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.

Out of the 649 projects I have on Ravelry only 5 are white-ish 😂 Pantone colour for 2026 doesn't do it for me. I do however love www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... which I had started 11 years ago! Maybe it took so long because it was white 🥱 🧶 #knitting #showmeyourknits #knitsky

This was a WIP for 7 years until I recently finished it. The original pattern is a very oversized pullover but I will wear it more as a sleeveless tunic. Only took me 7 years to figure that out 🤪 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... by @katedaviesdesigns.com #showmeyourknits #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
