🧶Another test knit that didn’t end up sticking. The weight of the back fabric kept pulling the tunic up in the front, so I felt like it was choking me. I reworked it into this top, which I did wear for a few years before I felt too dysphoric in it. I’ve since given it away. #ShowMeYourKnits #KnitSky

Cesca takes a mirror selfie showing off a textured hand knit top knitted in pale pink linen. The main body of the top is 1x1 ribbing. Under the bust is a horizontal lace band. The bust has diagonal 1x1 texture that resembles feathers, before splitting into a deep v-neck and returning to vertical 1x1 rib.
This top was knitted from the horizontal band up, so I could try it on, adjust the strap length to make the band fall beneath my bust instead of on it, and still adjust the body length later. Then I undid the provisional cast on, and knitted the body top down.

🧶I finished in time for #FOFriday I’m happy with the way it turned out now. The colour blocks are much more visible in this picture because the light was very crisp today. Today was a sunglasses inside type of day. A lot of sensory overload all day. #KnitSky #ShowMeYourKnits

A hand knitted cotton halter top hangs from a wooden hanger. It’s knitted in reverse stocking stitch, and sectioned with vertical knit stitch columns. From the halter to the hem the colours change from pale pink over dusty pinks to bright pink, ending with a bright reddish pink that falls at high hip length.

🧶 Adding sleeves to a test knit. I’m extremely proud of this alteration because it took this from a top with “some use” to a sweater with “consistent use over years”. It also inspired Ainur to add a sleeved option when she reworked the design last year. Details in ALT. #ShowMeYourKnits #KnitSky

A hand knit top / sweater hangs on a wooden hanger. The oversized boat necked piece has vertical stripes in warm grey and rust orange mainly in stocking stitch. The hem is knitted in garter stitch with a triangular elongation with the tip in the middle. The left sleeve in the picture has no extra sleeve length, and is finished with rust orange i-cord. The right sleeve in the picture is lengthened to a 3/4 sleeve, continuing the striped pattern, and finished with a warm grey i-cord.
It was originally finished without 3/4 sleeves during the test knit of the design. I added the 3/4 sleeves later, because I knew I would use it more that way. I did also rework the second sleeve after this picture.

🧶 #WIPWednesday I did in fact frog my WIP that was turning out too large. Fitting to #ShowMeYourKnits, I’m reworking it on smaller needles, and much happier with it so far. Not much more to go, and again just one colour still missing. Also I’ve found a way the striping is less obvious. #KntiSky

A hand knitted work in progress lies on a white sheet. The hand knit halter top is knitted in reverse stocking stitch, and sectioned through vertical knit stitch columns. It shifts from pale pink around the neckline over dusty pinks to an apricot pink. One more bright pink will be added soon.

🧶Sock surgery: the yarn I originally knitted the toes of these socks from was not suitable for the amount of washing my socks need. The original toe of the bottom sock was cut off, and a new toe knitted from the live stitches of the foot. I’m glad I took and found this pic #ShowMeYourKnits #KnitSky

The toes of a pair of hand knit socks. Both are knitted in reverse stocking stitch in a variegated colourway of rusty reds and blueish greens. The sock in the top of the picture has a pinkish beige toe that has shrunk through washing. The sock in the bottom of the picture had the same damage, but has been mended by cutting off the toe, picking up the live stitches, and knitting a new toe in a dusty rose yarn.

🧶 Many knitters have a phase where they knit everything and anything they can get their hands on. I was in that phase during the original test knit of this shawl. I was revelling in the creativity of independent designs, and had yet to learn to know what I will use. #ShowMeYourKnits #KnitSky 1/x

A hand knit shawl has fallen on a wooden surface beside a ceramic container with a wooden lid and light grey triangle pattern. The rectangular shawl is knitted from a heathered lilac yarn whose actual colour is very difficult to capture in a picture. The shawl is divided into lengthwise segments that have diagonal knit and purl stripes, forming arrow or fir tree shapes. Cesca knitted this as part of a test knit, but should have known from the beginning that it would not see much or any use.

It’s still #WIPWednesday night, and this project has gone on hiatus until I decide whether to frog or finish. Again, I should have accounted for bamboo vs metal needles, and lower stress levels into gauge. This has turned out larger than planned. Who am I kidding, I’ll likely start over. #KnitSky

A hand knit halter top work in progress hangs from a wooden shelf that holds a skateboard. The top is knitted in shades of pink that get increasingly brighter towards the bottom. There is still one bright pink colour missing, but the top has reached its planned length.

I’m squeezing in one last multiple projects design for #ShowMeYourKnits before the theme changes. It’s another of my stranded colourwork sock patterns inspired by traditional mat weaving from the Philippines, and you can see how different amounts of repeats change the focus of the design. #KnitSky

A pair of hand knit colourwork socks is laid flat with the fronts and tops showing. The toes and cuffs are a light beige, while the rest of the socks are covered in a geometric colourwork design inspired by traditional mat weaving from the Philippines. The colourwork design combines the light beige with a semisolid petrol blue in diagonal stripes that form a kind of two coloured chevron pattern that shifts over one point every 5 repeats.

