I love yellow! Especially for winter knits. Winter is sooooo gloomy where I live, so I like my winter wear to be Sunshine. This is the Dragonfly Hat by Joji Locatelli, knit with Rose Hill Yarns DK merino. #showmeyourknits #canadianknitter #rosehillyarn #jojilocatelli #winterhater
A head shot of lovely young woman standing in profile. She is modelling a mustard yellow toque (beanie) with a ribbed brim. The body of the hat is knit using cables and lace to resemble large dragonfly wings, which encircle the hat.

Most of my knits end up being gifts. Maybe I’m a weirdo, but I usually have guilt if I am knitting something for myself. This is something I am working on. In the meantime, here is a Like a Cloud Cardigan I made for my husband’s aunt. #showmeyourknits #giftknitting #knitsky
A woman is standing in a fenced yard in early autumn. She is modelling a textured cardigan that is beige, lightly speckled with shades of minty green. The texture almost gives the appearance of tiny “bubbled” areas. There is 2x2 ribbing on the sleeve cuffs and on the body; it measures about 4 inches in both places. The pattern is Like a Cloud by Joji Locatelli, and the yarn is a lace-weight wool held together with a lace-weight mohair.

I am not super proficient at colour work, but I did manage to pull these off. #showmeyourknits #colourwork
A pair of mittens side by side, palms down, thumbs facing each other, are displayed on a white surface. The mittens are black, each with a red dragon on it. The tail of the dragons continue around to the other side of the mittens. Two mittens, palms up, are displayed on a white surface. The mittens are black, and each has the tail of a dragon on it.

A lovely pattern by Joji Locatelli knit in a glorious shade of green, dyed by Sea Turtle Fibre Arts. #showmeyourknits #knittersofbluesky #canadianknitters
A young woman stands outdoors with her back to the camera. Between her outstretched arms, resting across her back, she holds a deep green knitted shawl. The crescent-shaped shawl alternates panels of garter stitch and open lace.

One time I was knitting a sock and I put my glasses down without looking and then this happened. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #sockknitting
A partially knit sock in red, maroon, and yellow striped yarn lies on a blanket with the open end facing the camera. On top of the sock is an open pair of reading glasses, making it appear as though the sock has eyes and a mouth.

Book Mail is Happy Mail! Even better when the books are mysteries that involve yarn shops. Also, sweet Ogilvy in his adorable knitted sweater/dress is on a couple of banned book lists. Make it make sense. Anyone? 🤦🏻‍♀️

A pile of new books is displayed on a carpeted floor: the first two novels in Hannah Nicole Maehrer’s Assistant to the Villain series, and three knit shop novels by Allie Pleiter - On Skein of Death, Knit or Dye Trying, and It Came Upon a Midnight Shear. Front and centre is a children’s picture book titled Ogilvy, written by Deborah Underwood and illustrated by T.L. McBeth. The book’s cover is blue and depicts a white cartoon bunny wearing a knitted sweater. The photo is of a page in Olgilvy: a row of cartoon bunnies, all wearing different coloured knitted sweater or dresses.

Lace knitting is my favourite kind of knitting. This is Hitofude by Hiroko Fukatsu. #showmeyourknits #knitsky
A young woman faces away from the camera. Her arms are held out to the side, showing off a grey lace cardigan. The lace is a series of repeating V’s that cover the entire cardigan.

I also like video games. 🎮 My family gifted me a flashback this Christmas. #nes #genx #gaming
An original Nintendo Entertainment System with two original controllers sits on a carpeted floor. Three game cartridges: DuckTales, Faxanadu, and Milon’s Secret Castle lie on the floor in front of it.

While the title suggests I am reading about the current state of affairs in the US, this novel is actually a celebration of Diversity, Inclusion, and even Equality. Basically, the maga-cult would HATE this. Therefore, everyone should read it. Immediately. 📖 #booksky #resistancethroughreading
A beautiful book cover of the novel Voyage of the Damned by France’s White.

I have a Perri.
A little white fluffy dog lays on top of some in-progress knitting, staring sweetly at her owner, hoping for some pets.

Just finished. I have Onxy Storm waiting on my shelf, but I think I need a break? An emotional reprieve. Because, whew. 😥 #booksky

I also like video games. And therefore, video game-themed knitting things make me happy. Like these Animal Crossing stitch markers made by Rabbits in the Roses. 😍@rabbitsintheroses.bsky.social #knitting #animalcrossing #nintendo
A set of four Animal Crossing-themed stitch markers - a green leaf, a recipe card, a fossil, a money bag - are displayed on piece of knitting.

New to BlueSky, so forgive the awkwardness as I figure things out. Mostly, I am a voracious reader, a knitter, and therefore a collector of books and yarn. 📖 🧶 This was my Goal Knit, my “someday when I am skilled enough” knit - Penelope by Rhyflower Knits. #canadianknitter
