#knitsky #perimenopause Anyone here have experience with frozen shoulder during peri-menopause? Did knitting make it worse? I think I’m in the starting weeks of frozen shoulder and i’m curious if knitting contributing to the pain. Here is my last completed object. A gnome!!! With snowshoes!! 😍🌲

Welp, this is it. Good people are hiding endangered people in their homes. We are effectively living and Nazi Germany. It’s time to get up, stand up, and fight for your life.

Took an hour to knit outside in the sun for my mental health. It’s a fisherman’s rib “gaptastic” scarf for my 90’s vibe loving niece. After so much rain in the PNW, the political climate, and perimenopause, this feels so critical. Also check out this pod: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Trying something different. Empty dry active yeast bottle, covered with air dry clay, then painted. Such a fun crafty moment. I want to try new things this year!!! I think I’m going to tone down the mushrooms and add white dots…

Join me in celebrating three things this morning. 1. My stellar selfie skills. lol 2. How spectacularly silver my hair is getting. 3. I finally finished this clapoktus that I started 2017. I had to pick apart every single drop stitch because the yarn was felting. #knitting #knitsky #claptoktus

Finished another #Gnome!!! This gorgeous cabled dude is joining his GF on a journey to my sisters. They are going to be Christmas #gifts…. I absolutely love #knitting! #knitsky

A hand knit gnome, dark gray, with a light, gray beard and nose

The same gnome held up by his tall pointy hat that has a pom-pom on the tip. His hat usually flaps over, and there is a cabled design on the hat.

Two gnomes posed together. One is gray with a beard, the other is holiday themed with a green hat, red berries on the brim, orange sweater, white nose and braids. Her sweater has a sweatshirt pocket on the front.

This weeks #showmeyourknits is perfect for me. I have one project languishing (garden gate) while I work on another (mossblossom). I guess I’m not as polyknitterous as I usually am, I typically have more #WIPS going. I’ve finished a few recently. 🥹

#WIPWednesday #knitting #knitsky Managed to get a few more rows in on my Mossblossom. The instructions are correct, the pattern is very easy to memorize. This is now my travel project. 😃

#showmeyourknits #sweaters I have knit and shown y’all so many sweaters. It’s the only thing I really knit. I keep wanting to try knitting gnomes, and Christmas ornaments, but for some damn reason, I always cast on another sweater. 😆 (although I just cast on Mossblossom, which is a shawl…)

This is my favorite knit sweater: hummulus by Isabel Kramer. Mods, I carried the contrast color down to the bind off of the sleeves and added a sweatshirt pocket on the front.

Alt text: a woman standing in front of a window showing off her sweater. The sweater is a soft light taupe color with a bluish green contrasting pattern that reminds one of hops.

#Knitting #knitsky #summer #summersounds Nothing quite like knitting outside in the last of summer’s heat. It’s still pretty warm here in the Pacific Northwest, so I have my newly cast on Mossblossom on my needles, my feet in a “pool,” and am surrounded by my dogs. It’s absolutely lovely.

#showmeyourknits #babyweek I’ve only made a handful of baby items because there’s not a lot of babies in my life. Upon second thought, maybe there are babies and I just avoid them. 😉

A tiny green knit hat with colorful flowers over stitch on it

A purple knit set for a little girl with a poncho with flour buttons and green light, blue and dark blue, a hat with a pom-pom, and leg warmers.

Sweater update: I haven’t given the sweater to CJ yet, I wanted to dye a little swatch to show her what it could be like if we died it with Pearl Grey Rit Dye. The sample came out so cute!!!! I actually love it. I’m curious which one she will pick. #ranunculus #knitting #knitsky #yarndying

Zoomed in photo of a handknit light blue sweater with interesting texture. A small swatch of the same yarn that’s been over dyed to much more moody blue-charcoal color pinned to it with a teal stitch marker.

Leftovers and scraps for this week’s #showmeyourknits? I present my weekender light and scrappy hat from the leftovers!!! Both are gorgeous and I wear them all the time!! #knitting

It’s done!!! Ranunculus #5 is ready to gift!!! Just needs to be blocked. It was rainy this morning, so I decided to wait until tomorrow when the temps are supposed to climb again. Is so damn cute. Love the cropped look.

A light blue variegated hand knit sweater hanging on a black hanger in front of an old oak door. The sweater has eyeholes and texture around the yoke and twisted stitch ribbing on the neckline, cuffs, and bottom edge.

Welp. Just started my 5 (!!) Ranunculus. This time in Aquamarine Malabrigo Rios for my 12 yo niece. Should be perfect for school. She likes crop tops, so I’ll keep this one short. #knitsky #knitting #yarnlover

A light blue sweater in process of being knit. The sweater has decorative details on the yoke. It’s atop a cream couch pillow on top an orange leather sofa.

For this weeks summer knits theme, here is my Bolan in linen. It’s such a lightweight knit. And so easy to wear. This top is special to me. Because my neighbor gifted me the yarn, and we knit one together. ❤️ #knitting #showmeyourknits

I made some shorts to celebrate the warm weather hitting the PNW today!!! For years I’d wear things that were very understated and plain. Since embracing my ND brain, I learned that I absolutely adore handmade details. Plus got to reuse some old jeans!! 👖 ♻️ #Craftsky #makers

A pair of blue jean cut off shorts with two flower decal stitched on. Took old blue jeans from my fabric stash and cut out flower petal shapes from various colors. Then stitch them on with white thread.

(Shakes head in disgust.) My heart breaks for future generations. I hope it’s not as bad as the game, Fallout. Obviously, Fallout is nuclear: climate is absolutely massive in the destruction it can wreak. Generations, please forgive me. I am so damn sorry.

I don’t crochet. And I am exclusively right handed. Anybody have any tips on learning how to knit continental? I’d really like to learn, but I find the process so freaking tedious and awkward. Here is my current wip. I’m literally dropping the MC, picking up the CC, and switching. 🤪

DebKnitsaLittleCrazy @debhayward.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

#showmeyourknits #knitsky This weeks theme is color work…. Ugh. I’m not a huge color work fan because I find it terribly difficult to knit continental so I have to drop the MC to pick up the CC color then switch. It’s so slow…

Welp. I frogged it again. 3rd time. Fuck me. Remind me to stick to the suggested yarn weight and not try to get all fancy pantsy. I WILL FINISH THIS DAMN SWEATER!!! I cast on again. Wish me luck and patience.

#knitsky. Thoughts on pockets? I like sweatshirt pockets for sensory reasons, but I’ve not yet tried regular pockets. What are your experiences or preferences?

Hey y’all!!! I did a thing that I’m so excited about! I’ve tried #gardengate 3 times now. 1st my gauge was puckered. 2nd my gauge GREW and it was huge. 3rd time is the charm!!! Gauge is spot on and it fits! It feels so amazing to have finally gotten it right. #knitsky #knit #yarnislife #sweater

#showmeyourknits week is lace!! I’m not a huge lace knitter. But fading point by Joji Locatelli was too beautiful to pass up. Here is my version. It has sections of lace between the fade. #knitsky #knitting

Restarting #gardengate for the 3rd time. You can see in the second photo how far I got last time before I realized my gauge through the color work had grown. It was HUGE. But I had pockets started and everything… 🥺 Here’s to third time’s the charm!! #knitsky #nevergiveup #resistanceknitters

Obviously I watch too much tv, because my brain went immediately to: “Who was on that American Airlines flight? That doesn’t look like an accident.”
