#ShowMeYourKnits this week is patterns you’ve knit multiple times. The pattern I’ve made the most is Lucy’s Owl, which I’ve made for multiple niblings (and my own kid). The first two are almost identical since I used the same yarn for the body. #knitsky #knitting 🧶

Oh my, thanks everyone! I am very excited about this sweater. When I saw the pattern I knew I needed to make it, even though I was intimidated by fingering-weight colorwork! If it doesn’t fit I might cry

Coming back to #ShowMeYourKnits after a hiatus, and the theme this week is green. I really like green but somehow don’t have a lot of green projects. Here’s a baby sweater I knit over a year ago. It’s the Sunnyside cardigan, knit in Cascade Heritage 150. #knitsky #knitting 🧶

It’s in alt text but I’ll put it here too: it’s Merino Sock from Blue Hands Fibers, in the colorway Codemonkey (I think it’s Ravelry-themed). I got it years ago in a destash. Unfortunately I’m pretty sure it’s discontinued.

It’s sweater week for #ShowMeYourKnits, so here’s one I don’t think I’ve shared before. This is Nydia by Vanessa Smith knit in Rowan Cashsoft DK. The color is actually more of a sage green in person. The lighting makes it look tan here. #knitting #knitsky 🧶

Stripes for #ShowMeYourKnits. A pair of socks using Knit Picks Felici. I only had one 50g skein so I didn’t try to make the stripes match up, in order to use every bit of yarn. This is a basic toe-up sock pattern that I modified with tiny cables. #knitsky #knitting 🧶

It was so difficult to choose colors! I’m still not sure I 100% like what I chose. I was trying to knit from stash which constrained me a bit. I remember a lot of people knit this during the MKAL so there are lots of examples in Ravelry to look at for inspiration!
