For #showmeyourknits this week I finished up a green hat. 🧶 is Farmer’s Daughter BFl worsted and pattern is the Frost Ridge Beanie from Benjamin Matthews. #handknithat #beaniebrigade #farmersdaughterfibers

A textured ribbed hat is shown on a white styrofoam mannequin head. It has a deep folded-up 2x2 ribbed brim and a knit/purl vertical pattern with slip stitches creating a raindrop pattern in those sections. The yarn is a soft copper patina green with subtle charcoal gray speckles.

You’re welcome! I hope yours is too. This has been a dumpster fire of a week.

I think a neutral helps pull everything together too. Gray sounds perfect!

I used 3-1/2 skeins of the neutral color in a DK weight (around 850 yards) held single. LMK if you need more info!

Of course! I did 7 rounds for the granny squares and then the joining round so it came to 8 total. I used mini skeins of sock yarn that were 90-92 yards each and held double. With a 4.0 mm hook I used all but maybe a yard or 3 of each mini - that’s what decided me on block size.

Dooo it! It would be perfect for those skeins. And thank you for the swoon😃 Super easy shell edging. Lullabylodge.com has a web tutorial but also a YouTube video. I used Hooked by Robin’s join as you go YouTube tutorial. Pick the one for individual squares

Today I finished up a #scrappysockyarnblanket. This one will be a donation but I seriously love how it came out. #crochetblanket 🧶 #sockyarn

A 25-patch granny square crochet blanket is shown with alternating handdyed yarns in fall colors and a neutral sand color yarn. It has a scalloped shell border.

Thank you! Can’t take too much credit for the colors - they came as a pack from a summer palette the dyer did last year. But I love them!

I finished the Bounce blanket which will be a baby gift for a coworker. Pattern from #tincanknits and yarn from #moonglowfibercompany. I love how this knit up! 🧶 #babyblanket #knitsky

Folded baby blanket in blues, greens and coral, shown folded on a striped white and blue chair. The pattern has garter stripes of a neutral cream and an undulating wave pattern of the different colors. It looks very soft and squishy.

I would definitely be interested, Kate! I do marketing in my current muggle life but have experience in all of the above! Would love to talk to you more about it when you’re ready to move forward.

After letting me know it was time for second breakfast and the couch cave needed to be rebuilt, we can finally settle in. If I don’t come back as my cat next time around, I’m going to be pissed.

For this week’s #showmeyourknits I’ve got a finished pair of Basket Weave Rib Socks. A bit fiddly to work but I love the finished result.

Pair of finished hand knit socks on sock blockers. They have a textured ribbing and knit/purl basketweave pattern. Knit from The Little Wolf Knits Sunfish sock yarn in a neutral herb green/brown/cream color with contrast cuffs and toes in wheat yellow.

Closeup of the ribbing and knit/purl texture pattern on these handknit socks, as well as the heel flap and gusset construction for the heel. The yarn shows the soft palette of herby green, tan and cream.

Happy to help! You won’t need it right away but a solid 40” or longer will be helpful on the last 2 sections for sure. Also if picking your own colors you need a light, a dark, 2 mediums (one cool and one warm works well) and a between light and medium, for the contrast to work well. ☺️

I have! I finished it this winter. Technically it’s not hard. Some of the rows are fiddly (the few slip stitch/cable ones) but not hard. The hard part is the monster amount of stitches on the needles at the end. They take fortitude and perseverance. DM if you want more info or help as you go!!

Almost done with #grannysquares for this scrappy lapghan. Using #sockyarn minis held double and a neutral DK weight and will JAYG when all the blocks are done.

Rows of granny squares laid out on a wooden floor, unassembled. They alternate between dark autumnal colors and a neutral sand color. The toes of a pair of black trainers peel out at the bottom of the image.

Just leaving this thought on making a difference in the world here. I feel like we all want to do something big but all the small stuff is equally important right now.

It’s The Little Wolf Knits Sunfish base in the Matcha Macarons colorway. La Mercerie may have some - it’s from their yarn club last year… November maybe?

Today I worked on socks. 🧶 These are a ribbed basketweave pattern and I really like the fit and how they look when finished but they are slow to knit. I’ll keep going along tho! #handknitsocks #knitting

One finished and one unfinished in a pair of hand knit socks. They have a contrast cuff and toe. The rest of the sock is knit with ribbing and a textured knit/purl basketweave pattern.

I’m sorry about this. It’s certainly not helpful and definitely hurtful. People in general should keep their advice to themselves IMHO. Or their general comments, when they have no personal knowledge of the topic or the struggle. I feel like the world needs more listening and less telling anyway.
