Learning these stitches is so much fun!

#texture #knitting #fiberarts #artsandcrafts
Four squares of knitted yarn are shown - each with a different texture. The front-most square is light purple with raised vertical stitches. The second is light purple with a raised diamond pattern, each diamond consisting of two parallel rows of raised stitches - a diamond within each larger diamond. The third is sea foam green with a rough, regular raised pattern. The fourth has a raised pattern of squares - offset in the way that bricks are rather than in straight vertical rows.

Little ankle warmers requested by a friend. This color combo reminds me of a squash blossom.

A square of knitted fabric is in the foreground. There are ribs along the bottom of the piece, the rest is knit in a rough pattern using a stitch called “moss stitch.” The bottom two-thirds of the piece is bright, light green and the top third is a bright, light orange.

What a fantastic idea! I make a variety of crafts whenever I’m able: knitting, collage, basket weaving, embroidery... I’m based in Pittsburgh, PA and I’m mostly home-bound. I’ve only ever made things for myself or for friends, but would definitely be open to giving wares to someone to market.

Trying out new stitches - like this Kind Charlie brocade. Thanks to @auntiecreebs.bsky.social for the amazing book!

A few inches of a new knitting project is displayed at the top of the photo. It is made of light purple yarn, and the varying stitches in the project create a diamond pattern. The project is set atop a book depicting the instructions to create this stitched pattern. The books pages are white, and there is a small, square photo within the book of the pattern stitched in blue yarn.

Hot cocoa cookies with peppermint marshmallow filling!
About nine circular cookies are arranged on parchment paper, with the camera angled to view the two front cookies most clearly and the others fading and blurring gradually. The cookies are dark brown and are mostly covered in an even darker brown, shiny chocolate coating. The cookies and the parchment paper are scattered with red, green, and white sprinkles in various shapes - including red candy canes, green trees, white snowflakes, and small stars circles of various sizes.

Progress photo of my latest knitting project!

A partially knit sweater on top of a brown blanket. The sweater is dark blue with a large, white snowflake with lighter blue embellishments. The top of the piece (what will be the collar) has been made with the “seed stitch” which has a consistent bumpy pattern - like a checkerboard of bumps and depressions.

Newest completed knitting project. What next??

A grey, long-haired cat with gold eyes looks at the camera. She is wearing a white sweater that has red trim and a Christmas tree on it. The Christmas tree has multicolored ornaments and a yellow start at the top. A grey, long-haired cat wears a white sweater that has red trim and a Christmas tree on it.

Pistachio pudding cake for a friend’s birthday
A round, two layer cake sits on top of a white platter. There is white frosting visible on top. The sides are covered in chopped pistachios and there are a few whole pistachios on top.

Knitting project progress shot
Progress shot of a knitting project. It is a Yuletide sweater for one of my cats. It has a dark red collar, white background for the body, and the beginnings of a dark green Yule tree.
