Not a completed project, but I had to show off my teal hand-dyed for this week's blue-themed #showmeyourknits!

It's one of my favorite colors, and I've been daydreaming up so many project ideas for it.

The colorway (green-winged teal) is available on greycapknits.com

It's blue week for #showmeyourknits, and today I'm showing off this sweater that I designed for Hobbii last month.

I'm in love with the sleeves!

I almost missed #showmeyourknits #wip edition ... but I think today still counts!

My current WIP is a new shawl that I'm designing with a few skeins from my very first collection of hand-dyed yarn (which I just released this week)!

It's #wipwednesday ... and I'm getting ready to roll up a new skein of yarn.

The best part about this yarn? It's some hand-dyed that my better half made!

Another cowl for #showmeyourknits! I made this a couple years ago, but this is the Atomic Robin Hood cowl. It's reversible brioche and it has cute buttons on both sides, so in a pinch it can be opened up and worn as a tiny shawl!

I hear it's cowl week for #showmeyourknits, and even though I don't wear them very often, I have knit a few.

This is the Maine Mosaic Cowl, knit for my husband using some of his handspun (blue/green) and some chunky stash yarn!

It's purple week for #showmeyourknits. This knit is from two years ago. I haven't worn it yet this year, but I'm feeling inspired to pull it back out!

Finally got another #FO on the blocking mat for #finishedobjectfriday!

This photo was taken before blocking, and I haven't sewn on the buttons yet, but I can't wait for the pattern to release!

Released a new pattern!

The Lake Effect Shawl was a collab with my local yarn store, Oliver's Originals, using their new yarn line, Lake Effect. The purpose of the shawl is to celebrate LYS day and encourages makers to pick out local yarn for your own shawl!

I had to come over here and share some love and happy vibes:

My husband spun me yarn on a 3-D printed dealgan spindle. 😍

This week's #showmeyourknits is a tough one! I almost never use chunky yarn ... but I do have two projects that I can show off from last year. Both knit using Chibi Paka Chunky from Ikigai Fiber: Sunde Winter Sweater by novemberknits and modified Terrazzo Slipover by petiteknit.

It's #fofriday and this week's finished object is a sample knit of the Autumn Alpine sweater by Caitlin Hunter.

I worked it up for Pam Powers in her Paka Washi Ikigai Fiber. If you're at Nash Fiber Fest this month, be sure to check out her booth!

Looks like I washed these just in time for sock week!

I need a better drying system. 🧶

It's lace week for #showmeyourknits ... and I feel the urge to knit another gradient lace dress or skirt coming on!

My needles are almost free to start a new project! 🧶

This gorgeous yarn is about to become a sample of the Ashburn shawl by Melanie Berg showcasing Primo Fingering by @pluckyknitter.bsky.social

Who else loves this color combo?

Happy Fiber Friends Day for the #fiberuarychallenge!

Yesterday, I stopped by Oliver's Originals in Manlius, NY to collab with Shannon, the owner. She just released a new line of her own yarn called "Lake Effect," and I'm going to use it to design an LYS day pattern!

More info soon! 🧶

It's reading/watching day for the #fiberuarychallenge ... and so far today, I haven't read or watched anything yet. I was busy finishing up and blocking a sample knit.

But I'm about to cast on another, and I'll probably watch Father Brown while I do!

Today's theme is "love" for both #fiberuarychallenge and #showmeyourknitting ... and my current WIP is the perfect color!

This is a sample knit of the Maritime Tee by Coco Amour Knitwear for Ikigai Fiber ... and the colors are perfect for today.

I can't wait to show it off when it's finished!

Today's "unfinished business" for the #fiberuarychallenge is this Basketweave Bolero I made for a collab with Hobbii Yarns.

It's technically finished, but the weather needs to hold out just long enough for me to get some nice pattern photos.

Definitely looking forward to spring!

It's texture day for the #fiberuarychallenge and I had to scroll through my old projects to find these gems!

They are the Atomic Robin Hood Marion Mitts, and they feature a gorgeous stitch from the Japanese Knitting Bible, plus a neat basketweave slip stitch on the palms!

It's Sunday Funday for #fiberuarychallenge and I just got home from yarn club.

Now I'm curled up on the couch working on this new shawl design for Hobbii while it snows outside! 🧶❄️
