I am usually knitting, with some crocheting and spinning when I can tear myself away from knitting. I also help out my friend in her hand-dyed yarn business, Kat's Riverside Studio. I'm Aniko on Ravelry.

Currently working on the Vaddel Sweater by Gudrun Johnston. I'm being as monogamous as I can. I did start another sweater but am only working on that when this one is blocking (I block multiple times as I knit a project. I suspect my sleeves might be too long 🤷🏻‍♀️) #showmeyourknits #knitting 🧶
