I test knit the #RibbonCandyHat for @hookmountainknits.bsky.social What a nice little scrappy project! The stripes only took a gram of yarn each. I added an 11th stripe to get the whole #ProgressPride flag in. Pattern releases on Sept 17. #knitsky #knitting 🧶

Some progress on a test knit (Tea Cozy Sweater) for @hookmountainknits.bsky.social, to be released in about a month's time. I truly love #knitting her patterns: they're so clearly written and easily made, and end up gorgeous garments. #becasKnits #handKnitSweater

The Sunflower collection is now available, the patterns are available individually or as an ebook. I used neon yellow and black to symbolize the importance of finding joy, and cultivating your inner light, in the presence of darkness, and I'm truly grateful for the inspiration to create these!! 💛🌻

@livrunsfast.bsky.social says lace for this week's #showmeyourknits so here's my newest design the Ironworks Cardigan- a pretty beginner friendly lace lace sampler sweater. I had a leftover skein of yarn so I posed with it like men pose with fish, as one does. #knitting #knitsky #🧶

The woman is holding a skein of yarn  the same color as the cardigan in both hands and extending it out towards the camera with a wide eyed, impressed expression like she can't believe how beautiful and impressive the yarn is.

Cardigan week on #showmeyourknits is here and I haven't shared ANY of my favorite cardigans! First up: Tea Cozy Cardigan! I love knitting with leftovers and this is one of my favorite knits ever. I love it so much I made it twice which is very unusual in my design process. #knitting #knitsky 🧶

Digging waaay back into the archives for today's #showmeyourknits! This is Uprising, my second-ever sweater design, and it uses DK weight yarn. The expanding-rib triangle can be on only side (that's what I did) or both- knitter's choice! Yarn: @purlsoho.bsky.social #knitting #knitsky 🧶

#showmeyourknits LYS edition this week! I hope this counts- the yarn I used for my Laya Cardigan is from one of my favorite indie dyers, Sincere Sheep. Brooke's yarns breed-specific, naturally dyed, and gorgeous! She's not on Bluesky yet but you can find here her: sinceresheep.com #knitsky #knitting

Another WIP for #showmeyourknits ! This is the Hideaway Sweater (sibling of th Hideaway Cardigan) which is currently with test knitters. I love how in its unblocked state it looks kinda like lilac romanesco. But more orderly, I guess? #knitting #knitsky 🧶
Hand knit fabric with a texture similar to romanesco, made from yarn the color of lilacs.

Well, WIP week on #showmeyourknits is mostly over but I do have a WIP to share! It doesn't look like much here but it all goes to plan it'll be a sweet little floral tee in no time. I'll be looking for test knitters soon, and I'll have a much more enticing picture then! #knitting #knitsky 🧶
