#showmeyourknits Cardigan week! Love knitting & wearing cardigans. I knitted this for my friend. She is more like my little sister. We lived together when we were young. I knitted another for myself. I look forward to the day we wear it together like twins. We live so far away now. 🥲 🧶 #knitsky

#showmeyourknits Am I late again? Just off the needle. I made a Christmas hat! I realised this is the first time I ever knitted anything for Christmas. 😅 (Except crochet Xmas tree ornaments of course) 🧶 #knitsky

After a storm comes beauty. 🧶 #knitsky #nature #appreciation

#chrochetaway This week.. bit late on the game. Future challenge, is it? I got this metal box from a souvenir shop in Greece. It’s a soap box but I use it as notion cox now. Whenever I look at it. I have an urge to recreate the pattern with crochet. Can I do it, though? 😄 🧶

#showmeyourknits Floof! Too many floof! 😆 The first one, kid silk mohair only- most recent one. Its pattern is being cooked up now. The second, my favourite one to wear - DK wool & kid silk mohair held together. I live in this jumper when the temperature falls below a certain threshold. ☃️🧶

Ordered an iced coffee but got an Irish coffee. Well that’s ok. I consider it as pre-flight aperitif. 😁 🧶 #knitsky #travel #spain

I don’t know what I would be on the plane without knitting. 🧶 An early morning flight gifted me a crimson wonder. ✈️ 🌅 (I overslept and almost missed the flight. 🙊) #knitsky

#crochetaway Any thing pink! I do not have pink so I chose a lilac colour. 😃 Do you know Helen Rodel, a Brazilian designer? I adore her work so I decided to make one for my beach holiday about 6-7 years ago. This is closest I could get. (I think the one I saw was a dress but I made it as a top. 🧶

#showmeyourknits Cables! As soon as moved to Ireland, I designed and knitted a cable Aran jumper. This is a remake of it. I needed a cropped version. In a chilly but not so cold morning, this is perfect outfit working dogs. Behind, the cable blanket bedspread I made. 🧶 #knitsky More info:alt text

#showmeyourknits Horror! Tragedy! A beanie. It went to the washing machine with the wrong loads and came out felted. I literally cried as it was made with a beautifully soft (and expensive) yarn. 😭 I saw the bottom and now I’m using it a s a basket to hold scraps of yarn. 🧶 #knitsky 🧵

#showmeyoutknits The week of HATS! I have made two hat in my entire knitting life. One was a black beret which was lost during cross- Atlantic move. Only one left in my possession. 🧶 #knitsky

🧶 I found a very interesting video comparing synthetic/cotton/wool. I have loved wool since I remember. I was required to wear a proper suit in a corporation a long ago. Cotton shirts, skirt & Jacket - the whole shebang. But I hated the shirts. 🧵 m.youtube.com/watch?v=Pmbm...

#showmeyourknits Following Liv’s suggestion, I found a black top. Yay. 🎃 This might be something Morticia Addams might wear. I might wear this for Halloween with a long black skirt & hooded cloak, and of course, the makeup to greet children. Would I scare them or entertain them? 😆👻🧶

#showmeyourknits The prompt “socks” got me thinking how much I love darning socks. I only wear wool socks when I hike with my dogs. You know some part of wool socks are worn out easily. That gives the joy of mending. 😍 🧶 #knitsky #woolsocksarethebest 🧵

I just found out that another “Eclectic Jess” exists. I’ve been using this for a long while so it didn’t occur to me to check. 🙄 This another “Eclectic Jess” (a lovely crochet lady) has Youtube channel under the same name. So I think I should change mine. Any suggestion for a new name? 🧶 🧵

🧶 Finally got out of sleeve island! Last weekend was productive. 😄 The second sample is done. #knitsky #shelikeditpullover

#showmeyourknits Oh how much delighted I am with the word #socktober ! Pls do not laugh at me. I didn’t know that clever word. I suck at social media. 😅 I don’t have fancy pairs of socks. I knit very functional ones. Thick & sturdy. Nothing beats wool socks when feet are cold & clammy. 🧶

RIP Jane Goodall. A sad day today. We lost a guiding star. We all must continue her legacy.

#showmeyourknits Joy & Care. What a great prompt! I designed this scarf for my childhood friend Katie. After losing touch for decades, we found each other again. When I went to see her in Portland, I wanted to give her something to express my joy of having found her again. 🧶🧵

🧶 Damn! Am I late? #crochetaway Granny squares. How much I love them. ❤️ Here are the biggest one and the smallest one I’ve done. A bed cover with 180 granny squares. And tiny granny hexagons (does ir count?) with lace weight left over yarn. I made almost 50 of them. #crochetersofbsky

🧶 The sleeve island is real. So I casted on… 😅🤪 #knitsly

#showmeyourknits This morning was quite nippy. It elevated my knitting mood instantly! I always take my poncho out when the proper fall arrived. This was made about 10 years ago - my own design. I also wear it over pyjama instead of bathrobe. 😆It’s one of my Autumn staples. ☺️ 🧶 #knitsky

