I am usually knitting, with some crocheting and spinning when I can tear myself away from knitting. I also help out my friend in her hand-dyed yarn business, Kat's Riverside Studio. I'm Aniko on Ravelry.

This was a WIP for 7 years until I recently finished it. The original pattern is a very oversized pullover but I will wear it more as a sleeveless tunic. Only took me 7 years to figure that out 🤪 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... by @katedaviesdesigns.com #showmeyourknits #knitsky 🧶

Just finished this www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... for fall. Yarn 🧶 was a small batch produced from local sheep and no longer available. Gauge was totally different from pattern so just used it as a guide. #showmeyourknits #knitting #knitsky

Working exclusively on this WIP www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... using a discontinued locally produced yarn 🧶 from local sheep. The pattern is just a guide since my gauge is vastly different. Must finish this for Wool day in October at our farmers' market. #knitsky #knitting #showmeyourknits

This week's #showmeyourknits is stripes. I knit www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... a couple of years ago but didn't really like the collar (always curled up, didn't sit quite right). Took that off and instead purled 4 rows and then bound off. Much better. #knitting #knitsky 🧶
A woman wearing a v-neck knitted t-shirt, blue and white marled stripes (wide but getting thinner from bottom to top) with thin white stripes. A woman in the same tee but with a white knitted shirt collar, which always curled.
