More cables for #ShowMeYourKnits - these baby jumpers are all from 2021-22 from the Lullaby Knits book by Vibe Ulrik Sondergaard 🧶

#ShowMeYourKnits week 89 is cables - I decided to dig out the Knitted Cable Sourcebook by @norahgn.bsky.social to make a scarf (might have enough wool left for a hat too, all being well, there is a great cloche pattern in the book) 🧶

#wipwednesday and my scarf is growing 🧶

Second embroidery kit is done (and the French knots are a bit tidier than on the first one!) #embroidery

Oops, typo on my #ShowMeYourKnits post! It’s not sick week, it’s sock week! Here are some Christmas tree decorations (I am not much of a sock knitter!) 🧶

#SewAndTell week 31 is pockets - here is the yellow pocket in my green SewOverIt 60’s coat - this fabric was kindly donated by my friend Yazz in lockdown so whenever I wear it it reminds me of her #garmentsewing

More colourwork for #ShowMeYourKnits - this was a pattern (for embroidery? or lace?) in a museum in Innsbruck, which I adapted and knitted up 🧶

I’ve been so busy knitting blanket squares recently, I’ve been neglecting the embroidery kits that my mum got me for Christmas - finally finished the first one. French knots are a bit variable, the next one will be better! #embroidery

This week for #ShowMeYourKnits it’s colourwork - I do love a bit of Fair Isle! 🧶

#SewAndTell Hot Takes - I am of the firm belief that all patterns should have a seam allowance included, rather than needing to be added when tracing/ cutting!

Not the best photo but have just finished the ribbing around the edges of the blanket - a bit more sewing in of ends tomorrow and it will be good to hand over on Wednesday 🧶

#ShowMeYourKnits this week is GREEN so here are a few green baby knits 🧶

#SewAndTell this week is hand-sewn items - I present the Fine Sweater before and after the outline stitching was added 🧶

#ShowMeYourKnits I bought this lovely pattern from @aliensunset.bsky.social a while ago and really want to give that a go 🧶https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/oaksong

#ShowMeYourKnits what am I excited about? I’m excited about all of these squares being sewn together and edged, so that the blanket can be passed on to the charity and I can make something else! 🧶

Also for #ShowMeYourKnits sweater week, it looks like I was really into making stripy baby sweaters in 2014-15 🧶

Whoa, how can it be week 84 of #ShowMeYourKnits ? This week’s theme is sweaters - here’s a baby jumper that I don’t think I’ve shared here before, and would like to remake at some point 🧶

A couple of not-great photos for this week’s work-in-progress theme on #SewAndTell. This is the early stages of a Sew Over It Farah jumpsuit in a purpley blue cotton. Need to do the cuffs next!

Oh dear, I struggle to find any LACE for this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits theme - the best I can come up with is this pattern from the Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible. I am sure there will be much more delicate entries! 🧶

#wipwednesday and I am getting a bit bored of knitting blanket squares now! #ScrapAlong2026 🧶

This week’s #SewAndTell theme is winter so here’s my mothy Tilly & the Buttons duffel coat, which gets a lot of wear each winter #garmentsewing #sewing

I forgot the foxes! And the horses! More animal knits for #ShowMeYourKnits (!) 🧶 (this is the last post, I promise!)

I know there will be plenty of sheep for this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits -here are some on a baby jumper from 2020 🧶

A bit of WILD intarsia for #ShowMeYourKnits - dog on the Fine Sweater and Potion the Rabbit (the childhood toy of a friend) 🧶

This week’s #ShowMeYourKnits is WILD! Here’s a dog in a jumper and a few dogs on a baby cardi 🧶

This week’s #SewAndTell theme is green, so here are a couple of green jackets - my favourite smart jacket and a teal green needlecord, which I often wear as a shirt #garmentsewing

I always think I’ve never knitted anything pink and then I remember (not so) Tiny Clanger #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

Also for #ShowMeYourKnits the super-chunky Paintbox Yarns Everyday Sweater which is a bit warm for these days of global warming and hot tube journeys! 🧶

This week’s #ShowMeYourKnits is red and pinks for Valentines Day. Have just been sorting through old photos and found this baby jumper, which I don’t think I’ve shared before 🧶

#wipwednesday and the pile of knitted squares is growing (need 48 in total though!) 🧶

This week’s #SewAndTell theme is basics - and you don’t get much more basic than a T-shirt! This is the French Navy Stellen T, plus me looking a bit early morning/ stunned #sewing #garmentsewing

Today’s #FiberuaryChallenge is Outside - here’s my favourite outside knitting spot (tea/ wine optional) 🧶

#FiberuaryChallenge day 4/ #wipwednesday Knitted blanket squares for an old people’s home near my work (lots more to go!)

Still catching up with #FiberuaryChallenge ! Yesterday’s prompt was Mood - my favourite mood is Fibre Mood sewing patterns (despite the tracing). I’ve been wearing this shirt this week #sewing

For #SewAndTell this week the theme is BOLD - here’s my favourite Alexander Henry fabric, Frida’s Garden, as a much-worn skirt. I also made a sleeveless pussy bow blouse with the rest of it, and teeny bits went into a quilt #sewing

For the #FiberuaryChallenge theme of New Beginnings, the start of a blanket square 🧶

Just found #FiberuaryChallenge (a day late, obvs!). I’m usually knitting, sewing, embroidering with a bit of tapestry, occasional weaving and mending etc, London-based, like to travel, go to live music, bit of a sci-fi nerd

More shades of grey for #ShowMeYourKnits - cardi made for a German friend a couple of years ago 🧶

Here’s a grey baby cardi for #ShowMeYourKnits - looks as though I was using up some leftover colours too 🧶

This week’s #ShowMeYourKnits is GREY so here’s the jumper I made my brother for Christmas from an old Emu pattern 🧶

I have made it to the red part of my handspun yarn and it's weaving up SO NICE.

It’s kids week for #SewAndTell - I haven’t sewn any children’s clothes but I’ve enjoyed making a few kid-friendly hand-sewn Christmas tree decorations out of felt

Oh dear, I don’t have many garter stitch knits for #ShowMeYourKnits this week (and I think I’ve shown this one before) - cardi for baby Nori, which was posted off last week 🧶

Series Two is available on www.benitastory.com under Patterns/Free Cross Stitch Patterns/Series Two. There will be 8 more designs added to Series Two as I create them. Also, check out Series One. All free!! #benitamakes #freecrossstitchpatterns #crossstitch #crossstitchofbluesky #bauhaus #atomicart

#SewAndTell week 22 is work in progress. I’m turning this William Morris cotton into a Fibre Mood Edith blouse. Feels like I’ve done lots of pattern tracing and cutting, but not a lot of actual sewing yet! #sewing #garmentsewing
