🎉 COVER REVEAL! 🎉

THE TRUE COST OF WOOL, by @longwayhomestead.bsky.social, is ready to show its face! This groundbreaking investigation into Canada's wool supply chain reveals how 90% of our wool is shipped overseas while ~95% of craft yarn is imported, according to the most recent available data.

WTF?? His soullessness knows no bottom. Wasting $200M of tax payers money to stroke his ego with ads?? How is this helpful?

This week's prompt is lace - my favourite type of knitting. (aside from the bits that make me swear) #ShowMeYourKnits #skyKnits 🧶

#2025FrogOrFinish - have spent a couple of days getting all my WIPs together and making a decision on whether I frog or finish. Some of them I've borrowed the needles from and not kept notes....so some detective work will be necessary. It's going to be a very busy year!! #knitsky 🧶

I'm on the lookout for knitting/knitting adjacent podcast recommendations if you have any or want to recommend your own? - ty

#ShowMeYourKnits - WIVLP (work in very long progress) - I'm guessing this has been on the needles in this state for three or four years now. Will get it finished this year. #2025FrogOrFinish #SkyKnits 🧶

I have some new original ‘Village’ pieces up on the website. They’re different sizes, so check the dimensions.

I’ve really loved doing these and am working on some more in a similar style.

#ShowMeYourKnits so many WIPs to choose from but this one is my favourite! #knitsky #knit

Even with glasses I have such difficulty seeing the size on shiny needles....I've taken to photographing them and then zooming in to work out what I'm knitting with 🧐 I regret all those times I laughed at my nana with her magnifying glass now. 🧶 #showmeyourknits #knitting #rainbow

🚨 ATTENTION CROCHETERS 🚨! For anyone who’s ever asked…
👇👇👇
I absolutely love #ShowMeYourKnits from @livrunsfast.bsky.social and thought it would be lovely to add a way for everyone to share their crochet, too - so I think I’ll start sharing some #CrochetAway prompts!

First prompt:
Afghans/Blankets

Made this sunflower afghan for my sister in law 🌻

One of the great 'joys' of knitting..... I had to build myself up to sewing in some ends.

I hand draw all my cartoons to order, so if you have a friend who loves crochet or an enemy who loathes it, this could be the perfect gift.

Laceweight beaded shawl from the year I decided I'd challenge myself to knit something based on the pantone colours each and every year. This challenge lasted for approximately one year 🤣 #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

A second run at the painting Bricks sweater (in the finish not the Frog pile). The back colour-change seam still annoys me but the front is mighty pretty. #ShowMeYourKnits #2025FrogOrFinish #Ravelry #Knit 🧶

The 2025 Frog or Finish is off to a decent start with the first finish. Started in 2023....and finished today. #knit #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 #2025FrogOrFinish

I knit a lot this year, but by far my favourite project was recreating an old cardigan for a friend. She had posted a childhood picture of herself wearing the original with a comment saying that she would wear it to death if she had one today. So I offered to make her one 🧶 #vintageknitting #knitsky
