#ShowMeYourKnits prompt is grey? I find grey dull, boring & otherwise undesirable to wear or knit - for *me*.
linktr.ee/sevensistersarts Astrid 🧶in "Abalone" is as close to grey as I get: at a distance it looks grey, but it has all the iridescent colors of abalone 😍

There has been a lot of thinking, calculating, frogging and reuniting on this. Have decided I really don't like knitting stripes in the round, but have persevered because I can't stop petting the swatch #knitting

#ShowMeYourKnits wants WIPs and it is #WIPWednesday?
This finally happened today - second sleeve cap complete, w/ correct number of stitches & rows to match first sleeve. Sweater started 09/2025, has several pattern mods. Colourmart cashmere 🧶 will bloom & change gauge when washed; deets in Alt.

Hellebores in my garden - it always amazes me that something that blooms this time of year is so big and beautiful!

#ShowMeYourKnits babyknits part 2, for the baby sister to youngest Boy that came along a bit later. Cannot add alt text to this one?! Pattern is Hyphen by Lisa Chemery and 🧶 is ColourMart Extra Fine Merino 15/44NM DK Weight.

Before the next #showmeyourknits prompt drops, lemme circle back to the #babyknits! First up is "Boys, Boys, Boys" the solids for a pair of twins and striped for their oh-so-slighly younger cousin.

Only one project to share for the colorwork #ShowMeYourKnits, a bit of pandemic stash 🧶 knitting from 2020, modeled by Mathilde. Details in AltText.

Continuing #showyourknits in green, this is sweater I love to wear on 3/17 when it is cold enough, but not this year. I think of the glorious 🧶color as March Violets.

Green is one of my favorite colors but I've not knit a lot of green, and already shared some. Digging deep for this week's #showmeyourknits in soft green cashmere 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

#ShowMeYourKnits this project used the largest size needle I've ever knit with, a US 17 - a very CHONKY knit 🧶!

Starry Light by Laura Nelkin

Loved the FO so much I've made two. Have another string of LEDs to make a third one.

#ShowMeYourKnits is CHONKY knits 🧶?

Not my favorite weight, but I have knit a few projects with Super Bulky yarns including this cowl on US13 needles.

#ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 🧦🧦 Sock are about my least favorite knit. Last fall finally made myself a pretty & soft (cash/merino!) pair for lounging about the house. Love them but don't expect to knit more anytime soon.

#showmeyourknits lace week part 2: I adore using lace in garments, more wearable than shawls for me. This is Lace Vest by Louisa Harding, 🧶 is Whisper by the incomparable Briar Rose Fibers, modeled by Mathilde.

#showmeyourknits lace week? I love #knitting lace, have a lot of shawls & scarves. Love Fan & Feather and variations: this is one of my favorite. Ostrich Plumes by Anne Hanson, 🧶 is DyeForYarn Lace Tussah Silk - love the glow and liquid cascades in this combo!

#ShowMeYourKnits This is 2024's NYECO, Arched Gusset Mittens from @purlsoho.bsky.social worked in lovely, squishy merino/silk handspun 🧶 from SwitchKnits Etsy. Working second mitt as a palete cleanser before starting second sleeve on my Myrtle pullover. Hoping to wear these very soon!

In February 2018 I knit this beastie for DH, he adores otters. No hearts, or red or pink yarn, and love is not in the pattern name, but was a true manifestation of my love: his name is Valentine. Pattern is River Otter by Sara Elizabeth Kellner, 🧶 is Cascade EcoWool. #ShowMeYourKnits

Love? Here's a wee heart I knit last year for my DH. Truly a labor of love as fiddly knits and small needles were the bane of my existence even before LongCOVID. Pattern is Palpitations by Hunter Hammersen, knit in SweetGeorgia Merino Silk Fine, the Raspberry colorway #ShowMeYourKnits

Stripes for #ShowMeYourKnits - that's tough. But one of a trio of baby sweaters for the next generation is striped! Pattern is Garter Stitch Cardigan (Knitting for Baby: 30 Heirloom Projects) in Cascade Superwash 220.

I particularly like the back of this vest. I used every bit of the 1000 yards of TinSilk I bought at Rhinebeck.

Last share for this week's cable #ShowMeYourKnits prompt. My own design in luscious Tinsilk from Tintagel Farms - proof that I knit cables in something other than purple cashmere.
January 26, 2025 at 3:37 PM
#ShowMeYourKnits my current cable WIP is Mork pullover from Julia Farwell-Clay knit in multiple strands of laceweight cashmere 🧶 from Colourmart. I'm sensing a theme here...
January 25, 2025 at 3:34 PM
#ShowMeYourKnits cables you say? Bed & Breakfast Pullover (Kathy Zimmerman) knit in aran weight cashmere 🧶 from Colourmart and modeled by Mathilde. A favorite on cold grey winter days.

BooBoo shows us all How To Sunday.

#ShowMeYourKnits in pink? Lemme see - how about this Herald (Janina Kallio) knit in DyeForYarn's Lace PaperSilk 🧶🧶. Modeled by Mathilde, making her #knitsky debut.

Half the butter = half the problems with the dough and at least twice as tasty! With the seedless Marionberry preserves, they just melt in your mouth.
