Not a completed project, but I had to show off my teal hand-dyed for this week's blue-themed #showmeyourknits! It's one of my favorite colors, and I've been daydreaming up so many project ideas for it. The colorway (green-winged teal) is available on greycapknits.com #knitting #crochet #yarn 🧶

I almost missed #showmeyourknits #wip edition ... but I think today still counts! My current WIP is a new shawl that I'm designing with a few skeins from my very first collection of hand-dyed yarn (which I just released this week)! #yarn #knitting #greycapknits 🧶

Another cowl for #showmeyourknits! I made this a couple years ago, but this is the Atomic Robin Hood cowl. It's reversible brioche and it has cute buttons on both sides, so in a pinch it can be opened up and worn as a tiny shawl! #knitting #cowl #fiberarts #yarn 🧶

I hear it's cowl week for #showmeyourknits, and even though I don't wear them very often, I have knit a few. This is the Maine Mosaic Cowl, knit for my husband using some of his handspun (blue/green) and some chunky stash yarn! #knitting #handspun #yarn 🧶

Today's "unfinished business" for the #fiberuarychallenge is this Basketweave Bolero I made for a collab with Hobbii Yarns. It's technically finished, but the weather needs to hold out just long enough for me to get some nice pattern photos. Definitely looking forward to spring! #knitting
