesky #knittingpattern #knithat #freeknittingpattern

This is the yoke of a sweater I'm working on and I've got to say that I am completely obsessed with this technique of doing your provisional cast on over a stitch saver cord. Check out Laura Nelkin's #KnitTip tutorial: www.youtube.com/watch?v=olAZ...

Here's a little knitting ASMR moment for y'all. 🧶 #KnitSky

OK, #mathart is totally my new favorite thing to gawk at!!

I love knitting gifts for people... but I struggle to distribute them in a timely manner. This little pile of knits just keeps growing while I avoid the post office... I swear: right after I hit post on this, I'm gonna get them all in mailers and print the shipping labels. Let's go! #KnitSky 🧶🎁

@livrunsfast.bsky.social wants to see WIPs this week for #ShowMeYourKnits! The red sock is my current favorite WIP, and the black cowl is my newest (cast on this morning). I love the contrast between the fancy lace and the no-nonsense rib. I've got all moods covered.

Behold: 6,540 yards of pure FOMO. Every Knit Picks Felici colorway is limited edition and they sell out wicked fast, so if you love it, you’ve got one shot to snag it. I regret nothing. 🧶 #Yarn #KnitSky

Yes, it is intentional that my stitch markers match my cats.

Silverplait is my favorite pattern for cabled socks! 😍 It's easy to do the side cables without a needle and the bigger cable crosses where you are switching your dpns anyway. And all the math lines up nicely so you don't need to look at the pattern once you get in the groove. #ShowMeYourKnits

HALP! My husband wants me to knit him a simple cowl to wear during winter hikes that he can pull up over his mouth and nose to protect from the wind, but easily pull back down if he gets hot. "Navy Blue" is the only direction he gave me. Any reccs for a pattern or a good soft yarn choice? #KnitSky

🧶♥️🧶♥️🧶 #knit #knitsky

I desperately wish I had finished knitting my Star Trek socks in time to wear with my Halloween costume! 😭😭😭 #TrekSky #KnitSky

Finished these Halloween socks just under the wire! The mismatched stripes make me weirdly happy. Anyone else love a little spooky chaos in their knitting? 🎃 #KnitSky

I rescued this pillowcase from the rag bin at my mom's house. 😢 She stitched it many years ago, but it's completely tattered now. I'd love to repurpose the embroidered part. Any ideas? cc: #SewSky #QuiltSky #StitchSky 🧵🪡

OMG. I have always thought this shawl pin was weird because the cat doesn't have arms. I almost never wear it for that reason. I took it out this afternoon and can now see the arms clear as day! He has them up in the air like he's excited! It's cute! How on earth did I miss this all these years??

Well, I tried preserving the red cuff from that first sock and used a different body yarn, but I didn’t realize it would have that lavender color in it. Don’t like this combo either. Another sock to the frog pond! 🧶🐸

Behold my best knitting horror story! I still can't believe I set in the sleeves *and* seamed them up without ever noticing that they were wildly different lengths!! 😭 #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

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 🧶🧦
