WIP Wednesday 🧦
I’ve been splitting my knitting time between two fun projects.

First up is Bright Axis by @tellybeanknits.bsky.social, knit in my self-striping Feline colorway. 🐾

The second sneak peek is a brand-new colorway! For now I’m only showing it in black + white (gotta keep some mystery)

A short sleeve knit top in the works. The body is a tonal dark gray and the chest is a striping colorway of grays and browns.
