30s she/her, loves cats, knitting, spinning, aerial, math, gay stuff. Minnesota based for now.
I finished my farmhouse cardigan!!!! Well, it’s now damp and drying and then I need to add buttons, but it’s mostly finished! I’m so glad I pressed on and kept knitting bc it looks fantastic! I didn’t even run out of yarn (which was a concern) I’m so happy with the look and fit! #knitting #knitsky 🧶

Freshly knitted socks! This is my second pair ever! I did an afterthought heel! I’m so proud of them! #knitting #sockknitting #knitsky 🧶

Okay so here’s what I was worried about. Now that I’ve joined the body and sleeves and started the raglan, there is a stark difference in the stripe pattern where the sleeve joins. But you know what. It’s still cute. I’m not as bothered as I thought I’d be. #knitting #knitsky 🧶

Side by side comparison of my handspun yarns. Each came from a 4oz braid. 91 yds, 262 yds, 760 yds. So rewarding to see my progress! #spinning #handspun 🧶

Joined the body and sleeves. I think it’s cute but I’m also having the urge to frog the whole thing and use the yarn for something else. #knitting #knitsky 🧶

Look at this gorgeous yarn! 760 yards of 2-ply and it is still soft! The fiber is Targhee, dyed by a local Minnesota dyer, Honeygold acres. I’m so proud of this yarn! #spinning #handspun 🧶

After knitting exactly one sock with these new chiaogoo US size 0 (2mm) stainless steel needles, one of the needles is bent! Has anyone ever seen something like this before? I am fairly sure I did not step on them, so I think I bent them with the sheer power of my knitting! #knitting #knitsky 🧶

Joined my last dragon egg of Noro Ito. 3 more inches of body to knit before I join the sleeves! My cat jumped in the photo at the last second! #knitting #knitsky 🧶

I learned how to use a plying bracelet to finish off this yarn! #spinning #handspun #knitsky 🧶

Now that’s what I call a full bobbin! #spinning #handspun #knitsky 🧶 Last night I finished plying my first yarn of 2025! The fiber is US Targhee, dyed at a local Minnesota dyer.

Knee lock! From tonight’s class. The last time we did this skill, it was so hard for me! Nice to see progress! #aerialarts #aerialsilks

Y’all! Look at this! My housemate MADE this! I’m flabbergasted! I casually mentioned I needed a swift and she MADE one out of #woodworking scraps! The most expensive part was 6 bucks! Isn’t this the coolest thing you’ve ever seen! Wow! #knitting #knitsky #yarn 🧶 @willowteatree.bsky.social

Looks like I stopped posting on Bluesky before i finished this sweater in late April 2024. Since I’m back, the sweater has gotten some attention as one of my most recent posts, so for anyone wondering, here is the finished sweater, she is gorgeous! #knitting #knitsky 🧶

I have been doing aerial silks and hoop for about two years! I would love to connect! #aerial #aerialarts #aerialists

Sweater update: trying magic loop on the sleeve because I’ve always hated dpns. My cat is helping! 🧶🐱🐈

Sweater update: I’ve knitted the body to the pattern length (minus the ribbing) I’m putting off the decision whether to stop or make it longer and moving onto the sleeves for now. I’m really happy with how it fits so far, I think it looks really good!🧶

I have divided for sleeves, then knit about an inch of the body, and tried it on last night! It looks so good I’m so excited! This is the Lunenburg Pullover by Amy Christoffers, my main color is Rauma Tumi, and the four contrasting colors are Rauma Finull. 🧶

Finished the colorwork for my lunenburg pullover! It’s all blue from here on out! 🧶

My most recent finished project is the Alpine Bloom hat by Caitlin Hunter! It turned out slightly too tall so I wear as a slouchy-ish hat and try to make it look intentional! 🧶 for Craftiverse feed!

WIP Wednesday! This is the lunenburg pullover by Amy Christoffers knit with main color in Rauma Tumi and 4 contrasting colors in Rauma Finull, and two of the contrasting colors are leftover yarn from another project! I’m so happy with how this project is going so far!!! 🧶
