Ellie is 1 today 🎈! A very special day.

She had a lot of fun in my first hand embroidered handknit sweater expirment. It turned out so cute #knitting #knitsky #embroidery 🪡 🧶

Love a good, squishy, folded neckline 🧶.

Really enjoying these stitches 🧶. This is a stripeless Holger sweater.

Morning knitting on some stripey socks for March ☘️

Work in progress for #ShowMeYourKnits this week. This is another hat sample for the colourwork hat class I will be teaching at Ancient Arts in March.

I’ve tried to do something very different than with the other sample with this one. 🧶 #KnitSky

Working on another sample for my colourwork hat knitting class in March. I’m using beautiful Ancient Arts Lascaux yarn.

Red is not really my colour, but this bright red Bright Side sweater (pattern by Espace Tricot) seems perfect for this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits prompt of Love ❤️.

+ pink hair as a bonus

Working on something fun ☺️.

I heard there is now also a crochet variant of weekly prompts called #CrochetAway and we’re starting with Afghans/blankets.

This is the Dainty Daisy Granny Square blanket I made last year April to May, during many random moments of the night awake with my then newborn.

Stripes for #ShowMeYourKnits this week. Stripey knitting for me means self striping socks, a lot of them! They are just the most fun to knit 🧶.

Do we do #fairislefriday on #knitsky? I thought it would be fun to share one of my most colourful and favourite knits.

This is Rydal by Marie Wallin from her book Cumbria. I made this between March and April 2023. It was such a fun knit ☺️.

Enjoying a cappuccino at home thanks to our new milk foamer and knitting a few rows on Ellie’s untextured Anker sweater. Lots of zen knitting is exactly what I need right now 🧶. #knitting #knitsky

Sometimes it’s worth it to rip back and start again. I started making a third #AnkerSweater but decided I wanted this yarn to be something else. I hope it will work out the way I’m envisioning 🌸.

I should probably go practice some embroidery flowers sooner rather than later 🙈.

Some cables for #ShowMeYourKnits . I had to search quite far through my project photos, because apparently I don’t do that many cabled projects. But I found a few good ones.

Seeing these and everyone else’s cables does make me really want to cast on something with cables, like right now ☺️

My latest stranded colourwork project: the Vita cardigan. Pattern by Susan Crawford, from her book Echoes.
