I finished this baby blanket with a bit of time to spare before its gifting. I had a really fun time doing cables. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky #finishedobject #babyblanket

A green baby blanket on a wooden surface. The blanket is folded half-wise and laid partially on itself. The border of the blanket is in seed stitch, as are two large panels interspaced within the blanket design. Alternating cable columns bracket a middle diamond cable design, which is repeated three times across the blanket.

It was inevitable that I would do a bit of a mess up, but now I get to learn how to drop down and fix cable work. Look at me learning new skills! 🧶 #knitting #knitsky #cables

Design: For a Bonny Babe from Our Best Knit Baby Afghans book. Yarn: Ella Rae Eco Tweed I'm slow going with cables but watching this knit up is very satisfying. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky #wipwednesday #cables #tweed

A green baby blanket is unfinished on knitting needles. The blanket border is done in a seed stitch. The blanket design has repeating cable columns bracketing a diamond cable. The seed stitch lies within each diamond and a seed stitch panel separates each cable panel.

I took a week for hiking 🥾 in Marquette, MI and here is a view of Lake Superior from Black Rocks. This was my first time seeing the lake so calm. #hike #hiking #photography #nature #michigan

This is the second time I've closed the heart, but it is the longest (25ish rows) I've had to dip down. I'm quickly on my way again, so it didn't take too long to fix. 🧶 #knit #knitsky #knitting #handmade

Pre-block on my Halsa Neckwarmer, or if you are from my generation we might call this a "dickie." I realized I do not have enough fun and warm winter wear, so I did a quick chunky knit to wear under a coat. 🧶 #knitsky #knitting #handmade

A handknit bib, 2 short front and back panels with a collar, in multicolored yarn. The collar is done as a turtleneck. The yarn colors are warm and cool tones blues, greens, and oranges.

I am trying out a chunky vest. I was between the sizing M and L. The two sizes have the same neck stitch count. It's much too big so I frogged it. I'm trying out the S and adding increases to the yoke if needed. Ravelry link to pattern in the comments. 🧶 #knitting #knit #knitsy #handmade #fashion

I have never knit a plushie before, so if you have a trick you've learned, advice, or any helpful comment, I'm all ears! I'm gifting an adult, so one would hope I don't need to worry about choking hazards. But, ya never know! 🧶 #knit #knitting #knitsky #plushieknit

Half of the sidewalk nearest the street is brick lined. A bench sits near the shops and a street lamp and bike rack line the street on the right.
