Rest in peace, my sweet, fluffy Freya—you were a shy & gentle soul with kind eyes who always greeted me with a happy trill & a contented purr. I was lucky to have you: Smokey & I will miss you terribly. ❤️💔 #catsofBlueSky
A few striped knits in my recent past for #showmeyourknits: Socks with self-striping yarn from Woolens & Nosh, a Jaunty in brightly striped hand spun, & a New Norma
#showmeyourknits this week is yellow: this is “Annis” by Susanna IC—my first experience making nupps! #knitsky 🧶
Lots of stockinette stitch in my world—usually involving color! Photos of some favorites below (pattern info in alt-text) 🙂 #knitsky #showmeyourknits #lightitupmkal
Marian Girl by Taiga Hilliard is a cropped baby knit with a sweet bit of lacework on the center back #showmeyourknits #knitsky

Quote this post with a knit that starts with the next letter of the alphabet #ShowMeYourKnits J = Jaunty, by Andrea Mowry
#showmeyourknits this week is garter stitch, so here’s my recent Sophie Hood in Drops Nepal. It’s definitely coming in handy in all the recent winter weather! #knitsky
On my needles, a stashdown project: pattern is Andrea Mowry’s “Bean & Olive” made with multiple colors, instead of just 2. #knitsky #showmeyourknits
Last FO of 2025 Taybern by Joan Forgione in KnitPicks Wool of the Andes (Bermuda & Wonderland Heather) #knitsky #showmeyourknits
In November, Smokey, Freya & I lost our best (and silliest) friend. 💔 #Blueskycats #cats
#showmeyourknits this week: Christmas stocking ornaments! FREE pattern: Julie Williams’ (Little Cotton Rabbit‘s) Mini Christmas Stocking #knitsky www.ravelry.com/projects/Mav...
#showmeyourknits this week is hats: last Christmas, I got hooked on using sock yarn scraps to make Seaglass hats for friends… and eventually for myself too!
After feedback from the Knitting Community, SciShow has decided to take down the Knitting & Physics video #knitsky
I’ve been calling my Ooey Gooey “Autumn Evening” because that’s what the colors remind me of (using a skein of my handspun for the yoke) 🧶 #knitsky #showmeyourknits
#showmeyourknits I foolishly forgot that I sill have a stripey sock WIP (or two) 🧶 Yarn is Woolens & Nosh in the colorway “Stained Glass”
#showmeyourknits this week is stripes…this year, Andrea Mowry’s “Ooey Gooey” Rhinebeck sweater pattern has a sorta stripey vibe—using my own #handspun is adding to it a bit! #knitsky 🧶
#showmeyourknits this week is summer knits: this Ranunculus made with Rowan Fine Lace yarn (color: Patina) is nice over a tank dress on a breezy summer evening #knitsky 🧶
#showmeyourknits I foolishly forgot to take a finished photo of this Relax Tee by Aimee Sher (2 of my 3 kitties have been very sick lately so, you know, priorities), but it’s very clearly a beautiful blue! 😄 #knitsky 🧶 Yarn is Holst Garn Coast in the color “Cobalt.”
Another WIP (cheerfully non-monogamous crafter here!): Beagle by Norah Gaughan (men’s sweater) The pattern knits up quickly—yarn is Berroco Vintage in Spruce. (Photos aren’t showing the color well—it’s more like a dark army green.) #knitsky #showmeyourknits 🧶
#showmeyourknits this week is WIPs, so here’s a sock in progress #knitsky 🧶 Yarn colorway “I Read Banned Books” by Woolens & Nosh
Just in time for this week’s #showmeyourknits prompt! 😄 A funny coincidence, because I rarely work with yellow. 🧶 #knitsky
🧶 #showmeyourknits I used a couple of mini skein sets to create Tin Can Knits’ Vivid Blanket last year. It was knit for the baby of someone I babysat many years ago. I’d tried the pattern before but gave up because I found it too challenging for me at the time. This time, success! 🙂 #knitsky
WIP week #showmeyourknits Self-striping yarn is a good antidote to Second Sock Syndrome! 🧶
🧶 #showmeyourknits yesterday’s LYS acquisition is knitting up very nicely! 💕 Yarn is Woolens & Nosh SW Targhee Fingering in the colorway “Repotting Sprouts” Heels, toes, and cuffs to be done in Berroco Vintage Sock in the color “Smoke” #knitsky
When #Caturday & #LYSDay collide… Juno clearly approves of the hand-dyed self-striping sock yarn I acquired today 🧶 #knitsky #showmeyourknits
🧶 a #knitting twofer: my WIP Wednesday is a (cotton) gift knit! #knitsky #showmeyourknits Pattern is Stripe Hype by Kutovakika—I’m calling it the Beachy Blues. 🌊🏖️
