Thank you!!
Yes! Thatβs it!
p.s. fancy yarn by @exlibrisfibers.com and I think it was an exclusive colorway for @weirdsistersyarn.bsky.social π π§Ά
A partially completed hand-knit sock in progress on wooden sock blockers with a honeycomb and bee design. The sock features a diagonal textured stitch pattern with a ribbed cuff, knit in a light gray speckled yarn with pink, green, and purple flecks. A ball of matching yarn sits beside it, and a metal knitting needle is inserted into the stitches. Pattern: Prairie Spring by Samantha Myhre. Yarn: Ex Libris Fibers.
I know Iβm late to the party, but I just discovered Bridgerton, and I'm completely obsessed. These socks are my binge-watching companion: it's very polite knitting and the yarn has silk in it, so they feel appropriately fancy. I just know I'll be the envy of the ton. π§Ά π§¦

Wow! The colorwork is beautiful and what a clever idea to reknit the bits you didn't like!
I love this SOOOO much!

It's colorwork week on #ShowMeYourKnits so I thought I'd share my Winterfell Socks plus the interview I did with the designer, KnittyMelissa, and her pro tips for knitting stranded colorwork socks. π§Άπ§¦

Thanks! Honestly, I knitted this early in my knitting journey and every time I look back on it, I give past me a little pat on the back for a job well done!
Ooh! Those are very pretty! I always stall on my colorwork projects too, lol, so no judgment.

A hand holds a small, tangled nub of pink yarn in the foreground, while a partially knitted piece in the same pink yarn rests on circular needles in the background. Stitch markers line the edge of the knitting, and the fabric is a thick double knit.
Not only did this double-knit hem take forever to knit, it also ate up a whole ball of yarn! Glad to have this part of the project behind me. The rest of the top should be a relatively easy knit. π π§Ά
Thank you!!
Thank you!
Thanks! I loved the yoke pattern, but I wasn't sure I'd like the fit of the i-cord neckline, but it turned out to be quite flattering.
Speaking of imperfections that no one will ever see on Zoom... I used two different dye lots and it created a subtle stripe in the middle of the sweater. #KnittingFail π§Ά
A beautiful and incredibly talented woman with curly red hair smiles while modeling a finished short-sleeve knitted tee in a light beige color. The sweater features a cabled yoke detail that looks almost like wheat stalks and a simple stockinette body with i-cord finishes at the neck, sleeve, and hems. I'm in my kitchen with wood floors and dark cabinets and really should find a nicer setting for my photoshoot, bit this will do for now. Pattern: Raunioiset Sweater by Wallebeck Wool. Yarn: Knit Picks Woolen Cotton.
I hereby interrupt your #KnitSky scroll to present the perfect WFH garment: The beautiful yoke detail will impress everyone on Zoom, and no one will ever see the hem I had to reknit twice and still donβt totally love. π π§Ά
Thank you! His shell is removable too, which is so cute. At one point the designer released patterns for other shells so he could dress up!
I love this!

I canβt let #ShowMeYourKnits green week pass without showing off my Sheldon! π’π§Ά
Beautiful! And I'm loving the color name!! π’π«
What a pretty color! I love how it catches the light.
Whoah, the hashtag came out weird... let's try again #ShowMeYourKnits
A circular, aqua-colored knitted blanket laid flat on a wooden surface. The blanket features a radial leaf-like lace pattern that spirals outward from the center, with textured sections and small eyelets forming the design.
I finished my Radiating Star Blanket! It's mint green, but photographs as kind of an aqua color. But I'm calling it Green for #ShowMeYourKnits?π§Ά
This was a fairly quick knit, given its size. Of course, I forgot to measure it before gifting, but it's probably around 46'' in diameter. Not bad!

Donβt ask me why I stopped to take a WIP pic when I was like 10 rows shy of finishingβ¦?
For me, photographing my knits is just as enjoyable as knitting them! Guess I couldnβt let the photo opp pass me by. π§ΆπΈ
You do you!!! No rules in knitting!!!
Ooh! Sounds awesome!!
I used to subscribe to Darn Good Yarn monthly boxes! This looks similar to the types of yarn they used to send me.
Stunning!!
These look great! I love knitting on DPNs too, but I've never tried knitting both socks at the same time. Very cool.
