I lost these on the metro in DC circa 2012. 😭 Knit myself another pair but then didn’t want to wear handknit gloves out of the house because they’re too easy to lose. #ShowMeYourKnits

It’s time to block.

A dark purple, green, blue & magenta handknit scarf and a dark blue handknit vest are in a plastic container. The container is in a sink; the sink’s faucet is streaming water down on the knitted items which are beginning to float.

Finished these like one hour before they were needed for the costume. And so one of these is a nearly technically perfect sock, and the other one is a “fuck it, we’ll do it live!!!” sock

My horror story for this week's #ShowMeYourKnitsis is the time I threw a few shawls in the washing machine and accidentally picked the delicates cycle instead of wool/handwash and found out there is a big difference! Three were completely felted. Here's two of them in better days.

A large handknit shawl draped around a dress form. The shawl has bands of mosaic knitting and larger brow bands of garter stitch.
Pattern: Mosaic Musings by Stephen West
Yarns: Walk Collection Cottage Merino and West Wool Bicycle

A handknit triangle shawl draped around a dress form. The background colour is sea green, there is a triangle shaped pattern of a multicolor yarn over the body of the shawl.

Awkward selfie of a woman’s head wearing a green and teal handknit hat in stockinette stitch with 1x1 brim ribbing. Picture is a fit check by the knitter, but I lost it before I got the chance to take a nicer photo.

Finished with plenty of time before The Big Day. My own top-down sock recipe with very deep stash. Might be Canon Hand Dyes? Contrast colour heel so as not to interrupt the perfect stripes. 🧶

A couple months ago, I unfortunately lost my beloved childhood cat, Selina Kyle. Im missing her sweet, big green eyes today.

Tortie looks up at camera, awaiting snacks.

🧶🧣#ShowMeYourKnits: 👻 Spooky! Here is my favorite of many Hitchhiker scarves I have knit. I wore it all the time.
Knit in a mix of Lana Grossa and Serenity Sock yarns, it *somehow* never made it home with me during the last weeks of work before I retired. Grrr.

www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

Close-up of a handknit garter stitch scarf in two different colors of variegated sock yarns; blues and burgandys. The pattern is Martina Behm's classic "Hitchhiker" pattern. It is an elongated triangle shape with one sawtooth border.
Some asshat at work pinched it in the last weeks before I retired.

Another close-up of the scarf, wrapped around my neck.

Russian grafting without a crochet hook is a great alternative to the Kitchener stitch. It is amazingly simple, and the seam it forms looks very neat.

A pattern I recently test knit has been released and it’s really cute and it means a lot to knit something cute in your life. 🧶
Cute Lil Acorn Hat by Nicole Larkin-York
www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
Project details in alt
#knitting

A colorwork, handknit hat with a motif of acorns in two shades of green being worn on Deidre’s head.

Yarn used: Ula+Lia DK, 100% camel in moss and 85/15 sheep/cashmere in olive
Needles: 3.00mm and 2.75mm

My gauge runs really, really loose and this yarn plays more like a worsted weight rather than the labeled DK. Regardless, the hat is still nice and soft~

Another #hat for #ShowMeYourKnits! This is a baby hat I made about 15 years ago. I sent it off to our niece today for their new baby, along with a #babyblanket I started 6 years ago and finally finished.

Photograph of a stuffed bear toy wearing a handknit baby hat. The hat is a soft spring green with a rolled brim and white hearts encircling it. The crown is topped with a knot. The bear is caramel brown with light tan paws and muzzle, and has a satin bow tied around its neck.

Photograph of a handknit baby blanket in purple worsted-weight yarn. The pattern is “Tilly’s Blanket” by Auroraknit (available on Ravelry.) It has a seed stitch border; the main part of the blanket is stockinette stitch with a diamond pattern of small eyelet hearts.
