I am usually knitting, with some crocheting and spinning when I can tear myself away from knitting. I also help out my friend in her hand-dyed yarn business, Kat's Riverside Studio. I'm Aniko on Ravelry.

Just finished this www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... for fall. Yarn 🧶 was a small batch produced from local sheep and no longer available. Gauge was totally different from pattern so just used it as a guide. #showmeyourknits #knitting #knitsky

Working exclusively on this WIP www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... using a discontinued locally produced yarn 🧶 from local sheep. The pattern is just a guide since my gauge is vastly different. Must finish this for Wool day in October at our farmers' market. #knitsky #knitting #showmeyourknits

Also want to finish www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... in super discounted, unlabelled yarn 🧶 which I'm pretty sure is Harrisville Designs Shetland. I changed the pattern to knit from the top down, in the round. #showmeyourknits #knitting #knitsky

This week's #showmeyourknits is stripes. I knit www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... a couple of years ago but didn't really like the collar (always curled up, didn't sit quite right). Took that off and instead purled 4 rows and then bound off. Much better. #knitting #knitsky 🧶
