#showmeyourknits this week is projects youve knit multiple times. 🧶 For me, its my own Lined Beanie (pattern is free on Rav). Every time I make one, someone ends up adopting it as their own. In the harsh Maine winters they are especially coveted. #knitsky
Welp, the porcupines and skunk met up last night. It did not go well for the porcupines... or my nose. Skunk prayed mama and babyright outside my bedroom window at about 130 this morning.
Cast on some of my beloved Wollmeise yesterday! 🧶 This is Emil, a variegated red, blue, and black. Working a two color sock with some local white alpaca/merino/silk i was gifted ages ago. Pattern is Microstripes Sock by Carlie Perrins. #knitsky
Finished! Right sock still needs to be blocked, but they are done! Now to cast on some bread new Wollmeise... 🧶👀 #knitsky
Completed the heel of sock no. 2! Shouldn't be long now... 🧶 #knitsky
Yall have no IDEA how happy this yarn haul makes me! Back in the day, Wollmeise was *impossible* to get a hold of, especially in their variegated colorways. 🧶 So stoked for this!! #knitsky
#showmeyourknits this week is tools. For every single WIP I have a project bag and mini notions pouch with scissors, a lotion bar, a tape measure, a tapestry needle, and a selection of stitch markers. I made up several identical pouches years ago for grab 'n' go ease. Love them! #knitsky 🧶
I have a HO (half object)! First of the Indiana Jones and the Socks is complete. 🧶 I even made myself stay seated until I had cast on the second sock, knit the toe, and the first repeat of the pattern! #knitsky
Love when my cameras catch the wildlife here! Not pictured: two porcupines chatting with each other on my front lawn. #wildlife
OG knitters from the 2000s will remember the absolute VICE GRIP Wollmeise yarn had on us. Impossible to get from Germany, and we got cart jacked repeatedly from The Loopy Ewe, which sold out immediately. 1/2 #knitsky
Body of the Hearthside is done! The collar makes such a difference! Setting sail for sleeve Island next... #knitsky
Body of my Hearthside is almost complete!🧶 Neckline next, I think. #knitsky
Knit a little cup/can cozy for a friend who had a birthday recently. Super quick knit, improvised pattern. Very happy with it!
I cant post this on my other social media as I have family/co-workers over there. But... thinking I like how this sweater looks already. 😈 #knitsky
My Hearthside is officially joined in the round! 🧶 I love the speed of brioche, even though you knit every row twice. Wool & Pine patterns do not disappoint! #knitsky
Left shoulder done through the armhole! Right shoulder is next then joining in the round under the armholes. Pattern is Hearthside Pullover by Wool & Pine. 🧶 #knitsky
My garden is thriving! Figures, since I half assed planting everything. 😄
WWKIP DAY! I spent time at my lys today, Heavenly Yarns in Belfast, ME. #knitsky
Spent last weekend at the Fiber Frolic and saw these wee sheepies!
Fresh off the needles!! Ill block it after work today, but im stoked with it!
I don't knit a lot of yellow, but when I do its eye-searing. My own Lined Beanie pattern, which I've made countless times. #showmeyourknits #knitsky 🧶
My recent dyeing has been to pair a cloud lace yarn with a sock yarn to make complimentary skeins with the same yardage for working together. I LOVE them! #knitsky 🧶
