It's a nice day in London today but I'm planning ahead... This yarn is so nice and it's going to make a lovely winter hood 😍 #knitting #knitsky #knithood #spinalbalaclava #wip

Perfect for #showmeyourknits this week! Finished the pattern part of my sleeve so now just working my way down. Proud of myself for remembering to do the chart in reverse so that the tree is the right way up 😂 #knitting #knitsky #gansey #ganseysweater #ganseyknitting #wip

Got to the underarm split and it's taking my brain a hot minute to get used to working back and forth instead of in the round 😅 #knitting #knitsky #gansey #ganseyknitting #ganseysweater #shareyourknits

First tree in the pattern finished 😊 our local Caffe Nero has had a small flood so half their lights are off. Very much mood lighting at the minute 😂 #knitting #knitsky #ganseysweater #ganseyknitting #cafeknitting #shareyourknits

Out of London today and you know what that means: train knitting! The fields are looking decidedly brown and they're getting even more sun on them today. #knitting #knitsky #trainknitting #travelknitting #gansey #ganseyknitting #ganseysweater

Bottom up might be the way forward 😂 all the excitement of the new project while you do the boring bit and then it gets interesting. The pattern on the top of my Gansey is just starting to come through. #knitting #knitsky #gansey #ganseyknitting #shareyourknits #stylecraft #stylecraftrecreatedk

I've tried a few different pocket techniques in my time and I think this is my favourite. Knit both parts and then close it up with a 3-needle bind off (minus the bind off). So neat and tidy! #knitting #knitsky #shareyourknits #showmeyourknits #mirandahoodie #styecraftlinendrape

#showmeyourknits and I actually only have one thing on needles because all my other WIPs are crochet! Working on a very boring bottom half of my Miranda hoodie, once it's done I can do the far more interesting pocket! #knitting #knitsky #shareyourknits #mirandahoodie #stylecraftlinendrape

It's turned into a beautiful afternoon in London so I decided to take advantage of the deck and get some sun. Sadly, I think it's also going to scare all the birds off... #crochet #crosky #shareyourcrafts #westyorkshirespinners #wys #wysexquisitelace #london #londonweather

My partner and I are currently obsessed with the bird feeder and bath. The birds aren't quite as sexy as NZ ones but exciting to get more than just pigeons 😂 #london #londonbirds #birds

Knit night at the local Tea House and on to the body of this tee. Which is good because I have 2 other projects that I'm desperate to start and this is sooooo boring 😂 #crochet #crosky #wip #shareyourcrafts #dropssafran #dropsfan #magnoliasweethearttop

Realised I never posted a pic of my NZ souvenirs! I got some of this yarn when I was home 3 years ago so I already knew how lovely and soft it is. Which is good because I didn't make it to Auckland this tims and had to order it! #yarn #yarnsky #nzyarn #possumyarn #brushtaleyarn #brushtailyarn

A 2 hr flight delay in Auckland and then 4 hrs in Vancouver let me get a good start on this Batwing hoodie. Back in London after almost 36 hrs travelling and not sure what day or time my body thinks it is! #crosky #crochet #stylecraftrecreate #batwinghoodie

For reasons known only to my subconscious, I hate putting buttons on projects. But I was very well-behaved and added the buttons as soon as this was off the blocking mats. Present for dad ✅️ #knitting #knitsky #knitcowl #perfectocowl #cascadeyarns

Starting off the second half of my Musselburgh hat with this lovely, sparkly (not that you can tell from the pic) blue yarn. No idea where it came from, apart from the fact that it was probably a gift from my SIL #wip #shareyourknits #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting #musselburghhat #musselburgh

Enjoying a week off and jumping on the Musselburgh bandwagon. These lovely mini skeins came from For The Love of Yarn in some Christmas baubles she did years ago. #wip #shareyourknits #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting #musselburghhat #musselburgh

I'm always up for a bit of train knitting and this was a nice little project to take with me! A cowl that is a present for my dad, so luckily none of my family is on Bluesky 😂 #trainknitting #travelknitting #perfectocowl #knitting #knitsky #cascadewoolpaka
