Re-casting on the Fiona Sweater by Vicky Chan while watching one of my favourite youtube knitting podcast, @happyknittingpod.bsky.social - what an epic sweater she's wearing today!

I will never not be in awe of falling snow. Watching out the kitchen window while I prep my latest dough; its a beautiful sight.

I'm still sick but seeing this always brightens my mood 😊

#Knitting 🧶 and #breadmaking 🍞 ! I'm casting on a reknit of my previously frogged Stockholm Sweater v neck, same yarn but a few sizes smaller. Wore the sweater for 6 months, loved it, but it just didn't fit as nicely as it could. So here we go. #knitsky #whatsonmyneedles #reknit #stockholmsweater

Woke up sick 🤒 so it's a day of couch knitting 🧶 (was going to be anyway). I'm reknitting the sleeves on this Brick sweater in Lettlopi. I knit 3/4 sleeves initially, which looked cute but made no sense with such warm yarn. Going to add length too. #knitting #lettlopi #knitsky #whatsonmyneedles

I really got into bread making in 2025, which I'm continuing in 2026 with my first olive ciabatta loaves. Loving how they've turned out, in looks at least. Taste test has to wait a little longer. #bread #breadmaking #ciabatta #baking #homebaking #smellsgreat #homemadebread

Knitters of #knitsky! I need your help, especially those in #spain, or who have been there in winter (or whoever has an opinion really). Does it get cold enough in winter to wear sweaters? A friends is having a baby and I would LOVE to knit one of these gorgeous sweaters. Thoughts? #knitting #help 🧶

I frogged it back to the underarm join 😑 With adjusting to my proportions I forgot to add extra stitches under the arm. So a weeks worth of knitting is no more. #knitting #deepwintercoat #knitsky #cables #knittingpodcast #breien #ripitripit 🧶

This Deep Winter Coat is knitting up SO fast - Drops Nepal held double on 8mm needles does that I guess! Love the look so far. #knitting #cardigan #coat #deepwintercoat #woolandpine #yarn #netherlands #breien

Starting the 2+ hrs travel to Nijkerk for the #breidag (knitting day), a knitting/yarn market. Good company, a good book and a new sock on the needles will make the travel pass nicely. Excited, but have zero plans on what I will/wont buy 😬

I really pushed this bobbin to its limits 😍. A bit of blauwe texelaar hand spun, 2 ply. I'm still very new to spinning, but I'm happy with my progress.

I made bread today. This uses the discard from my sourdough starter (200g discard, 400g (bread) flour, 200g water) in place of the eqv. flour and water, along with instant yeast. Love using discard this way.

My one and only 'baby' knit for #ShowMeYourKnits, a present for a colleague's new born and the baby's big brother. Apparently they were a hit! Rabbit designs by Julie Williams.

🧶 Knitting the #rockhoundpullover by @woolandpine.bsky.social. Had to fix a mistake I made approx 10 rows down across 7 stitches in pattern. Glad to have my fav @happyknittingpod.bsky.social and Creabea podcasts to keep me sane. All fixed and ready to continue!
