Summer knitting in full swing!
I’ve been dreaming about this piece for months, and now it’s finally on my needles 🤗. It looks even better in real life—almost like a high-end designer top!

Good morning. Not able to get out much at the moment and haven't shared a bird in a while so here's one of the cheeky little Blue Tits that occupy our garden! This little one had been finding bugs in our very old grapevine! 🪶 📷 🌿

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Took a break over the weekend from the news and spent a day in Helsinki with knitting friends 🤗. Soft Spot Pullover kept me warm on the windy early spring day!

It’s still early stages, but I’m already imagining this top-to-be as a staple for warm, easy days, maybe with white flowy pants..

Are you knitting something for the summer already?

The Atlantic has published the attack plans that Donald Trump’s advisers shared on Signal. “People should see the texts in order to reach their own conclusions,” @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social and @shaneharris.bsky.social write. theatln.tc/sQjzlvDQ

The founder of Signal releases a response to SignalGate:

“There are so many great reasons to be on Signal.

Now including the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations.”

Happy Monday, BlueSky #knitters!

Another mini KAL to finish that second sock by the end of the month! #2ndSockKAL

If you knit two at a time, it counts! 🧶

Show off your sock progress!

It’s time for another cute alpaca picture from the wonderful Sheriff Alpacas Farm, Sheriff Hutton, near York, UK.
This last weekend was the National Show for alpacas and I believe they bagged awards for every animal they entered 🏆🏵️

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests.

So, best we share all the footage we can here!

This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu.

I’d say we have an elbow length trumpet sleeve here. Absolutely wanted to give it a try 🤗.

I don’t understand, the more I knit, the longer my knitting wish list becomes 🫣!?

This cabled pullover was my most worn knit over the winter. But I cannot help but dream of another version, maybe using silk mohair only 😄.

This knit is an ode to minimalism as I’m slowly building my wardrobe to include basic knits again 😊. I’m super happy how this turned out with the saddle shoulders and the fluffy yarn 💪.

First summer knit on the needles. Breaking the monotonic stockinette stitch with little something around the edges 🤩..

Sending lot’s of love to everyone standing for equity, democracy and rule of law, where ever you are 🫶!

Really happy how this turned out and excpecting this to become one of my most worn items.

So glad I finally used my Cardiff Cashmere Classic balls, I got soft, light and drapey fabric in return 😊.

Have a relaxing Sunday!

Swatching a chain like cable pattern, just had to get it out of my system 😅. I’ll probably start with a pair of socks and maybe do a sweater too, but have no idea when 🤭.

These cables look so fresh AND classy👌.

Wip appreciation post 🤗: Saddle shoulders combined with wide crewneck and fitted shoulders 👌. Maybe the fuzzy yarn is not the best to show off the construction and proportions, but I love the vibe here so much! So plain, yet not boring!

Took Lazy Days Pullover out and had a lunch. The double knitted collar’s keeping me warm on this winter day 😊.

Have a nice weekend!

Quite possibly knitting here with the most beautiful needles ever 😊.. They are black eben wood with golden details. (The brand is Lantern Moon)

I’ve only worked a few rounds so far, but curious to test the set with various yarns over time.

This is what I came up with, in making a sweater version of the Ever So Pretty Shawl.

Not sure if I like it or not 🤷‍♀️. The style is a bit out of my comfort zone 😌. But I’ll leave it to marinate for a while.

Have a nice Sunday!

Hello knitters here on Bluesky!

Here’s my first post.. I’m a knitter from Finland and I also have published few patterns on Ravelry. One of which is Ever So Pretty Shawl 👇.

And now I’m making a pullover version using this stitch pattern and I’m so, so excited 🤗.
