Almost finished!! 🧶 I keep meaning to order a larger decorative sock blocker for pics like this, but haven’t gotten around to it. Which one should I pick, #knitsky? www.etsy.com/shop/MlynJed...

A nearly finished knitted sock is on a weathered wood background and spaces over a wood sock blocker with pretty cutouts. The sock is in a light pink yarn and features leafy lace. It’s stopped right before the toe section and is still attached to needles.

Something on my needles that I’m proud of and excited about? Obvi I’m sharing my Mix Tape WIP that I’ve been obsessing about lately!! Slightly addictive… 🧶😀 #ShowMeYourKnits

A large striped knitting project spread across my lap. Stripes alternate between stockinette and garter stitch in a cheerful jumble of colors, including pink, purple, yellow, orange, blue, green, gray, and cream. A blue needle holds the live stitches at the top, with several loose yarn ends trailing from the stripes.

I'm getting ready to seam these babies up! This little blanket is officially the most complicated yarn thing I've ever created! #CrochetSky 🧶

Dozens of colorful crocheted motifs arranged on a wood floor to plan the layout of a baby blanket. The pieces include round-eyed owls, multicolored circles and squares, and delicate white lace motifs. The motif centers use rich jewel and earth tones including purple, teal, blue, rust, red, green, and gold from a gradually changing striping yarn (knit picks chroma).

Progress update on my @woolandpine.bsky.social mix tape tee!! It’s been so fun picking the colors as I go and I continue to be thrilled with how well my stash has provided! #KnitSky 🧶

A large flat piece of knitting on a wood background. The knitting is composed of many colorful stripes that are about an inch wide. They alternate between garter stitch and stockinette. It is the back piece of the mix tape tee by wool and pine.

A “lady never discusses” meme that says “a lady never discusses the size of her yarn stash.” Embarrassingly, I’m not sure what show/character the meme is from. Potentially Downton Abby? I need to watch that!

Autumn vibes for #ShowMeYourKnits! 🧶 I rarely wear my shawls like this, but I wanted to show off the lace in the photo… though I think I’m totally pulling it off! Does anyone wear shawls their bib-style like this? 🤔 Any styling tips?

I needed a clear project bag to show off the pretty yarn, obvi! This is the second sock of the pair. Can’t wait to finish up and wear them! #WIPwednesday #Knitsky 🧶🌈

Bright rainbow-striped sock-in-progress on circular needles beside a clear project pouch with hot pink edges. The attached ball of yarn is in the pouch and there is also a weird looking tool in there that is my cool creation. :) A carabiner holding together folding scissors, a few stitch markers, and a mini crochet hook on a keychain.

I'm giggling at myself because I purposely misquoted that 311 song to suit Yellow Week on #ShowMeYourKnits, only to realize after scrolling further that the theme is Amber after all! Weird coincidence! P.S. Here are some socks that are a bit more Amber

Yellow/Gold/Amber colored handknit socks on a black surface. The socks feature lots of thin faux cables on them. The pattern is called 9 to 5 and the yarn is Knit Picks Stroll in Treasure.

Love my new Foxy Sock from Potion Yarns! The note that came with it was so sweet! Phoebe is her cat who just gave her mom a surprise vet bill, which is the perfect excuse for me to buy some yarn, right?... 🧶 #potionyarns #knitsky

Ooh yes! Here are two. The yellow one is made from sock yarn and it's super tiny. The pink one is a little bigger and did a marled look from a 6 color ombre, switching up the colors every 2 rows. Pattern is Hannah the Slug by Fresh Stitches.

A pink crocheted slug with big eyes sits on a white surface. The yarn is a lot of pinks and purple colors held together in a marled look.

A small yellow crocheted slug with big eyes is held in my hand to show off the tiny scale. He is about the length of my index finger.

