All things knitting! 🧶 I create patterns, knit & dye yarn. My day job is scientist and professor - hence the DNA mittens I designed and knit. I advise my college knit/crochet club. Find my designs on Ravelry: https://ravel.me/escher-checker-blocks-scarf
Cables! Here’s my latest cable projects. Neck warmer (free pattern on Ravelry) and a cable sweater with fingerless mitt sleeves I designed and knit for my daughter.

Knit-in at the peaceful Portland protest. There’s mutual aid hotdog stand & lots of folks holding placards on each corner. As ICE vehicles enter & exit the crowd would holler “Quit your job!”.
To our neighbors who are being kidnapped and terrorized by ICE I say, No estás solo, you are not alone.💪🏽 🧶

I’m planning travel to war torn Portland to see my partner’s stupendous ska band Mister Blank. I struggle to decide on provisions & anti-fascist uniform. So far, my #knit #WIP, books from Powell’s & sustenance in local org yogurt & gluten free granola
What costume to wear from which I can knit?🦄 🐸🧶

Baby sweater knitting is underway for a dear friend. This is the Gerbera pattern, free on Ravelry. Yarn is CamaRose Økologist Summeruld, an organic cotton and merino wool blend. 🧶 #WIP I made lots of changes/improvements to the pattern in my Ravelry notes. #knitting ravel.me/huprice/3bdequ

It’s #WIP week! Working on a cable sweater design with and for my daughter. Been fun to design this with her input. Will be long sleeved with the cable detail continued down the arms when done. 🧶 #knit #ShowMeYourKnits

Such a fun weekend at Seattle’s Flock Fiber Festival. The botanical dyed bandana and double knitting classes were super informative and fun. Double knitting was/is a challenge but excited to have a new knit skill. 🧶

#WIPWednesday Breaking out the crochet hook to fix my neckline. Only 20 more rows to redo! It probably would have been quicker to unravel from the top, but I didn’t want to risk messing up my short rows or lace 🧶 #knitsky #knit #crochet

Beautiful day for knitting and white water rafting. #ShowMeYourKnits WIP week this Memorial Day weekend. Working on the Breezy Tee using lovely locally dyed yarn. Shortly after these pics were the first rapids and my work went safely into my dry bag. 🧶 🌊

Woohoo for #WIPwednesday What’s your vote? I can’t decide between the plum vs sea foam for the i-cord neck, sleeves, and waist edging. This will eventually be a “Breezy Tee” using local hand dyed wool from the Acorn Street Shop in Seattle. 🧶

What luck! Purple for #ShoeMeYourKnits I just knit these purple fingerless mittens and a matching beanie for my friend to keep her cozy during chemo sessions. Yummy latte courtesy of my barista daughter.

Cardigans for #ShowMeYourKnits - what fun! Here’s one of the first and favorite cardigans I knit. It’s the Field Cardigan by Camilla Vad knit with Hikoo’s Simpli Cria Alpaca. It’s a flat knit (no steeking) and this yarn feels like I’m wearing a cloud.

I found a nice introduction to knitting color work flat was knitting these Nordic slippers. The heel is knit flat, then knit in the round from arch to toes. Dark blue pattern is very well written in The Nordic Knitting Primer by K Drysdale. 🧶

Had so much fun knitting this cardigan with @skagitwoolen.bsky.social yarn and can’t wait to knit another rainbow yoke sweater with the remaining colors. Followed the Dreyma pattern knitting the body flat, sleeves in the round, with button band following the Field cardigan pattern. No steek needed 🧶

WIP for this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits is Steingass’s Dreyma pattern I’m knitting flat for a cardigan with a rainbow 🌈 yoke. Color work knit flat was tedious but worth it to avoid steeking and to get the button band I want. Yarn is 100% Romney sport from 🧶@skagitwoolen.bsky.social
