This week's prompt is lace - my favourite type of knitting. (aside from the bits that make me swear) #ShowMeYourKnits #skyKnits 🧶
Yellow lace knit shawl border with crystal beads pinned out to block. A russet beaded shawl with a leaf motif folded on a table. There is a little wooden bird and a glass heart ornament sat behind it. A bright orange knitted silk lace shawl displayed on a mannequin.

#2025FrogOrFinish - have spent a couple of days getting all my WIPs together and making a decision on whether I frog or finish. Some of them I've borrowed the needles from and not kept notes....so some detective work will be necessary. It's going to be a very busy year!! #knitsky 🧶
A grid of photos showing 44 knitting projects in progress. Some just need arms, some need a lot of work, some I've decided to frog. They range from about 5 years old through to a couple of months.

#ShowMeYourKnits - WIVLP (work in very long progress) - I'm guessing this has been on the needles in this state for three or four years now. Will get it finished this year. #2025FrogOrFinish #SkyKnits 🧶
Golden brown tweed sweater in progress. One and a half arms left to knit. Displayed on a mannequin.

Yep. I'd be lost without them now. (although mine are just scoubidou cords bought as a job lot) they're just the best thing and make life so much easier. My current view:

Even with glasses I have such difficulty seeing the size on shiny needles....I've taken to photographing them and then zooming in to work out what I'm knitting with 🧐 I regret all those times I laughed at my nana with her magnifying glass now. 🧶 #showmeyourknits #knitting #rainbow
A multicoloured pile of knitting with a pair of 3.7mm shiny metal needles.

One of the great 'joys' of knitting..... I had to build myself up to sewing in some ends.
A pile of yarn strands in many colours, and a wool needle. Out of shot there is a slight sense of smugness that my ends are now sewn in before I've reached the end of my sweater.

Laceweight beaded shawl from the year I decided I'd challenge myself to knit something based on the pantone colours each and every year. This challenge lasted for approximately one year 🤣 #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶
A collage of images of a pale grey and gold hand knit laceweight triangular shawl - beaded with Czech fire polished beads in clear crystal with an AB coating.

Knits From the Archive: Knit in undyed and naturally dyed BFL yarn from SkeinHeroine. A modded Mustard and Slate pattern from Susanne Visch. One of my favourite shawls. 🧶 #showMeYourKnits #knitsFromTheArchive

A second run at the painting Bricks sweater (in the finish not the Frog pile). The back colour-change seam still annoys me but the front is mighty pretty. #ShowMeYourKnits #2025FrogOrFinish #Ravelry #Knit 🧶
A half finished sweater yoke on a dressmakers mannequin. Deep grey main colour with shades of red and orange.

A new pair of socks on the needles.... yes, they are pretty bright! #showmeyourknits #knitting #ravelry 🧶
A handknit top down sock in progress. Day-glo pink and green 4 row stripes with a pink cuff. About 20 rows until I start the heel flap.

The first WIP in my Frog or Finish extravaganza.
I WILL make these, the pattern is gorgeous, the yarn is lovely... but somehow having them part done for over a year was causing me a mental block.
And now they're yarn again I'm already more excited about the prospect of knitting them. #knits 🧶
Red, white, and turquoise mini skeins and a pile of wiggly frogged yarn that used to be half a colour work sock. Together with a Ravelry photograph of the Woodland Joy sock pattern that they once were, and one day will become again.