#showmeyourknits Can I change a bit? I would like to show someone else’s knit. I’ve been knitting for many decades. I knitted a dresser full of scarves & shawls. While I’ve searching for one scarf to show off, I found one very dear to me. It is knitted for me by a 80 year-old lady. 🧶 #knitsky 🧵

#showmeyourknits this weeks’ prompt is “WIP”?! I don’t even know how many wips are. I must confess I’m a WIP hoarder. Yes I need therapy. 😓 So, I’ll just show you what is on my needle now. Life goes on. 😆 🧶 #knitsky #knitting

This'd be a more enjoyable video without the subtle digs and devaluing of the (yes, scientific) work required to design a sweater, but the stitches they're putzing around with are really interesting (yes, "putzing" is me devaluing the work of the physicists, they can bite me) 🧶 youtu.be/iTLvD6-X8WQ

Yay- sweater season has arrived! Spring and summer in Ireland this year was unusual. It was quite dry with many sunny and hot days. I’ve been missing my woolly stuff. It’s more like proper Irish weather now. Wet and windy. Happy wearing a pullover and a cardigan. I must knit red socks. ☺️🧶 #knitsky

#showmeyourknits sweaters. Yay~! I’m a sweater junkie. What can I say? I have too many of them. Just picked few of my own designs and threw them on the bed. Damn! come to think of it, I have to fold them back again. (One of many things I do not like.. ironing and folding😩) 🧶 #knitsky 🧵

I just missed international dog day. My puddings are well. Thank goodness. 🧶 🐶 #internationaldogday

Yeah we need it in every aspect of life.

The yoke is almost done. The second sample - mohair version. 🧶 #knitsky #knitting

#crochetaway I’m sort of hooked on the weekly prompt game. 😁 I am bistichual so I gotta do crochet too. This week’s prompt is “the most proud work”, is it? A doily. Not because it’s exceptional but this is the first one I ever starched. It came out clean and neat. So proud. 🧶 #crochetsky 🧵

#showmeyourknits Babies. Ha! I found this! My another nephew. It’s his first birthday photo. I knitted him a zip up jumper with his initial. It’s pity that the colours are not shown. The colour was green and yellow, I think. He is all grown up now. I miss this little fella. 🥰 🧶 #knitsky

🧶#showmeyourknits. All things for babies. There was a time I knitted baby clothes only. But it was so long ago that I can’t find any photos. 🥲 I asked my friend if she kept the ones that I knitted for her girls almost 20yrs ago. She did and took a snap and sent it to me. So here it is! ☺️ #knitsky

Yarn🧶 substitution : kid-silk mohair (200-225m/50g: 218-246 yds/50g) Kidsilk mohair gauge can be as same as fingering weight yarn. Note: I didn’t give gauge numbers here as it can vary by individual knitters. But the logic stands within one person’s gauge. #knitsky 🧵

This week #showmeyourknits 🧶strip prompt triggered my memory. I made this linen top for a summer a long ago and i just left it with loads of ends to weave. And then I completely forgot about it until this week. I found I chucked in one of my book boxes. Dunno why.🤪 #knitsky 🧵

🧶 #showmeyourknit This little guy is my nephew. He was obsessed with stripes when he was this little. So I made him a striped cardigan. BTW, I didn’t know there is weekly prompt for #showmeyourknits 😅 🧵

I have cancelled all the plans today. 😭🧶 #knitsky

🧶 the second sample in the making. I made very slow progress since the holiday is over. It’s like two rows a day 😢 #knitsky

The second sample in the making on the plane. “Knitting for Olive”kid-silk mohair from the very same store. 🧶 #knitsky

I heard it again today. “I don’t have enough patience to learn knitting.” No. Learning knitting (or any craft for that matter) is not about having enough patience. It is all about you allowing yourself to make mistakes and give yourself chances to try again and again. 🧶💪 #knitsky

The photo doesn’t do it justice. Beautiful Handmade ceramic buttons from South Africa. I think I will buy loads. 😁🧶 #knitsky

Yeah, I decided to go for half sleeves for this top. One sleeve finished. One more to go. My favourite sleeve length is half and bracelet length. What is your favourite sleeve length? 🧶 #showmeyoirknits #knitsky #knit

I searched “yarn shops Copenhagen” as I’m about to embark on the journey of discovering Danish yarn tomorrow. And these are the results. Are these real?? 🤩 These are the first 4 pages of 10 pages. #knitsky #yarnshops #knit #yarnshopsincopenhagen

I started to knit this one three months ago to wear it while I’m traveling. After frogging three times, it became my holiday knit. 😆 It fits OK I think. Can I finish sleeves before I return home, I wonder? #ShowMeYourKnits #knitsky #knit

Wherever I end up, I find a yarn/craft shop. Here it is. The one, in Aarhus, Denmark, is a cosy one tucked in the medieval quarter. #knitsky #yarnshop #yarnshopoftheworld
