My #cakedecorating journey continues: wreaths, "cables," and fondant! 🎂 I love the top. Less so the sides. But I am learning, and the mistakes are still delicious. #festivecake #buttercream #learningtakestimeandpractice

Socks are done! With plenty of time to ship them before the holidays. Yarn is Berroco Comfort Sock for a friend who's allergic to wool. Pattern is House Sock by Galt House of Yarn, and free on Ravelry and their site. #knitsky #knitsocks #handmadeholidays

#showmeyourknits is going indie this week! Yarn is Great Blue Heron from Songbird Yarn: indie, local, and supports bird conservation! Pattern is Wings for Nightbird by Teresa Yoon. Free on Ravelry! Knit as a gift, I got lucky playing yarn chicken with 6 inches left after binding off. 🧶 #knitsky

Someone thinks it's a hide in the blankets kind of day. She's not wrong. #catsofbluesky #catsky #tuxedocat #cozy

We're all set up at The Branches! Come by today from 1-4pm to see our (un)usual knit and crochet friends and some bonus holiday ornaments for the season. We are outside on the porch as you go in, so easy to find! #holidaymarket #shoplocal #kitchenerwaterloo

Tomorrow is our last market of the year, and that means I need to get All The Things ready. This is our first time at this market, and we're excited. Stop by and support local with us! #smallbusiness #holidaymarket #kitchenerwaterloo

This little friend will be available on SATURDAY at The Branches holiday market. I've been calling it a sun drop. 🌞 Come visit and see all the available friends! Made by me using the Wisp pattern by Megan Lapp of #CraftyIntentions. Yarn is Patons Classic Wool. 🧶 #amigurumi #crochet #crochetsky

Two of my favourite local shops did a collab, and it is delicious! Thanks, @flyingsquirrelyarn.bsky.social, for letting us snag some last night. I also finished a sock and started the second! #shoplocal #kitchenerwaterloo #knitsky #looseleaftea

NEXT WEEK! We are excited to be a part of the Holiday Market at The Branches next Saturday. Fingers crossed for good weather, and we hope you'll come by to visit! #holidaymarket #kitchenerON

#WIPWednesday for #showmeyourknits! Just an ankle and heel turn for now, but these will eventually be socks for a friend. I was told to pick any colour, so I hope she likes these stripes. #knitsky #knitsocks

This little griffin in school colours is a #fundraising donation supporting United Way. I hope it gets many raffle tickets! Cute Critters Griffin by Megan Lapp of #CraftyIntentions. Eyes by Chateau Bornais Crochet. Yarn is stolen bits of worsted acrylic from my partner's stash. #amigurumi #crochet

🦖 “Caw caw CAW!” --Raptors, probably. 😆 This little one is made from the Microraptor Crochet Pattern! 🌐: shop.craftyintentions.com/b/XUoip 🧶: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... 🛍️: www.etsy.com/listing/1066... #craftyintentions #crochetcommunity #crochetpattern #amigurumi #microdinosaur #crochetraptor

Sorry to drop the C-bomb, but are you looking for the perfect Christmas gift for the dinosaur fan who has everything? How about a commission gift certificate? Stock of these is VERY limited, so if you want one, you know what to do! 🙂 dragonsofwales.etsy.com/listing/4393...

I also am late for #crochetaway PINK week! This Ophthalmosaurus #ichthyosaurus was a test crochet for designer Jenn Starbird. I had this magenta yarn in my stash - Patons Classic Wool? - and I actually love how it turned out. #amigurumi #crochet

Cutting it close this week, but here are my #cables for #showmeyourknits. So. Many. Cables. Shawl is Equivocation from Curls 2 book by Hunter Hammersen. Yarn is a glorious local hand dye that I've lost the label from. Model is the always beautiful @grace-is-reading.bsky.social. #knitsky

This precious fluff turned 14 today (maybe - she's a rescue and dates are uncertain). She LOVES "her" new lap quilt. #catsky #tuxedocat #catsofbluesky

Happy Halloween! It's time for a reveal! This is Gnumpkin from the October gnome MKAL by Sarah Schira. (pattern also includes witchy Gnettle!) Yarn is bits from my stash, all leftovers from shawls I knit in the past. This was my first (of many?) gnome! #knitsky #amigurumi #gnome #mkal

Join our guild, for one meeting (guest) or for the year (membership). Extra incentive: my partner and I are doing a CAL next month!

The socks are done! With a day to spare! Yarn is Lang Super Soxx 4ply. Pattern is my own garter ribbing using Galt Socks by Galt House of Yarn for the sizing. #knitsky #knitsocks

This sounds like an excellent reason to visit the ROM again, though probably after the hype of the holidays.

