The second half of the Ginger Twist Studio yarn 🧶 haul from this past weekend. Look 👀 at that green in Yakety Yak 4-ply, one of the few remaining bases I have left to try 💚! Merino/ yak/ silk, I’m imagining a lace/ cable kind of cardi? #knitting

This year’s habit of just picking up & starting patterns w/o reading them all the way thru- then having to learn a new skill on the spot- continues… The Harris Hood waits for me to learn the Italian bind-off, which will be great to know, but was still a bit of a surprise when I read it… #knitting 🧶

Guess who I got to snuggle this weekend 💕?!? Can confirm he is a Very Smol Bean 🥹! Too small right now for these knitted goodies, but it means I can look forward to lots more pics as he grows in to them 🥰.

I did get to deliver these socks to bestie in person. But even I didn’t make her try them on to get a pic in the middle of a busy pub…only extracted a promise for picture later. Perfect fit 👌! #ShowMeYourKnits #Socktober 🧶🧦

A request from @annekosseffjones.bsky.social for a beanie pattern led me to modify a “stock” beanie pattern of mine to fit the bill. It is designed for fingering/sport-weight yarn; cotton and wool have both been tested. Interested in test knitting? DM me an email! #knitsky #knitting #abolishICE 🧶

Final annual work meeting in Edinburgh last week, so took weekend to visit some loved places, including favourite yarn shop, Ginger Twist Studio 🩵🧶. Been working my way through her delicious bases & picked up this Masham Mayhem 4-ply; so woolly & soft 🐑! Will be some kind of colourwork yoke sweater…

#Socktober weekend progress 🧶🧦. Knit a bit looser as they are meant to be boot socks - and have confirmed it goes over an ankle. Phew 😮‍💨! #ShowMeYourKnits

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

Lazy swatch for a potential Harris Hood in De Rerum Natura Gilliatt. Gauge is fine, but it actually feels a little stiff to me? Yes, yes, it might soften after washing, but I’m not going to do *that* 😬… Xmas gift for youngest #knitting 🧶

Been slowly collecting Exmoor Sock for eventual colourwork socks; it’s time! Original plan was green & orange w/light grey. Then green & light pink, then green & dark pink…but what about light & dark pink together?!? 😵‍💫 Not a ton of contrast here, but gorgeous colours & good enough for socks…🧶🧦

Socks delivered to bestie during a delightful visit in London 🥂🧁. Despite loving this book & wanting to knit EVERY PAIR IMMEDIATELY, these are my first finished pair (work, sleep, adulting 🫤). Surf Wax Socks from The Sock Project by Summer Lee, in Coop Knits Socks Yeah! #knitting 🧶🧦

Ladies get your check ups please. My annual mammogram did as designed and detected Stage 0 NCIS. Imagine if I didn’t go? #checkyourtitties

YES! Exactly this 👇!! Beautifully said, Pepper! It’s exactly what I meant for this week’s theme 💕!

It’s been a week 😮‍💨! Reminder that creating & making are important as is building & protecting community. Week 61: show me something that brings you JOY 🎉 or that you have #knit to CARE 💕 for others. Surf Wax socks in Coop Knits Socks Yeah! for my bestie, who is visiting tomorrow ☺️🥰. #ShowMeYourKnits

Really try to use this acct to protect creativity, build community, share joy - all acts of resistance 💪. But OMFG can we lay off the FUCKING FASCISM for one goddamned minute?!? 🤬 I know that’s the point, but god they make it hard. Anyway, here’s the Ramona cardigan 🧶& my no-makeup face. FFS.

Ooooo - Saw that the #ShowMeYourKnits prompt was for #AutumnalKnits so I grabbed pictures of three different versions of a Maple Leaf Shawl I knit for friends. #Knitting #Knitsky

My 2016 Subaru is sick - she may need a new transmission. That's outside of my budget with winter approaching! To pay for it, I'm offering a 15% discount in my shop with the code Clunker15 . If you can't make a purchase, please consider sharing, reposting, or liking to drive traffic. 🧶❤️ #knitsky

#tbt to my test-knit of the Audrey in Unst vest for Gudrun Johnston earlier this year. Her designs, inspired by her cultural and family ties to Shetland, always have a touch of the romantic and the most clever design details. 🧶 #knitting #handmadewardrobe #slowfashionmovement

Going quite well actually 🙂. Surf Wax socks by Summer Lee from The Sock Project. Making me think that there will be lots of contrast yarn leftover and could get TWO pairs of socks out of this…🙃 🧦🧶

Who on #knitsky is participating in the #WestKnits #MKAL2025? I don't have the skills to create a feed, but I'm making a list of participants to make it easier to find each other! #mysterymusikal #westknitsmkal2025 #westknitsmysterymusikal

We interrupt these socks to bring you…other socks 😬! Bestie is visiting in 12 days & I just remembered we shopped for these yarns last time we met…so I could #knit her more socks. As you can see, I already have the card to go w/them! I love her for so many reasons, but among them, small feet 😂! 🧦🧶

I did a thing... #knitting

Operation SLEEVES 🧶 is going great! In that the Salty Air tee has, well, sleeves! So well, in fact, that I’m thinking about adding some length to the body to go with the new Autumn vibe… The felted underarms were tricky to work with but got there in the end. I FEEL SO POWERFUL 💥 #knitting

Next pattern release! Monday 22September! These are "Pumpkins and Cats" Cowl (Knit and Crochet). They are made using yarn from @knitterkim.bsky.social. DK for the knit and Sock for the crochet. Just in time for Halloween! 🎃 #knitsky #knitting #crochet

And everything changed again for the lower part of the yoke when only the grains are held together with the mohair 😩. This is Too Much Cotton for this pattern 🧶. But we’re too far in now. Had a great experience with a cotton/ cashmere blend with last sweater and got COMPLACENT 🫠

As it continues to cool down here, I’m thinking of & cataloguing winter basics. #ShowMeYourKnits week 59: show me your SCARVES🧣! I only have 1️⃣ proper finished scarf. Gothic Lace 🩶 by Tin Can Knits in Lang Yarn Cashsoft recycled cashmere ♻️🧶. I’ve got Braid & Twist scarf 💜 in the frog pile for years.

Timeline cleanse! May you live in a world where your top concern is: will this hat I knitted fit my hedgehog?

We had a lovely 'soft launch' day on Saturday with so many new friends and customers. We were so busy I forgot to do any posts on here on #knitsky

OK, but forget all those socks b/c what’s *really* on my needles now is Field Sweater 🧶! And it is a journey! Two yarns making a lovely soft fabric, pattern/design amazing 🤩. Slipped/ Ktbl columns absolute disaster 😣, grains kinda loose. Although this pic on bigger cable looks good #ShowMeYourKnits

#knitsky 🧶💙 Pumpkin Spice Latte (she's itty bitty)

On my needles: the Breton striped socks from Summer Lee 🧦. Again, the point was to try new things. Don’t know what I thought afterthought heel would be (clue is in the name 🤪), but this sounds like a prank on new knitters?!? Also don’t like how colour change & ribbing went - messy 🧶 #ShowMeYourKnits
