#ShowMeYourKnits prompt is grey? I find grey dull, boring & otherwise undesirable to wear or knit - for *me*.
linktr.ee/sevensistersarts Astrid 🧶in "Abalone" is as close to grey as I get: at a distance it looks grey, but it has all the iridescent colors of abalone 😍

Before the next #showmeyourknits prompt drops, lemme circle back to the #babyknits! First up is "Boys, Boys, Boys" the solids for a pair of twins and striped for their oh-so-slighly younger cousin.

Only one project to share for the colorwork #ShowMeYourKnits, a bit of pandemic stash 🧶 knitting from 2020, modeled by Mathilde. Details in AltText.

Continuing #showyourknits in green, this is sweater I love to wear on 3/17 when it is cold enough, but not this year. I think of the glorious 🧶color as March Violets.

Green is one of my favorite colors but I've not knit a lot of green, and already shared some. Digging deep for this week's #showmeyourknits in soft green cashmere 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

#ShowMeYourKnits this project used the largest size needle I've ever knit with, a US 17 - a very CHONKY knit 🧶!

Starry Light by Laura Nelkin

Loved the FO so much I've made two. Have another string of LEDs to make a third one.

#ShowMeYourKnits is CHONKY knits 🧶?

Not my favorite weight, but I have knit a few projects with Super Bulky yarns including this cowl on US13 needles.

#ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 🧦🧦 Sock are about my least favorite knit. Last fall finally made myself a pretty & soft (cash/merino!) pair for lounging about the house. Love them but don't expect to knit more anytime soon.

#showmeyourknits lace week part 2: I adore using lace in garments, more wearable than shawls for me. This is Lace Vest by Louisa Harding, 🧶 is Whisper by the incomparable Briar Rose Fibers, modeled by Mathilde.

#showmeyourknits lace week? I love #knitting lace, have a lot of shawls & scarves. Love Fan & Feather and variations: this is one of my favorite. Ostrich Plumes by Anne Hanson, 🧶 is DyeForYarn Lace Tussah Silk - love the glow and liquid cascades in this combo!

“DOGE as a National Cybersecurity Attack” essay by Bruce Schneier & Davi Ottenheimer, is a must-read: it succinctly frames in plain English how recent events have resulted in new vulnerabilities that are national security risks.

#ShowMeYourKnits This is 2024's NYECO, Arched Gusset Mittens from @purlsoho.bsky.social worked in lovely, squishy merino/silk handspun 🧶 from SwitchKnits Etsy. Working second mitt as a palete cleanser before starting second sleeve on my Myrtle pullover. Hoping to wear these very soon!

Love? Here's a wee heart I knit last year for my DH. Truly a labor of love as fiddly knits and small needles were the bane of my existence even before LongCOVID. Pattern is Palpitations by Hunter Hammersen, knit in SweetGeorgia Merino Silk Fine, the Raspberry colorway #ShowMeYourKnits
February 9, 2025 at 7:54 PM
Stripes for #ShowMeYourKnits - that's tough. But one of a trio of baby sweaters for the next generation is striped! Pattern is Garter Stitch Cardigan (Knitting for Baby: 30 Heirloom Projects) in Cascade Superwash 220.

Last share for this week's cable #ShowMeYourKnits prompt. My own design in luscious Tinsilk from Tintagel Farms - proof that I knit cables in something other than purple cashmere.
January 26, 2025 at 3:37 PM
#ShowMeYourKnits my current cable WIP is Mork pullover from Julia Farwell-Clay knit in multiple strands of laceweight cashmere 🧶 from Colourmart. I'm sensing a theme here...
January 25, 2025 at 3:34 PM
#ShowMeYourKnits cables you say? Bed & Breakfast Pullover (Kathy Zimmerman) knit in aran weight cashmere 🧶 from Colourmart and modeled by Mathilde. A favorite on cold grey winter days.

I've spent too long on Ravelry. At times, I find myself looking for the (disagree) button here.

Yeah, I can mute words and tags, block people, etc. But sometimes there's something very, very satisfying about mashing that disagree button. Petty of me, I know, but it is Monday morning.

#ShowMeYourKnits in pink? Lemme see - how about this Herald (Janina Kallio) knit in DyeForYarn's Lace PaperSilk 🧶🧶. Modeled by Mathilde, making her #knitsky debut.

Well, I guess that thumbprint cookie recipe (from local Italian gourmet grocery) has a problem. Even worse, this means no Christmas Cookies for tea this afternoon.😱😱😱😱 #CookieFail

Will try again later with just 1/2 the quantity of butter specified.

By my calculations, this cashmere laceweight sweater has >53K stitches up to the armholes. Currently unmotivated to #knit more in it, but want the sweater. Am petting the swatch every few rows, gorgeous yarn 🧶. Still unmotivated even tho cold weather has arrived. Startitis lurks. . .

Myrtle Pullover being knit in brilliant colors of 3/28 cashmere 🧶 from #Colourmart. Loving knitting it, but also wouldn't mind if I could just blink my eyes like Jeannie and have a warm, soft cloud to wear. Center swatch shows what happens with wash&dry of this laceweight CM cashmere.
