I need to find a better management system for my needles than the one I'm using (throw them all in a project bag & dig through it at random each time I start a new project, cussing under my breath the whole time).
Suggestions? What are y'all using?

I am really late to the #ranunculus party. IYKYK
I am making a second one in blue!
Mental well being for me = less social media and more analog activities 🤍
#blueskyknits
Scrappy socks because mental well being matters!
I am finding that less social media engagement these days - although I feel I want to remain informed - is healthier for me.
Knitting is just one way for me to be in the moment.
May you all be well and may we all do what we can. 🩵💙🤍

#frogging because I don’t remember which row I left off at or the Daisy and Storm pattern I was using for my block 😩
#BlueSkyKnitter #BlueSkyKnits #knitting #frogging isn’t there a faster way to do this???
Winter knitting saves my soul, especially this winter! 🤍

My friend's grandma knitted her this cute hat and I want to copy the pattern. Anyone recognize the stitches? I can do the cables but not sure about the baubles.

Garter Stitch. Not my favorite, but sometimes it's really effective. My ESC, Kate, was done in #handspun cheviot and now has pride of place in my #yarn room.

#showmeyourknits this week is work in progress - I finally dug out this worsted wool, purchased well over a year ago. #fernandfeather and I’m enjoying the process

The finished little hat I started yesterday night.
Fingering weight and lace weight mohair held together to give it the dreamy look.
I love a good cable and this has plenty of them.

Great inspiration for those of us who #knit the same boring hat over and over again.

Me wearing my completed Bright Jade sweater.
My sweater laying flat on a sofa.
SWEATER!
Pattern: Giddy Up by Heidi Kirrmaier (see below)
Yarn: Purl Soho Knitting Yarn on a Cone in Bright Jade
I modified the original pattern to fit my vision of a slightly retro pullover. I’m thrilled with everything about it.

A note that reads: On Christmas morning ... A pair of hand knit socks contains about 35,000 stitches. That's 35,000 times someone did something while thinking about you. So, if you get hand knit socks this Christmas, remember someone loves you a great deal.
The annual reminder from knitters everywhere.

One down, three more to go. Maybe. Quick and easy pattern. Hardest part is trying NOT to break the leftover glass balls I had from years ago… would be better w plastic but making do with what I have on hand.

I let my fingers work the yarn,
slow loops and twists,
the rhythm of stitch and breath,
the ache and warmth tangled together,
and in the soft weight of wool,
I find a piece of me returning,
folded into the season,
folded back into myself.
Knit of the day.

The below hip length is terrific. I knit it as written, but didn’t use the modified 3 needle bind off for the top seams, the yarn was too bumpy for me.
I love the color so much.

My very fuchsia, tweedy, dolman sleeved sweater.
PROGRESS!
Just have to knit the cuffs and then TRANSFORM it through the magic of soaking and blocking.
#knitsky #blueskyknits
The back of my dolman sleeved sweater.
The back of the sweater is done and I love the generous shape.
Next I will knit the fronts, then join them at the shoulder/outer sleeve seam. Then knit cuffs and neck/front bands and then curse my existence while I sew the underarm/side seams.
#blueskyknits #knitsky
From mystery to masterpiece! 🎉
All clues done, every end woven in (finally 😅), and ready for a nice soak and block.
So happy with my color combo — it sings! 🎶
