A partially complete, mustard-yellow hand-knit hat is being held. The bottom half has several inches of ribbing (that will be folded up) and the top half is an intricate design of knit cables and chains.
Pretty thrilled with how this intricate design is coming together ☺️ #ShowMeYourKnits #KnitSky 🧶

Thank you! It’s Berroco Ultra Wool DK
A knit work in progress is shown sitting on a wooden table. It’s a ribbed brim of a hat in a soft, mustard-gold yarn that shows the definition of the knitting texture very nicely.
Current project: a 100% superwash merino wool hat for myself in this beautiful mustard-gold color. For this one I’m following Wool & Pine’s Rockhound hat design. I really like the look of the ribbed brim so far in this yarn 😄 #ShowMeYourKnits #KnitSky #WIP 🧶
A finished, red/orange (looks more of a pumpkin in real life) cable-knit bag sitting on a wood table.
Finished knitting my chalk bag for indoor climbing last week! I had a lot of fun doing my first cables, but wow was learning on size 1 needles a challenge 😅 Now to sew in a liner, drawstring & hoop to keep the top of the bag open during use 🧶 🧗🏽♀️ #ShowMeYourKnits #KnitSky

Artemis II landing was beautiful! Just *chef kiss* #integrity

“You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.” ― Edgar Mitchell Image: Earthset captured through the Orion spacecraft window at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, during the Artemis II crew’s flyby of the Moon. A muted blue Earth with bright white clouds sets behind the cratered lunar surface. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region. In the foreground, Ohm crater has terraced edges and a flat floor interrupted by central peaks. Central peaks form in complex craters when the lunar surface, liquefied on impact, splashes upwards during the crater’s formation.
Waking up to the awe-inspiring images from NASA at the same time the US President is implying that he will commit genocide, I can't think of a better quote for the times than this one from Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell. I added it to today's Earthset image:
Also I need daft punk to come out of retirement and sample Artemis astronauts describing the moon to the nastiest beats those Frenchmen can drop
Hard to imagine what experiencing this must have been like. Maybe it’s like the feeling of seeing the Himalayas vs looking at pictures of them, but on an even grander scale. “Truly hard to describe” is probably the most honest, accurate thing they could have said.
Earth sets at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, over the Moon’s curved limb in this photo captured by the Artemis II crew during their journey around the far side of the Moon. Orientale basin is perched on the edge of the visible lunar surface. Hertzsprung Basin appears as two subtle concentric rings, which are interrupted by Vavilov, a younger crater superimposed over the older structure. The lines of indentations are secondary crater chains formed by ejecta from the massive impact that created Orientale. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region.
Latest #Artemis image to drop is my newest favourite!

T-10 hours until #Artemis II launches for a lunar flyby! I’m so excited to see humanity returning to the moon, and the doors this program will open for further exploration and discovery. #adastra #nasa #optimism

I’m gonna go park my car at Mercer’s station and then take the train back into Seattle (a real NIMBY concern that was voiced)

One of nature’s many beautiful sculpture mediums! We’ll see; the goal is kids who are just as excited by it all.
Oooo! Now I can’t unsee it
Haha yes! I am using this pattern from Ravelry. Ambitious for my first cable project but I have a tendency to jump right into things 😅 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
Berroco Vintage Sock yarn in Pumpkin. Can’t get enough of it! It’s an acrylic, wool & nylon mix that should work well for a mostly indoor-use bag.
For rock climbing 😊
Thank you! Yes I’m lining the inside with felt & adding a drawstring

Cabling on my 🧗🏽♀️ chalk bag is coming along nicely! I’m obsessed with this pumpkin yarn color #ShowMeYourKnits #knitsky

A bell-shaped knit hat with multi-color yarn woven throughout the white base yarn. The hat has two rounded, stuffed, knit ears sewn to the top!
A small-ish, knit, cream-colored hat with a green border purled along the rim, green leaf motif around the mid section and blue flower motif repeating around the top.
In my endless pursuit of new hobbies (and given some new free time after RTO took my job), over the last few months I’ve picked up #knitting. Here are a few of my favorites so far as I ease into #colorwork. Current projects are an adult-sized color work hat, and a chalk bag with cabling 🧗🏽♀️🧶
Oh - and the green is matcha
