With everything going on in the world, I recently had the urge to cast on a pair of socks inspired by the Ukrainian flag. So here they are.

I love designing and knitting lace. For #ShowMeYourKnits, here is my Farnsfield stole modelled by my good friend @susancrawfordvint.bsky.social - the Farnsfield pattern is available from me at payhip.com/b/ri1qp or from Susan with optional yarn kits at susancrawfordvintage.com/search?q=far...

What I am referring too is see through like this.

For #ShowMeYourKnits here is an Orchidaceae lace yoke jumper in progress. Pattern by Susan Crawford. I have a limited amount of the blue yarn I hand dyed myself, so planning contrast cuffs and welts, and will work these and part of the body top down to make best use of available yarn.

Progress on my Supernova wall hanging. The centre is now quilted, just the outer sections to go and then binding. Quilt is an improv work in progress. Based on a Threadhouse Academy class by @joaverystitch.bsky.social

I have just finished knitting this laceweight top, which had stripes as I was a little short of yarn so just right for #ShowMeYourKnits . The pattern is Blouse with a Gathered Neckline from Susan Crawford's A Stitch in Time volume 2 revised. 🧶

Sharing these Well Rooted fingerless mitts for #ShowMeYourKnits cables. I designed them some years ago,and have always loved how they turned out. Pattern available in my PayHip store, payhip.com/b/tqKy

Very recently finished this wall hanging quilt. It uses the setting Sarah Fielke produced for Aurifil Labs 2, but I appliqued and embroidered flowers adapted from Jo Avery's Dream Flowers collection instead of hearts. Had great fun at all stages making this. 🧶

I recently finished knitting these fingerless mitts from yarn gifted me for Christmas some years ago. Used the basic mitts recipe from @kateatherley.bsky.social Knit Mitts book, adding cuffs to hand and thumb which can be unfolded when I need more warmth. 🧶

Thought it was about time I shared some knitting. So here is a partly knitted sock. I've just got past the heel turn, picked up the gusset stitches and started the gusset decreases. 🧶 #knitting

Here is one so you get a smile too. Herdwick sheep are a rare breed in the UK and protected, and are very cute in real life with dark bodies and white faces.

I've just finished this foundation paper pieced wall hanging. The design is one produced for Aurifil Labs 2.

Latest sewing project, part of the Aurifil Labs series. A cushion cover with needle turn applique, crewel work embellishment and big stitch quilting. Really enjoyed making this.

I've been doing some patchwork and quilting over the last few weeks. It's been a slow project, but I finally finished hand finishing the binding last night.
