I finished some handspun! Finished the singles awhile ago and was conflicted on whether to ply them on each other or together. I originally wanted to make the rock it tee and stipe the colors but then thought they went together so I could just ply and not faff with striping.

Can’t stop. Won’t stop. I knit this in a week! This is the Tolsta Tee knit in Knit Picks Cotlin. One of my favorite tops I’ve knit! #handlnit

After finishing the languishing sweaters-what else should one do but cast on another!!!! This is the recalibrate sweater by Shana Cohen. The yarn is all handspun by me. The main colors are three waters farm in their 2025 TdF colors. The darker is Frabjous Fibers. #handspun #handknit

Catch up on my WIP down challenge. I’ve finished another sweater! I hand dyed this yarn in 2018! I cast on in 2022 and I finally finished it! This is the Spector by Joji Locateli. The yarn is Knit Picks Stroll dyed by me. #handknitting #handdyed

I’m working on finishing some languishing wips. This one was started in December last year. It is (mostly) the Tic Tac Toe sweater by Ana-Maria (crochethighway). I followed the pattern until I got to the crocheted ribbing. The capital K knitter in me couldn’t do it. So I knit broken ribbing.

I finally finished my @threewatersfarm.bsky.social tour de fleece 2025 colors. This is Slipstreams Pull and Pulling Purple. I spun them end to end and chain plied. These are going to be my main colors for a handspun Recalibrate.

#tourdefleece2025 has come to a close today. I spun 9 little skeins. See my “before” and after ;). This includes a spin along, spinning from a class at SSK, the spun fiber from the fiber pool at SSK and a couple other spins from my Advent in 2023. In total it was about 17 ounces - over a pound!

I finished spinning the plies for my opposing ply sock yarn for the PLY guild spin along. I had time to ply them today and boy is this yarn interesting! It feels so wrong when it is just a bunch of noodles coming off of the Knitty Noddy but I’m trusting the process and about to give them a bath.

Catch up days 3-5 of the #tourdefleece. I’m spinning some Targhee bamboo silk from Hipstrings. We are doing a spin along in the PLY guild. This fiber is yummy!

I finally finished my #sockmadness round 3 socks. I didn’t not finish fast enough to advance to the next round. Love these socks! The arches shape made the heel shape so interesting- see the photo without a blocker #knitting #socks

I have been approved for round 2 of #sockmadness! Very interesting construction. The entire sock is knit flat except the toe. Not my favorite as I hate purling but I do love the socks! #sockknitting #sock

I have my first sock finished! It’s a little tight but I was worried after so many people said these socks were huge. #sockmadness And I found a great hack to fix the messy join (which I will do after submitting). The sock madness community is fantastic!

I finished my #sockmadness round 1 socks! These might be my favorite socks to date! I might even make a second pair. Pattern is Day & Night socks by Alena Malevitch. Pattern will be available after the competition. I used West Yorkshire spinners and Cascade Heritage. #knitting #sockknitting

I’ve qualified for this years sock madness! What an interesting pattern. I’ve only ever done socks one after the other on my CSM. Fairly happy with these. Pattern is Conjoined Sock Twins and I used Trekking sport yarn. #sockmadness #sockknitting #socks #knitting
