I was surprised how many shishito peppers I had when I picked them this morning! And a few jalapeños, too. Lots of little datil peppers coming along, too. Keeping everything watered during this heat.

#ShowMeYourKnits is a Blue theme this week to celebrate 100 weeks of this tag and knitting community that has grown around it! Well done, @livrunsfast.bsky.social, for pulling us together! 💙 Here is a Slumber Shawl (design by Stephen West), knit is a variety of Mal Rios yarns.

Quite a lot of Canada Geese in parking lots and streets these days. This morning, this large group was walking toward a pond. All the spring babies have grown up!

Meals on Wheels for my mom - potato and onion pierogi with sautéed onions. Two and some onions in each container - to stash in her freezer.

#ShowMeYourKnits is travel knits, game-watching, coffee-having projects. Perfect for Knit in Public Day! Since I finished my cashmere Musselburgh, I’ve been working on my Anthology Throw. My Urchin Musselburgh is in my purse - doc appts and car repair knitting. Cast on a DK Musselburgh today.

Finished knitting a Musselburgh Hat (designer @ysoldaknits.bsky.social). Purple yarn is cashmere/silk Miss Babs Sojourn, 2018 Rhinebeck colorway. The charcoal yarn is BFL/silk dyed by me. Should have knit about 2 more rows of charcoal. Unsurprisingly, the cashmere stretched a bit more than the BFL.

#ShowMeYourKnits is STRIPES this week. i don’t always enjoy carrying yarns for knitting stripes but self-striping yarn is fun to knit! Musselburgh Hat with yarn from @makerwool.bsky.social All the Angles shawl Habitation Throw baby blanket Enjoying seeing everyones projects!

Made another Dip3b bag. This one uses some of my mom’s handspun yarn. This will be a gift for her cousin who is also a knitter. I had planned to give one of the bags I already made to her for her birthday but I know she will like this handspun one. 🧶

@buckeyemama.bsky.social Terri, was that a ’Hello’ to you from Kenny on Fox8 this morning when he was highlighting the Downtown Cleveland events?

Happy to be making some progress on my Musselburgh Hat (designer: @ysoldaknits.bsky.social). Charcoal yarn is BFL/silk dyed by me. Purple yarn is Miss Babs Sojourn (cashmere/silk).

Deep dive for yellow week for #ShowMeYourKnits. Not a color I normally use but the very *first* thing I made when I learn to knit (1994) is this cotton sweater. I used the same yarn to weave fabric and made this skirt to match the sweater. (headed to the donation box. doesn’t fit now) see ALT text

#ShowMeYourKnits is WIPs this week. I’m making some progress on my cashmere-silk 🧶 Musselburgh hat. Some former WIPSs, recently completed - another Dip3b bag and also did the bear-inspired gnome MKAL. A fun knit and I have no idea what I’ll do with it! But whimsy is good sometimes.

🏒Good to have @monstershockey.bsky.social Cleveland Monsters playoff games on TV! #FearTheDepths

May 4 is always about Kent State for me. I didn’t see much mention of it yesterday. Glad to see this today. Gift link - share.inquirer.com/gmo1D8

Happy for the Monsters! 🎉

Attached the knitted cover to the zippered bag. Skimmed along the yarn and bag covering. Only two very small blips of the black thread - thought I had hidden the stitches but going to let my perfectionism rest today. Happy how it turned out and it will be a gift. Have another one planned.

Happy to see killdeer babies again this year. I also have a robin tapping on my sliding glass door. I can’t have a feeder here so it isn’t like they expect seed or water here. The first day she just got up to the glass and looked in. 🤷🏻‍♀️

A knitter in Isabell Kraemer‘s group adapted her Bao Bao Cowl pattern to make a small bag. I don’t have the pattern but I knit the shawl. I made a cover for a bag using the same 🧶. Learning from that, I knit a second - smaller needles, more stitches. It will be a better fit. More info in alt text.

The rain has stopped but it’s a chilly, dreary day. Just baked some chocolate chip blondies - let me cut them and you can have one with your glass of chardonnay.

We are all Lukas

Not a good day for Cleveland sports fans. The Guardians and Cavaliers both lost in Toronto. The Monsters just lost at home. Think I’ll put my Tampa Bay Lightning sweatshirt on and watch that game tonight.

