A selection of whites (and some brights) for this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits
A collage of seven photos with various knitted items in white: baby socks, a gnome, a bobble hat, mittens and a baby cardigan.

Een symbooltje van een opstijgend vliegtuig bij mails van de NS!?

A Christmas knit: it is either Gnancy or Gneville and I finished it yesterday. Pattern is by Sarah Schira. Yarn is a leftover and as you can see it wasn’t enough.
#ShowMeYourKnits
A knitted gnome in grey yarn. It has a long pointy hat with a pompom. Its beard is lighter grey and he has a rather large round nose, just popping out from the brim of the hat. The gnome has cables on both hat and body. It is filled with dried beans and therefore sits plump.

The only fluff knit. I am a too itchy person… Quickly gave it away.
Pattern is a tam by Nora Gaughan. Yarn is unknown, it was in a bag of leftovers I was given.
#ShowMeYourKnits
Peach coloured tam with a single stitch cable pattern on top. The last four stitches have been knitted into a cord. The cord is now in a knot.

Frogged the sock on the left because it was too stiff. I changed to larger needles. Current WIP on the right, much softer feel.
#ShowMeYourKnits
Start of a sock in rainbow yarn. Brand is Meilenweit. Sock on larger needles, already turned the heel. Same rainbow yarn.

Zeer lezenswaardig interview met Erik Dannenberg en Marcel Vonk over sociaal-economische gezondheidsverschillen en ons veel te ingewikkelde systeem van toeslagen en hulp.

Another horror story for #ShowMeYourKnits: holes in socks with leather soles. I have covered them up with a knitted insole.
Inside of a sock, with holes. The new insole is lying next to it. The same sock with the insole sewn on.

A headband made with leftovers from this sweater was lost years ago on the bus. I still lament it because it had a lovely pattern and colour, was warm and soft. The replacements have never been as good…
#ShowMeYourKnits (horror stories week)
Sweater in purple and lilac. Body is purple, a broad band along the rim has a purple and lilac heart shaped pattern.

Two new hats for this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits theme.
Shown on a caranca from Brazil (it keeps evil spirits at bay).
A ‘Harry Slinger’ hat with a rolled hem. The colour is a kind of blue. Harry Slinger is a Dutch singer who always wore a red hat with a rolled hem. Knitted it for a colleague. A tam in lilac yarn. Pattern by Norah Gaughan. Knitted it for a work partner.

Lange wachttijden en slechte leefomstandigheden: onze asielopvang schaadt de geestelijke en fysieke gezondheid van asielzoekers soms nóg meer dan hun vlucht. Dat blijkt opnieuw uit onderzoek van @vluchtelingwerk.bsky.social . ‘Kinderen slapen er in de hal, zonder privacy en hygiëne.’
Hoe ons asielbeleid trauma’s van vluchtelingen vergroot
De erbarmelijke omstandigheden in de Nederlandse asielopvang veroorzaken trauma’s. Sterker nog, de psychische impact van inhumaan asielbeleid kan groter zijn dan die van het geweld waarvoor is…

Another pair of baby socks for a colleague, in the colours of the Ghanian flag.

#ShowMeYourKnits: joy and care
Little knitted baby socks in red, yellow and green. And with a black ribbon/bow. The colours are from the Ghanian flag.

Baby socks, I’ve knitted many for neighbours and colleagues this year!
#ShowMeYourKnits

Not sure if this is fingered or 4 ply or SMOL; learning so many new words here! Will look it up.
Five pairs of baby socks. Three are off-white, one pair is green and one is multi-coloured. Each socks has a cord with a bow.

Stripes (do these count?) and scraps in one hat (for a colleague).
The blue stripes in the bottom have been added because the hat didn’t cover enough of the ears.
Pattern by Norah Gaughan.

Hat in yellow and two blues. It has a pattern of bobbels and leaves.

Doing a ten stitch blanket with scraps. Sometimes I use a double yarn and sometimes just one. I can point out several cardigans and sweaters, and also scraps from my mother’s stash. Love it!
#ShowMeYourKnits #WIP
Ten stitch blanket: started with yellow, then red and oranges, then purples and currently greens.
