Yellow wool on round knitting needles, with just the start of a hat.
Giving #knitting in the round another go for a hat.
Still not a fan, but I admit it's the best way to knit a hat. I think.

Blue and white projexon the knitting needles.
A knitted doll, faceless and hairless, in a yellow top and blue shorts.
#knitting update. A doll that will get orange hair. And a nice doll skirt with two colours! It's nice to try something new on a small project.

A handknitted doll stands on a table, wearing a blue dress and little knitted shoes. Her face is a bit uneven, her hair a bit of a mess, but her smile is close to perfect.
I'm learning, okay. #knitting update. Yes, this doll is a gift. But I'm not yet perfect at doll faces. I've seen a lot of videos and examples. But I can't just replicate what I see without making my own mistakes.
But you can see this is handmade. I made it with love.

Knitting a doll based on a cartoon character, from a regular doll knitting pattern.
#knitting update. Doll 3. It will be Misty, from Pokemon. For myself. I bet she'll look great next to Mariner from Lower Decks.
Yes. I have a list of dolls i will knit for myself.
#knitsky #knit #newbknit
Knitted doll in blue dress. She still needs a face and hair.
#knitting update. Someone requested a doll in a blue outfit. I really like creating dolls with a wardrobe. Still thinking about how to do the face this time.
#knitsky #knit #newbknit
Knitting a doll leg: yarn on the needle, with just about enough yarn left to finish the first leg. I hope.
I frogged my 75% finished doll. Started again on the leg. Sure I have enough. But I am at 27 and need to get to 31. I have enough yarn left, right?

A knitted doll in a star trek uniform from the lower decks series.
#knitting update. The uniform fits. I re-tried the hair. I'm happy with this first lower decks doll. I just have to figure out how to make good ponytails.
#knitsky #newbknit #knit
#startrek
A knitted doll with trousers and a finished top, that was supposed to resemble a Star Trek uniform. I need to re-try. But i love the pattern for the top.
Another #knitting update. I want to create her face and hair, and knit her tiny shoes. But I also want to play whiskerwood and just not hold knitting needles. And I want to knit, while playing.
Why do I not have four hands.
I need to rest from knitting.
#knitsky #newbknit
A knitted doll from head to toe. Actually knitted from toes to head, in on go.
The knitted doll with arms attached and all stuffed, rather cuddly already.
Knitting the star trek uniform for a rather rebellious character.
The doll wearing trousers and the partly finished top, that has the right colours, but not the right distribution of colours yet.
#knitting update. Still learning as a #newbknit. See tag for my bumpy progress.
So. #startrek. I'm figuring out how to knit the top of the uniform. Getting there. I'll probably need a second try to get it perfect.

Three knitted stuffed toys, eeady for cuddles. Two bunnies with floppy ears and a panda.
The body of the knitted panda, standing up straight and stuffed. Knitted from soft chenille.
I had some trouble with the panda eyes. White knots on the black patches, they needed pupils.
#knitting update! Had a bluesky break. Knitted a panda.
The requested panda. I adapted the bunny pattern from Let's Knit Together. It's my favourite pattern now.
#knitsky #knit #newbknit
The panda bear body has been knitted in soft chenille with a white band over the middle of the body.
Knitting the arms of the panda bear in black, while enjoying a lost sweet mince pie and a decaf coffee.
The pattern of the knitted bear is easy to adapt. I just have to use the colour to make a knitted teddy bear into a panda.
#knitting update: panda bear. I offered to make another bunny and got a 'but a panda...'
So I'm adapting. I just need to use black and white ad panda ears instead of bunny ears.

