I rarely crochet, but when I do, it tends to hook me completely and I can't put the project down.

Quality control approves. 🧶🐈

This image showcases a beautifully hand-knitted baby cardigan in a soft, muted sage green color. The sweater features a delicate ruffled hem, adding a charming and elegant touch. The design includes long sleeves with a subtle rolled edge, providing both warmth and comfort. The cardigan has a raglan-style yoke, which creates a seamless and well-fitted look. A row of small, intricately designed buttons runs down the back, serving as both a functional and decorative element. These buttons stand out with their floral patterns, complementing the overall delicate aesthetic of the garment. The knitting is done in a fine stockinette stitch, giving the cardigan a smooth and even texture. The backdrop is a rustic, weathered wooden surface, which contrasts nicely with the soft texture of the knitwear, making the cardigan the focal point of the image. The overall feel of the sweater is cozy, timeless, and perfect for a baby’s wardrobe. This close-up image highlights the exquisite details of a hand-knitted baby cardigan in a soft sage green color. The fine stockinette stitch creates a smooth and uniform texture, showcasing the craftsmanship behind the piece. The ruffled hem, made with delicate gathers, adds a touch of elegance and charm, enhancing the overall design. Two decorative buttons are prominently featured, each adorned with a floral motif in warm hues, contrasting beautifully against the cool green fabric. The buttons are securely sewn along the button band, which is neatly finished with evenly spaced buttonholes. The garter stitch edging along the hem and button band adds subtle texture and ensures durability. The combination of intricate detailing, soft yarn, and expertly executed knitting makes this garment both stylish and functional, perfect for a little one’s wardrobe.

As much as you love them, trying to photograph knitwear in a house with pets 🐕🐈 is always a struggle. 🫣😁

#knitting #knitsky #knittedsocks
This photo humorously captures the struggle of keeping clothing hair-free in a pet-friendly home. It features a close-up shot of a cozy, hand-knitted sock in red and purple tones, worn by someone lifting their foot for the camera. The sock, despite its beautiful pattern, is covered in stray pet hairs—both cat and dog fur—highlighted with labeled text pointing them out. The overlaid caption reads: "When you try to photograph socks in a household with pets. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️" The setting appears to be a cozy indoor space, with a wooden floor and a background featuring a radiator, a window with curtains, and some household items. The image playfully captures the reality of pet owners, where no piece of clothing is truly free from pet hair, no matter how much effort is put into cleaning.

One of my favourite (self-made) patterns to date is the Mayfair mittens. A joy to knit and fun to wear. ❤️🧶 #knitting #knitsky #mayfairmittens
The image shows a person standing outdoors in a winter setting, wearing a dark green puffer jacket and a pair of soft, hand-knit pink mittens. The mittens have a delicate texture with a slight fuzziness due to the combination of mohair and wool used, and feature a subtle, intricate lace pattern in the knitting. The person's arms are crossed, hands resting gently on top of each other, suggesting warmth and comfort against the cold weather. The snowy ground in the background reinforces the winter atmosphere, adding to the cozy and serene feel of the image. In this image, a person dressed in a dark teal puffer jacket stands in a snowy outdoor setting, holding out their hands to showcase a pair of beautifully knit pink mittens. The mittens appear soft and fuzzy, with a delicate texture and a subtle stitch pattern. Their pale pink hue contrasts gently against the dark jacket, drawing attention to the craftsmanship of the knitwear. The background consists of snow-covered ground and patches of ice, reinforcing the wintery atmosphere. The person's posture, with hands slightly cupped and fingers covered snugly, conveys a sense of warmth and comfort amidst the cold. In this photograph, a person is seen wearing a dark teal puffer jacket with a quilted design, ideal for cold weather. Their hands are covered in a pair of white hand knitted mittens featuring an intricate lace pattern allowing glimpses of the skin underneath. The mittens are handmade, with soft, fuzzy fibers visible along the edges. The person has their hands clasped together. The background consists of a snowy outdoor setting.
