A cabled cardi for a friend’s niece - she is an extremely cute toddler!

I’m still in the pretending stage (although technically I am knitting a gift, it’s just not a seasonal one!)

#ShowMeYourKnits this week is socks (which I rarely make). Here are some baby bootees instead from a few years ago 🧶

This is so lovely, the combination of pattern and colour is beautiful

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Thank you! I love the colours on this kit, so I went with it first. There are three more to go, all slightly different colour combinations, so I’ll have to see how those work out. Needless to say, I am neglecting my knitting though!

My #embroidery obsession continues! Have moved on from insects to mushrooms

I have made the Closet Core Ginger jeans a few times and would recommend - the instructions are pretty clear and I’m sure you would do a great job

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Thank you! It’s an amazing pattern, but not the quickest make

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

There is a recent Sew Over It dress pattern that looks similar to - might be worth investigating?

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

Definitely worth scrolling to the end for the T-rexes!

031

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

It has been added to my possibly over-ambitiously long list!

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

That edging on the Hap blanket is fantastic

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

This is my favourite new pattern discovery of the week, really stunning

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! 🧶

The only problem is that now I want to do all their courses!

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

All beautiful but I especially love the jumper

Thank you @presentcorrect.bsky.social for the recommendation for the London Centre for Book Arts. I had a great day of letterpress printing in this amazing space, what a brilliant experience.

#ShowMeYourKnits this week is autumnal, so here’s a baby jumper with strong pumpkin vibes 🧶

I love those colours! Looks lovely

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Here’s one I made earlier! The pattern is great. If I remade it I would go with the shorter sleeves

The charts are nice and straightforward to follow, my best advice is to dive in and give it a go, it’s definitely easier to start with a small project!

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I love this book - have made a couple of projects so far, but hope to make more!

This is fantastic! Do you have details of the kit please?

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

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

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Ouch! Hope it feels better soon

020

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I love those - and the photos are brilliant too! I must be the only person who hasn’t knitted a Sophie scarf yet (or an Emotional Support Chicken)!

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Beautiful colours, looks lovely

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

That’s exactly what I did with yours! 😊

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I am with you on this one! (This photo is from a couple of years ago, there are no gaps now, as I’ve picked up some good additions secondhand/ from charity shops)

One last #ShowMeYourKnits entry for the week - I’ve started making a Martin Storey jumper for a friend at work 🧶

I was so disappointed that I couldn’t make your pattern though, it looked beautiful when I started, but I didn’t want to chop the ears off! I am sure I will be using it soon

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

This is how much fawn wool I had left at the end!

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

It’s finished! Sadly I couldn’t use the amazing pattern that I got from @samantha-west.bsky.social without chopping the top off the colourwork chart so it just ended up being Fair Isle patterns instead 🧶

That looks beautiful, I love the fabric

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

That is fantastic, am very jealous of the birthday person!

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Thank you, I hope yours goes well. I must admit I like the idea of blankets much more than the reality of making them! It’s only by trying different stitches that I can keep interested!

Vicki Davis @chigster.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Thank you! I have bought some more yarn, so it will grow over time, but I just found out about another baby yesterday, so it’ll be on hold for a while, I fear!
