Something I’m proud of for #ShowMeYourKnits - this is the most complicated cable knit I’ve done, it took ages! Pattern by Marie Wallinn 🧶

Latest baby jumper is all sewn up - it’s the Simpkin pattern by Martin Storey, I am tempted to make an adult size version of this for myself! 🧶

Today I have felted a fancy fish! Not sure I will be doing a lot of needle felting, but it was a fun kit to try out

It’s scarf week for #ShowMeYourKnits - here’s one I made earlier this year to try out a cable pattern. 🧶

Another work in progress for #ShowMeYourKnits - I have been trying out patterns from the Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible. These will probably turn into a blanket at some point, once I’ve made some more and blocked them 🧶

#ShowMeYourKnits this week is “what’s on your needles?”. I’m on sleeve 2 of Baby Max’s jumper, having had to rethink the front, as it wasn’t doing justice to the lovely colourwork pattern. Now I think I may run out of wool, as I’m knitting a size bigger than intended! 🧶

Welcome back @livrunsfast.bsky.social and thanks for my guest host spot last week! This is the last adult sweater I made, for my brother for Christmas #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

Morning all! The lovely @livrunsfast.bsky.social has trusted me to look after #ShowMeYourKnits today and our theme for the week is BABY KNITS. Whether it’s booties or blankets, jumpers or jackets, show us your tiniest, cutest makes, made for all the lovely little people in your life! 🧶

This week’s #ShowMeYourKnits is all about sustainability- I loved this wool and the Rowan cable pattern, but when it got attacked by moths I decided a reknit was needed (there is a hat somewhere too, though I can’t find a photo) 🧶

Congrats on 2 years of #ShowMeYourKnits, one of my favourite bits of the week without fail! Here’s a baby dress I made, twice 🧶

Baby pinafore with central cables in a crazy multi coloured yarn (from Tiger, I think)

The same dress in a more reserved green, which shows the cabling off better

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

I think it’s fair to say I have had plenty of value from one Sirdar baby jumper pattern (these are from 2014-18, I’ve made it many times since too!) 🧶#ShowMeYourKnits

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

This week’s #ShowMeYourKnits is the stuff that makes knitting more fun - here are some personalised needles from a Secret Santa plus my ridiculous knitting bookshelf (photo is from 2024, there are no gaps now, mainly due to my charity shop habits) 🧶

Ever since I organised the sashiko and boro workshop at work I’ve been obsessed! Finished and bound the table mat today #embroidery

Last but not least, this is a Rowan baby jumper that I have made quite a few times that has a great texture (all just knit and purl stitches) #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

Another WIP blanket square using a pattern from the Japanese Knitting Bible - might need to frog this as I made a few mistakes during France Morocco last night #ShowMeYourKnits

Work in progress knitted lace square in white cotton, possibly a bit too full of holes and stretchy to fit with the other squares I’ve made so far

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

#ShowMeYourKnits and I’m still knitting cotton squares to try out patterns from the Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible (keep getting distracted by embroidery!) 🧶

#ShowMeYourKnits this week is BLUES - here are a few blue things that I’ve probably posted before as part of this amazing challenge 🧶

Blue cabled cardigan (Marie Wallin pattern)

Blanket in multiple squares of blue and white (including a few crocheted squares made by a colleague)

The sewing machine was not perfected in one heroic flash. Elias Howe’s lockstitch was a major breakthrough, but Isaac Singer’s improvements helped turn the sewing machine a useful tool. #FashionConservatory #SingerSewingMachine #IsaacSinger #EliasHowe #SewingHistory #SewingMachine #FashionHistory

Ha ha, just remembered this photo of me with knitting that I got my husband to take when I was doing some work-related knitting during COVID - cringe as it is, I think I put it on LinkedIn nonetheless! #ShowMeYourKnits

#ShowMeYourKnits is blankets this week - here’s one from earlier this year, mainly knitted by me, but with a few crochet squares from work colleagues. Not quite sewn together as planned, but it was a team effort for charity and was appreciated 🧶
