#ShowMeYourKnits #KnitSky #knitting I’d say more kooky than spooky, but so much fun! The aliens & squirrel patterns are by S. Ishii & pumpkin pattern by S. Gasson. I plan to give the squirrel to a friend’s dog so he can tell other dogs that he finally caught one! 😉

I hear you. My Ducky & I recently lost our beloved Calvin. Ducky stopped eating and dropped 8 pounds. We were able to get Cade, the tuxedo-colored 1yr old in the pix. He’s a total scamp, but we’re starting to heal. Each poodle has such a unique and special personality! Like I said, poodle mania!

Absolutely! Don’t doodle around, or as my much-loved breeder says, ‘Why dumb down the breed?’. 😜

I agree! Amazing designers and exquisite yarns make this so much fun. I struggle every day to keep to my vow to finish projects before starting the next one. I have so many patterns saved up 🤪

He figures that if he can survive being outed as a pedophile, whatever Putin has been holding over his head is small change. Speaking of ‘over his head’, golden shower here we come.

#Knitsky #ShowMeYourKnits #Knitting Like many others on this site, I prefer cowls to scarves. This pattern I adapted from Rosemary Drysdale’s wonderful 1st Entrelac book, spinning the yarn from some multi colored roving I had stashed. It was and continues to be my warmest, most cuddleworthy cowl.

Good to know! I don’t mean to disparage Shirley Paden when I say that there are errors in the pattern. Editors can be careless about about pattern details, especially when it comes to space constraints c

I don’t know where the pattern was published. The designer is Shirley Paden, but when I was struggling trying to deal with pattern mistakes, I couldn’t find her name on Ravelry or other online websites. So many knitting magazines have gone out of print that it may not be possible to find it.

#Knitsky #Knitting #ShowMeYourKnits My WIP. Just have to do the collars. Tore the patt out of an unknown magazine yrs ago, but if you find it & want try it, contact me. Serious errors in the chart; frustrating, but I love it now that I’ve figured it out 😉.

Not sure which one looks grey on your screen. The lavender one is a great pattern by Sirdar, #5570 and uses DK weight yarn. The other one is a tweedy ecru and the pattern is one I tore out of a magazine, Knitter’s I think. It’s a Winter 2019 edition, #17. It’s a challenging one, but nice.

So many yarns, so few hands. Do you think I could learn to knit with my feet?

#knitblue #ShowMeYourKnits #Knitting Just finished my 2 summer sweaters. I love the lacy patterns in cotton blends, but I can’t wait to get some cold weather fibers in my fingers. Alpaca? Merino? Cashmere? Decisions, decisions. 😆

Good point! I put a through-and-through slot about a quarter of the way up from the bottom so that the baby seat belt could be attached through it.

#ShowMeYourKnits #Knitsky #Knitting Just made it under the wire for shawl week. Laceweight alpaca from Valley Yarns user a pattern by Anna Victoria. Closed my Etsy shop: now selling at ‘Lace for St. Jude’s’ on Michaels Makerplace, with all proceeds to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Hi. Not in this case. I don’t like steeking, so I knit this cardigan back and forth, holding 1 color in each hand. On the wrong side row I had to purl w/ each hand, and had to learn to strand colors on RSR and WSR w/ each hand. Slow going at 1st!

Happy birthday #ShowMeYourKnits. This is one of my favorites from last year as I learned to knit 2-handed in classic fair isle style with it. Slowly! #knitsky #knitting

Absolutely! I made over 20 of their shawls (some repeats) that I sold on my Etsy site to benefit St Jude’s. No mistakes in the patterns and all lovely beyond words. I’m so mad at Etsy for their cowardice. I’ll find another site and get more sold. I just love making their shawls.