A little progress on my Musselburgh Hat. And the theme is purple for #ShowMeYourKnits. Rethinking the second color - may use a charcoal-colored yarn I dyed. I always stress about getting the correct length on the second half. Put a marker in the last increase round and I‘ll measure from there.

Purple is the theme for #ShowMeYourKnits this week. I’m working on an Anthology Throw/Shawl and I’m knitting some purple shades now. A bit scrunched together - need to move to longer needles. This is an Advent Set I got through a destash.

I’ve cast on two Musselburgh Hats (design by @ysoldaknits.bsky.social). The variegated purple is cashmere/silk and the other end of the hat will be the solid purple which is silk/camel. The other one is merino/nylon sock yarn and is in my purse as a waiting-time project. More detail in ALT text.

Finished another Musselburgh Hat (design by @ysoldaknits.bsky.social). Posting this as part of the #knitalong for knitting #musselburgh hats being hosted by @fennelandfiber.bsky.social.

Good morning Saturday! 23°F/-5C Going to be a pretty - but cold - day.

The #ShowMeYourKnits theme is Green this week to reflect the changing seasons. This is Forestgreen knit in wool/silk yarn from DyeForYarn. I wear this as a scarf and have worn it a lot.

Can someone please get Mother Nature an HRT prescription?

Just off my needles - the Hedgerow Shawl (designed by Curious Handmade). 🧶 in DyeForYarn merino/silk/yak in “Raining Heavily in a Graveyard,” a lovely blueish/greenish gray. Not on my needles but perhaps inspiration for #ShowMeYourKnits

Ah, Springtime, when the snow falls

‪@fennelandfiber.bsky.social‬ is hosting a #knitalong for the #musselburgh by @ysoldaknits.bsky.social. Working on my Musselburgh Hat again so joining in. Working a Graphite section for a brim turn and then will go back to Poseidon. Hedgehog Fibres sock yarn.

Sush a nice story about Burpee. Gift link share.inquirer.com/ptTxU3

#ShowMeYourKnits is lace this week. I have knit a lot of lace! Not sure I want to revisit when I did test knitting but I’ll post a few other things. This is Twelve Birds by Helen Stewart. “Starry Night” colorway, Pittura merino and bamboo yarn.

Well, I hadn’t really thought about this but it makes sense.

Just finished a Bumpy Rib Hat (designer Susan Ashcroft) for Ravellenics/Ravellenic Winter Games. 🧶 is Berroco Ultra Wool in Currant colorway - so it works for #ShowMeYourKnits this week. Another hat to donate.

More red knitting for #ShowMeYourKnits - Auroral Hat by Triona Murphy 🧶 is Malabrigo Rios in Libra colorway. Very easy to knit and very stretchy.

#ShowMeYourKnits is reds and pinks this week. I have a lot of red knits - and probably have shown them before. Here’s a Mutsch Shawl - Malabrigo Rios in Libra colorway. Design is by Isabell Kraemer.

Fortunate to find a parking place and stood in a long line - but Malley’s Chocolate-Covered Strawberries are worth it!

Knit a ZZ Top hat (designer Susan Ashcroft) for Ravellenics/Ravellenic Winter Games. 🧶 is Berroco Ultra Wool In Navy colorway. Will donate the hat to a local group - so an easy-care wool yarn.

Goal for Laila Edwards! The US women’s hockey team are playing so well!

I keep wondering this, too. Gift link to this by @willbunch.bsky.social share.inquirer.com/6K3BLT

Cast on a Bricks and Bracken (designer Susan Ashcroft) for Ravellenics/Ravellenic Winter Games. 🧶 is Berroco Ultra Wool In Rosemary colorway. Will donate the hat to a local group so went with an easy-care wool yarn.

Great start to the NHL Stadium Series - Bolts score! Jon Cooper looks great, dressed for the theme with the Gasparilla Festival.

Great finish and win for the Cleveland Monsters! 🏒🥅

I needed some mindless knitting with everything going on. Since I finished my scrappy Musselburgh, I cast on another one. 🧶 is Hedgehog Fibres Sock in ‘Poseidon.’

#ShowMeYourKnits is garter stitch this week. This is a Chevron Shenanigans I knit in 2020. 🧶 is DyeForYarn Tussah Fingering. I’ve worn this a lot. Garter stitch really opens up when knit is silk yarn.

Very cold morning (3°F/-16C) for Mr. Coyote.

Chicken and dumplings for the storm. Will take some to my mom tomorrow. Recipe description in alt text.
