#ShowMeYourKnits I'm a huge fan of Elizabeth Doherty, AKA Blue Bee Studio. I've really refined some of my techniques from knitting her exquisitely detailed, beautifully written patterns, and her top-down sweaters have added stability in the shoulder area, which I really appreciate.

#ShowMeYourKnits When I saw the "horror story" prompt, this sweater immediately leapt to mind. When it came out in 2007, my daughter just HAD to have it. I gritted my teeth--intarsia isn't my favorite thing--and cast on. From about the waist up, none of the numbers were right. 1/

#ShowMeYourKnits Three protest hats in the spirit of No Kings. A pussy hat, a brain hat, and one that needs some explanation.

#ShowMeYourKnits I thought I was out of luck for Spooky week, but I did make this skull-and-crossed knitting needle scarf for my Goth/pirate-loving/knitter daughter. Link in alt.

#ShowMeYourKnits I've knit for Wool-Aid, a group that sends wool knitwear to school kids in some of the coldest areas of the world. I like it because it's for kids, it has to be wool, and they take any kind of project. Wool Aid Ravelry link in comments.

#ShowMeYourKnits Does cranberry count as a fall color? It's my go-to in the fall, since I look sick in oranges. If it counts, here's one more: Alice Starmore's Grapevine cardigan, in her Bainin yarn. And the grapes make it harvest-y.

#ShowMeYourKnits I did a cowl for my sister recently, but other than that I have to go to the Wayback Machine for fall colors. The little girl in the sweater is now 41." Details in alt.

#ShowMeYourKnits I do more cowls these days, because they stay put. But here are some scarves from the Wayback Machine. Some weird yarns--one in linen/cotton paper, and another in silk/stainless steel! Details in alt.

#ShowMeYourKnits, WIPs week. A Box Top Cardigan in Soft Donegal, joined up, with pockets installed; and a vanilla sock in West Yorkshire Spinners sock yarn for social knitting. Clearly I need to cast on something else! Two projects just aren't enough!

#ShowMeYourKnits Odd you should mention stripes--I just finished the shawl last night! Plus a couple of sweaters and my favorite self-striping socks.

#ShowMeYourKnits Living in the Southwest, I have quite a few summer sweaters. These are the current favorites--details in Alt. As to yarns, I love Berroco Ultra Pima and DanDoh Linen--the perfect yarn for people who hate knitting with linen.
