Hey friends! I just posted a testing call for 2 new patterns! They are a stranded colorwork cowl & hat set. 7 sizes for each pattern and the cowl comes in 2 shapes. If interested, check out the link in my profile. 😊 #knitsky #showmeyourknits #knitting #justknitting #testknit

Continental knitting was a game changer for my ribbing! Finding a way to tension my yarn was the key to my success. Now I can knit both styles which also helps me with colorwork too. Will you try this? #knitsky #justknitting #knitting #knit #knittingtutorial

How do you knit? I started off as a thrower but now I can flick and knit continental. It’s definitely been beneficial for me to know them all. Anyone need to see purling? #knitsky #showmeyourknits #justknitting #knitting #knit

Don’t sweat those final rows! Use a scale to measure frequently and eliminate tears! 😭 🐓 #knitsky #justknitting #knitting #knittingtutorial #showmeyourknits

Break out the big guys! I use between 2-4 needle sizes larger than my project needle to ensure a tidy and relaxed finish 🎉 #knitting #knittingpattern #knitsky #showmeyourknits #justknitting

Finally finished these after waiting for toes for well over a year, oops. 😅 No pattern, just an uneven rib and doing whatever I felt like for a comfort project. #knit #knitting #knitsky #showmeyourknits #sockknitting #socksky

Hard to believe it’s almost been a year since I released Bloomtrail! Love this that so much, I made 5. I think it’s time for some new ones. My littles are growing out of theirs! #knitsky #showmeyourknits #knitting #knit #hatknitting #knithat

For those following along, here is the last peek before I ply! Plying from a ball which can be an exercise in lunacy but I didn’t want to waste any singles of this fiber! 🤡 #handspunhabit #spinsky #handspinning #spinning #knitsky #knitting

Couldn’t be happier with this result! What a joy to be able to make pretty things. Was going for DK but it’s definitely sportish! 338 yds of Merino/bamboo/nylon. Spun as a traditional 2 ply fractal. 🌅 #knitting #knitsky #spinning #spinningyarn #knit
