Progress on varsity letter sweater. I’m not doing intarsia in the round correctly- I’m purling the white 🧶 and then using a needle to pass back through each stitch on the row above to get both raised texture & move yarn back into correct position. Will also duplicate #knit gold outline.
Partially knit red varsity sweater that will have letters in white with gold outline. The top bar of the letter D is complete.

Current wips for #showmeyourknits. 1) Deckle Edge Socks by @abeeinthebonnet.bsky.social 🧶Knitpicks Stroll. One skein of Prairie Heather not enough even with shorter leg, so toes will be white 😂 2) Nocturnal Jumper by Saskie & Co., almost done! 3) University of Denver sweater, details in alt
A pair of brown hand knit socks in progress are shown on a rattan placemat resting on a yellow blanket. A skein of white yarn being used for the toes, along with various stitch markers and bamboo needles are scattered about.  Nocturnal jumper pictured on a cream colored sofa. Sweater features black cats against a white full moon in colorwork. Background color is charcoal grey. 🧶 used is Susan’s Family Morandi 100% wool on 5.5mm needles.Red sweater knitting project pictured on the dark grey seat of a dining chair. By request, the sweater will have vintage DU (a university of Denver) logo in white with gold edging. The colorwork will be self drafted. Pattern is modified Chameleon Sweater by Atelier Castin. Pattern was selected for its set in sleeves and mock neck. She picked the yarn, acrylic (which I do not like but it was her choice).

#showmeyourknits Last year I was gifted 4 balls of white wool but never really loved any of the patterns I tried with it. Now it’s getting frogged to become part of a Nocturnal Jumper by Saskie & Co. Copying the charcoal, black & white color combo used by savskii.knits on TikTok.
Foreground shows a chunky lace pattern white wool scarf that is about to be dismantled and repurposed into the sweater seen in the background. Sweater features a round colorwork yoke that will eventually have black cats and white moons.

Almost finished… My Frøya sweater has been languishing. Just need to bind off- which I am hoping to accomplish today. Delayed by a meningitis scare last weekend and then allergic reaction to treatment. Moving slow, but moving…

#caturday update on the newest stray- it still won’t let me pet it, but it comes daily for food and this morning ate treats from my hand. Trying to patiently build up trust and not scare it off. For now I’m calling it Zappa.

Can we talk needles? Inspired by Debbie T’s post on circulars which I’ve reposted. I taught myself to knit when I was 9, but spent most of my time crocheting until I got my first set of bamboo interchangeables (clear case) two years ago. Completely resurrected my love of knitting. #knitsky

Cat tales… The cat formerly known as Sylvester is now called Bowie. He declared me his person and moved in. About a month ago, a cat shaped cloud of smoke appeared at the edge of our yard. Saturday he came to the back door, desperate for food. Here we go again… 🤗

Latest socks. Using up yarn from stash, I had the 2x2 cuffs done when the latest Golden Honey Sock Club pattern dropped so I decided to adopt them for this design. Last pair I’m making specifically for my daughter to wear while on her trip. Pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #knitsky

Project fail… Solene cardigan. I gauge swatched, but the size seemed off so I blocked before working on arms. Glad I did because it grew more than 6” in length and the arm holes were way too big. Should I try again with smaller needles. 🧶 is Yarnique Merino Wool. #knitsky

This started as a tank top, but I had extra yarn so I added sleeves and turned it into a tee, free tank top pattern is from knitcroaddict.com 🧶 Queensland Eco-twist in frosted linen I love the texture but it does split and for being a light color it released a lot of dye into the water. #knitsky

Socks are done, and the thicker cotton/acrylic yarn reminds me of early 90’s slouch socks. The color break is at a weird spot but that’s as far as I could get with the yarn I had on hand. The color shift is hidden by the strap on these slightly too wide shoes, which was a fun discovery.
A pair of hand knit tan and cream colored socks lay on a wood floor. The socks are positioned one on top of the other, with the heel on left side and toe on the right. They have a textured pattern which includes eyelets and cables.Two feet are shown turned with soles together on a beige and brown striped rug.

First attempt at Tunisian crochet. I didn’t realize how much more crochet stresses my wrists/arms than knitting. I do kind of love the texture though. 🧶

Meet Sylvester. A stray that started appearing sporadically on our porch and deck about 4 years ago. Super sweet. This month it made a bed in some boxes in the garage. I decided if temps went below zero I’d bring it inside, but then it vanished. Until today. #catsky

Today’s project- a chunky knit throw blanket- is a Christmas gift for my youngest daughter. I tried using 25mm needles but ended up ditching them because it was much faster just using my fingers.
Chunky chenille throw blanket hand knit from 8 skeins of sage green super bulky yarn. On top of the blanket rests a set of extra large wooden knitting needles. In the background, a leg lamp Christmas decoration can be seen along with a vintage wood crate. The crate holds a record player and assorted albums.

Good morning #knitsky Back from a road trip that gave me lots of knitting time. I have several WIPs going, here are the two I took with me, details of each in alt. 🧶
Brown tweed raglan sweater progress: about 10 rows past splitting for sleeves of Alaska sweater. 🧶 Remix Light in color Patina 6933. There will be tree silhouettes done in delicate creamy white alpaca around the bottom of body and sleeves. Summer top with eyelet cap sleeves knit with Juniper Moon Farms Zooey in Mist. Not using a pattern, although design inspiration is drawn from Simple Summer Tank Top at OriginallyLovely.com. Flutter sleeves are modified version of the pleated cuffs from Kaizen cardigan by Universal Yarn in their Spring 2018 “In the Conservatory”collection. Need to attach right sleeve and then finish length.
