Picking up my embroidery for the first time in a few years. Perfect for a chilled out Saturday, listening to DnD @criticalrole.bsky.social

#ShowMeYourKnits #GarterStitch a beautiful shawl that made me think of stained glass windows. Knit as a single piece.
A handknitted shawl with petals of different coloured leaves, each outlined in brown that make up the whole. Draped over a grey sofa.

Camping in the rain, next to a forest, reading Weird Woods in my tent while drinking coffee. Perfect. Thank you @britishlibrary.bsky.social

I needed new dishcloths, I had leftover cotton yarn, I now have 3 new, colourful dishcloths. I love knitting 😁
Three hand knitted cotton, square dishcloths. One yellow and grey, one red and grey, and one blue and grey.

I need new dishcloths so the sensible thing is to buy some right? Not get out my knitting needles 😁

I finished the big blanket! It’s the heaviest thing I’ve knitted and has already been used by child no 2 to give extra snuggliness in bed

Finished! All my stash yarn knitted and used up, and a huge blanket now in my room to keep me warm at night and when meditating.

I will finish this blanket this weekend because it’s too big to pack away now. I need it finished and in my room 🧶 #knitting

Finally got so frustrated at not having the needles I needed that I splurged with all the KnitPro 25cm needles that I’m likely to use. 2.25mm and 3.25mm are missing from the pic as they’re in use now!

Storm Bert isn’t as bad here as some parts of the UK but it’s still a jigsaw and stay inside kind of day.

I’m getting closer to finishing this sleeve. The dip in temperature is motivating me to finish so I can be snuggly. #Knitting

I had 2 friends round tonight for a crafting evening. I love crafting and I love solitude, but crafting with friends is special and something to do more. (Stash blanket was project for tonight)

Loving how this is winding up - it’s the Good Omens 4ply from Skeinhawk Yarns and it feels so nice. It’s going to be part of my stash-busting blanket. #knitting
