I knit a pair of mittens in Brushtale yarn. I got it at Loopine Wool, Auckland NZealand it feels light and soft. I felt uneasy as a vegetarian about yarn made from dead possums. But I learnt that they are invasive and they destroy native wildlife and have to be controlled. #knitsky #mittens #knit

I made a mistake in my post. I had thought it was a blend but when I checked I found it was actually 100% baby alpaca.

Slogging away at the foot of the second sock. The end is finally in sight. Don’t think I will bother with color worked socks again - they take too long. #knitting #socks #bunnies #rabbit

I made two Dot Dash Headbands in double knitting. I used Valley Yarns 100% baby alpaca. I used a pattern from the book Knitting from the North by Hilary Grant. It was my first time doing double knitting. They are completely reversible. #knitting #knitsky #alpacayarn

Knitting a baby blanket with the dog face butterfly for someone in CA. Knit with Malabrigo in colorway lettuce. I’m also adding the female butterfly, the larva, pupa and egg. Dogface is the official CA butterfly. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #babyblanket

I finally finished my Le Coeur est un Oiseau sweater. I was worried it would be itchy because the yarn has 30% hemp and lots of bits sticking out. But it actually feels ok now it’s blocked. I might knit this again in a smaller size. #knitting #knitsky #showyourknit #biscotteyarn

I always like to have more than one project on the go. Socks are always a good travel project. Now I’m starting a baby blanket , more of an at home project. #showwhatyouknit #knitsky #knitting #babyblanket #malabrigoyarn

Just getting started on some Bunny socks. Easter Wonderland by Louise Robert for Biscotte Yarns. I love their patterns and yarns. I visited a couple of their lovely yarn stores when I was in Canada.

I bought this used pattern book from Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse. I am knitting the Aberlady cardigan using Stylecraft Life dk. It’s a blend of wool and acrylic. The body is quite thick fabric- made by slipping stitches. #showmeyourknits #knitting #daleofnorway #knitsky
