At last! For #wipwednesday here is the latest #kiddiwinksknits pattern on the needles. Should be ready for testing early August 😍 if it's not too hot... 🫠🌞 #knitsky #knitting

Happy Second Birthday #ShowMeYourKnits 🕯️🕯️ Here are two Allegros: double happiness 😀 😀 #knitsky #knitting

Just the loveliest of Twist jumpers, knitted by Alicia. 😍 The pattern goes from 3 months to 8/9 years. #knitsky #knitting

Here's Laura's smashing Enigma. She's knitted the 2 years size but the pattern goes from 3 months to 8/9 years. Happy weekend. 😍 #knitsky #knitting

Gosh, how difficult it is to knit in this heat! The colour of this yarn is straw, which is rather appropriate, the fields are all yellow. And look: it's the adult version of the Twist cardigan! So my summer project is to work on the pattern. Watch this space! 💛😍 #knitsky #knitting

Michaela has made yet another fabulous Whirligig. This time not only has she made a matching crown but also, wait for it, a mini dinosaur to go in the little pocket! 🫅 🦖 😍 How marvellous is that?! The pattern goes from 3 months to 8/9 years. #knitsky #knitting

Well done, Spain! A well deserved win 🏆 ⚽ 🇪🇸 🏆 🏆 Here's the OpArt plus a painting by Spanish artist Eusebio Sempere called Estudio del cuadrado, 1953.

And today we are rooting for Spain ⚽ 🏆 ❤ 💛 🇪🇸 with the Rivoli! #knitsky #knitting #worldcup #spain

I think the odds may be against us but I'm rooting for England tonight 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏆🤞🏼⚽ Here's Melinda's marvellous Zandra for luck. #knitsky #knitting #worldcup

Well, this looks lovely and very neat but I'm not sure it's the Kitchener stitch. There shouldn't be any seam and the stitches should be lined up so the join is invisible: (hope that's okay to say)

Coralie has just knit this really lovely version of the Flutterby jumper. It's the 12 months size but the pattern goes from 3 months to 8/9 years. It's one of the many patterns which are available in the summer sale! Sign up for the newsletter (link in comments) to get the code. #knitsky #knitting

More congratulations for a European team. 🇪🇺 ⚽ Well done, the Red Devils! 🇧🇪 🖤💛❤ Here's the Whirligig with its little pocket and prize sweetie 🏆 3 months to 8/9 years.

Well done, Norway! 🇳🇴 ⚽️ No need to decide which pattern to share today: it's the Oslo, of course! 3 months to 8/9 years. #knitsky #knitting #norway

We're off! 🚴 Really looking forward to 3 weeks of the Tour de France, just hope it's not too scorchio for them. 😎🌞 Here's Renata's smashing Singsong for the final maillot jaune post. 😍 #knitsky #knitting #tourdefrance

One day to go 🚴 and because I've missed a day here are 4 lovely maillot jaunes: the Tuppence, the Spotty, the Gift cardigan and the Twist. ⭐😎 💛 #knitsky #knitting

Three days before the T de F starts! 🚴 🚴‍♀️ Here's another maillot jaune: the ever popular Buggle! There are 5 sizes: 3 months to 3 years. Allez, allez! #knitsky #knitting

Forget the World Cup - the Tour de France begins on Saturday so here's another maillot jaune. 🚴 🚴‍♀️ Mimi's delightful Twist tee is full of summer sunshine ⭐🌞🥰 This is the 3 years size, the pattern goes from 3 months to 8/9 years.

I never wear blue myself but here is my great nephew in his new Islander which he seems to like! #knitsky #knitting #showmeyourknits 💙

Is it possible it's actually too hot to knit?! It's scorchio! 🌞😎 Not for Thea it seems who has knit this gorgeous Gift pullover in tee form⭐. She's knitted the 3 months size but the pattern goes up to 8/9 years. #knitsky #knitting

You may remember the pic I put up a wee while ago re Michaela's Whirligig. Well, she has finished it now and it's even nicer than I imagined it would be! A great stash buster 🥰 The pattern has 8 sizes: 3 months to 8/9 years. #knitsky #knitting

Finally, in the variegated yarn / plain yarn / slipped stitch theme we have the Xanadu tank top. And yes, there's an adult version too! Both have 8 sizes, the little ones 3 months to 8/9 years. Fun to knit and fun to wear! 😍 🥰 😄 #knitsky #knitting

Following on from the Xanadu cardigan came the pullover (or as we Brits say: jumper). The same effective slipped stitch pattern with variegated and plain yarn, and lots of lovely projects again! 😍 The pattern has 8 sizes: 3 months to 8/9 years. #knitsky #knitting

And then came the Xanadu range, starting with the cardigan. Variegated yarn, plain yarn and slipped stitches: a marvellous combination! And such nice projects have been knitted. The pattern has 8 sizes: 3 months to 8/9 years. 😍 #knitsky #knitting

So after the Doddle the next pattern to use both variegated and plain yarn was the Kaleidoscope. Both are used for the yoke, but the body is all plain and the ribbing edges are all variegated. 8 sizes: 3 months to 8/9 years 😍 #knitsky #knitting

I fell in love with variegated yarn, and combining it with plain coloured yarn and a textured stitch, way back in 2016 with the Doddle. I have been experimenting with it ever since, such a simple, and effective, way to add colour. 🧡 The Doddle has 5 sizes: 3 months to 3 years. 🙂 #knitsky #knitting

Well, I wasn't going to do any more button posts and then I remembered this Vinterland cardigan with the square buttons, they go so well with the grid pattern! 💙 There are 8 sizes: 3 months to 8/9 years. Have a nice weekend. 😍 #knitsky #knitting

The last lot for the button theme: teddies for the Up'n'down, flowers for the Wabbit, smileys for the Vinterland and celtic inspired for the Zandra. All smashing! Have a good weekend. 🐻🌷🙂😍 #knitsky #knitting

Multi coloured yarn on a cardi calls for multi coloured buttons 🌈 😍 Four from the Xanadu cardigan, the pattern goes from 3 months to 8/9 years. #knitsky #knitting

When the buttons are just the perfect choice... four from the Gift cardigan. The pattern has 8 sizes: 3 months to 8.9 years. 😍🌈🐶💙 #knitsky #knitting
