How it was going vs how it's now going. Friday evening my cable snapped. Luckily there are yarn shops in London that sell the same make, so I'm on a longer cable. Starting to look like a doily! #knitsky 🧶

Fancy lave knitting against a train seat a finger points at the end of the snapped cable. The other end of the break is at the top of the piece

The same lace knitting, happily back on the needles and rather more spread out.

I've had a surprisingly good start of the year, finishing three things. Obviously my next finish will be a while away! The Passerine Hat by Erica Heusser, and the Karen Washington Cowl and Frances Perkins shawl, both by @bunnymuff.bsky.social #ShowMeYourKnits because two out of three are pink. 🧶

A pale pink knitted hat with a row of burgundy birds sitting on twigs round it. The pale pink has flashes of green and yellow, like childhood sweets

A rectangle of knitting sits on a yellow blocking mat. The knitting has stripes of pink, a bright light blue and navy blue, sme with colourwork motifs. The central stripe has blue sheep on a bink background. You can make out the pink heads of a row of hares on the bottom blue stripe, and the bodies of squirrels on the top blue stripe.

A large green, blue and white shawl sits on a variety of mats. The shawl is triangular and covered in colourwork animals, going up to mountains and clouds along the long top edge. The animals include a beaver, various birds, some deer, a bear, a fox, a bat and a dragon. It's framed with a border of leaves and berries.

Ok knitsky friends, do I rip back 15 rows of colourwork and do it again because it's bumpy. It's bad Ladder Back Jacquard every three stitches, but I might go for 2 or even ouble knit. #knit 🧶

Oi @bangface.bsky.social, thanks for the fantastic party, see you next year! I was the one sat at the back knitting a lot, especially on Sunday after dancing my legs out on Saturday.

I currently have 4 WIPs, but photos of only the most recent two. Both MKALs of course. Wisterious by Nim Teesdale in some goreous Finnish four ply. Karen Washington by @bunnymuff.bsky.social in WYS Bo Peep. DK goes so fast! 🧶 #ShowMeYourKnits

Grey-green yarn with beads worked unto lace knitting with leaf-like triangles and wisteria petals.

Hot off the needles, a jumper for my baby nephew. Both his parents are geologists, so obviously I used the Fossil Frenzy dinosaur designs. Just got to sew it all together. 🧶 #ShowMeYourKnits

A small bright lime green knit. The body has a dark blue t-rex skull in the middle and footprints round above the welt. The sleeves are not attached and also have footprints just above the cuff. All three sit on top of a pattern book called Knitting Fashion

For the first time since 2020, I'm not camping for the Mayday bank holiday weekend. Instead I'm trying to catch up with art projects, which includes mounting knitting. Look at this stack of Nieblings! 🧶

A stack of black hoops, up to a metre across, with knitting stretched out in them. The top piece is white with four single flowers and a leaf border, not fully mounted. Below is a multicoloured and a red piece. There's a mug, scissors and boots lying around, and a loom in the background.

Today I *am* going to finish plying this Teeswater. And I couldn't resist this knitting book. A much needed holiday used as crafting time. #handspinning 🧶

A Tibetan style supported spindle with a small cop of nearly white plied yarn, wound very neatly in a criss-cross pattern. The singles are fine and come from a turtle from a Turkish style spindle.

A photo of the cover of Sue Stratford's Knitted Aviary, A flock of 21 beautiful birds to knit. The cover has a knitted robin, kingfisher, pigeon, pheasant, blue tit, puffin and flamingo shown sitting among a branch with felt leaves and daisies. They are all very cute.

Another wip for #ShowMeYourKnits, this time a very colourful Moose and mountains by @bunnymuff.bsky.social. Nearly finished clue 4... 🧶

Blue and green strpes of knitting form the background to a white pattern of fir trees, mountains and a moose. There is a decorative band running across the middle and a lot of orange stitch markers along the needle edge.

I'm only slightly late posting the spinning I promised someone a few days ago... Manx Loaghtan on a drop spindle, both from Adelaide Walker. It's going to be tough not buying lots more fun spinning stuff from Wonderwool Wales in a few weeks, but my fibre stash is not going down fast enough.

My interchangeable needles have betrayed me and started eating my yarn when they unscrew. But look at the glorious quality of this mend that was too far down to redo. So far the only downside of 60 DMC cotton. Also, it's a wip, it counts! #showmeyourknits 🧶

Fingers holding down some fine, slightly off white lace knitting against a dark wood background. The focus area is largely stocking stitch. If one looks really closely, there are two loose ends coming out of the knitting near a section that is ever so slightly denser than the rest.

If you listen closely you can here the knitter swearing because cotton yarn isn't meant to randomly break in four places because it's cordonnet spun and not susceptible to moths.

That moment when you check your tension and you're at 42 stitches per 10 cm and you were meant to be at 30-33... Knitting woes! 🧶

Did #ShowMeYourKnits say it's lace week? My speciality! 🧶 All patterns by Herbert Niebling.

A round black hoop with royal blue lace knitting suspended within. There are sprigs if leaves falling towards the centre and looped shells around the edge.

Pattern is Waldesruh, knitted in approx size 10 cotton.

A close up of the very edge of a lace shawl, pinned to an orange blocking mat. A flower like lace cresent with i-cord loops is in the centre. The colours are pastel, with neon rainbow pops, the loops round the very edge are mauve with spaced rainbows.

Pattern was mashed together from several in order to use up all the yarn from an advent calendar. (Yarn dyer sells jkr merch so I won't list them)

A fine knitted round lace doily pinned to a lime green mat. The background is yellow with six flowers radiating from the centre. The stems and leaves are two shades of green. There are three different pinks in the petals, two flowers of each. The petal are each hearts coming out of the green stem, joining the next petal at the lobes. The edge is made of dark and light blue and orange. It doesn't fit the design well, and the three large holes in it look like gaping faces.

Pattern is Hertzblume, and used intarsia to highlight the different sections. While you can't see them, there are hundreds of ends tucked behind the knitting.

A folded up white doily is pictured, against a red and purple blanket. The knitting is a hex mesh background with a single large flower in it. The flower has rwo leaves and a long stem, with six petals, remeniscent of a peacock tail. The edging is all crumpled, but shows sprigs if leaves and a looped edging.

Pattern is Otto, worked in size 10 Anchor Aida. The cordonnet spin of this thread made it a joy to work with and a real shame that it has been discontinued.

It's all gone a bit tits up. Picking up 50 stitches after ripping back 8 rows while sat on a train stuck in Coventry due to signalling problems. I suppose at least I have my knitting! 🧶

I started the @bunnymuff.bsky.social MKAL. Loving it so far, but very glad I bought some short tips misguidedly a few years ago. Yarn is WYS signature. Definitely not subtitle tv knitting! 🧶 This is the floral side because the other is just a bird's bum!

A day curled up under blankets feeling ill is a day to very slowly finish casting off this beastie #knitting
