Sharon, Eco knitter, birder, happy knitting Eco Beanies and Beanies for Birders , using natural wools, kind to the planet. 🌏💚🪡🧶
Love it when an impromptu visit to the coast results in a bargain book purchase (£1) gives me something of pure joy to read, and to dream of another life. And of course all the better with coffee too.

Happy days and first day of #30DaysWild 🌊📚☕️

Essential break time before I tackle the weaving and start the steeking on this latest small wall hanging which will be winging its way to Arizona soon.

Wish me luck folks as it's always a nervous time for me - homemade pizza, chocolate, coffee and birdwatching helps though. ❤️🍕🧶🪡☕️🍫

Excitement in my little yarden today as this lovely Song Thrush makes an appearance. Just goes to show even the most simple things like a plastic dish of water can bring in the birds. Also great inspiration for my next #ecobeanies #beaniesforbirders project. ❤️🐦🪡🧶 #knitting #knitwilding

Couldn't let today pass by without celebrating the knitted bobble hat my sis made for me many years ago and it flys out every year on this very special day. Happy #WorldCurlewDay folks and a very happy Easter too! ❤️

Love it when the early morning Sun gives me a Rainbow on the wall and the fridge freezer. The perks of having a tiny window in the back door to allow the #sunshine in - welcome all! ❤️☀️🌈 #happydays #rainbow #springtime #sunshine #Wednesdaywisdom

Progress in the #knittingcorner today as I work my way through the hood on this Haida hoodie and such a brilliant pattern thanks Knit Wild. Looking forward to grafting in the sleeves and finishing off this week. Wish me luck knitting folks. 🙂🤞🧶🪡 #knitwilding #ecobeanies #wellbeing

If you can folks do go outside tonight as the planets are lining up in a rare planetary parade.

We can see Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Taurus and lots of twinkly stars, Orions Belt etc and a few satellites too. Definitely worth seeing. 🌏🪐⭐️ #planets

It's early and still dark, but the Song Thrush is singing so centre stage it has. Happy Sunday everyone. ❤️🎵 #rewildingme #birdsong #mybirdinglife #Sundays #birdsuniteourworld

Been a while posting and busy times in the #EcoBeanies #knittingcorner with a few projects on the go, in particular probably my most challenging knit so far - a hoodie with a button band, oh my, wish me luck! 😬🤞❤️🪡🧶 #knitting #challenge #knitwilding

As it's that "in between" days time of year, I am enjoying spending time exploring my new festive gift #knitting book "Knit Wild".
Cannot wait to cast on new projects. Happy Monday everyone!

Hot off the needles in the knitting corner this morning is a new rustic #EcoBeanies special in colours inspired by nature - the yarn is Icelandic #lettlopi. This one is a #beaniesforbirders design based on a Common Sandpiper - I love the colours. Happy with my new larger branding buttons too. ♥️🪡🧶

Had fun today trying out my new fieldscope and phonescoping kit at RSPB Saltholme, our local #birdwatching patch. Managed to film a Spoonbill and a Common Gull and given they were quite a distance away am really happy with the footage. More #beaniesforbirders #knitting inspiration. #mybirdinglife

It's a stormy day today and after a busy week of #EcoBeanies events and selling, it's time to settle into the #Knittingcorner and restock. Days like these are so much better with homemade pizza and salted caramel latte. Have a great weekend everyone! 🧶🪡🎄

Another very chilly day yesterday here in #Scotland #Cairngorms but I was super warm in my hand knitted #alafosslopi jumper. A joy to be here in a complete #winterwonderland wonderland. Back to knitting #EcoBeanies and #beaniesforbirders ready for festive fairs. ❤️❄️🐦🧶🪡

Enjoying knitting #Ecobeanies and #nordic headbands #inspiredbynature ready for festive fairs. In such a beautiful setting, there is no shortage of #knitting inspiration. I make #beaniesforbirders from 100% Icelandic Wool all colours inspired by #birds. #birdinggear www.instagram.com/ecobeanies/p...

Nearly there folks! Just putting the final touches to the neckline, then it's weaving and finishing to do. Cannot wait and just love this #Alafosslopi wool. 😊❤️🧶🪡👏 #knitting #ecobeanies #ecoknitter

Superb morning here at @rspb.bsky.social Saltholme and enjoying my other hobby of #birdwatching today. Have a great Monday everyone. 🌏❤️🐦 #rewildingme #birdwilding

Good morning! Another update from the Knitting Corner today and an early start adding in colours to the new jumper. These Alafosslopi shades (Chartreuse Green, Burnt Orange and Light Grey Tweed) really make me happy and are so cosy too. ❤️🧶🪡🍁🍂

Cosy days ahead in #ecobeanies HQ and I cannot wait to finish this latest jumper. Yarn is #alafosslopi in Cypress Green Heather, contrasting Burnt Orange and Oatmeal Heather. Beautiful #wool to knit with and my favourite at the moment❤️🪡🧶 #myknittingworld
