Happy New Year! I’m starting the year with a migraine. Not the best start, but it can only go up from here! Here’s my Goodreads Year in Books. I actually finished 2 more books after the image was created for a total of 60 books in 2025. 📖 #reading

Blocked, fitting beautifully, going back on the needles today to finish it up! Test knit for @woolandpine.bsky.social #knitsky #knitting

Christmas gifts are mostly done (still need to iron on the patch)! Aeshna mitts for the 19yo and a musselburgh hat for the 16yo who likes his space. #knitsky #knitting

Gathering up the most important/expensive foods in our fridge to take to my in-laws’ houses because our power has been shut off until at least tomorrow night because of strong winds. Uggghghh.

#showmeyourknits this week is cardigans so here is the Hearthside Cardigan that I test knit for @woolandpine.bsky.social recently. It’s a great stash buster and knits up fast because you hold 2-4 strands of fingering together while you knit! #knitsky #knitting

This is coming out so well! Blocking then picking up sleeves before finishing the body. Have some time to maybe finish some Xmas gifts while this dries. 💜 #knitsky #knitting 🧶

Still working on 2 Xmas presents for my kids. The Aeshna mitts for the 29yo just need weaving in and blocking. The stripey Musselburgh for the 16yo is about halfway done and will have a cute little iron-on patch. #knitsky #knitting 🧶

Yay, finally a good amount of snow! By far the latest snow since we moved to Colorado.

#wipwednesday Here’s the swatch I did for a new test knit from @woolandpine.bsky.social using House of à la Mode DK. Still need to finish a gift knit but it’s hard with this new project on my needles 😆 #knitting #knitsky

#wipwednesday #knitsky It’s Xmas gift season, so I’m working on some Aeshna mitts for my 19yo. Last time I made these with neon pink for my niece, so I’m enjoying the more muted colors in this one.

If you have the means, consider donating to Transanta. It is set up to provide trans youth, often those who are homeless or in unsupportive environments, with gifts during the holidays. You can read letters and registries to help someone directly, or donate money to ensure everyone gets something.

Finished my Bookshelf Socks using a sock set from Hue Loco! They’re like a cross between socks and leg warmers with their length. 🩷 Looking forward to wearing these soon with leggings. #knitsky #knitting

Getting ready to cast on some Xmas gifts. These Hue Loco minis will become a striped hat for my 16yo. #knitsky

Release day for the Hearthside Cardigan by @woolandpine.bsky.social which I got to test knit! #knitsky 🧶

WIP Wednesday, I’m working on a new pair of socks with a much longer leg than I usually knit. I’m liking it! #knitting #knitsky Yarn by Hue Loco

#showmeyourknits Spooky season knitting horror stories! I made up this pattern and loved this hat. Such a great color! And I lost it before I even got a picture of it finished. 😭 #knitsky

Finished these awhile ago but finally wove in the ends and blocked them. These are the Botanic Socks by West Knits from his Year of Socks 2025. I knit them using Footsie by @voolenvine.bsky.social #knitsky #knitting

I’m working on my ooey gooey cowl but having a problem. I wound up my two skeins of suri together to make it easier, but the two strands aren’t pulling out of the cake at the same rate. So I think I’m going to have to pause and figure out a way to separate them into 2 balls. #knitsky #knitting

Went on my birthday hike today to see the fall colors. ♥️

I’m loving so much how this fabric is knitting up, so squishy and cozy! #knitsky #knitting

These colors are everything 👌🏻 #testknit @woolandpine.bsky.social #woolandpine #cozycottagecardigan

New pattern release by @knitgraffiti.bsky.social - the Pixie Cardi. Love this honeycomb brioche stitch!

An important read to understand the blueprint of what is happening in the US.

#showmeyourknits Baby Knits! To be honest, I didn’t knit much when my kids were babies because, well, they were exhausting. I was up to knitting baby hats though. Candy cane hats for my firstborn and their cousin, and a Wooly Wormhead hat for my second born. 🧶 #knitsky #knitting

#showmeyourknits colorwork! These are some mitts that I knit for my niece. She likes bright colors, not my usual color choice. 🧶 #knitsky #knitting

This week’s #showmeyourknits is Spring Green ☘️ I think these socks fit the vibe since the perennials have started peeking up but we will most likely still get some more snow. Happy Spring Break to those who celebrate 😉 #knitsky 🧶

Working this week on a test knit for @knitgraffiti.bsky.social I’ve never knit honeycomb brioche before, but I think I’ve got the rhythm of it now. Loving how it’s coming out! #pixiecardi #knitsky 🧶

I’m working on my Take Your Time cardigan and noticing something concerning. The brioche rows that include the white yarn are slanting. The middle brioche section that doesn’t include the white is straight. Is this because of the spin on the yarn? Will it block out and stay blocked out? 😬 🧶 #knitsky

A sampling of the lace knitting I’ve done over the years for this week’s #showmeyourknits LACE! Deschain by Leila Raven, Stac Shoaigh by Ysolda Teague, and Sprite’s Fen by Helen Stewart. #knitsky #knitting 🧶

Needed a new brioche project - it’s my favorite way to de-stress. So I cast on the new sweater by Joji Locatelli, the Take Your Time cardigan, using my favorite yarn by Hue Loco. It’s doing its job well. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #skykal 🧶

This week’s #showmeyourknits is WIPs, and I have a lot of them. I need variety in my knitting or I get bored. 🥱 The WIP I’m working on the most currently is Seablush by @andrearangelknits.bsky.social which I started in 2020. Size 2 needles on a sweater!! But it’s pretty 😍 🧶 #knitsky #knitting

This week’s #showmeyourknits theme is LOVE. I knit these fraternal mitts in 2017. The kit I got didn’t come with enough yarn and someone who knit the same pattern sent me her leftovers. I love the knitting community, always willing to help out! #knitsky #knitting 🧶

I finished my #stripestepsocks by Stephen West! I LOVE how they came out, and I’m picking out yarn for the February socks now. #showmeyourknits 🧶 #knitsky #knitting

Another stand out stripes project I have for this week’s #showmeyourknits is my Shawlography (pattern by Stephen West). I love how this one came out! So many different kinds of stripes! 🧶 #knitsky #knitting

It’s #showmeyourknits stripes week, and I have a lot of striped socks. Here are some of my favorites. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

I started this sweater in 2018 but set it aside when the sleeve was too snug. I’m finally picking it up again for #skykal and will rip back the sleeve to start the decreases later (or not at all). 🧶 #knitsky

I found another project for #showmeyourknits cables week! This one isn’t as obviously cables, so I missed it before. The pattern is Agni by Leila Raven and I knit it with Quince & Co Piper. Super cozy because it’s snug and fluffy! #knitting #knitsky

Lets do it! A Knitalong to get the community going here on @bsky.app! Start something new (or pick up an old project) using blue yarn, any shade and use the #SkyKAL hashtag to post progress or finished projects. We will let it roll until the end of February. To keep things simple. See comments…

I guess I’m not big on cables. I wanted to participate in this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits but only found a single cabled project when scrolling through my ravelry notebook. And this one was a gift for my niece! I do use my cable needle a lot for brioche designs though. #knitting #knitsky 🧶

Another current #knitting project - the Stripestep socks by Stephen West. I’m loving the unique sock construction! 🧶 #knitsky #sockknitting

Hi, I decided to set up an account here to see what it’s all about. Here’s one of my current knitting projects. #knitting
