Knitter 🧶, baker 🍞, former soap 🧼maker, I embrace self-reliance and survival skills. I loathe fascism, far right mindset and inequality.
I’m double dipping into autumn themed #showmeyourknits, with a perfect autumn weight jumper in autumn tones. Pattern name is Ember but I knitted this during the bushfires of 2019/20, so I changed my project name to Precious Amber, after the main colour. More details in images.

I love scarves but what I love even more is a wide, shallow shawl and I’ll be knitting more of those. However, for #showmeyourknits scarf week, my skinny version of Time Trades will have to do.

Trying to make inroads on some summer knits, starting with a between seasons pullover, perfect for #showmeyourknits wip week, albeit just sneaking it in. Sleeve length is yet undecided. Yarn is merino/linen dyed by the talented @piratepurlyarns.bsky.social #knitsky 🧶

My newest favourite sweater is still a secret until release date so here’s one I finished last year, for #showmeyourknits sweater week. Pattern is Sneeflocken by Sarah Solomon. Charcoal yarn is geelong lambswool by Colourmart, cream is merino/yak by Ochre.

I don’t have many baby knits for #showmeyourknits this week but I made these for a work colleague a few years ago.

I almost forgot stripes week for #showmeyourknits! My modified Jukebox Cardigan shamelessly copying the colour arrangement from the Funky Grandpa Cardigan.

My recently completed “Eat the Rich” fits the bill perfectly for #showmeyourknits leftovers week. I’ve used Rennie Supersoft lambswool, left over from a granny square jumper I made last year. 🧶

I’ve had to plumb the depths for #showmeyourknits blue week- and it’s really a mix of grey, blue and green, so it looks a little like an oil slick on water, not a clear blue.🧶 #knitsky

A newish cast on #showmeyourknits WIP week, for what I know will be a long, slow knit. It’s the start of my Jemima’s Jumper, one I’ve wanted to make for a long time. I’m taking it easy, hoping that will be enough to prevent these tiny needles causing wrist problems.

It was a chilly start but we managed to grab a spot in the sun, in our usual place to celebrate #WWKIPday for this week’s special edition of #showmeyourknits. I’m wearing the recently finished Djö designed by Sophie Ochera.

Very excited to see @nicboele.bsky.social is my new (provisional) Federal member! It’ll fingernail biting time until the recount is finalised, but whatever happens I am glad I was a tiny part of her huge volunteer cohort.

Purple themed #showmeyourknits this week was a challenge for me until I remembered the tam I made to take to Shetland in 2019. 🧶

Finding something for #showmeyourknits DK week was a difficult task, I rarely use DK. This Koivua jumper from a few years ago has been given away because the yarn made me itch so much! I was so disappointed, the recipient not so much! 😉🧶 #knitsky
