Shout out to our little gremlin. Viola oscillates between sweet and mischievous and she deserves all the recognition on the day of black cats.

Hello. Today was terrible. Have a photo of my cuddling cats as a timeline cleanse.

For this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits I have my most recent FO: the Agnete Cardigan by Petite Knit in Kid Silk Haze and Cascade Heritage. A gift knit for my mum and first time with brioche. Cat-approved.

A charcoal grey cardigan with turquoise buttons hangs from a closet door. A black long-haired cat inspects it at the bottom.

A little #caturday #kitten content.

A long-haired black kitten sleeps on a grey couch. Her face is pointed up and her head is squished into a grey and white blanket. Her tail is curved and her legs splayed out. She slept like this for almost two hours. Such an adorable floof.

I have a few green things for #ShowMeYourKnits this week. Green is a favourite colour in this house.

I have a needle binder from Thread and Maple. I use circulars exclusively, but they have DPN pages. There are also notion pages and project pages. You can really customize it to suit your needs. I love it so, so much! And it’s Canadian!

It’s sock week for #ShowMeYourKnits! These are a few I’ve made in the last year, and I’m planning many more this year. All of these are knitted in Briggs and Little sport yarn.

For #ShowMeYourKnits this week I have Solitary by Victoria Marchant knitted in Berocco Vintage DK. This photo was taken while blocking and before seaming. It is now one of my most-worn garments.
