Currently on the needles for #ShowMeYourKnits is a trellis hat in a random wool blend from the stash.
I don't think it's going to fit, but I'm carrying on knitting while I decide if I want to start over or just make it to give someone else

Carved pumpkin per Nugget's design
A jack-o'-lantern in a dark room, with a light inside. Its eyes are uneven sizes, and its mouth is very irregular and jagged. It's the kind of face that would cackle.

horror stories for #ShowMeYourKnits!
Once upon a time I hand spun (with a drop spindle) enough yarn to make an adorable pink beret. I wore it four or five times, then left it on a bus.
Hopefully whoever took it home appreciated their warm head.

4 days into knitting a hat for @mobilebeardunit.bsky.social and his big, chilly noggin. It'd be going faster if the kids would sleep
a hand holding the start of a knitted hat on double pointed needles. The yarn is variegated in indigo, silver grey, and warm grey, and it is worked in a rib stitch.

Not quite halfway through this scrapbook and it's so gapey already, gonna have to strategise some sort of closure for it
A small notebook covered in brown card, with pastel colour pages. It sits on the palm of a hand and the pages sit apart from one another where things have been glued to them.

If this is finished before 2027 I will consider it a significant success. Like maybe 1/3 of the pieces laid out, then I'll need to stitch them all down, then embellish all the edges and the plainer patches, then construct and line it...
Pattern pieces for a short jacket laid out on a carpet. Each piece has irregular chunks of other fabrics pinned to it to lay out a crazy quilt pattern.

Cultpens order in today, next year's diary, and a notebook from a new to me paper brand; Endless which claims to be the most ink friendly notebook ever. Not sure I agree with that bit - the shading and shimmer are fantastic but the bleed through is not
A notebook page with a few fountain pen ink swatches. Troublemaker petrichor is a cool grey with pink shading, three oysters chilli red is scarlet coloured, diamine little pip is a deep purple with gold sheen, lamy M nib has been written in a hot pink ink, and TWSBI F nib is written in diamine green umber The reverse of the page in the previous picture. The swatches of troublemaker petrichor and three oysters chilli red show clear bleeding and feathering through the paper

Search engines are failing to provide me with identification keys so can entomology bsky help me work out what we've got?

I'm not starting this. I'm not. But the idea won't leave me alone so I have packed up the scraps I've got that would go into it if I was.

Took 3 tries but I've managed to tie dye a star. Let's see if I can repeat it

Wednesday #mendsday anyone? Patched a pair of Will's shorts after spending weeks watching his wallet be contained more and more precariously
A pair of shorts with a big tear in the pocket. There is a piece of denim behind the rear, in the process of being sewn in as a patch The finished patch job on the shorts pocket. Running stitches have been worked across the patch as reinforcement and to blend in with the fine woven check in the fabric

Happy #mendsday, I actually did some mending for the first time in ages!
Dad's puppy is in the mouthy phase and doing a fair bit of damage, but it's an excuse to add some #VisibleMending cuteness

Doing my own stitching along with the sewing bee.
Relevant to this week's #ShowMeYourKnits it's going to be a shawl. Eventually.

A childhood fave retrieved from my parents house, must have read this at least 10 times
A copy of "the terrible trins" by dick king-smith. The paperback has a battered cover featuring three cartoon mice in a triumphant pose, one of them sitting on top of a glass eye.

Happy birthday #ShowMeYourKnits this tag is one of the highlights of blue sky.
Knitters choice? Let's go for this kids' cat hat, no pattern, two sock weight yarns held together to clear up some leftovers.
A pink knitted hat with cat ears, held up on someone's hand. The ears are placed so they'll stand up when the hat is worn like a beanie, and a nose, mouth, and whiskers are embroidered on the front. The pink yarn has flecked stripes of other colours
