✨ Defying Gravity with my finished masterpiece! ✨
I’ve officially wrapped up my #GoGoDynamo shawl (pattern by the awesome Stephen West!) just in time for the @wickedmusical.bsky.social release! 🎶
The colour palette is inspired by the spellbinding worlds of Elphaba and Glinda 💚💖

I’ve finished my West Knits Hiberknitalong and considering I only started on Christmas Day this is speedy for me!
The weekly advent by The Little Grey Girl works perfectly. I love the magic of blocking and seeing how this shawl grew so much to open out the lovely lace pattern. #WestKnits

I’ve become addicted to spinning! I’ve hardly knit all week, I just want to play on my eSpinner… I’ve made 5 mini skeins today!

Week 1 of Spinuary nearly done & I’m so happy with my first attempts at spinning on my Ashford eSpinner 3.
I’ve learnt so much this week & kept a quote from @ggmadeit.bsky.social it in mind “it’s not hard, it’s new” & it sums up my week perfectly - thanks GG for that reminder. #Spinning 🧶

The hats were a hit and all finished in time, although Nephew #1 has reached the “I’ll do things when I’m ready stage” so thanks to my brother for being Noah’s understudy haha
The chunky yarn is by Knotted By Nish and it’s so much fun seeing them light up under the black light.

The Toft 12 Birds of Christmas is one of my favourite projects to have made!
This was a great 12 month project and I had so much fun making these and learning some new techniques too.
I’m torn between Agnes the Heron and John the Woodpecker as my favourites - do you have a favourite?

Help @chickenprincess.bsky.social choose a pattern #Knitting
I'm interested to know which one you'd knit 🧶. And why.
If you don't knit just tell me which is nicest/best. And why.

Practising a relaxed Sunday of Hygge here, candles are lit and a Christmas cake is in the oven baking. Knitted socks on and some mindless rounds on my MKAL shawl!
