The latest mini skein is my favorite one yet...and yes I've said that for each and every single box opened so far. 😁 Only one more mini to go and I'm hoping for cerulean blue.🤞Love my LYS for putting together an amazing palette as always. 💙🩵💜💚🧶

This one was almost too gorgeous to wind.

Feeling under the weather day, and mustering the motivation to do anything but nap is a challenge.

I've started watching Pluribus while stitching away on the Advent calendar shawl. The colors are so vivid and the cashmere blend so squishy, I can hardly put it down. #wip #knitsky 🧶

Can't stop won't stop opening more boxes of the shawl Advent calendar so I can keep knitting. In my defense, the triangle shape grows a stitch or two longer every two rows. I need all 8 colors to finish the 1st section of stripes before starting the 2nd, much wider, section. 🧶 #knitsky #spoilers 🪨🎁❤️

More from the LYS, kettle dyed scrumptious sock yarn from their one of a kind Advent calendar. It is so much fun to open a new box each day. I've been swapping most days with notions for skeins of yarn when I want to keep knitting the shawl. 🤫 Don't tell Santa!

The last time I picked this project up was weeks ago. Trying to get the newfound obsession with squishy brioche out of my system with little success.

Emma's yarn in a dk weight, colorway is disco. It's going to be a sweater scarf, and I'm about a third to halfway done. #knitsky 🧶

Gardens of Giverny shawl is off the needles, washed, and drying. What a difference blocking makes! The before and after is wild. I gasped when I laid it out on a towel to squeeze dry. 🥰😍🧶 #knitsky So grateful to my LYS for creating these beautiful color ways.

I lost yarn chicken. I wound up using the main color to complete the last 50 stitches of the last row, then I cut the working green yarn and had to rejoin again cause I am center pull all day long always and forever. Only 8 more rows of garter then a picot bind off! #knitsky 🧶

Only one more lace repeat to go for the gardens of Giverny shawl. If my math is right, I'll have enough multicolored yarn with 3 grams leftover, then on to the border in luscious green. To be honest, I don't think I'll make it through the next repeat. 😅🧶 #knitsky

Day 2 progress on the Advent shawl with kettle dyed yarn by my LYS. I was excited when I picked up the kit, then grew nervous the coloring might be all red and green. Why'd I ever doubt their ability to put together a beautiful palette. Those purples! ❤️ Can't wait for the next mini skein. 🧶 #knitsky

Currently on the needles, a Gardens of Giverny shawl with locally dyed yarn by my amazing LYS. Just finished the 13th lace repeat with 3 more to go. I can't wait to see how this squishy cashmere blend blocks out. I'm hoping to finish soon so I can focus on my Advent shawl, also by LYS. 😁 #knitsky 🧶

Brioche hat complete with ends woven. I don't feel like blocking anything yet. Restarted a cotton washcloth early this morning while the house slept cause I can't count with the kiddos are running around. The circular cast on is so satisfying! #knitsky 🧶

Trying out socks on shorties, reminding me of the pair of sock needles my great grandmother owned which were connected by a small metal spring. It takes some getting used to, though I prefer the constant flow compared to double points or magic loop. 🧶#knitsky

Pausing all holiday gift knits to start a pair of socks for me. Yarn is by string theory colorworks. #knitsky 🧶

My second shawl is washed, blocked, and dried. I am amazed at how squishy, soft, and drapey the fabric is after blocking. The photo doesn't even begin to capture the vibrant hot pink 🩷🧶 #knitsky

Now we just need some cold weather. ❄️🌨️

On to the next project!

I'm splashing headfirst into assigned pooling yarn! This pattern is the perfect amount of simple and fun to work while listening to a podcast or audiobook. "Do the fun stitch when you hit the contrast color" is so delightful and makes the project fly. Can't wait to see how this blocks out. 🧶

Finished knitting the front of my sweater today. Winding up yarn to start the back has been more meditative than the cabling. The cumulous yarn is so fluffy, and it tugs at something nostalgic I can't quite name.

I'm pretty sure this is going to be too short, but we'll see what blocking can do!

The heel turn is fast approaching. The slow color change is fun to watch unfold. #knitsky 🧶

The tiny human is happy with the sequins and the color. That is all that matters.

I can't wait to knit these again in the galaxy color I picked for myself, sans sequins. 🧶

Latest yarn haul. I'm so excited to knit these into socks and mittens! 🧶

Please help. The tiny human picked out sequin yarn (top right), and I don't want to use it. Any suggestions on how to work it in as an embellishment while minimizing how much I have to touch it? #knitsky

New socks on the needles. This picture doesn't do the depth of color justice. The yarn is a wool-cotton blend, and it is so smooth to knit. 🧶 #showmeyourknits #wip #knitsky

Does anyone else struggle to practice mindfulness while knitting instead of speeding along at a frantic pace?
April 11, 2025 at 2:46 PM
I hear blocking is magic. Does anyone know if it will untwist the stitches at the toe or close the holes along the heel? Exactly how much magic are we talking? ✨🧶

I plan on making a swatch as part of a sock gift kit so the owner can send it through the wash as a test. #knit

It took me a second pair to figure out but the watercolor sock yarn by Laines Du Nord has a stretch of white in the middle to mark where to start the second one to make an identical pair. The more you know!

Today was a great day for D&D and sock knitting. RIP Sim. 🧶

I tried a German short row heel this time. I love the shape. Are the stitches along the gusset supposed to be raised up like this, or am I twisting stitches?

I'm addicted to socks cause they're so quick and portable. 🧶 🧦

Blocked and drying.

I think I'm giving this one to the tiny human and making a second one for myself. I'm sad it is complete because this pattern was so much fun to knit!

Thanks @joansgarden.bsky.social for a beautiful pattern for my first fair isle project. 🧶🌼🐝
