I took a break from social media for most of the last month. It’s been an interesting experiment. I have read more, gardened a lot, and spent some quality time with my husband. But I had to come here to show off my haul from the Great Lakes Fiber Show today to my #knitsky peeps. 🥰🧶

The #ShowMeYourKnits prompt this week is green. Despite green being my son’s favorite color, I haven’t made much in green. But here’s the hat I made for him for Christmas a few years ago, my first colorwork sweater, and the sock I finished yesterday. 🧶💚

@summerlee.bsky.social’s patterns are really fun! I love this book she put out last year.

Best piece of advice I found for colorwork preparation is to take a photo of your yarn choices next to each other and then convert the photo to black & white. Sometimes our eyes trick us into thinking the colors are higher contrast than they actually are.

Gusset is completed and now we’re in endless stockinette territory. It’s going tea fast, though!

The #ShowMeYourKnits prompt this week is CHONKY! I love a good chunky weight yarn. My first colorwork sweater was in chunky, as is my favorite cowl for super cold days, and a sweet baby bear hat I made from the leftovers. 🧶🥰

I have made two of these bags in Noro Kureyon yarn. They were lots of fun to make!

I’m knitting my second pair of socks, first in sock weight instead of DK. The heel turn feels like magic, and it’s fun to say “heel flap.” 😂 I stayed away from socks because I hate DPNs. Got ChiaoGoo shorties, and now I’m all about socks! 🥰🧶🧦

We watched Murdoch Mysteries, and I had a long text exchange with my bestie while knitting a shawl I started on Election Day when I still had hope…

Come to think of it, I just received this in a monthly subscription box. This might be going on the needles today. ❤️🧦🧶

My first socks, finished on Friday. Mistakes were definitely made, lots of learning took place. And they make perfectly lovely bed socks. 🥰🧶

I picked up a copy of The Sock Project by @summerlee.bsky.social yesterday, and now I’m inspired to go totally nuts and do an afterthought heel in red on my second (first in fingering weight) pair of socks. I mean, how else am I going to learn? 😁😬❤️🧶🧦

I love knitting hats! What did you have in mind?

What a coincidence that this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits prompt is socks—I finished my first pair yesterday and cast on my second pair last night! 😁🧶🧦
Socks have been on my mind a lot lately. I’m looking forward to adding to my collection. ❤️

I cast on a new pair of socks because the news sickened me today. I needed to escape into pretty yarn and mindless ribbing for a while. 🇺🇦❤️🧶

Second sock completed! I made fewer mistakes on this one—and even made the effort to fix the ones I did. I didn’t keep track of my rows on the foot, and apparently my measurements were off a bit, so the second one is a little bit longer than the first. I don’t even care, though! 🥰😁🧦❤️

Just received my subscription “The Art of the Louvre” from Laughing Cat Fibers. Colorway is called “The Swing,” based on the painting by Jean-Honoré Fragonard. The photo doesn’t do it justice. 🥰🧶

It’s similar in Ohio right now. This is the time of year when we have 60° one day and a foot of snow the next. 🤷♀️