A pair of hand knit colourwork socks is laid flat with the sides showing. The toes, heels, and cuffs are teal, while the rest of the socks are covered in a geometric colourwork design inspired by traditional mat weaving from the Philippines. The colourwork design combines light beige with a semisolid petrol blue in diagonal stripes that form a kind of two coloured chevron pattern that shifts over one point every 3 repeats.

A pair of hand knit colourwork socks is hanging on black wire sock blockers. The toes, and heels are pale apricot, while the short cuffs are leaf green. The rest of the socks are covered in a geometric colourwork design inspired by traditional mat weaving from the Philippines. On the foot the colourwork design combines leaf green with pine green in diagonal stripes that form a kind of two coloured chevron pattern that shifts over one point every 2 repeats. Because it shifts so quickly, the pattern resembles diagonally stacked boxes in this iteration. Around the heel, the colourwork changes to leaf green and pale apricot, because that’s what yarn was there 😆

A pair of hand knit colourwork socks is laid out on black wire sock blockers. The toes, heels, and cuffs are dusty pink.

#FOFriday This one seemed to take forever. Maybe I finally hit the extents of my thin yarn stockinette patience. My nd brain thought this was way too little stimulation 😮‍💨 Any summer knitting recommendations that are not super femme, and not mainly stockinette? Details in alt as usual #KnitSky

I got my ducks lined up enough to pull together another post for #ShowMeYourKnits. A few years ago I bought a book from Habi, the Philippine Textile Council, about traditional mat weaving, and it has inspired a whole line of colourwork socks. Here are three pairs of the same pattern. #KnitSky

Cesca’s feet wearing a pair of hand knit socks that reach shortly above the ankle. The socks have apricot pink toes and cuffs. The rest is covered in a colourwork pattern of tessellated diamonds in a deeper red, each with another diamond inside it, on a silver grey background. Cesca ran out of the silver grey, so the deeper red design continues on the legs above the ankles, but with a dusty red background. The pattern is inspired by traditional mat weaving from the Philippines.

A pair of hand knit socks are laid out on black wire sock blockers. The socks have deep red toes, heels, and cuffs. The rest is covered in a colourwork pattern of tessellated diamonds in an apricot pink, each with another diamond inside it, on a silver grey background. One sock has the gusset placed below the heel, while the other has a line running along the side of the sock with the gusset placed along it. The pattern is inspired by traditional mat weaving from the Philippines.

A pair of hand knit socks are laid out flat with an embroidered linen project bag. The socks have camel brown toes, heels, and cuffs. The rest is covered in a colourwork pattern of tessellated diamonds, each with another diamond inside it. The diamonds are knitted in red with an ochre yellow background on one sock, and with the colours flipped on the other. One sock is shown from the front and top, while the other is shown from back and bottom. On the heel of the sock, you can see that it has been reinforced with a slip stitch pattern.

🧶 I‘m back #ShowMeYourKnits! Last week was a bit too much for my nd self, but I‘m feeling better after a day mostly in bed yesterday. Just in time to show off one of my current summer wips. I knitted the light blue version with eyelets for the test knit. Then I wanted a cropped version. #KnitSky 1/x

A light blue hand knitted halter top hangs on a wooden hanger. The top has A-line shaping and is divided into vertical shafts that widen towards the bottom. The reverse stockinette shafts are divided by knit stitch columns and have lace eyelets running down the middle of each shaft. The armholes and hem are set off by garter stitch and 1x1 ribbing.

A moss green hand knitted halter top hangs on a wooden hanger. It has the same construction as the light blue version in the first picture, but the eyelets running down the middle of the shafts have been omitted. It‘s also cropped in length, and you can barely perceive it, but the A-line shaping stops at the the bottom of the armholes.

A hand knitted work in progress of the same halter top pattern lies in front of an embroidered linen project bag. Unlike the other tops this one is being knitted in a fade of pink shades starting at a pale powder pink at the halter and shading to stronger pinks farther down. Two more shades of pink have not been added in yet.

🧶 It’s #FOFriday and my stranded colourwork jacket (pattern by @knitsedna.bsky.social) is finished, washed, and blocked. The last finishing touches could be covering up the steek edges and adding buttons. Since I almost never close my jackets, buttons seem too tedious to attach. #KnitSky

A hand knit jacket with allover stranded colourwork of acacia leaves is draped on a light grey armchair. The jacket is mainly dusty pink with white patterning over the whole body and sleeves. It has v-neck shaping and the front edging has button holes, but there are no buttons in sight.

I’m keeping my mom’s tradition going, and started stitching on the Christmas stocking for my brother’s third child. The goal is to finish this before Christmas, but I am very slow at embroidery, and I want to enjoy this process, as it’s likely the last in a while. #CraftSky #CrossStitch #Embroidery

A piece of pale blue aida fabric in an emboidery hoop is clamped into an emboidery stand. The very beginnings of a cross stitch project can be seen with a few rows of white half cross stitch in a marked part. A Pompompurin needle minder sits above the design, but the needle is stuck through the fabric instead of on the minder.

