Two of my works in progress. The first is a striped Musselburgh hat using leftover sock yarns. The second is also a hat, the “Sip” pattern. It’s a very nice stranded colourwork hat and I’m making it inside out to practice Portuguese knitting. I took classes recently. #showmeyourknits 🧶
A hat which will end up double-layered, hand knit in stripes of socks yarn. Two rustic yarns in dark brown and blue, being made into a hat. It is done in stockinette but purled inside out Portugese style. The yarn is from a small sheep farm and mill in Canada, Long Way Homestead.

Not quite baby knits, more like toddler knits. My granddaughter saw my socks and said “I want rainbow socks too!” So I knit her a pair and a spare. #showmeyourknits 🧶

Two more colour work projects. #showmeyourknits 🧶
A pair of hand knit socks. Two colours alternate every two stitches. After 1.75 inches the two colours are changed to new ones. Six colours in total are used.A pair of fair isle hand knit mittens with a leaf pattern imposed on a background of wide stripes.

The Shiftalong hat by Andrea Mowry, mosaic colourwork using slipped stitches and only one colour per row. Her patterns are usually done with bright colours but I used neutrals. The dark yarn shifts black, dark brown, dark grey. #showmeyourknits 🧶

I love small colourwork projects. This is the Compass Cowl by Tin Can Knits. There are numerous motifs to choose from. #showmeyourknits 🧶
A hand knit colourwork cowl. The main colour is cream. There are seven small sections of colourwork in grey, brown, salmon pink and red. Each section is a different motif.

Sooner or later another pandemic of some sort will come along. Canadians will vaccinate at our usual rate but Americans will not, because RFK will have convinced more people that vaccines are harmful, America will be behind in production, or Americans will not be educated through the CDC. 1/2

Millie is my knitting enabler. She always approves my colour choices. I’m thinking about a striped Musselburgh hat. 🧶 #knitting #dogs #dogsofbluesky #cavalierkingcharlesspaniel

I’m going to finish the second sock and block them today. A cuff down, 3 x 1 rib, short row heel is always my favourite “plain” sock for fit. It fits anyone, me with my high instep and my flat-footed son, and is unisex. 🧶#KnitSky #CraftSky #knitsocks Do you bother blocking socks?

My dog groomer asked me which breeder I got my dog from because she loves Millie so much she wants a Cavalier just like her. They are such a lovely breed. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #cavalierkingcharlesspaniel

Millie, resting on an empty knitting bag. Time to pick up the knitting because it’s good for my mental health during chaotic times. Dogs are also good for mental health. #dogs #knitting

When I shop I always look for the locally made option. As a Canadian I look first for the “Made in Canada” label and the next thing I do is try to eliminate the “Made in China” items. “Made in the USA” is always right behind made at home. 1/2

The second Classic Ribbed Hat I’ve knit recently, one for each of my sons. I love ribbed hats because they’re so stretchy the fit doesn’t have to be exact. The pattern is free on the Purl Soho website and has multiple sizes.🧶

The censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by roughly 95%, and seriously, who does that to a wildlife biology & advocacy group ? So we moved 😇 over here to BlueSky If you could, please help us regain our following Follow Retweet and Repeat ;-) Together we can change the world.

This Onward cowl was a quick and easy knit. My tension changed as I knit making it wider at the bottom, which I like. Yarn is Iztex Lettlopi. 🧶
