🧶 #showmeyourknits is show me your wips this week… I have 4 projects on the go: a stitch sampler Mkal x 2 (using different yarns but similar colourways as a bit of a study of fiber), the Emmeline sweater, and a wee bit of Seeking Solace cowl. #knitsky

Actual photo of the long road back to fitness. 😝

I wish I’d spent less time on the coach these last 7 months.

Container gardening when you live near the ocean: seagulls stashing french fries in the pots. They probably think it’s a safe space since my plants (pots of soil that once held life 🤣) are so neglected. This is my year though.🪴 ☀️ 💦 🤞

🧶Happy Easter! Most of my knitting has been gift knitting (this week’s #showmeyourknits prompt) so I’m choosing this one to share. Made for my granddaughter. I was going to give it to her today but I couldn’t wait & I gave it to her in January. Pattern is Little Cotton Rabbits Bunny in a Dotty Dress

For #showmeyourknits Grey, I’m sharing this Half Hap Shawl. Pattern is by Gudrun Johnston and I tackled this after taking a class with her at Knit City Vancouver. Gifted to a friend last Christmas. #knitsky

#showmeyourknits Baby Knits edition

All for the same wee munchkin who started the obsession - from the stripey blanket I started making when I heard she was coming to the wrap sweater I made her for her first birthday. 🥰

🧶 #showmeyourknits colourwork edition:
Three holiday cowls, all knit as part of a mystery knit along. From most recent through to first experience with stranded colour work. I feel like my technique improved with each. A great case for more knitting, less doom scrolling! #knitsky

Fresh off the needles this #sweatersunday

Last fall, my DIL commented to me that her “dream sweater” was an oversized off white cable sweater worn by Rory on The Gilmore Girls. This is my rendition.
