For this week's coloured work or holiday theme, I give you my oldest's stocking. I planned to make one for everyone in the family but I messed up the bottom of this one, somehow, and always meant to go back to them. Maybe a 2026 project 💙🧶

Cables this week for #showmeyourknits!
Got a cup cozy, owls from a sleep sack that was gifted many years ago, some mittens I did as my first time testing a pattern (by Mountaintop Yarns), and a hat I shared already but it's one of my favorite FOs 💙🧶 #knit #knitsky

Honestly, this week's theme really works out. Got me to look through and see who might need a new hat for this winter

Made this bear for my friend's baby when she was born 6 years ago. It was one of the first animals I made & I'm happy to know it has been a loved thing. Going to attempt some surgery to repair it after a run-in with their new pup. Won't be the same but still loveable, hopefully 💙🧶 🧸

Maybe not the greatest picture, but my first cable knit was a hat for my mother in law during her first round of chemo

This yarn was dyed using avocado pits (in 2021?). I still haven't figured out what I want to use it for. I'll find the perfect pattern someday but learning this process and the outcome gave me so much joy 🧶💙

That time my almost 2 (at the time) year old thought it'd be fun if I wore all of my scarfs. Blue one in the center has been my go to since I made it a decade of so ago 🧶💙

I've only made 2 or 3 sweaters in the 15ish years I've been knitting. They aren't really the kind that people get excited to see online. Basic, grey toned, everyday pieces I knew we'd wear. But I did get the chance to make this one for a friend's pup this past winter 💙

For #showmeyourknits baby week. I've made so many things for the kids but these are a couple from when I was pregnant with each. A bunny lovey and sweater for the now 1.5 year old and a bear hat and blanket gifted to our oldest more than 5 years ago 💙🧶

Made a replacement gallbladder for a friend when her original had to be forcibly removed for poor behavior. Hope her new friend is much more kind, if not a bit wonky 🧶💙

Finished and gifted months ago, with some fringe on the bottom, and forgot to post. Really enjoyed making it. Adding more tapestry patterns to my list.
Took me 21.5 hours to complete. Tissue box for scale.
