It's been a while since I posted, but here's a tiny bit of progress on my new sweater. Yarn is gorgeous De Rerum Natura Cyrano 🥰 I've had a secret project on the needles that'll be ready to test knit soon, I'll post pictures then!! #knittersofbluesky #knitsky
The top part of a hand knitted sweater being knitted in green yarn. It's on a wooden hanger and the stitch pattern is a fancy twisted rib.

A close up of the stitch patten in my new 1, 2, 3 Cowl knitting pattern. The light and airy stitch pattern works perfectly with gorgeous Suri Alpaca Silk yarn from @spectrumfibre. The pattern is 50% off with code 123COWL50 on Etsy, Ravelry, Payhip and my website too! #knitsky #knittersofbluesky

A bit of caravan knitting today! Enjoying a bit of fresh air in the countryside before heading back to work next week 😭😭😭. Plus the view from my ankles, the dog decided to sit on my feet. To keep them warm maybe? So I can't get up and go for a walk without her knowing?? #knitsky #knittersofbluesky
Knitting a chunky green jumper. There's a fence and a bit of forest in the background. View of the back of a jack Russell's head looking at the same fence and forest as previous picture. The dog is sitting on my feet.

....and the back of course. Really do love how this pattern looks. So good I'm knitting it twice 🥰 #knitsky #knittersofbluesky
The back of a cardigan being knitted. It's only knitted shoulders dien to underarm. Hanging on a hanger with lots of loose threads. Yarn is sage green and the pattern is a twisted rib stitch.

Looking a bit teeny for a sweater down to the underarm 🧐🧐🧐 My gauge swatch grew a lot, so fingers crossed it all works out. If not, it'll be a lovely jumper for my four year old 😅 #knitsky #knittersofbluesky
A sweater knitted down to the underarms. It looks a little small for an adult sized sweater, but I am hopeful it will grow when I block it. It's sage green in chunky yarn.

Dot W @littletheoremknits.bsky.social · 03/08/2025
It's a start! A bit of back panel working down from the shoulders here, with a little short row shaping. Same pattern as my pink cardi but without a "centre rib" if that makes sense 🤣 #knitsky #knittersofbluesky
A bit of back panel in a handknitted sweater. The panel is a fancy twisted ribbing that looks like brioche stitch. Yarn is chunky and sage green

Ok so my pink cardi is blocking, so it's time for a new project! I love my last cardi so much I'm going to knit a sweater version in chunkier yarn from the same brand. It's Cyrano from De Rerum Natura yarns, super excited to get started!! #knitsky #knittersofbluesky
A pile of Cyrano yarn from De rerum natura yarns. It's a chunky sage green yarn and there's some dried flowers next to it.

Took a little longer than anticipated but two sleeves are done. Just going to work a little ribbing round the fronts and it'll be done 🥳🥳🥳 #knitsky #knittersofbluesky
A nearly finished handknitted cardigan in progress. Just needs a band of ribbing round the fronts. Yarn is pink and the stitch pattern looks like brioche.

Aaaand the back! Love how this is growing 🥰🥰🥰 #knitsky #knittersofbluesky
The back of a cardigan this is being knitted. It's maybe 2" short on the body and has no sleeves yet. It's hanging on a wooden hanger against a white wall, the yarn is pink. It's a textured stitch pattern.

Dot W @littletheoremknits.bsky.social · 17/07/2025
A little more progress 🥰🥰🥰 Yarn is gorgeous Gilliatt from @dererumnatura, I'm going cropped, oversized with wider sleeves than I normally do. (Perhaps because I lost track of how many repeats I did on the upper back 🫣) #knitsky #knittersofbluesky
A pink handknitted cardigan in progress. There's maybe just a couple of inches of the body to do. There's no sleeves yet. Hanging on a wooden hanger against a white wall.

Here’s the back of my new cardi – love how it’s turning out! The pattern looks quite fiddly but it’s very simple, not too far off plain 1x1 rib. Love how it looks in this yarn. It’s so beautiful, I’ve actually gone and bought a chunkier version for my next project! #knitsky #knittersofbluesky

A little update!!! I’m done down to the underarms and although I say so myself I think this pattern is looking fab. The twisted slip stitch 1x1 rib in this slightly textured yarn – looks like brioche but nowhere near as fiddly! #knitsky #knittersofbluesky

Amazing walk at Ardvorlich this afternoon! We must have walked right past this and never noticed when we climbed Ben Vorlich 🤔 Photos don't quite capture how deep the gorge is, really stunning (if a little hair raising with a 4 year old and a 1 year old 😂)

Fab wee morning at Comrie Croft! Maybe the best cinnamon bun in Perthshire and a walk in the woods. Eldest had a lovely paddle under a waterfall, and lots of scrambling practice on the rocks. Spotted a tree creeper, grey wagtail and a small copper butterfly. Loving life. #Scotland #nature

A bit of car knitting today! We're up at the caravan for one last term time holiday before I'm back to work 😭😭😭 The baby fell asleep in the car as soon as we nipped five minutes down the road to the loch, so I very selflessly volunteered to sit & knit for an hour or so 😂 #knitsky #knittersofbluesky

Here's a little look at the lower edge of my new Tiny Hoop 3 pattern. Stitches are bound off and cast on leaving an open space. It looks just like a little loch with a mountain range in the distance. The pattern's still 50% off with coupon code TINYHOOPTHREE50, linktree link in bio ❤️ #knitsky
The lower edge of Tiny Hoop 3, a little knitted artwork that fits in a 10 cm embroidery hoop. After some increases to form the bottom of the circle, stitches are bound off and cast on leaving an open space. This adds a curve to the piece, helping it fit in the circular frame, and also warps the band of lace above. 

To me, it looks just like a little loch with a mountain range in the distance.
