Knitting a jumper on circular needles
When the world is too much I knit. Joining the sleeves to the body now.
#Knitting #SkyKnits
I didn't do the contrast yarn on the cuff because I didn't really like the way it looked but by the time I'd come to that conclusion it was too late and I wasn't going to pull it out again! #knitting #showmeyourwork #WIP #SkyKnits
The body of a jumper knit in the round bottom up in purple chunky Alpaca with the beginnings of the sleeve along with it
That’s the body done to the underarm and I’ve started the sleeve. #WIP #SkyKnits #Knitting
Bottom up jumper knitted in the round.
I’m back more or less to where I was, this pattern seems to be a reasonable size. #SkyKnits #Knitting #Alpaca
Big Liberty pullover by Susan Mills
I think maybe that my concentration isn't back to normal yet, I knit the rib and about 20 rounds of my new jumper before I realised it was so big I could use it as a tent. I was knitting the smallest size so I've pulled it out and I'm starting again with this one. #knitting #skyknits
A Hayfield pattern for a stranded colour work jumper with the rib on the needles next to it
Ooh, I must be feeling better even though I’m still coughing. I’ve started a new jumper. #knitting #SkyKnits #Alpaca #Aran

A bundle of old knitting patterns won on eBay
Ooh I just won a bundle of knitting patterns on eBay, I don't much care for the 80's styles but there are some vintage gems in there. #SkyKnits #Knitting #Yarn #KnittersOfBlueSky #Vintage #FairIsle #StrandedKnitting
The yoke of a top down stranded pullover.
I pulled out my knitting, I just wasn't enjoying it plus the choice of yarn made it very hard to see if I'd got the pattern right and I suspect I hadn't. My concentration has left the building, now looking for a new project #SkyKnits #Knitting #Yarn #KnittersOfBlueSky
Fixed the split wood, cleaned up the inside including removing the torn pocket and giving it a coat of finish restorer
My Latest #knit, pattern by #ElenorMortensen #GoldenPoppy
Here we go, dismantled, glued, pinned and a drop of finish restorer then remantled and we are good to go. #SkyKnits #Knitting #Crafting #Restoration
Woman wearing hand knit cardigan.
My first time knitting a cardigan. Very tedious, and I will be open about my dislike for sewing on sleeves. However, I'm incredibly happy with the final result!
Pattern is www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
Yarn is my own hand dyed DK weight Hawthorn.

A dark blue oversized jumper with copper coloured stylised floral pattern and copper ribbing at the hip, cuffs and large roll neck collar. The jumper is on a wooden coat hanger and is hanging on the door of a plain, 1920s, antique oak cupboard made.
I’ve previously shared the WIP of this 1960s jumper that I made my sister, so I thought I’d share a pic of the FO for sweater week #showmeyourknits Luckily I got it finished well before the cold weather ended and it’s been keeping her toasty warm for weeks #vintageyarn #skyknits 🧶 #1960s
My next knit will be The Golden Poppy by Elenor Mortensen, I have charcoal grey, lilac and sand coloured yarn from my stash to use up so the colours will be adjusted accordingly. I hope that puppy lets me knit! www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #SkyKnits
Cabling hurts my brain! Remind me never to start an aran jumper…. #skyknits

A blue child’s jumper lies on a cream painted table. The jumper is knit from vintage 1970s, blue variegated yarn which makes a random pattern of several shades of blue and white. The ribbing at the waist, cuffs and neckline are all a darker blue as is a stocking stitch detail across the shoulder
I had to rack my brain for #showmeyourknits #garterstitch week! It took me while to think of something, then I realised I had a jumper I made this year that qualified. 1980s #vintagepattern for a child’s jumper made from 70s #vintageyarn with a stocking stitch shoulder saddle #skyknits 🧶
A tailors dummy is displaying a lacy little cowl, knit with a 100% buffalo down yarn and embellished with beads. The cowl drapes and folds beautifully around the neck. The yarn is a deep brown and beads are gold.
