I knit. A lot. But in a fun, eclectic auntie way - not in a gross, conservative trad-wife way
Silver lining (because I need moments of joy): I’ve read SO much in the last couple of weeks. I throw on an audiobook, put some background noise on YouTube, and listen & knit. Currently on the last book in the Murderbot Diaries series

#showmeyourknits theme this week is Stripes. Here is my Stria cardigan by @dreareneeknits.bsky.social
One of my entries for the #kentuckystatefair last year. Beautiful cardigan, but I think I’m half fisherman ribbed out for a while 😂🧶

Knitting for my mental health because OH MY GOD. Three blankets (two knit, one crochet - 2 bed size, one lap size), a sweater test knit for @aimeeshermakes.bsky.social , and a #musselburghhat 🧶 #knitsky

Absolutely loving this week’s #showmeyourknits - cables immediately make me feel cozy ❤️🧶 this is my #menton1 test knit for @meggospurls.bsky.social (and she just released the new version with unisex shaping!)

I also pulled out the next round of sock leftovers so I can keep making squares for my #battenbergblanket by @cherry-heart.bsky.social 🧶 #crochet

I think this is the first time I’ve ever had them all in the same place at the same time! The stockings I made my nephew and nieces 🧶. Back at my home for some updates to the sewn lining (let’s just say a certain auntie didn’t consider the stretch of knit vs woven fabric 😂) #knitsky

Like a lot of people right now, I’m sure, I don’t have a lot of spoons right now. A very basic, very plain hat was just the amount of effort. Perfect Day Beanie from Kutovakika #knitting #knit #knitsky

Spent my day trying not to doomscroll, working on a test knit, and watching cozy knitting podcasts

Farmer’s Daughter Fibers - first pair for Sock Squad 2025. Deep shadow heel gives the look of a short row, but fits more like heel flap/gusset 😍🧶 #knitting #knitsky #sockknitter

Finished knitting and weaving in ends. Will I block it? Meh. Sunset Sweatshirt knit in Noro Haunui wool/cotton blend
