Tonight's knitting audiobook. Cannot wait to watch this show too. I have an English MA & my thesis was on Austen. I often roll my eyes at spinoffs, but this really spoke to me. Maybe because I have felt like poor Mary and this writer just gets us #knittersofbluesky #audiobookbluesky #tricot #austen
Woman wearing a knitted woollen jumper, standing in front of a mud brick wall. The jumper has a patterned yoke that looks like drops falling downwards. The main body of the jumper is knitted in dark red, contrasting with the orange wool used for the yoke pattern. Pattern is Stilla, the newly released pattern from Natasja Hornby aka Moonstruck Knits. Main colour yarn is Harvest Hues by John Arbon in pomegranate, contrast colour is Navigator yarn from @piratepurlyarns in Cajun Relish colour.
For #showmeyourknits colourwork week I have a hot off the needles recently completed test knit - details in Alt text. 🧶

I genuinely do not know how this is going to go. It's a leaf pattern that my SIL wanted. She loves it so far, but I'm going um...maybe it's working? Lol! We'll find out. 😆 #knittersofbluesky #knitlife #knitting #wool #alpaca #fiberarts

Just in the nick of time, for #showmeyourknits green themed week. 🧶 #knittersofbluesky #knitsky
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?

It’s been a few days since I finished Baby Girl’s Easter dress (if you don’t include washing & blocking). Time to cast on her winter coat & hat. #knitting #knittersofbluesky #knitsky #knit

GREEN isn't really in my wheelhouse, but I did like these mittens from a couple of years back.

Blanket progress so far. The beaded star square is my favourite so far ❤️ #knitting #knittersofsky #knitsky #knittersofbluesky #handmade
Now that the unfinished part of my basement has been cleaned up, I’m working through a backlog of lace shawls that need blocking. #knittkng #laceshawl #laceknitting #knittersofbluesky

Scroll fast if you don’t want to see a spoiler for the Lyrical Knits “Believe” MKAL.
The third clue is out, so I’m sharing a pic of Clue 2.
I love it! Subtle it is not, in these colors anyway.

Well, that was close but not as close as I feared 😆 cowl #3 is done!! Hooray!

The weather is crappy so I’m visiting their website. Check out the bargains. Friday the 13th sale. My go-to for yarn and accessories bistitchual.ca 🇨🇦🧶
They support 🇨🇦dyers.
Hoo-boy, we're officially playing yarn chicken.
3 rows of color work to go and hopefully 4 rows of ribbing...ha, I don't think we're winning this one. 🤞🤔

I don’t do much lace knitting. But I love this sweater pattern so much that I have knit it three times. It’s my go-to knitwear in the summer

Omg, finally finished a huge project at work. So relieved. So exhausted. So ready for a 3 day vacation with time for knitting. But that's next week, for now, we dance! #knitlife #knittersofbluesky

I adore my knitting bag (a gift from family in Japan). It's perfect. What's inside? 2 crochet hooks, 3 darning needles, 1 row counter, 2 pairs stitch stoppers, metal ring w/ stitch markers, ruler, 2 needle sizers, & 1 rubber thimble. What's in your kit? #knittersofbluesky #tricot #knitlife #knitting
And as always, I'm already lining up plans for my next project (the final cowl, for now). This will be for my little SIL. She's moving to a slightly colder part of the state - hard 2 do, our entire state is cold, but add a lake and voila, enjoy shoveling! #knitlife #tricot #knittersofbluesky #alpaca
On my needles: another cowl in my quest to decrease my stash and clothe all my friends in wool this winter. 😆 It's coming along, quite please with all of the cowls I've done so far. Hoping to have this done by next weekend. #knitting #knitlife #knittersofbluesky #wool #tricot
Photo of a purple lace knitting project in process. Text below says “knitting lace is such an act of faith. You take a single strand of yarn, nearly a half mile long, and with a couple of skinny sticks, you knit and purl and slip and wrap and yarn over and knit together and make one left and right thousands and thousands of times, all the time hoping you have enough to finish… And you end up with a crumpled mess. Then you start pinning and stretching and blocking to force that yarn into submission, into something that looks beautiful and intricate and delicate, when it’s really based on strength. And it all starts with one really long piece of string… And a lot of faith.”

Here’s a post I made about #LaceKnitting several years ago that I thought appropriate this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits prompt and the shawl that inspired it. 🧶