I have a love-hate relationship with this project. The solid yellow is ever-so-slightly the wrong shade. I had resolved to frog it, but recently decided to forge ahead. 🧶🥺🧦 #ShowMeYourKnits

Popping to share my progress on my Mix Tape Tee by @woolandpine.bsky.social for #WIPWednesday and #ShowMeYourKnits WIP week! 🧶 Picking the colors has been so fun! I made up a few rules to ensure variety and checking my work with the mono filter. More here: pepperknits.com/project/mix-...

Also... the sweater didn't fit quite right, so I had to cheat. I learned this fashion-shoot trick on ANTM. 😂

I selected this pattern while under the influence of a Bridgerton binge... It's called "Penelope" by Steph Wylie. It's not my usual style, but it sure makes a cute addition to Athena's wardrobe for the next time she takes a promenade. ☂️🧶 #DollSky #KnitSky

I've been holding off on wearing my latest knit because the strappy look felt a bit scandalous, but I decided that we're going into a long weekend and I'm calling YOLO! I'll toss my hair over my shoulders on zoom and no one will be the wiser... 😉 #FOFriday #KnitSky 🧶

A wildly beautiful, smart, and talented woman is wearing a sleeveless knit top and jeans, standing in a cozy room with framed art and a small potted plant on a shelf behind her. The top is a handknit tank with the body knitted from a muted blue tonal yarn and the hem, neckline, and straps knitted from a dusty rose. (If you zoom in, the blue also has little rose tones in it.)

My mom has started hitting up estate sales every weekend with her gal pals, and she got me this cute little cat bag for $1! It's perfect for holding sock WIPs! I fully support her new hobby, and I'm hoping she finds yarn for $1 next time, too! 🙏 🧶 #KnitSky

A belated WIP pic of my AG doll cardigan. This one didn't spark joy for me while knitting, but maybe I'll like it more as an FO. The great thing about knitting doll clothes is that even if you don't love the project, you still get to play dress up with your doll in the end! ❤️🧶 #KnitSky

I planned to use a big white daisy button on this baby sweater, but it never arrived, so I used the spare button that was attached to a fancy blazer from my old lawyer days. I love imagining how fashionable the baby must feel with her designer sweater! 😂 #ShowMeYourKnits Baby Week! 🧶

I'm particularly proud of my color choices on this baby blanket - I think it turned out very different and cool. The mom loved it too... so much so that she used it for an "official" baby photo! ❤️ But... I giggle every time I see the pic bc the blanket is wrong-side out! 😂 #ShowMeYourKnits🧶

Hand-knitted striped blanket with scalloped cream edges and repeating wavy chevron rows in teal, gray, burgundy, mustard and cream, showing textured ribbing and lace-like stitch details. The pattern is Bounce by Tin Can Knits and the yarn is all from the Knit Picks Comfy line.

Newborn swaddled snugly in the same multicolored wavy-striped knitted blanket, but the wrong side is showing, so it's a lot of purls and you can see the dashes where the colors change. The baby is lying on a light geometric-patterned rug and I put a little smiley sticker over his face bc he is sooooo cute that he might break the internet. Can't risk it.

Pepper @pepperknits.com · 26/08/2026

So, technically not knitting, but I'm sharing this WIP for #ShowMeYourKnits baby week anyway because this blankie is kicking my bum and deserves a little airtime. 😉 Sewing on all the owl faces is turning out to be much more time-consuming than I imagined... but it's gonna end up super cute! 🧶🦉

Colorful crocheted owl motifs at the center of hexagon granny squares, arranged flat and ready to be joined into a blanket. Those random bobby-pin-looking things at the corners of the hexagon are indeed bobby pins. My hope is that they will help speed up the process of joining the grannies bc I'll be able to match up the corners easily. Wish me luck with that.

