I knit and chase my dog and teach fitness and try to occasionally raise some children in my free time.
Instant fall favorite—the #claysweater from #ozetta, in yarn so local it doesn’t have a name. Love it! #knitsky

Fall is coming. #knitsky

I was so scared of it for so long but you know what? The #hitofudecardigan is a piece of cake.

Someone remind me I said that ^ in a week or two when I’m tearing my hair out trying to bind off the sleeves and make that cool waistband bit all at the same time, okay? #knitsky #laceknitting

I love the way the #ShowMeYourKnits prompts encourage me to look at my older pieces with fresh eyes, so for #knitterschoice week I’ve chosen the newest finished thing I’ve got. Here’s my #Tessasweater, in yarn from @thebluebrick.bsky.social and #plymouthyarns. #knitsky

A little of my #WIP for this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits: a #TessaSweater in “Lemon Ray” from @thebluebrick.bsky.social. Bought the yarn before I really “did” sweaters and didn’t buy enough, but I found a nice neutral match from #plymouthyarn to do the hem and 2nd sleeve. Eventually. #knitsky

It’s not easy to keep up with her energetic needs, but it’s worth the effort. When I succeed, I find myself rewarded with Puddle of Dog.

When I started knitting I felt like #garterstitch was low-key embarrassing—a bumpy, lumpy, stretchy mess I was only doing because I couldn’t do anything else. As is so often the case, time and experience proved me wrong.

Me looking at the #ShowMeYourKnits prompt: I never knit with #yellow.

Me looking at my Ravelry page: Do I ever NOT knit with yellow?

Anyway, here’s the #EmotionalSupportChicken I made my mom last year. #knitsky #cascade220

#ShowMeYourKnits I knit this in public; I knit it everywhere! It started conversations and even made me a few connections. 1700 yards later it was done just in time to sit waiting for winter to come again….

Finished! I’ve been deeply ambivalent about this project throughout, but when I realized there was a chill in the air this morning I reached for it without a second thought, so that’s probably a success.

I told him I wouldn’t ask him to “pose” or anything; naturally he took that as a challenge.

Finally: the finished photos! This is my #VaylaHoodedScarf in (sadly discontinued) #FluffyFloss yarn, and I am so, so proud. It almost makes me wish the cold weather would come back…but not quite.

I’ve given away a number of knits, but this was one of my favorites. And apparently I should’ve sent care instructions along with it. But I still love it, and it was sitting out when I went to visit the recipient recently, so hopefully she still does, too!

I feel like I’ve embraced knitting in gray more recently, but #ShowMeYourKnits this week made me realize that gray and I go back a bit. #EmyShawl pattern from @thebluebrick.bsky.social using one skein of their #tofino colorway.

Ohh, done right on time for #babyknits week! When I started #knitting the babies in my orbit got Flax sweaters, but this time I upped the pizzazz. And it was so hard!!! Glad I started with a tiny one.

When I need a break, I like to do the collar and weave in as many ends as I can reach. Nothing rewards me for getting a second sleeve done quite like having a finished sweater as soon as I do!

Is there some unwritten quantity of just THINKING about it that will get it done?

This #WIPWednesday my youngest has been home sick for three days, so look how much #knitting I’ve gotten done! It’s a baby #MobySweater in tweed yarn that I swear has a subtle funfetti thing going on, but it just will NOT cooperate for photos. #knitsky

#ShowMeYourKnits is all #green this week and I’ve got just the thing: a #ChâleCèdreBleu in one huge gradient skein from @thebluebrick.bsky.social.

I learned how to knit cables without a needle for this one, and learned FROM it that actually, I’d rather knit them with.
