This is an early Christian cross at Maughold, Island of Man, a so-called Celtic Cross (although that’s historically not accurate). I always wondered how to turn that into knitting 🧐🤓 #knitting #knitters #knit #craftsky #knitsky #knittersofbluesky #madebyme #justknitting #celticcross #mrsbuttons 🧶

Photo of an early Christian cross in stone, often erroneously called a Celtic Cross. Quick explanation: The Celts lived centuries before Christianisation. The cross is missing about a quarter of its right-hand side. The top consists of a circle within which there is a cross shape, the bottom of which extends down more than the circle’s height. The cross itself is made of a Celtic knotted pattern. At the side of the cross stem, however, are depicted figures from Viking mythology. These early Christians obviously preferred to hedge their bets.

The cross is placed under a lean-to shelter with wooden pillars which is open to the elements at the left. In the background many more such crosses are visible, lined up in two rows on the right against the wall of the shelter.

When I knit for the alpaca farm, I can never decide if I like the dyed colours better or the natural ones. What’s your favourite? #knitting #knitters #knit #craftsky #knitsky #knittersofbluesky #madebyme #justknitting #mrsbuttons 🧶

Photo of six bobble beanies in six different colours: mustard yellow, fuchsia magenta, mid blue, natural tan, natural brown and natural black. There is a sheriff star at the front right which says Sheriff Alpacas and has the outlines of an alpaca with her cria above the writing, all in the centre circle of the sheriff star. The knitted beanies are made out of pure alpaca wool grown on the Sheriff Alpacas farm.

Slowly catching up with my social media. The last three months were a bit very busy in the real world. Last Friday, wonderful Organ Recitals with Philip Moore, Emeritus York Minster Organist in Hovingham, Slingsby & Barton-le-Street. #music #organmusic #northyorkshirewolds #churchorgan

Stone-carving of a church door post in Barton-le-Street, North Yorkshire Wolds. The top carving depicts an angel with a lute, the bottom carving is an ornamental abstract with curly ropes and shell-like flowers. On the very right is a beaded, twisted column.

I don’t think I have introduced my fluffy knitting helpers. May I introduce Trevor? He’s very squishy and great to test out a model. He’s also a great comfort with hugs when it’s frogging time! #knitting #knitters #knit #craftsky #knitsky #knittersofbluesky #madebyme #justknitting #mrsbuttons 🧶

It’s a strange world for knitters: we’re having a heatwave 🥵 and I’m knitting bobble beanies 🥶for the wonderful Sheriff Alpacas farm. Anyone else who has started their Christmas knitting🎄? 🧶 #knitting #knitters #knit #craftsky #knitsky #knittersofbluesky #madebyme #justknitting #mrsbuttons 🧶

They are in four different colours: natural undyed chocolate brown and tan and two in dyed colours of a fuchsia magenta and a warm mustard yellow.

Very handy that this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits is purple because that’s what I’m currently working on! Not quite finished yet - I still need to work on the numbers for the neckline. #knitting #knitters #knit #craftsky #knitsky #knittersofbluesky #madebyme #justknitting #mrsbuttons 🧶

Photo of a nearly finished bottom-up knitted jumper/ sweater on a wooden hanger hanging from a low branch of a tree. The bright sun is shining on the variegated purple knit work which encompasses purple shades from near cream/yellow to pink, blue and deep purple. The jumper/sweater is long-sleeved, has some positive ease (that means having a looser fit) and has discreet horizontal lace patterns at the bottom of the hem, sleeves and over the shoulder yoke. In the background are more trees forming a little copse, giving dappled shade.

“In a world where you can be anything, be kind.” Kindness doesn’t need a reason – just a little intention. It really does make the world go round… 🧡 #kindness #positivity #gentleness

A minimalist black-and-white graphic featuring the word “KINDNESS” in bold capital letters, followed by its phonetic spelling and the word “noun.” Below is a definition that reads: “1. Loaning someone your strength instead of reminding them of their weakness.” The design is clean, structured, and framed with a thin black line. The tone is clear, thoughtful, and sincere.

Alpaca farm time again. It’s been a lovely visit in the blazing sunshine with all females (around 50 😳) all in one meadow in preparation for being shorn. The alpacas are incredibly fluffy and the crias are nearly adult size now. Sadly they didn’t feel inclined to pose. #alpaca #cuteanimals #cria

A photo of a dozen differently coloured alpacas happily feeding and not paying any attention whatsoever to their human visitors. They are assembling in a green field around a bale of hay, most of them with their heads down. The colours of the alpacas range in virtually every shade between totally white and totally black, in between shades of yellow, brown and grey. In the background, the trees are just starting to show a first hint of green leaves and some fruit trees are in full blossom, too.