Yes! It's so fun! I wish I'd bought more! I have an adorable pattern for baby booties knitted from Felici and they would have been very cool with this colorway! Here is a pair in one of the rainbow colorways:

I'm making good progress on my Lisa Frank-inspired knitted socks! 🦄 So... I use Felici yarn all the time without issue, but last night I encountered a mill knot in this ball, which is a first. It kind of messed up the stripe width, but I dealt with it. ✔️🧶 Can't stop the signal... #ShowMeYourKnits

I've got a good one for #ShowMeYourKnits mending week! This is a commercially knit sweater that got a hole in it. My SIL asked me if I could mend it, but she requested I use a different color so the mend would be visible... it seemed a little weird to me, but she was thrilled with the result! 🧶🪡

I'm working with some beautiful deep-red sock yarn, and I've noticed it's dyeing my fingers pink as I knit! I'm planning to gift these to a college student, and I can't give her a sock that sabotages laundry day. Any way to fix it? If not, I'll start over with a different yarn. 😭🧶 #KnitSky #Yarn

I realize this is pretty unhinged, but it bugs me how the purple stripe ended up longer than the other stripes (because of the placement of my toe decreases.) So I’m ripping it back and starting the toe over. 😬🧶😂 #Knitsky #KnittingProblems

A neon striped hand knit sock in progress with finished toe shaping but still on the circular needles. Each stripe is about an inch tall, but the last purple stripe on the toe is about 1 1/2 inches followed by a tiny bit of a blue stripe because of the stitch count changes with the decreases.

A wildly beautiful woman posing indoors to showcase a pink sleeveless handknit top with a vertical lace column and a dragonfly-esque lace motif. She has curly red hair tossed over one shoulder and a blurred gallery wall behind her. She is an excellent knitter, but not a talented interior designer... but the gallery wall is really cool, and she is potentially even more proud of it than the top she made... it pained her to blur the background... She also likes to talk about herself in the third person.

In addition to the ziplocks, I actually have a collection of nice clear vinyl bags for my WIPs and notions. I love being able to see what’s in them at a glance! #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

Three clear vinyl zipper bags with yarn and knitting projects or notions inside. The largest in the back was packaging from a sheet set. The other large one with the black handle I got at knit picks many years ago and it wasn’t cheap! But I love it! The case in the front that has my notions came free with a bunch of makeup samples once.

What a fun #ShowMeYourKnits prompt this week! I have a massive collection of beautiful sock blockers - here are some of my favorites! 🧦 🧶 The first two are made by the wildly talented MlynJedrow.etsy.com. She has zillions of designs and top-notch customer service. (More notes in ALT!)

Hand-knitted peach variegated socks stretched on wooden blockers with a matching yarn ball and knitting needles, showing a sock-making project in progress on a weathered wooden tabletop.

The sock blockers are stained a medium brown color and have an all-over honeycomb cutout with a bee cutout right at the toe.

I had this set of blockers custom-stained. If you shop for them on MlynJedrow.etsy.com, they will be in the standard light birch color.

Blue variegated hand-knit sock in progress stretched on a decorative wooden sock blocker with floral cutouts and a heart-shaped hanger, with wooden knitting needles and a red-heart stitch marker against a pale textured background.

(This blocker is by MlynJedrow.etsy.com, listed as "Floral Wooden Sock Blockers." You can order them with a hook at the top if you want to be able to hang them, but I love the heart topper the most!!)

A partially knitted tan lace pair of socks on cherry wood-stained heart motif sock blockers with a matching yarn ball, circular needles, and gold scissors that look like the Eiffel Tower arranged on weathered wooden boards.

The person who made these blockers is no longer in business and I've had a hard time locating anyone else who does a cherry stain like this. However, MlynJedrow does a very similar heart cutout blocker. (And if you ask very, very nicely, you may get her to stain the wood like on my bee blockers, but you didn't hear that from me...)

Hand-knitted purple lace socks stretched on wooden sock blockers with star-shaped cutouts, a purple yarn tail curling across a white background.

These blockers are from the same person who made my heart blockers who is no longer in business. I have never been able to find a similar set anywhere else. If you happen to know of one, let me know! People ask me where they can buy these all the time and I would love to have an answer!

This WIP is technically *off* the needles at the moment, but I’m still sharing for #ShowMeYourKnits! 🧶 The pattern tells me to block it before finishing off the shoulders and adding the neck and arm bands. So I do what I’m told. Will be back on needles soon!
