Charlie, suffering because I have Christmas knitting to do. (Eventually he gave up and slept on my knitting bag.)

This week's theme for #showmeyourknits is Spooky. Last Christmas I made a spider for a friend.

So close to finishing this WIP! Working on the border of Pastille Baby Blanket by Vickie Hartog. Instead of 5 blocks of colors, I did shorter blocks and repeated them. Love how it's turning out. Just a few more rows of border left. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #WIPWednesday 🧶

Purple this week for #showmeyourknits
I don't make much in purple, but here's a pink to purple gradient shawl I made awhile ago.

A triangular shawl with the ends folded down. It is knit in a basket weave pattern with yarn that begins as light pink and deepens to medium purple by the end.

Baby clothes this week for #showmeyourknits. I just finished a baby sweater last week. It is called #FrenchMacaroon by A Noble Thread. It's a free, easy and fun pattern. I know I'll be making more of them.

Casted on the first of three baby gifts. It's the perfect kind of knitting right now, doesn't take too much focus, pretty colors, for deserving recipients, etc. Just what I needed for my sanity.

3 skeins of yarn (2 pink and one multicolored) are in a pile with a few pink rows of knitting on top.
