Gray handknit sock with elegant lace design

This is only my second year participating in #sockmadness, but the Round 2 sock is one of my favorites.

Bain is a gorgeous scarf with celtic style cables on both sides of the fabric, shown here with a little over a foot of knitting completed in green. After adding a few rows each spring, I have decided to repurpose the yarn for the blanket underneath. The rhythm was not for me at this time, though it is a brilliant design.

I haven't had the heart to rip out the scarf in the foreground, so I simply broke the yarn and began adding to the blanket. I should have enough of this green to fill in eight dominoes between the petals already worked in darker shades of green. Shown in the foreground is the intricate green scarf. Behind is the Domino Star Stashbuster Afghan with eight dark points completed and a new green one in progress between two dark petals.

A star-shaped afghan made of radiating rings of elongated diamonds moves from orange to yellow to green with light grey accents. A medium green petal is being added to the star near the top of the photo, and next to it a corner of the previously mentioned scarf simulates a second petal in the new color.

For green 💚 week at #ShowMeYourKnits how about an update on last week's entry:
I took the opportunity to do a rare thing and call quits on a couple longstanding projects, and today I add another to the rip list as I move forward with my Domino Star #Stashbuster Afghan.

A man wearing a brown sweater turns away from the camera to show his striped stocking cap with a green folded brim. The shifting purples and blues in the hat play well with the striped kerchief cowl

A man wearing a brown stocking cap with a folded green brim looks to the side. He is wearing a blue-purple and white striped cowl over a brown cabled sweater

A green and purple striped hat coordinates with a cabled brown sweater and a white and blue-purple striped kerchief cowl.

The handspun yarn just plied on a supported spindle resting in a wooden bowl with a built-in pedestal, resting on the arm of a sofa

My #musselburgh hat is fully done (blocked). It matches my Abbey Road Kerchief pretty well! Yarns are my handspun (color shifting) and Jill Draper Makes Stuff Ansel. It's really cozy, perfect for this cold snap we're getting.

A man models a garter stitch vest with a diagonal pointing from the underarm to the front corner of the open front.

A man leans toward the camera to show the blue i-cord join traveling from shpulder to shoulder across the back.

The oatmeal colored vest is folded forward to show where the collar will be joined to the back at the shoulders.

An L-shaped piece of knitted garter stitch fabric shows the angled line at the front corner where the direction of the knitting turned. A partial plate of unspun Icelandic wool and skein of silk mohair yarn reveal the composition of the heathered fabric

First project of the year completed, first EZ Ribwarmer, first garment made with Icelandic wool, and my first full project held double with silk mohair yarn.
It's #ShowMeYourKnits Firsts week!

While meeting up with old knitting buddies, we accidentally found ourselves standing outside the shop that got me started on my journey with the harp. A man excitedly points to a shop window that reads "Virginia Harp Center"

Here's a #knittingpattern I designed this past year for a local yarn crawl. It ticks a few boxes for things I want in a pattern, and I'm proud of it for its simplicity and "fun-to-make"-ness.

A man clad in knits hunches forward so much that the picture has been turned at an angle. He is wearing a grey cabled hat, a dark blue v-neck cardigan, purple mittens, and a striped bandana cowl in white alternating with shifting tones of teal and purple

It's dealer's choice for #ShowMeYourKnits, so here's a WIW moment while visiting with old friends.
1. A cabled hat I drafted some years back
2. Oscail cardigan
3. Splitbark mittens
4. Abbey Road Kerchief - I'll add the pattern page in a separate post with more details

Cabled wrap in orange, green, and brown yarn - one hank of Charity by Briar Rose Fibers. Complicated braids flank a central honeycomb cable panel, with simple rope cables interspersed across the wrap. The colors match the fallen leaves.

A man wearing a cowl worked in orange, yellow, and blue bows his head to mimic the posture of a nearby statue. The metal statue wears a robe with a cowl neck or oversized collar that looks like a cowl; he is pulling up the collar as if to protect him against the wind that is blowing his hair. Yarn is Feederbrook Farm Entropy DK and a solid from a festival booth purchase.

The view looking down when wearing a long cowl, showing a closeup of the cowl fabric next to a hand holding a cup of apple cider. The reds and oranges in the contrast yarn pull in the warmth of the cider against the blue and light brown of the main fabric. Yarn is Briar Rose Fibers Fourth of July.

