#showmeyourknits this week is hats: last Christmas, I got hooked on using sock yarn scraps to make Seaglass hats for friends… and eventually for myself too!

I’ve been calling my Ooey Gooey “Autumn Evening” because that’s what the colors remind me of (using a skein of my handspun for the yoke) 🧶 #knitsky #showmeyourknits

#showmeyourknits this week is stripes…this year, Andrea Mowry’s “Ooey Gooey” Rhinebeck sweater pattern has a sorta stripey vibe—using my own #handspun is adding to it a bit! #knitsky 🧶

Another WIP (cheerfully non-monogamous crafter here!): Beagle by Norah Gaughan (men’s sweater)
The pattern knits up quickly—yarn is Berroco Vintage in Spruce. (Photos aren’t showing the color well—it’s more like a dark army green.)

🧶 #showmeyourknits I used a couple of mini skein sets to create Tin Can Knits’ Vivid Blanket last year.
It was knit for the baby of someone I babysat many years ago. I’d tried the pattern before but gave up because I found it too challenging for me at the time.
This time, success! 🙂 #knitsky

So glad I set aside the, oh, gosh, five (or so) WIPs I already have in progress to take part in #Westknits #2025Stashbustalong…
The Painting Bricks Shawl pattern is quite addictive when you have all kinds of colorful & self-striping sock #yarn in stash! #knitsky 🧶

Ah, the honeymoon phase of #knitting, when you start a shawl & keep thinking “This is going to #knit up so quickly!!” because you prefer to forget that a 3-stitch row will become a 300+ stitch row…
Pattern is Stephen West’s Painting Bricks—doing the 2025 Stashbustalong, because, you know, stash.

🧶a couple of baby knits for #showmeyourknits this week: Antler Cardigan (pink) by tincanknits & Wee Meadow Cardigan by Taiga Hilliard #knitting
The buttons were from my initial attempts to DIY resin buttons, and the orange yarn is from an experiment in ice-dyeing!