Felix Aguilar | Cesca (they/she)@felixaguilar· Jul 12

🧶Update: Just the front and neck edging missing on this beauty. Even though I’ve done it a few times now, there’s a resistance to cutting my knitted pieces. Am I sure this yarn doesn’t want to be anything else? It’s kind of too hot to work on this, but it’s also so close to finished. #KnitSky

Cesca’s Acacia Leaf work in progress is laid out with a yarn snip on top. You can see both cuffs of the sleeves, showing that both sleeves have been knitted. The cardigan is knitted in a dusty pink yarn with a white colourwork pattern of acacia leaves strewn all over it. Along the front are two vertical columns of white yarn, marking where the fabric will be cut open.

🧶 I did it, everyone! This is the eight pair of socks knitted from 4 sets of 100g skeins with 20g mini skeins. I did have to add in a little bit of other yarn, but only because I didn’t evenly halve the red yarn, and didn’t feel like redistributing when I was almost finished. #KnitSky #FOFriday

A pair of hand knit ankle length sock are laid on a white window sill. The overlap a bit, but you can see the colour placement on both socks. The socks are knitted from all eight colours of a countdown calendar, starting with red toes, then a red and dark brown zig zag pattern, with the other colours switching in at slightly different points. The heel is yellow ochre, and the short cuffs are a dusty pink. The bottom sock has visibly more red yarn, because Cesca didn’t think to halve it evenly before starting the sock. The top sock has a bit of neon pastel pink yarn in the zigzag pattern close to the cuff to compensate. You can also see that the toes and the bottom of the heel have also been reinforced with a slip stitch pattern like the back of the heel.

🧶 #WIPWednesday I’ve been sleeve knitting on this beauty. The temperatures are supposed to climb again, let’s see if I can finish this before the next heat wave makes it unbearable to knit at. I’m enjoying knitting this so much, I haven’t even shown my other wip #KnitSky #ShowMeYourKnits

Cesca’s Acacia Leaf Cardigan now has an armhole on the needles. The dusty pink hand knit cardigan has a colourwork pattern of diagonally sprouting acacia leaves in white yarn. In the background you can see Cesca’s knitting notebook with a bit of acacia leaf chart and some Miffy / Nijntje themed pins.

🧶Thanks for the appreciation of this project. I finished the body, and I think I will knit the sleeves before cutting the steek. I accidentally slammed a closet door into my toe this morning, causing a flare in sensitivity. Now everything is too loud, bright, intense today. #KnitSky #ShowMeYourKnits

The finished body of a hand knitted cardigan is laid out. The armholes have live stitches held on cables. There is a column of steek stitches running down the front. Because the V-neck-shaping is part of the steek the piece is bunching up around that part. The cardigan is knitted in a dusty pink yarn with acacia leaf colourwork in white yarn allover.

🧶This week I‘m able to work on this Acacia Leaf Cardigan (pattern by @knitsedna.bsky.social) again. I couldn’t bear the wool in my lap in last week’s heat. Only a small amount of rounds left until I finish the body. I seem to have the patience to take this one slowly. #ShowMeYourKnits #KnitSky

🧶Remember those three days of extended socialising last week? In combination with the intense heat, I have not been able to recuperate completely from it yet, because unfortunately everyday life continues. This is the pair of socks that I knitted during those days. One sock a day. #KnitSky #FOFriday

A pair of hand knit socks are laid out on black wire sock blockers. The ankle length socks are knitted in a red yarn with afterthought heels, and a furrowed cuff. The main socks are striped with a brown yarn in a slip stitch pattern.

🧶 #ShowMeYourKnits I haven’t been using blue a lot, but I‘m pretty sure I haven’t shared this whale with you yet. It’s beloved by the nibling. Been seeing a lot of intarsia in the round explanations lately. This is the pattern that I figured that out for, for myself. #KnittingForNiblings #KnitSky

A hand knitted stuffed whale lies in the sun on a wooden table. The grey blue whale has a white textured belly, and embroidered happy closed eyes. If you look closely, you can see that Cesca lost at yarn chicken and had to substitute in a bit of light grey yarn to finish the second fin.

🧶 My lacy socks are done! I‘m very happy with them, and that I remembered to reinforce below the heel. I had the most draining week with three days of extended socialising. The only upside was that the moderater encouraged me to knit along, which helped me regulate and finish three socks #KnitSky

A pair of hand knit socks are laid out on black wire sock blockers. The toes, heels, and cuffs are knitted in a rusty orange yarn. The rest is knitted in yellow ochre yarn with a thick and thin ribbed texture. Along the thick ribs, flower or diamond shaped lace motifs are spaced diagonally.

Not quite as red as the yarn, but close…🫣 #ShowMeYourKnits #KnitSky

A pair of hand knit socks are laid out on black wire sock blockers. The socks are knitted in brown and rust yarn, and the colour placement is switched between the two socks.
