In full procrastination mode rather than put the new pattern on Ravelry mode. It’s always terrifying releasing a knitting pattern into the world. Here are my Magical Mycelium socks earlier today with Ivy.😻🍄 #knitsky #stoneknits #knitting

Dream Home sock set will be available tomorrow!❤️ Here’s a quick sneak peak of one of the designs inspired by country cottages, situated on rolling grass hills in the countryside, with little fluffy purl bump clouds in the skies above. Excited to share them both with you!

An unfinished knitted sock in progress, resting on a lap. A hand with painted blue finger nails is holding it. The sock has a blue ribbed cuff and ‘sky’ section on the leg with purl stitch fluffy clouds. Underneath are sweet colourwork knitted houses on the leg of the sock, followed by green colourful tweed sock yarn that looks like a field with wildflowers in it. The heel has almost been completed. The sock is on a pair of red cord knitting needles. In the background on the wooden table behind the sock, is a plate with a croissant on it and a glass of matcha latte.

Photoshoot in the forest for my new sock set coming later this week! Wore my Bouclé yarn Counting Sheep socks to try and combat the freezing temperatures 🥶 #stoneknits #knitsky #knitting
A pair of discarded pull on brown walking boots left on some stone steps. Inside the boots are a pair of hand knit fluffy sheep socks.

Couldn’t resist taking this quick pic of my Under the Quilt socks this weekend while waiting for my teen in the clothes shop changing room. #stoneknits #knitsky #sockknitting
A photo taken in a mirror of a person’s feet and legs, side on. They are wearing hand knit colourwork socks with a quilt star motif on and are wearing platform Mary Jane Doc Marten shoes. Their hand can be seen taking the photo on their phone.

I get asked alot about colorwork sock yarn floats and how to manage them at the needle ends if you’re knitting with DPN’s or Magic Loop method, so I’ve made a quick video tutorial on it youtube.com/shorts/HD0j-...

My hand is holding the cuff of a hand knitted sock that is on a pair of red needles. The sock is covered in a colourwork knitted ladybug pattern. The knitting is lying on my lap. On the table is my knitting book and a finished pair of grey ladybug socks

Charity shop find in Zürich today. Do you like thrifting and if so, what’s the best thing that you’ve found?

I had to try on my Sunflower Power beanie to see how it fit 😊 Happy to report that it fits well and is nice and cozy! Will have to take it for a winter walk when I’ve got it finished 😊

A mirror selfie of me wearing my partly finished Sunflower Power beanie. It is still on the needles and the yarn is hanging down from the hat. The hat is knit in a bright peachy pink yarn with flowers knit in a variegated yarn of light pinks, blues, purples and yellows. I am wearing a colourwork yoke sweater that I bought long before I could knit colourwork. Its sleeves and body are navy blue and the yoke is in white, cherry red and various blues.

Gorgeous Apple Picking socks!(pattern from Joyful Colorwork socks book.🤩🌳🍎)
fraochling.bsky.social FraochLingReinvented @fraochling.bsky.social · Feb 7
Well, guess arthritis wins when trying to tension long floats with 3 colors. After 3 attempts to do "bobble" apples finally opted to use beads instead.
@stoneknits.bsky.social patterns are always great to knit!!!
"Apple Picking" socks FINALLY done

Lets do it! A Knitalong to get the community going here on @bsky.app!

Start something new (or pick up an old project) using blue yarn, any shade and use the #SkyKAL hashtag to post progress or finished projects. We will let it roll until the end of February. To keep things simple. See comments…

I joined Bluesky a week ago. My thoughts so far
- I love actually seeing people I follow posts
- I like that I can just write
- I enjoy seeing people’s interests not just knitting.
- I miss videos of knits, I think I can see the fit better in videos (even Etsy realised this)
- I miss adding music.
