Spent the last few days knitting the Kids Porty Cardigan for a friend who’s expecting a baby in March. I love being able to just snap the Jamieson’s by just pulling on it instead of having to breakout a scissor. It’ll be my first steeking project too! 🤣🧶 #showmeyourknits #knitsky

Casting on another project! 🤪 Been wanting to start my Marielle Blouse, the Dusty Artichoke yarn has been calling me from the drawer! 🧶 My swatch ended up being 4.5” x 4.25”, so I’ve sized down from a US 6 to US 5. #wipwednesday #knitsky #showmeyourknits Excited to see how it progresses!

I just learned #showmeyourknits has weekly themes! 🤣 Luckily, my friend is due in five weeks, and I’m wrapping up her little boy’s Ellen Playset Cardigan by Petite Knit and a Baby Bear Bonnet. 🐻 Just need to find some cute little buttons and wrap up the i-cord tie! #knitsky 🧶

Happy #wipwednesday ! Working on a Marbella in Berroco Vera in Dandelion for my mom’s Christmas present. I just got the yarn on sale from the Cashmere Goat in Maine, and thought I’d get an early start! #knitsky 🧶

Don’t want to jinx myself, but so far so good on the Rhinebeck Sweater! 🧶 Can’t wait to see more pink appear. I’m also obsessed with my new adorable sheep needle stoppers. 🥹 🐑 #knitsky #showmeyourknits

Just got my first (and hopefully not last 🥲) order delivered from Knitting for Olive last night. I had to cast on my first Oslo Hat immediately! Their Petroleum Green merino matches Isager’s North Sea mohair perfectly. #wipwednesday #showmeyourknits #knitsky 🧶

A little nervous to start the color work on my Bloom Pullover, but I’m so proud of how it’s working up so far! 🌸 Anyone else start their Rhinebeck sweater yet? #showmeyourknits #knitsky 🧶

Let’s play: “Is it Cat Hair or Mohair on My Pants!” 🧶🤣 Very excited for how my first twisted rib stitch collar is coming out for my Rhinebeck Sweater. #knitsky #showmeyourknits

Show me what you got from #knittingforolive ! I picked up some Dusty Artichoke to make Marias Verden’s Marielle Blouse. #showmeyourknits #knitsky 🧶

I’ve been wanting to get started on my Rhinebeck sweater, but I was struggling to hit gauge. I just learned some folks consider Malabrigo Rios a DK instead of Worsted. I added some scrap mohair and held the strands double, and that made all the difference. #knitsky #showmeyourkmits 🧶

Had a nice morning at Craft Club in the East Village. ✨ Making way on Pressed Flowers, I’m so excited for the gradient to start showing. #showmeyourknits #knitsky 🧶

Happy Birthday #showmeyourknits !! I’m so glad I joined BlueSky and found such a lovely crafting community. I just finished my first socks too! Super fun with Araucania Yarns Huasco Sock Prism Paints in Northern Lights that I had gotten in LA in June. 🌈 🧶

We’ve got progress on the Pressed Flowers Shawl AND I managed to clean out a whole drawer that was a catch-all for stuff that wasn’t being used and instead replaced it with a good portion of my yarn collection! #showmeyourknits #knitsky 🧶

I’m considering doing WoolBirdKnit’s Bloom Pullover in Malabrigo Rios 656 Lapacho and 063 Natural as my Rhinebeck Sweater! 🤔 I think it would count toward Charm City Ewenicorns’ Pink-A-Long too. 🌸 Think it’ll be cute? #showmeyourknits #knitsky 🧶