A man wearing a brilliant yellow-orange ribbed hat and a doubled-up cowl looks to the side. The orange and blue Dust Jacket Cowl has dotted stripes and boxy patterning alternated. The hat is reversible for two looks. Hat is worked in Plucky Knitter Legacy Worsted

The #autumnknitting theme for #ShowMeYourKnits is too good; so here's a few more projects on theme

A man looks to the side, sunlight cutting across his cabled vest knit in handdyed dark blue yarn. Yarn is one hank of Briar Rose Fibers Charity

Man wears the same pattern vest worked in Charity again, this time in a warm medium brown

The man has long hair here, and is smiling at the camera. He is wearing a dark brown cardigan vest with a cable stitch borrowed from Thea Colman's Upper West hat and sweater. Yarn is Harrisville Designs Highland. The vest has a slight collar.

Super short hair and sunglasses this time to go with a green seater with a delicate cable panel running down one side. Yarn is Kelbourne Woolens Scout

For Autumn 🍂 week at #ShowMeYourKnits, how about a few vests?

Thin, tapered, blue knit scarf with textured panels, hanging over a taupe-colored wooden privacy fence.

#ShowMeYourKnits scarf week.

Finished just last week: Pierre Skinny Scarf by Stephen West.

The annual shawl mystery knitalong isn't for me, but I dig when he designs simple pieces showcasing texture.

#menwhoknit #queerknitters

A man with shoulder length hair and glasses wears a scarf draped over his shoulders. A cabled tree motif moves into winding rounded diamonds. The scarf halves are different colors, one half light blue and the other a darker blue-gray.

A blue cabled scarf rests on a rock by a river

A man bends low toward the camera. He is smiling and wearing a brightly colored scarf with stripes and a diagonal motif.

A richly cabled scarf shows two sides, each distinct and attractive

#ShowMeYourKnits scarf week, eh? Where to start...
I've designed a few traditional scarves, so I'll drop them here, I guess.

Why am I already getting emails about “great” new Christmas crochet & knit patterns?? Where’re my spooky season patterns???? Why’re you trying to skip spooky season???? 🥺 #ItsTooEarlyForChristmas #queerknitters #queercrocheters 🧶

Girasole: Blue circular lace blanket hanging over a branch next to a rock, with sunlight shining through to display the sunflower center surrounded by angular motifs radiating outward.

The rich blue Girasole draped over a log. The lace gives a distinct design in this knitted lace blanket. Yarn is Plymouth Yarns Encore Worsted.

Leaves of Grass: A circular lace blanket displayed against an old shed. The photo filter is strong, lending a moody atmosphere to this blue piece knit with a shiny blue variegated yarn by Briar Rose Fibers.

The edge of Leaves of Grass features a beautiful zigzag lace motif. The silvery blue color is easy to see in this image.

For #ShowMeYourKnits blues week: two circular lace blankets by Jared Flood that I knit in 2013 and 2014 - Leaves of Grass and Girasole.

A knitted chicken with magenta comb, brown head, black body, trans pride flag colored rings around its neck, magenta stripe bordering a vivid rainbow tail

Side view of knitted chicken shows the way the tail rainbow colors are striped together for transitions between each color

The other side of the chicken, with a slightly different eye placement

Knitted chicken is laid on its side to show the magenta base, joined to the black body by a not completely straight chain of single crochet. The chain is worked in a variegated blue-purple yarn by Seacolors Yarnery

And chicken number 15 is done! Did this one with lovely group at the yarn shop. Happy #Pride🌈 to the beautiful person you are.

My New Years Day Sweater! Because who doesn’t like bears? Pattern is #narniajumper by @thepetiteknitter. Yarn is @lionbrandyarn Roving. This was such a fun knit and the directions were clear and well written. I’m sure I’ll knit it again at some point. #narniasweater #queerknitters #guyswhoknit

Crop top is in the "horrible awful prison for unagreeable projects" bag because I once again miscounted and had too few stitches. I frogged it and am starting over YET AGAIN. 🫠

I'm fine. 🙃🙃🙃

Progress pic of that crochet vest! ☠️💀🪦💔 Took it apart a little bit ago. I thought it felt too bulky, besides screwing up the top part! Try try again! 🧶🤗 #beginnerknitter #knitting #queerknitters

I love this jumper almost as much as I love @jackmunro.bsky.social.
