Grandma: How are the cats adapting? Me: They have been so crazy lately. The little one keeps trying to eat the ceiling! Grandma: It sounds like they're adapting nicely. .... Um... Okay grandma... Sure... 😂 #family #cats #grandma

I put my project down for less than a minute and this cutie decides it's a perfect spot for a cat nap. #knitsky #handmade #knitting #kitten #cat #catnap #DontMoveTheBaby

Close-up of a sleeping tuxedo-patterned grey and white kitten nestled into a pile of textured, multi-colored knitwork. The kitten is curled in a crescent shape, showing a patch of bright white fur on its belly and face against its darker grey coat. It is surrounded by loose, woven folds of yarn in shades of cream, orange, and brown with subtle metallic glints.

My first knitted blanket... I have decided to frog it. #knitting #yarn #knitsky

a hand-knitted blanket draped in soft folds showcases a rich gradient of sunset colors, including deep purples, magentas, bright pinks, and warm oranges. The yarn has a fine glitter or metallic thread running through it, catching the light. The texture features alternating bands of solid knitting and wavy, openwork lace eyelets. Other colorful, textured crochet and knit projects are partially visible in the cluttered background

a round cake of multi-colored yarn sits on a light blue fabric background. The yarn is wound to show its beautiful self-striping gradient, starting with a dark plum purple in the center and transitioning out into rings of magenta, burnt orange, and bright gold. A thin, reflective golden metallic thread is twisted into the plies, giving the entire cake a distinct shimmer. A patterned pink quilt and a hint of gray pet fur are visible in the background.

First store, I ordered this from called and said they didn't actually have it in stock. Luckily the second place I tried did. Now to resume the blanket. #fiber #yarn #fiberarts #petuniayarn #varigatedyarn #sparklyyarn

A close-up shot shows a hand holding a skein of multi-colored yarn with a black label. The yarn features a self-striping pattern with transitions of purple, magenta, orange, gold, and olive green, interwoven with a metallic gold thread that adds a subtle sparkle throughout. The glossy black label reads "Petunia" in a white sans-serif font, followed by "Boom-Batik" in a stylized white cursive font, and "Lurex" in a metallic gold script flanked by small gold star accents. The word "Antialérgica" is printed in small white text at the bottom of the label. The background is softly blurred, showing glimpses of blankets and bedding.

Basket weave stitch. Definitely got confused at a few points but I'm still very happy with it. #knit #knitsky #yarn #fiberarts

A close-up photograph of a hand-knitted piece of fabric made with a thick, cream-colored tweed yarn featuring small flecks of brown and black. The fabric showcases a distinct basketweave pattern, created by alternating blocks of horizontal and vertical ribbed stitches that mimic a woven texture. The knitting rests on a soft, floral-patterned quilted surface.

Got to go to #TejeExpo today in #Santiago, Chile in #LasCondes. I got some beautiful yarn. Apparently I have a theme of shiny and blue going on 😅 #yarn #fiberarts #crochet #knitting

A close-up, slightly high-angle shot of a collection of blue and purple yarn on a floral-patterned cream quilt. The central focus is a large, cylindrical cake of YarnArt Flowers Moonlight yarn. This yarn features a stunning gradient that transitions from a light lavender and pale blue center to a deep navy blue on the outer edge, woven throughout with subtle, shimmering metallic blue threads.
To the left and right of the cake are hanks of variegated teal and navy blue yarn, also featuring a metallic sparkle. In the foreground, two tan cardboard tags for "Puski" yarn are visible. One tag clearly displays the text: "MADE IN PERU," "75% LANA MERINO SW," "20% NYLON 5% LUREX." In the background, a red Tulip Etimo crochet hook in its yellow and red packaging rests near some crumpled white tissue paper.

An overhead shot displaying a variety of yarn textures and colors arranged on a floral quilt, with a vibrant, multi-colored crocheted blanket visible at the top. The arrangement includes:
Center Bottom: The large YarnArt Flowers Moonlight cake with its lavender-to-navy gradient and blue sparkles.
Center Top: A small, round ball of YarnArt Bright metallic yarn in a shimmering silver-lilac hue.
Sides: Three large hanks of yarn—two variegated in shades of teal, seafoam, and navy, and one in a solid deep purple-navy—all containing metallic "Lurex" glitter.
Tools: A Tulip Etimo Red 4.50mm crochet hook in its original gold, red, and clear plastic packaging lies on the right side.
The background features a thick, hand-crocheted blanket with repeating chevron stripes of bright yellow, green, pink, and white, adding a high-contrast texture to the scene. To the far right, a white box with a price tag of $5.990 is partially visible.

My first go at lace knitting. It is bunched up because I paused mid row (and forgot where I was...). It's a nice distraction from the health inspector forcing me to evacuate because the landlord's property is uninhabitable. #KnittingSky #NewKnitter #RentersRights #BadLandlord #LifeUpdate

Finished my first knitted scarf! I love the colors, but I really wish the yarn was softer. It's so rough 😭 might make more with the other bitty stripes colors I have, seam them together and give it to the kitties. They seem to love the rougher towel feel. #yarn #knit #knitting #fiberarts #handknit

I messed up and the loops slipped off the needle. Tried to fix it, made it worse, and ended up frogging the whole thing 😭 I know it sounds dramatic, but I was so proud of my progress. Now I have to start over and it’s just… frustrating.
