My favorite garter stitch project was this chevron baby blanket I made for my new little cousin a couple of years ago. It was such an easy knit, and the blanket was so squishy. I’m about to make a new one for a friend’s baby.

In 2020, mom sent me a Valentine’s Day package from her LYS, which included this soft pink yarn and a pattern for fingerless gloves. They are the only thing I have ever knit that goes on the hands. I wear these while knitting because my hands get cold.

What’s on my needles? This Jupiter Crop (but I’m going to make it longer) by Caitlin Hunter. This would have worked for last week’s #showmeyourknits too because it is my first colorwork sweater. It’s been a really fun project so far!

This week’s #showmeyourknits is cardigans. I have knit for and a half of these Campus Cardigans (Alexandra Tavel) this year. This one was for my husband, and the second he put it on, it started pilling like nobody’s business.

The very first sweater I ever knit was this Flax Light (Tin Can Knits). I used two gradient sets (Twilight - Splash and Rambling Rose - Splash) from The Fibre Studio at Yarns to Dye For.

Knitters of Bluesky, I want to knit something for my brother’s girlfriend. I was going to do a Ranunculus but I keep messing up in the same place, and I’m wondering if i should scrap it for something else. I don’t think she is a scarf or shawl wearer. Suggestions appreciated! More info in alt text.

First time making rough puff pastry, and I’m pretty tickled with my layers! I used the recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction Baking 101 cookbook.

We are all capable of making someone’s day better.
A small kindness can ripple outward in ways we’ll never see.
We don’t need to measure its impact to know it matters.

Every trans person who comes out brings a bit more truth into the world.
It’s not just about gender or identity.
It’s about more people living lives that make sense to them.
That makes things better for everyone.

I’m trying to learn watercolor. I did some a few years back, but I haven’t had my paints out since. It’s kind of nice getting back into it.

I’m mid-Ranunculus, but I left my yarn at home, so I had to make an emergency trip to the yarn store yesterday, and now I’m doing this Stormy Sky Shawl while traveling. Yarn info in alt text.

This was the only project I could find in my photos for this week’s #showmeyourknits garter stitch theme.
The #showmeyourknits theme is blankets this week! I loved this Chevron Garter Baby Blanket that I made for my cousin last year. I think the yarn was a Cascade Yarns, but I couldn’t swear to that. This blanket was an absolute joy to knit and turned out super soft and squishy.
