Stealing the moment between shoveling for a pretty snow pic with all my green and purple projects of late.

An angled view of the back of the sweater highlights the colors transitioning to purple and blue near the edge from oranges and pinks throughout the body.

The weather has been a touch cooler in the last week, so I managed to snap some photos of my #HexaGrannyCardigan
Yarn is seven colorways of #BriarRoseFibers Charity from stash.

A white man wearing an unblocked crocheted cardigan in dark sunset colors holds his arms out and lifts his foot toward the camera. It's sexy because the leg is showing. (It's not sexy.)

The work is done (hopefully) on my #HexaGrannyCardigan; I'm just waiting for it to dry from a full wet block. The fit after it dries? We'll see.

Closeup of one of the triangular petals in the eyelets design shows ribbed texture and lace mesh and stockinette used to fill different spaces in the design. Colors shift from red to pink to orange with the intensity of the richest sunset.

It's WIP week at #ShowMeYourKnits
This #briochevron blanket has been on the needles since Jan 1, 2016 - long enough to see my color choices evolve over time. Knit entirely from #briarrosefibers yarn (mostly Charity), I trot this behemoth out on the coldest days for cozy knitting. #MenWhoKnit

Just yesterday, I finished the knitting on this scarf-shawl designed by @roxmpls.bsky.social - perfect timing for #ShowMeYourKnits green week. Yarn is #BriarRoseFibers Abundance, and one hank is perfect for this pattern. A nice knit! Now to block it...

A handdyed green-blue yarn is being knit up into a strip of fabric featuring a complex celtic cable knot. The knitting is resting on someone's knee, and in the background you can see he is wearing knitted slippers in almost the same colors. Could it be one of his favorite color combinations?

What's on my needles that I can share: Leif Shawl by @roxmpls.bsky.social
The other night my neck was chilly, and a cabled shawl with its own shawl collar seemed just the ticket! It's a perfect match for a single hank of #BriarRoseFibers Abundance

A closeup sharp angle shows the vivid purples of the blanket laid out on a labyrinth. A church with a geometric circular window is just beyond the labyrinth.

I hear it's lace week at #ShowMeYourKnits.
I enjoy a circular lace blanket (shawl worked in a heavier yarn), like this Apres Chartres by Mmario (Leo).

I used sport-weight BFL yarn called Joyful, dyed by #BriarRoseFibers

This #briochevron blanket by Stephen West has been on my needles since New Year 2017. I've been working on it a bit recently. It only gets work done during cold winters. #ShowMeYourKnits

Several in-progress mitten ornaments and a narrow striped swatch still on the needles make one wonder if the maker has four arms or is highly distracted. Someone is clearly not up to influencer standards. There are crumbs on the table, yarn tails not woven in.

Here's how I went about planning which colors to include in the sweater I just posted. #SmittenGarland

A man is standing out in the snow, wearing a vividly striped sweater with a circular yoke that becomes more violently vivid as it approaches the neck. The colors are slightly variegated, like bands of watercolor paint. Each color is separated by a thinner, very dark band that remains consistent throughout the sweater. The man's face gapes open in comical excitement. Is he actually a clown without makeup?

The word on the street is this week's prompt for #showmeyourknits is stripes. Here's a sweater I made to make my heart happy during some of the lingering isolation of Jan 2021. This sweater is proof that I have long had an obsession with #BriarRoseFibers yarn, as this was a stash dive.
