This is my Happy Sleepy™ that I’m familiarly calling “the Artist”. It was one of my first working prototypes for this design. I wanted to see what would happen if I added stranded patterning. It still makes me smile so much! Although not part of the pattern, I’m still playing around with ideas.

#showmeyourknits Autumn Week To me, this sweater just embodies autumn in Vermont, one of my favorite times of the year. As the leaves change, and the air turns crisp, sweaters become my go to comfort. And this one is especially warm and light! Project page: www.ravelry.com/projects/lei... 🍂🍁🧶

The chocolate was too thick. The croissant, still warm. My sweater held the morning like a secret. No rush, no noise—just knit sleeves, gold rings, and time. The world can wait. #diaryentry ☕🥐

#showmeyourknits Stripes Week This is a great follow up to my last post. Frequently when I’m trying to choose an image to submit for a scavenger hunt challenge I struggle with knowing which to pick. These were other fun options. [see prompt in previous post.] @theroguehunt.bsky.social 🧶 #knitting

For one week out of every year, I participate in an annual scavenger hunt. It used to be known as GISH, but when that ended another group formed called The Rogue Hunt. This is an image from one item in this year’s hunt. Read alt text for details. @theroguehunt.bsky.social @mishacollins.bsky.social

I see so many people that use hashtags for knitting when what they are showing in their photos is actually crochet work. It makes me curious if this word is interchangeable in other cultures/languages? #knitting v. #crochet ?

There is no chocolate in my house right at this moment. It feels like a grave error in someone’s planning. ☹️

I recently discovered this image through a search on Instagram using my name. It appeared in the account of knitter @swetlana_vyborzhanka. I wrote to her to thank her for sharing such a beautiful image. Isn’t it gorgeous?!!! Design: Lindal Crew Socks Pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

#showmeyourknits Yellow Week continues! 💛 (Did I mention that this is one of my favorite colors?!!!) Yellow is such a happy color! Also, I took this photo on Grand Manan Island and even the memories of that bring me joy! Design: Lindal Turritella Pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

#showmeyourknits Yellow Week Today’s yellow is a rich golden toned design made with yarn from Quill & Quiver Fiber. Christy, who dyes all their yarn, has an amazing sense of color harmony. Design: Natalis Stella Pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #knitsky #knittersofbluesky #knitting

#showmeyourknits Yellow Week! I love yellow in all its various shades and tones! From a beautiful buttercup to an earthy rich ochre. It’s so fun to see everyone’s work! Happy Summer!! Pattern: The Lindal Tørkle Available on Ravelry: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

“As I sit by the riverside, A wave of serenity washes over me. The trees wave in the wind, Bobbing from side to side. The leaves of green pop out against the bleak brown of the woods.” Poem excerpt by @shark._.finn

As twilight falls, and shadows blend An evening stroll, where whispers send The air is cool, the world at rest In softening light, the heart feels blessed. Wöldten | Fine Hand Knitting Patterns Available on Ravelry

I haven’t been inspired to post in social media apps for awhile now, but today my daughter and her friend completely inspired me with their joy for play, as they modeled my knit designs. #knitsky #knitting #fiberarts

#showmeyourknits WIP Week Can you guess what I’m designing here? One clue: it’s not a sock! Or is it? A part of a sock? A sock start? Sock baby that’s going to grow up and evolve into something else? If you haven’t signed up for my newsletter, now might be a good time to join! 😉

Episode 46 of the Knit Kind podcast on YouTube includes New Hampshire Sheep & Wool acquisitions, a finished object from hand spun and a preview of a new design. Hope you’ll check it out! 🧶 #knittingpodcast #fiberfestival #nhsw2025 #farmyarn #knittersofbluesky

#showmeyourknits Purple Week The Ansgarius Cowl is knit using Madelinetosh Merino Light in color, “Mulberry”, (more of a pinkish lavender, but definitely within the purple family of colors). Origami style pattern made with twisted stitches. Pattern on Ravelry at www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

To anyone who has been following my custom feeds, I apologize for the time it has been taking to get your work published on them. The site that I go through to monitor content has been struggling with backend issues. As soon as it’s back up I’ll review everything. Thank you for your patience.

#showmeyourknits Cardigans What an incredible weekend! I spent a perfect afternoon yesterday walking the NH Sheep & Wool Festival together with my dear friend and fellow knitwear designer (Left) @grapefruitgardenia.bsky.social Wearing my Lindal Cardigan (Right): www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

#showmeyourknits DK The Lindal Lyria design works equally beautiful as either a cowl or a table runner. It features my favorite short-row shape motif in a gorgeous marled color gradient yarn. Pattern available on Ravelry at www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

I’m completely fascinated right now with these transparency techniques in weaving!!! #weaving #warpandweft 🧶

Just look at this incredible work of art! So much planning has obviously gone into the color planning and placement, as well as the vivid jewel tones used. It’s extraordinary! Completely made my day to see this. Thank you for sharing!

#showmeyourknits A Good Yarn Week When I first started working with the marled gradients from Junction Fiber Mill, I fell in love with their “Seaglass” color. Being able to hand pick my favorite skeins has always been a special joy! Together with a skein from Savage Hart Farm “Teal” ~ perfection!

#showmeyourknits This is a special skein of yarn I purchased during a farm tour at Fern Bridge Farm in Shelburne, VT. It was hand spun by owner, Kelly Otty, using the beautiful fleece of her gorgeous Shetlands. I love this so much and have not used it yet in a design. It is such a work of art! 🤍🩶🖤

#showmeyourknits LYS + Fancy Skeins I first discovered the work of Plied Yarn Co. at my local yarn store, @hermitthrushfiber.bsky.social and immediately fell in love! I’ve knit several of my designs in their gorgeous fiber. Today they produce both marled and semi-solid options. 🧶❤️

Did you know that almost all my patterns come with vector art files? These coloring sheets are perfect for designing your unique project and documenting the yarns you use. They’re also great for keeping track of yardage and making notes. Photo: Lindal Pannebånd. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

#showmeyourknits Grey Week While not entirely grey, this example of my Lindal Turritella design uses a gorgeous natural farm yarn for the linear elements. The color ranges from a pale ivory, through light grey and into this medium grey on the edges. Pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

It was an absolutely perfect day out visiting a local farm with my friend @graidimade.bsky.social My first experience with Gotland sheep and goodness, they left an impression! If I could have brought one home, I would have. The smallest was so incredibly friendly and so so soft!!!

Morning question: Do you enjoy receiving newsletters from knitwear designers you follow? Yarn companies? If you do find interest in these, how often do you prefer to be updated? Annually, quarterly, monthly, weekly… I’d love to hear your thoughts! 🧶 #knitting #knitsky #knittersofbluesky