#crochetaway wants to see most recently finished projects, but I've been knitting lately, so here is my partner's recently finished project! Heavily modified blob monster from the book Crochet Monsters by Megan Lapp @craftyintentions.bsky.social. Yes, it has 6 mouths. #amigurumi #craftyintentions

This week's theme for #showmeyourknits is knitting horror stories, especially lost knits. I knit this #StarWars hat for my partner who left it at the mall. He did go back to check lost and found with no luck. I hope whoever found it loved it.

I finished my #mkal #gnome! Photos will wait until November, but trust me, it is CUTE! Gnumpkin and Gnettle (I made a Gnumpkin) pattern by Sarah Schira if you're looking for a last-minute October project. Available on #Ravelry. #amigurumi #knitsky #nospoilers

#crochetaway wants to see #wip, so here is my crochet project that was put on hold this month while I try to finish a couple knitting projects. Eventually, it will be a beautiful snail!

On this #Caturday, Lillie wishes you a warm sunbeam to roll in. #catsky #tuxedocat #catsofBlueSky

One done, and one started! #wip #knitsky #knitsocks

#showmeyourknits is celebrating #socktober this week with lots of fancy 🧶 socks! My socks tend to be gifts, but these are ones I knit for myself. I wore the latest pair for the first time today. 🙂 Now to finish the ones for my partner... #knitsky #knitsocks

This week is #creepycute for #crochetaway, & I have already shared many of my monsters, but not these! Pattern is Ponysaur by Megan Lapp/Crafty Intentions. These are 2 of the 3 included leg options, and they are wired through the body to be poseable. #amigurumi #crochetsky

It's Mystery Gnome time! I will avoid posting spoiler photos for October, so instead here is my glorious #yarnbowl again and the HiyaHiya flyers needles I am using to knit tiny gnome parts. #mkal #knitsky

Happy #Socktober! These #handknitsocks are for my partner's #Halloween costume, so I need to finish them this month. #wipWednesday progress! #knitsky #wip

Last year, I attended an Indigenous-taught workshop to learn beading techniques and brought home the bits to make two pins. I ran out of beading thread to finish one, but the other I wore today on my #orangeshirt because #EveryChildMatters.

I just put my Etsy shop on a 25% off sale in case any of you are interested in any of my Halloween crochet patterns (or any others!) 🎃 👻 🧶 Patterns shown: Peek-a-BOO Gnumpkin Ice Scream Eye Scream Focus Pocus sammichstitches.etsy.com

I did a #Petrykivka painting workshop, and I LOVE my #pumpkin! Even the parts I messed up, and there are many. Huge thanks to Olena Chorna Fine Arts for the workshop! #trynewthings #falldecor #handpainted

White dumpling kitties for a friend! I love when my creations go to good homes. 😁

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

Another pair of #socks done for #foFriday! These are for me so that I can fold down the cuffs and keep my ankles warm this fall. Made by me using the House Socks pattern by Galt House of Yarn - I just ribbed the whole ankle. Yarn is Pro Lana Fjord Socks. #knitsky #knitsocks

Another birthday present, another craft book!

#wipWednesday These socks just need the toes to be complete! So close! #knitsky #knitsocks #lunchtimeknitting

It's so kind of @craftyintentions.bsky.social to release her newest book on my birthday! If you're like me & already have a couple of the patterns, the books are TOTALLY WORTH IT for more options. I have plans for a fancy snail, rider, saddle(!), and woodsy decor. #bookrelease #crochet #amigurumi

Getting a head start on a Halloween costume! Made by me using the free Nightcap pattern by Fairmount Fibers Design. I skipped the stripes and sized up my needles to get it to fit my partner. Yarn is Estelle worsted. It should be perfect! #knitsky #nightcap #diycostume

After the @kwknittersguild.bsky.social meeting, I signed up for my 1st MKAL in years. Anyone else on #knitsky making a Halloween #gnome next month? I need to raid my stash as the 🧶 will determine if I make a witch or a pumpkin. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

The fair is TOMORROW if you're looking for something to do in Southern Ontario. There are amazing vendors for all your fibre desires!

Interested in @kwknittersguild.bsky.social? Stop by Flying Squirrel Fine Yarn next Tuesday, Sept 16 from 6:30-8:30 for the monthly social. 🧶 Meet some members, do some crafting, and get all your questions answered! I can't attend next week, but you should! #knitsky #crochet #kitchenerwaterloo

An update for #wipWednesday: there is more yarn in the hat than in the yip yip, though the shaping isn't looking very hat-like yet. It will be a long, pointed night cap style, so it should get there eventually. I hope. #knitsky #showmeyourknits

These are absolutely adorable!
