Did an increase round and actually have the right number of stitches! Had to do the weaving the orange yarn through it but I got the same number twice & it's what I was aiming for so yay!

A black handknit vest in garter stitch over a light green linen blouse #handspun
Love those buttons too- thrift store bargain. This pattern is called the Pelica Vest and done entirely in garter stitch, and seamlessly. #showmeyourknits #knittingwithhandspun
First project of 2026 is the chevron sweater from Noro pattern book, using some wildly coloured handspun yarn. #knittingwithhandspun #handspinning

Up next on the needles and I think my 3ply handspun will do nicely. #knittingwithhandspun handspinner
Two skeins of handspun yarn, one with lots of barber poling, one a slow moving gradient. The colours are blue, mint green, grey and black.
Spinning is still happening. Two skeins, same dye job, different colour management.
Which one do you like best?

I’m all spun out; going to settle on a knitting binge, here’s the first, a modified Hitchhiker scarf knit from my #handspun. #showmeyourknit #knittingwithhandspun
A skein of handspun yarn resting on grey fabric. The yarn is tightly plied and showcases a vibrant gradient of pinks with subtle flecks of other colours.
A cake of handspun yarn wound into a neat spiral, sitting on a white surface. The yarn displays a gradient blend of dusty pink, plum, and hints of coral with visible tweedy flecks throughout, giving it a heathered, dimensional appearance.
A partially knitted tabi sock in pink handspun yarn, alongside the same yarn wound into a cake, shown on a black surface near a keyboard. The fabric is smooth and even, with colourful nepps providing visual texture.
Two pink knitted tabi socks, one in progress, worked in the round on circular needles. One is finished, both are knitted in pink handspun yarn with multicoloured tweedy specks, laid on a black desk next to a ruler and a keyboard.
The final day of #tourDeFleece25 is here, and I've managed to #spinEveryDay and get through a lot of the older batts I wanted spun up.
I also spun up a very old gradient from my pink phase, and knit a 3ply sock yarn that's being turned into another pair of #tabiSocks.

A piece of knit fabric in a dark chocolate brown, mostly in stockinette, with a few purl stripes. Along the right side numbers are written, those numbers correspond to the needle sizes used to knit that section of the piece.
After I’ve scoured my sample, I spin it up in a simple 2y and then knit a sizeable swatch, using multiple needle sizes. I start two sizes smaller than I think will be ideal, and work my way up.

A knitted norwegian style gnome, with a dark green hat, a lighter green and grey body and cream nose and beard.
I rarely want to knit non-functional stuff, but I enjoyed this little gnome.
Gnoodles likes luxury wools, and is the helpful kind, pointing the right way to the garden, if only it wasn't raining ...

A pair of handknit socks in gloomy colours on a pair of sock blockers on wooden background.
These have been finished for a while, but I never got round to weaving in the ends and taking a photo!
So here are the Dark Vibes socks in all their gothy glory.

Two braids of spinning fibre, dyed in black, mustard and teal, on a wooden background
Yesterday's dye job, I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. The plan is a vest that's mostly black but has random colourful bits.

Two handknit socks next to each other, one only partially finished.
Socking along.
#showMeYourKnits #sockKnitting #knittingWithHandspun
A finished and a just started sock on magic loop circular needles, the ball of yarn attached to the sock being worked, before a white background.
Second sock under way, at last!
#showmeyourknitting #knitting #knitsky #knittingWithHandspun #sockKnitting
An almost finished handknit sock with the knitting needles still in it, in colours running from green to teal to green to brown to black, starting from the toe.
The first sock is almost done, and it's time to spin yarn for the second!

Two feet in handknit socks, propped up against the edge of a desk, with a partially visible keyboard in the background. The socks are fraternal twins in grey, blue and green tones.
Remember that blue-green-grey gradient? Those socks are on my feet now! No, I don't block socks, thanks for asking!
#handspun #handknitted #knitsky #spinsky #knittingwithhandspun
A ball of yarn, in a gradient from light in the middle through light green and then grey-ish green on the outside.
A started toe up sock on knitting needles, using magic loop, from the gradient in the previous photo, starting with the light blue at the toe.
Sock gradient now on the needles. The resulting socks will be fraternal twins, because this is one long gradient, but that's fine by me.

Now on the needles: another pair of socks. Handspun Romney and sari silk, traditional 3ply, 2mm needles.
#handspun #kitsky #knittingwithhandspun #spinsky
An almost black vest, still on the needles about 3/4 finished being knit.
Many hours on the train saw some progress on my #allSeasonVest.

A bunch of knitted fabric with a removable stitch marker holding a dropped stitch.
The same fabric from the other photo, with the dropped stitch fixed.
In my rush to get this to perfect travel knitting state I dropped a stitch. Laddered it up, it’s now all a bit tight in that spot but think I can wrangle it.

Two hand dyed braids of polworth top, one has been unbraided and wound into a ball. It is slightly self striping with blue, grayish brown, red, and gold. Colors are very autumn looking.
My next spinning project. I have 10 oz of fiber in total. I'm not sure how I want to spin it and what I want to use it for. Too much for socks, not enough for a sweater. I could weave with it possibly. Open to ideas for preparing/spinning the fiber and what […]

The beginnings of a top down vest, knit in black handspun yarn with colourful flecks of recycled sari silk.

Mild case of startitis - while planning some upcoming travel knitting (socks, always socks) I stumbled upon the #allSeasonVest by Noriko Ichikawa. And I've been watching "The one that got away". So ... I cast on. I mean, who wouldn't??

A pair of handknit socks, a bit rustic, with brown toes and cuffs and grey foot, presented on sock blockers.
Another pair of #frankensocks. These came out a tad too big, which is good in a way because it alerted me to the fact that somehow I'd buggered up my master spreadsheet.
Should all be fixed now for the next pair!
#knittingwithhandspun #sockknitting #nevernotknitting #knitting
A pair of Frankensocks. The yarn is neither super appropriate for socks, not do the colours work particularly well together, but I'm on a mission to knit up random single skeins, and this gets three of them out of my stash while keeping my feet warm. Win!

Last week was all about finishing this baby. Lots of my first year handspun yarns in there, plus some millspun.
