I'm interpreting the floof prompt for #ShowMeYourKnits this week as a floof wearing things I've knit. This is my aunt's dog Buddy in the two sweaters I made for him!

@thecleanupstep.com and I took a watercolor class at the bunny cafe in Vancouver with another friend. It was so much fun!

It's time for a #ShowMeYourKnits horror story! It turned out ok in the end, but as I was weaving in my ends on this scarf, the cast-on edge broke! I was beyond upset 😭

I got a galaxy tattoo yesterday from Ash at Laughing Fox Tattoo!

It's joy and care week for #ShowMeYourKnits and it brings me joy to knit for knit worthy people, so I wanted to share a couple projects I made for others. The hats I made for my choir carpool friends last season, the shawl I made for my grandma, and the double knit scarf was for my aunt.

Book #16 of 2025: Secrets of Spinning, Weaving, and Knitting in the Peruvian Highlands by Nilda Callañaupa Alvarez

This seemed like an appropriate read since I'll be demonstrating Portuguese knitting at an event coming up. This really makes me want to try spinning and weaving again!

I love autumn, so it's surprising I don't have many autumnal projects for #ShowMeYourKnits this week. These are the closest I could find, clearly I need more autumn-themed knits!
September 21, 2025 at 5:45 PM
It's time for scarves for #ShowMeYourKnits this week! Here are some of my favorites. The first one is a gigantic arm knit scarf, third one was my first brioche project, the other two are double knit. Tap the last one to see the whole thing!

Book #15 of 2025: Pronoun Trouble by John McWhorter.

This book was really interesting! My only complaint is that I wish the author were more on board with neopronouns and using "it" for people who want to be referred to that way.

I finished my Effervescent scarf! I love how it came out, and the algorithmic knitting aspect of it is really cool too! 🧶

I'm trying to finish knitting my Effervescent scarf in time for the last KAL zoom call tonight! 60 more rows, let's see if I make it! 🧶

This is the only pic I have of the only baby item I've knit for #ShowMeYourKnits this week, and I hadn't even woven in the ends 😭

@thecleanupstep.com and I went on an Alaskan cruise with some of my family. We saw bears, we saw whales, we saw glaciers, we had perfect weather all week, and I acquired some gorgeous hand painted qiviut yarn!
