My latest FO ๐งถ! The Mount Pleasant top by Megan Nodecker in Terrapin Dyeworks (two OOAKs from Yarncentrick). The purple bled like crazy and it stained the blue at first. Funnily enough when I decided to just see if it would overdye all the staining washed out and the blue looks fine ๐

My latest FO. Based on the end to end pullover by @purlsoho.bsky.social though I modified to knit it in one piece. Yarn is @dragon-hoard-yarn.bsky.social 2024 ACOTAR Advent arranged into two fades for the front and back.
Thank goodness! I'm relieved to say the least ๐ฅณ๐
A mustard yellow onesie on a baby looking contemplatively off to the side. Pattern is Polygonia by Julie Turjoman in Valley Yarns.
A tan baby blanket on a red chair. The blanket has stripes on charcoal, yellow, green, purple, and dark blue. The pattern is Fly Away by Tin Can Knits knit in Plymouth Yarns.
A red Owlet sweater on an adorable child looking at a book. Owlet pattern is by Kate Davies and yarn is mystery stash.
A child playing outside in a cardigan sweater gradiating from tan to dark brown. The pattern is My Gift to You by Taiga Hilliard, yarn is civility worsted.
#showmeyourknits baby is lots of stuff for my kiddos! Here's a small sampling.
A little child wearing a blue sweater with Everest from Paw Patrol on it. Not quite finished as it needs eyes and a mouth. She is holding an instrument obscuring her face.
A smiling child wearing a blue sweater with a pink cat.
My latest two FOs, which happen to fit #showmeyourknits ๐งถ, as intarsia.
Both use Cascade Pacifica and other colors are stash.
The Everest colorwork chart was my own with Tin Can Knits Flax for measurements.
The cat was inspired by an out of print Sirdar pattern.
A modified Apothecary sweater by Saskie and Co. I pulled this from stash for a KAL with my LYS, Sow's Ear. The brown is Brooklyn Tweed, tan is something I've forgotten (civilization...civilian?), orange is Wonderland Yarn pulled when I ran out of tan (forgot to account for that with my tighter gauge ๐).
Orbits sweater by Unwind Knitwear. Main color is Supernova Dyeworks, contrasting minis are Sassy Songstress.
Field Sweater by Camilla Vad. Yarn is Wonderland Yarn.
Oh, #showmeyourknits colorwork is my jam! Opening gambit, 3 colorwork sweaters knit last year. If I remember I'll post more items throughout the week. ๐งถ

Oh hmm, not much for chonky for #showmeyourknits this week. ๐งถ This Double Split Color Blocked Cowl by Churchmouse in Malabrigo Rasta is the only thing bigger than worsted I could find from the last 5 years ๐. I loved it in the shop but didn't love wearing it so it went to a good home for charity.
Would love to see pics wearing it both ways
That hat ๐โฅ๏ธ

This cutie is wearing my latest ๐งถFO and selling girl scout cookies.
digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/ellie8... (if you're in Madison pick girl delivered and we'll bring to you, otherwise there's shipping or you can buy a cookie share for our food pantry)
Sweater is out of print from Sirdar.
I definitely found pain in my wrists from them. Sadly because I loved zooming round and round
Looks to me like at some point you accidentally slipped a stitch without knitting it. Shouldn't matter, you could ladder back and pick it up, but made a little harder by the decreases
#showmeyourknits lace from the last few years. Goal in to make a very fine lace shawl (through a wedding ring style) soon
Soft Breeze Shawl by gabriellevezina in @sunvalleyfibers.bsky.social and deep stash
Secret Forest by paperdaisycreations in leftovers
Rainshadow by melanieberg in fourcrowsfiber
๐๐ this is why I never calculate the number of stitches in my knitting
Front and back are done and seamed up. Just cast on the first sleeve tonight. This is for my older kid and the younger keeps pressing me to get it done since I said I won't cast on their sweater until this one is done.
Where can we find more info on this MAL?
I think it's on a Saturday

#showmeyourknits wips: a kitty sweater for one of my kids. Based on an out of print pattern by Sirdar so I'm winging it on the chart. I feel like it's too wide but this is already my second take so whatever; kiddo just said it'll be easier to see ๐. Yarn is Big Twist and Cascade Yarns Pacific. ๐งถ

Taking a little break from knitting due to some elbow pain ๐. Got this needle felting kit to satisfy my creative needs. It was fun but I miss knitting ๐ญ I'll probably be back at it tonight and see how the arm feels
#showmeyourknits is a rough one for me this week ๐ I think this might be the only heart I've ever knit. It's an ornament for an advent calendar I made for my oldest child's second Christmas. ๐งถ
I think it might be yarn harlot Stephanie Pearl McPhee from At Knits End...a guess as I'm not certain
Ooo, I don't knit a lot of socks but these are ๐ฅ
Ooo! Bug, do you ever custom dye sweater gradients? Like to have the body and sleeves have matching gradients? Or maybe gradient sleeves and a coordinating color for the body?
A brunette wearing a long stripey cardigan in shades of blue and purple
Pulled out my Desperate Housewife sweater by @mairyland.bsky.social in @sunvalleyfibers.bsky.social for #showmeyourknits #stripes ๐งถ
I left one for him about RFK Jr...for all the good it will do but at least it's something
I first read grandchild instead of godchild and was like wait what ๐ congrats!
Ooo, what's the pullover?
