This is the Perihelion Shawl by @deunynknits.bsky.social! It’s probably the most challenging and beautiful shawl I’ve ever made and I’ll treasure it forever.

This poor family was just trying to snooze. 😂 The magpie hassled them one by one until they moved to a different part of the lawn.

I’m so excited to share with you my Perihelion Shawl at last! The pattern is 20% off through 9 December and is available on Ravelry and Payhip! #knitting #knitsky 🧶

Just one more day… …and my last in-progress photo! It feels right to end it with a blocking photo. 💙

Two more days! • This is precisely where I started second-guessing my original plan for this shawl. I ripped it back to this point and went back to the drawing board. I am pleased with the result although it took me longer than I’d hoped. I do apologize for making you wait so long! #knitsky 🧶

Just three more days! • This is probably my least favorite progress shot. The stitches were rather crowded on the cable and I had trouble photographing from an angle I liked. But it’s still fun to see the difference! • #knitsky 🧶

The Perihelion Shawl is the most intricate piece I’ve designed to date. The bulk of the design work occurred over the last couple of years but my original shawl swatch was made over five years ago! I was so worried I’d mess up a good beginning I set it aside for a while. #knitting #knitsky 🧶

Five more days! At this point the shawl has increased to the point progress shows more slowly. #knitsky 🧶

Just 6 more days until publication! #knit #briochestitch 🧶

Just one week until my Perihelion shawl pattern is published! I think this section looks like a miniature sunburst or an aster, I love it. #knitting #knitsky 🧶

This is, or will be, my Perihelion Shawl☀️ which will be published December 4! • A lot of people saw the tree of life in this one. While this particular shawl does not evolve in that direction you’ve all inspired me to play with some new ideas with this as a starting point! #knit #knitsky 🧶

This shawl is aaalmost ready to be published. I’m currently aiming for December 4, I can’t wait to share it with you! In the meantime I hope you’ll enjoy some progress shots! #knitting #knitsky 🧶

We’re celebrating indie designers this week for #showmeyourknits and I want to give a shoutout to @deunynknits.bsky.social! If you’re looking for a creative brioche project, you’ll love her patterns. I’ve made three (the pink and brown shawl is in testing). www.ravelry.com/patterns/sou...

TIL about block lists. All I did was search “block list” and it’s super easy to subscribe to whatever you may be interested in not being exposed to.

I promised myself I wouldn’t start another project until I finished my Melides Dress, but then the incomparable @deunynknits.bsky.social opened up a test knit for this breathtaking brioche shawl that I’ve been mooning over for a literal year, so I didn’t have a choice. #knitting #knitsky 🧶

I’ve been trying to avoid the necessity, but I will be implementing a small price increase for many of my designs at the beginning of March to adjust for my rising costs. Inflation is the worst. 😢 Pictured is my Saturn Rain Wrap. It is a wonderfully cozy rectangular wrap. #knitsky #knitting 🧶

My Summer Rain Shawl is one of my favorite knits. I love the texture of the lace with the twisted stitches and the added weight of the beads. And that gradient yarn from @thebluebrick.bsky.social! #showmeyourknits #knitting 🧶

Happy Valentine’s Day! 💙 🧶 #knitsky

#showmeyourknits Valentine’s week: The Heartstrings Cowl was one of my first designs. My little one (at the time) was obsessed with hearts, how could I resist? I feel like I’ve come a long way with my work since but it’s still a cute piece to wear on Valentine’s Day. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

#showmeyourknits theme is striped knits! This is my Stranger Strings wrap, inspired by popular artwork in the 80’s that incorporated the vanishing point wireframe. 🧶

🧶 #tbthursday #knitsky #knitting I’ve taken a lot of pictures of my Hedge Maze shawl, but these pictures with sunshine and greenery seem appropriate. 💚🍃

My non-knitter friends and family like to post that knitting-is-magic meme from time to time but we all know the real magic is blocking! 🧶 #knitsky #knitting

Have you ever gone through older photos and been struck by one that never interested you before? I love this moody picture of my brioche Tree Line shawl but I don’t remember this photo at all! It’s a little too green, I likely set it aside for color correction. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

#showmeyourknits cable knits! 🧶 This is the Beeswax Cowl by @baroquepurls.bsky.social and one of my favorite finishes.

I can check my copy five times and still spot a typo an hour after hitting the post button. 😞

Custom feed for crochet and knitting (and the occasional other yarn craft I get interested in). Picks up the yarn ball 🧶 AND any of these words: crochet, knitting, crocheting, crocheted, knit, knitted, yarn, nalbinding and pjoning in post or alt texts. Redone with the link (sorry for any confusion).

Hello everyone! I've been working on new knit design! 🧶 If you follow me on other platforms you might have seen more of this baby shawl but since it's a new beginning here for me on bluesky, I thought I'd start with the first of these progress shots so new followers can see the full progression.
