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

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 🧶

Our favourite TV series is back and I would love to be a Traitor!

So what are you? Faithful? Or Traitor?

Perfect TV knitting with my Stephen West Slipstravaganza cape!

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?

✨ 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 💚💖

Lazy Sunday here, re-watching Gladiator before we see the 2nd one, and some gentle knitting for the brim of a hat… #Knitting #Toft

Knitters 🧶 if you took part in the Geogradient MKAL with Stephen West, or you just love knitting, we were joined by the man himself and Linda the test knit coordinator on YouTube to chat all things mystery shawl! Did you take part in this years shawl?
