Yesterday was laundry day. The state of our nation has rapidly deteriorated since January. At least we will have socks. Every stitch helps me tamp down my anxiety, allowing me to think clearly and act accordingly #handknit #sockknitting #knitting #knitsky #blueskyisforknitters #handknitsocks

🧶🧦Third pair for May. Mystery thrift store yarn, judging by the way it made my hands feel, there was cotton in it. I also cast on a self drafted vest. Keeping my hands busy is helping keep my anxiety down

…here is what March is bringing.
This is yarn I found at the thrift store. It was bandless, so it’s a mystery. The dye job is kind of murky and reminds me of those Easter egg dye kits. 🧶

I forgot to post my finished February socks. I’m still currently gnomeless. I seemingly only have the mental/physical/emotional capacity to knit socks right now. (Humm, maybe I need to make an ESC?) 🧶 #knitting #sockknitting #blueskyknits #knitsky #blueskyisforknitters #handdyed #handknit

Hayley’s gray sweater is laid on a blue couch. It’s a bottom up sweater with the sleeves and body completed and the neck shaping unfinished.

My friendship pullover is looking so good!! Will be trying it on soon :) I love how the ribbing flows into the cable pattern

This is the left Lovespun Sock! I learned I need to knit the heel with a size 2 needle, so the right sock will be getting ripped back to that area. I love this sock pattern @grusknits.bsky.social ! #lovespun #lovespunsock #handknit #knitsky #blueskyisforknitters #knitting #knit #testknit

Frozen pipes means Hubster is driving to get supplies. That means I have over 5 hours of knitting time! I left my ruler at home, but progress still happens. #lovespunsocks #lovespun #knitsky #knit #knitting #Blueskyisforknitters #sockknitting @grusknits.bsky.social

Finished the Flax Sock sweater for my 8-year-old. Does anyone else knit kid sweaters just assuming that they might be snagged/lost or covered in marker/dirt/snot? And still you consider the recipient to be infinitely knitworthy? #love #skyKAL #knitting #blueskyisforknitters #knitbluesky #knit #flax

A photo of a woman's upper torso as she tries on the top yoke portion of a sweater that she is in the process of knitting. The stitches are held on a cable.  The sweater is two colors, the main/background color is a light oatmeal color and the pattern is knitted in a contrasting color that fades gradually from green to indigo to raspberry to purple.  The motif of the contrasting color looks like ferns or feathers sweeping gracefully down from the neckline towards the right.  The knitted fabric drapes over the shoulders and chest, ending just under the sternum where it's held in place to ensure the pattern is visible.

I'm all done knitting the yoke and short row shaping on the back of my Avena sweater. (pattern by Jennifer Steinglas) Next up: sleeve separation! #blueskyisforknitters 🧶

I made a litte girl doll playing Wonder Woman. There can’t be too many wonder women in the world. 🧶 These are called Izzy dolls and are meant to be given away to bring comfort to children in crisis. #blueskyisforknitters

Flax Sock by Tin Can Knits, yarn is KP Palette in cyan. My simple modifications include: omitting the garter panel, making the raglan increases further apart, and 2x2 ribbing.

Early this morning I bound off the hem of the modified Flax Sock sweater I am making for my kid. I love starting my day with knitting. I have made several Flax sweaters—it’s such a great basic pattern to make your own. See alt text for modifications. #knitting #knit #skyKAL #blueskyisforknitters
