Knitting again the lovely peacock feather shawl by Lyudmila Aksenik. I’ve previously done it to use up leftover yarn, but this time I treated myself to Malabrigo Arroyo 🧶

Yesterday I got 2 projects off the needles and another one is close to done, so it’s time to look at my stash and choose what to knit next. I think it’ll be these 2 with a bit of pattern but not too complicated. 1 will be in the yarn 🧶 shown (rare for me) and 2 the yarn in pic 3. Exciting!

If you’re looking for DK, I’ve made each of these many times in different colours and yarns. If you look on Lovecrafts or Wool Warehouse most patterns will be bottom up, knitted flat.

Hats for #ShowMeYourKnits this week. I mostly knit very simple hats to use up leftover 🧶 yarn and they mainly go to charity. Sometimes there’s a baby hat.

I don’t really have any spooky knitting for this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits but I do have a black cat! 🧶 And she is often found with my knitted objects 😊

I don't have much to show for this week's #ShowMeYourKnits because I don't really knit socks. I do however sometimes use up oddments making myself bedsocks (no heel, just like popsox but in DK) 🧶

This week for #ShowMeYourKnits it's knitting that brings us joy or that we knit to care. I get immense joy seeing the things I knit being worn by friends, family and their little ones. I don't like to share photos of other people and kids, so here are a few knits that were well received by cats 😻🧶

Yes. It’s such a joy to see Dublin Bay still giving its all in our tiny back garden.

So this week for #ShowMeYourKnits it’s Autumn-themed knits. The best I can offer are these in Autumnal colours. 🧶

I don’t have many photos of scarves for #ShowMeYourKnits this week. I tend to do scarves to use up leftover 🧶 and often start a scarf, get bored or run out of yarn and turn it into a cowl 😊

WIPs for #ShowMeYourKnits this week. As usual I have 4 different projects on the go. A tricky (cable) one, 1 or 2 lacy or textured and one very basic. That way I can knit whatever mood I'm in and whether I'm concentrating, watching TV or distracting myself from migraine. 🧶

Really peeved. Yesterday I made good progress on a child’s cardigan in this yarn 🧶 Until I noticed that the speckles were aligning into what looked like faded vertical stripes ☹️ so it had to be ripped out. The yarn will be saved for a baby blanket in the future.

Sweaters for #ShowMeYourKnits 1 & 2 are the same pattern that I’ve used many times (King Cole 5004). 2 uses the correct yarn (Riot) 🧶 but 1 uses a mock fairisle (Fjord) which I like. 3 shows I sometimes do cables and 4 is a recent one.

This week #ShowMeYourKnits baby knits. I recently made a blanket & all in one with hat (1&2) in Stylecraft Sweet Dreams Unicorn. The yarn doesn’t photograph well so just a close up of the blanket. Very soon I’ll be knitting new versions of 3 & 4 for a December baby - yarn ordered 🧶

Stripes for #ShowMeYourKnits I use a lot of self-striping yarn (image 1) but if I knit stripes myself it’s usually jumpers or blankets from oddments.

The shawl is growing. 🧶 One skein had more of the red tones so I have divided that in half for the start and finish. I’ve just swapped from the first half-skein so this is about 1/8 of the total.
