Calm is a superpower. Trying to fit as much sewing and knitting into my day as possible. Plus cats, and gardening, and books.

A lot of floof getting ready for a cardigan. I’m inspired by @badylirdknits on IG and her version of the Boxy Raglan Cardi by Joli Locatelli. #showmeyourknits #knitsky

Adorable puppy pics! He very kindly modeled his new jumper. I'm so glad it fits. #Knitsky #Showmeyourknits

Shorts are finished! This pattern is a very generous fit and I had to shorten the elastic a bit on the waist tie. Not something I usually need to do. Very pleased with the set. #garmentsewing #sewsky

Heel & gusset decreases all finished. This the second sock for the pair so I see it being finished this month...hopefully. Gotta get the winter tires put on and that should provide decent uninterrupted knitting time. #knitsky #showmeyourknits
A hand knit sock still on the needles. The ribbing, leg and heel is done. The foot and toe are still to be knit. It's a self stripping yarn in yellow, organic and blue with pink ribbing and heel.

One set of thumb gusset increases done. This Shetland wool is so warm and knits up so smoothly. I might have to make a pair for me when these are finished. #knitsky #showmeyourknits

Well, I tried. I told myself to finish the latest pair of socks for the kid (before he outgrows them) before I started hand warmers for my husband. Oops… 😅

One shirt finished. (Merchant & Mills Winnie pj’s) As always, clear instructions & construction. I squeezed out shorts from the remaining fabric but those will have to wait for the weekend.

There are 5 buttons and a curved camp collar. Close up view of the inner collar. The tag reads “Made in me time”. Close up view of the breast pocket. Close up view of a few of the buttons. The top one is white with a few colorful dots. The others are plain white.

This Merchant & Mills Winnie pyjama top has been cut out for ages. I’m about halfway finished. There was a slight interlude while I unsuccessfully hunted for the cord & foot pedal to my serger. Luckily I could pull out the Husqvarna.

Finished up the doggy sweater yesterday. The pattern, Edinburgh Seamless dog sweater, was very easy to follow.
Hopefully I’ll get it gifted next week and then I’ll get puppy pictures. ☺️ #knitsky #showmeyourknits

Cleaning & organizing the sewing room has produced a bunch of random half finished projects. This little pouch only needed 2 seams done. However, after completing it I realized the zipper stop & pin were missing. Arrggg…it’s an open basket now. #sewsky

I’m ignoring most of the weekend chores to sew. I’ve got acouple of half started quilt tops that need attention. My quality manager stopped by but wasn’t too impressed.

Cooler weather has reminded me to get going on a sweater for a friend’s pup. I’m trying out the Edinburgh seamless dog sweater pattern by CalicoRadio Knits. The Hobbii yarn is very smooth & easy to knit. #knitsky #showmeyourknits

Secret cat pocket finished! I used up the yarn from my swatches. Very pleased with the results. #knitsky
Blue hand knit cardigan with an afterthought pocket. There is an I-cord at the top outside edge. Upside down view of inside the pocket. There is a cat image knit in grey yarn on the back flap of the pocket. It’s hard to get a picture. Another view of the inside of the pocket.

Trying an afterthought pocket in my cardigan. I figured I try a little cat pattern. If it turns out wonky, no one will see it inside the pocket. #knitsky

I feel like I’ve made decent progress. Which is good cause my wrist is cranky & protesting. Do the little ghost needle stops count as spooky? 👻 #showmeyourknits #knitsky #sockknitting
