Picture of a lilac hand knitted sweater on a hanger with a hand embroidered 1 on it with flowers in it. On the foreground is a light green baby balance bike with the name Ellie on it. On the saddle sits a little stuffed elephant.
Ellie is 1 today 🎈! A very special day.
She had a lot of fun in my first hand embroidered handknit sweater expirment. It turned out so cute #knitting #knitsky #embroidery 🪡 🧶
Flat lay of a knitted sweater in progress. A squishy folded ribbed neckline is at the focal point. The sweater is a pale blue, but because of the evening lighting in the picture it looks warmer. The sweater lies against the backdrop of a colourful handknit blanket.
Close up of knit fabric still on the needles. The yarn is a pale blue. A small pet rock (a grey, glittery clay rock with googley eyes) stitch marker is hanging on the fabric.
Really enjoying these stitches 🧶. This is a stripeless Holger sweater.

Love that colour 😍. I miss train knitting, haha
This looks so good 😍!
Flat lay of a self striping hand knit sock in progress. Next to the sock sits the yarn caked up.
Morning knitting on some stripey socks for March ☘️
Flat lay of a knitted hat project. The hat is still on the needles and about halfway done. It has a pattern of coloured triangles on it so m orange, white and dark blue.
Work in progress for #ShowMeYourKnits this week. This is another hat sample for the colourwork hat class I will be teaching at Ancient Arts in March.
I’ve tried to do something very different than with the other sample with this one. 🧶 #KnitSky
Working on another sample for my colourwork hat knitting class in March. I’m using beautiful Ancient Arts Lascaux yarn.
That yarn is stunning! What a pop of colour indeed 💜
Beautiful colour 😍. That’s surely going to a beautiful and squishy cardi!
Picture of a woman with bright pink hair is wearing a bright red, handknit sweater.
Red is not really my colour, but this bright red Bright Side sweater (pattern by Espace Tricot) seems perfect for this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits prompt of Love ❤️.
+ pink hair as a bonus

Working on something fun ☺️.

A crochet blanket consisting of small granny squares with white daisy-looking flowers at the centre. All the squares are pastel shades of green, blue, red and purple with the white and yellow flowers in the middle. The blanket has a pastel green scalloped border and lies on the floor on a light green playmat with trees and animals on it.
I heard there is now also a crochet variant of weekly prompts called #CrochetAway and we’re starting with Afghans/blankets.
This is the Dainty Daisy Granny Square blanket I made last year April to May, during many random moments of the night awake with my then newborn.
#Crochet
That’s adorable 🥰!
Thank you ☺️ ! It’s really only a snippet, I have made so many socks over the years I had to slow my sock knitting down. I feel like I have too many, which I didn’t think was possible haha.
I really should make Ellie one, kids’ ones look so cute 🥰 . I love the yarn you used for your son’s one. I think I made socks out of that felici yarn as a gift for my mum years ago
A collage with 9 pictures of pairs of very colourful handknit socks on sock blockers. The socks are all stripey, but the colours vary. There are lots of pink, purple, orange, green and blue stripes, it’s a very colourful selection.
Stripes for #ShowMeYourKnits this week. Stripey knitting for me means self striping socks, a lot of them! They are just the most fun to knit 🧶.

Thank you ☺️
A colourful fair isle style hand knit sweater hangs on a coat hanger against a white door. The sweater has colourful striped stranded colourwork sections with pastel shades of green, pink, purple and blue.
A woman with reddish dark blonde hair is wearing the pastel colourful fair isle style sweater from the previous picture and a black skirt. She is standing in front of a white door and white walls and is looking off to the side.
Do we do #fairislefriday on #knitsky? I thought it would be fun to share one of my most colourful and favourite knits.
This is Rydal by Marie Wallin from her book Cumbria. I made this between March and April 2023. It was such a fun knit ☺️.
That looks amazing 😍!
That’s absolutely amazing 😍
A close up picture of a grey marbled table with a light pink woven placemat . On the placemat lies a light purple knitted yoke in progress on the knitting needles. In the top left corner of the picture a white with dark blue printed iitalla cup is visible. In the right top corner lies a white project bag with colourful, abstract fruits pictured on it.
Enjoying a cappuccino at home thanks to our new milk foamer and knitting a few rows on Ellie’s untextured Anker sweater. Lots of zen knitting is exactly what I need right now 🧶. #knitting #knitsky
I have made the Baby Hausschuhe a few times for my baby. I like those a lot ☺️. www.inesstrickt.de/portfolio/ba...
I’m not a spinner, but did just want to pop in to say these hats look absolutely gorgeous ☺️!
Flat lay of the start of a light purple knitted yoke of a sweater against a light wooden background.
Sometimes it’s worth it to rip back and start again. I started making a third #AnkerSweater but decided I wanted this yarn to be something else. I hope it will work out the way I’m envisioning 🌸.
I should probably go practice some embroidery flowers sooner rather than later 🙈.

That looks lovely ☺️. What kind of pastry is that? Looks tasty
Fun! I’m in 🩵. I will have a look through my stash for something blue
A woman with dark reddish brown hair wears a bright blue hand knit sweater that has a cabled panel down the front of it.
A flat lay of a pair of light grey hand knit cables fingerless mittens against a light grey marble background and a dark grey project bag with sharks on it.
Some cables for #ShowMeYourKnits . I had to search quite far through my project photos, because apparently I don’t do that many cabled projects. But I found a few good ones.
Seeing these and everyone else’s cables does make me really want to cast on something with cables, like right now ☺️
