The body of a hand-knit chicken in progress, laid out on a black velvet surface. The bulk of the body is knit in a striping yarn in white and hues of purple, with four contrasting stripes in a darker purple. A circular needle is visible in the top of the work, with the working yarn barely visible on the left-hand side.

Almost finished with this lovely, but I can't settle on a comb/wattle color. Beak will be yellow. So ... red, yellow, the darker purple ... thoughts? 🧶

A beautiful gradient grey hand-knit chicken with red eyes, wearing two beaded necklaces. Each necklace is made with varying hues of red glass beads and a single silver charm - one flower, one butterfly.

While my jewelry supplies were out, I decided to make valentines day necklaces for the work chickens. Here they are modeled by Lilith, The Most Beautiful Hen. 🧶

We appear to have settled into a nice striping situation. 🧶

One hank and one cake of sock weight yarn, both in hues of blue, green, and purple, on a black surface, with a red and silver circular sock knitting needle. The hank of yarn has a white paper band with a red sheep on it, and says Bad Sheep Yarn in black letters. The color name for this yarn is Alexandrite.

Taking my mother for a procedure this morning, so I caked up one hank of this lovely sock yarn from @badsheepyarn.bsky.social to take with me. Thinking I may cast on some simple socks. 🧶

A pair of simple striped tube socks, knit in a black and rainbow self-striping yarn.

Firsts for #showmeyourknits ... first pair of socks I ever knit. Just some simple tube socks in Felici Dark Side. I wish the colors were this saturated in person. 🧶

Whites and brights for #showmeyourknits? Okay, how's this? 🧶

Front view of a hand knit chicken sitting in front of a grey faux fur blanket. She has been knit primarily in a black yarn wrapped in a multicolor thread in greens, purples, and blues, with a black face, underside, comb, and wattle. She has a bright yellow beak and pale blue eyes that match the top of her head near perfectly.

I didn't really enjoy knitting up this yarn. I have convinced myself I now need glasses after sewing this project without using a floodlight. But damn if she didn't turn out beautiful. 🧶

Both of these chickens look like they've seen some shit. 🧶

I have seamed enough chickens during this project that I'm feeling much happier with my results. Just look at this fun little lady. 🧶

I wonder about how many chickens one could knit from this. 🧶

A freshly-wound cake of multicolor yarn in hues of turquoise and grey, on a black velvet surface.

Just caked another ball of Brava Stripe so I can finish the underbelly, and I wish I had pulled this one first. One knot toward the end, but all the color changes are in order. 🧶

A piece of multicolor hand knitting in hues of turquoise and black/grey. The working yarn is draped across the piece. The black and the turquoise were originally knotted together, but are now connected via Russian join. The next color was supposed to be dark grey, not turquoise.

I'm glad I'm just using this ball of Knit Picks Brava Stripe to knit a chicken, because this is the second time in one ball where two colors were loosely knotted together out of color sequence. If I had been making anything else, I'd be pretty mad. 🧶

A small piece of black hand knitting in progress, on a wood-tipped circular knitting needle, draped over a steering wheel. The scene is illuminated by this peculiar phenomenon known as "sunlight".

For the second day off in a row, I have had to get out of bed, put on outside clothes, and venture forth into public. Rude. At least this time I get to sit in my vehicle and knit.

A closeup of a variegated grey knit hat to show off the metallic thread. So color. Much sparkle. Wow.

The recipient is too small for this right now, but I love this little baby hat! I used one dpn that was larger than the others, which resulted in a little texture. And it sparkles! 🧶