Starting a bron wolf from a knitting pattern. Using an old fashioned row counter that you twist to make the numbers go up.
Wolf head knitted, but im already uncertain it will look good.
Stuffing the various parts of the knitted wolf toy.
The two wolves together. The first one looks slightly better, even if the arms are on at odd angles.
#knitting update, again. Side project wolf number 2. This pattern just doesn't work for me. The bunnies are much better.
Still, i gave it a good try.
#newbknit #knitsky #knit
A grey knitted bunny rabbit an a brown knitted rabbit. Standing side by side with their floppy ears and chunky legs.
#showmeyourknits Knitter's Choice. If I have it right, this is where I can share my personal favourite project. The last 12 months I started knitting again after decades. I did the hats, scarves and a hood. But I loved these rabbits the most. Knitting toys is awesome.
#knitting #knitsky #newbknit
Blue knitting on needles, the bottom of the front panel, with stretchy rib stitches.
#knitting update. I have a lot of knitting posts, because I have more time to knit.
Look at how stretchy my ribbing is!!! It just folds on itself and can double its size. Really happy with this.
#knit #newbknit #knitsky
Yes, this is the front of my sweater on straight needles.
Back panel of blue knitted sweater on stitch holder.
#knitting update on my first sweater. I counted and counted, but at the neck, my back panel just has too many stitches. I can't make the pattern make sense, either. So hoping that the front will match up if i just follow the pattern.
Lesson learned. Count through pattern.
#newbknit #knitsky #knit
Trio of my knitted toys: my first hippo, and my latest rabbits. You can see improvement.
Rabbits being assembled. The brown rabbit is a bit understuffed. Knitting these toy rabbits is a pretty quick project.
Knitting the brown rabbit's body.
#knitting update.
Second rabbit knitted. And I'm getting better at faces, right?
#knit #knitsky #newbknit
Yarn in white, red, green and a brown, for knitting a little Christmas themed bag.
Cast on and red and white stripes for the elf leggings at the bottom of the bag.
The brown is used for the elf belt on the knitted small bag.
Green above the brown belt, so the rectangular bag looks like an elf outfit.
#knitting update and it's #Xmas
Knitting a gift baggie. Will be finished tomorrow.
#knit #knitsky #newbknit
Newbknit: because i am new at knitting. Kinda.
Almost 1.5 meters of scarf, in light pink and aubergine. Simple design, with a hood, created by stitching the part in the middle together at one side.
Waiting for dinner time. Just #knitting some more of my hooded scarf. I bet it will be finished this weekend.
#knitsky #knit #newbknit
Scarf with hood on the needles, in pink and aubergine purple. About two thirds done i think.
#knitting #newbknit
I forgot to add photographic proof of my knitting.
#knitting update! Took me 2 week, but i can knit at normal speed again.
Knitting the other side of the hood in a lighter colour. Will it look good? I dunno. But it seemed a nice colour combo.
How did I not break my wrists in that fall?
#knitsky #knit #newbknit
Expecting new knit mags!
Aubergine purple knitting project on needles, knitted into a pointy scarf.
Eveining of slow knitting leading to 70cm on needles of hood with scarf project in purple velvety yarn.
Knitting and my coffee is growing cold in the morning. The hood is coming along, still on the needles in aubergine purple.
#knitting update! Sprained wrists or not: I can knit again. Picked up a side quest of knitting a hood. Of course, I didn't have the right yarn, so I heavily recalculated the pattern.
Knitting is maths! With pointy sticks!
#newbknit #knitsky #knit
A knitted stuffed wolf, unfinished and kinda wonky.
Progress on my kitted sweater is going slow but steady. Approximately one third of the back panel is done.
#knitting update!
It's been almost a year since I started knitting. Again. And the knitting is going great!
Not so great at putting toys together. But! I am learning and enjoying the process.
#knit #knitsky #newbknit #toyknitting
Starting knitting on a little wolf, on round knitting needles
The legs are knitted for the wolf
About 12cm of the back of a blue knitted sweater is done
#knitting update! Knitting that first sweater is going ... slow, but well.
So I'm also knitting a little wolf.
#knit #knitsky #newbknit
New sweater cast on straight needles, blue wool for my first sweater.
I definitely prefer regular needles over round knitting. Especially if you're not knitting in the round anyway.
Good for hats, though.
#knitting #knitsky #newbknit #knit
A 21 stitches tension square, in blue wool, on knitting needle.
#knitting update! Though I'm not done with my chunky scarf, I'm knitting the tension square for my first full sweater knit! Exciting!😄
Dark blue and merino wool. Hope it's not too itchy.
#knit #knitsky #newbknit
Cat putting his paws on a blue knitted scarf with a look that says: mine?
#Knitting update: the cat is trying to claim the scarf I'm knitting.
You know, when you decide to use public bits of yarn to make a scarf and then you need up buying more because scarves actually use up a lot of material?
#knit #knitsky #newbknit
Picking up stitches on the edge of a knitted bag, in light and darker blue. Could be neater.
Close up of what's supposed to be a moss stitch. Either way, i think it looks great.
#knitting update! Right, hippo no. 3 is done. Now I'm finishing my little bag. The material is so soft.
#knit #knitsky #newbknit
Picking up stitches from a rounded edge is ... tricky.
Knitted hippos, with clear improvement in execution.
Setting up a new knitting project og a knitted hippo, in grey.
All the knitted parts of the hippo are ready.
A stuffed hippo head and body, to finish up my thirds knitted hippo. Project almost done.
#knitting update! Hippo 3 is done. I put her beside Scotty, my first hippo with the weird smile. You can see improvement. I went down a knitting needle. Small stitches, small hippo. Less overstuffed arms.
#knit #newbknit #knitsky
A blue on blue stripes piece of knitting in what is supposed to be a moss stitch. Very soft velvety chunky material.
#knitting update! I'm so happy I started this! Thank you to the supportive knitters on Bluesky!
I'm almost done with panel 1. I love the velvety yarn. I'm already dreaming of other stuff to knit with it. Wouldn't a sleeveless vest be awesome?
