With the recent episodes of #raceacrosstheworld coming from Mongolia, it seems an apt moment to promote my hat pattern, available in my Ravelry Store. I've designed and knitted various versions of this Mongolia Beanie, for family members who enjoy Mongolian heritage #Mongolia #ravelry #knitsky #bbc

I'm surprised that my design for a beanie featuring these winged horses, hasn't caught the attention of more knitters. Inspired by the wind horse emblem of Mongolia. If any armchair travelers/ knitters are looking for a beanie pattern it’s available from mv Ravelry store #knitsky #mongolia #horses

Autumn Zoomies was inspired by the colours of @schoppelwolle Crazy Zauberball yarns: 2545 Early Autumn, and the appropriately named 2475 Background Noise,a stranded colourwork match made in heaven! Pattern now available from my Rav store see link in bio.

This is the hat that I referred to in my previous post. I’m not sure if the link to Instagram works, so this is a screenshot of the original post. The pattern is Love a Duck, available from my Ravelry store ( link in bio) and the yarn is from blackcheviot.com

I’m thrilled to get this wonderful write up from #schoppelwolle for my sock knitting pattern Paddy’s Rocky Road. Screenshots from Fb as I’m not sure how to share on here, but links in bio. Crazy Zauberball is 👌for colorwork with the right contrast yarn! #knitsky #crazyzauberball #greyhoundrescue

I dug this cushion cover out of the “hibernating” box, and found I only have ten more rounds to finish. I started it a couple of years ago, and the centre panel is studded with beads. Yarn is The Croft DK from West Yorkshire Spinners. Needle size is 4 mm, huge compared to my usual sock needles 😆

Changing around the colours on the second sock, to alleviate the dreaded Second Sock Syndrome! Paddy's Rocky Road is the pattern, and the next photo is of the retired Champ himself! #knitsky #onmyneedles #knittedsocks #greyhound #retiredracinggreyhound #ravelrypattern #paddysrockyroad

Paddy’s Rocky Road new sock pattern, represents the transition a Greyhound from racing kennels has to make, to adjust to living in a domestic environment. Proceeds from any sales will be donated to greyhoundgap.org.uk the charity that rescues dogs like Paddy, and helps them into homes.

Toe up, centre-sole gusset with short row heel & integrated heel-flap. Once I discovered this method, I use it on all my sock designs on Ravelry, and I convert other patterns I’m knitting to this method. The result is a better, stretchier fit over the instep.

This seems to be Paddy’s default setting for when he’s sleeping ( which is a lot of the time)🐾🤪

A lovely walk with Paddy yesterday, warm but with a cool sea breeze. Paddy investigated an open gate. We saw the white peahen. Poppies gave a splash of colour! #greyhound #rescuedog #dogwalk #coast

Today we called in to a special 95th birthday celebration for a wonderful lady! ! Her family arranged for a surprise piper to arrive at her house. I made her a lavender sachet from my own design: Speak the Praises of the Hare. Joyous occasion! #knitsky #seamusheaney #birthday #ravelry #hares

This is the third #rybkapouch (pattern by @ratandseawitch on Rav) that I’ve made. It really is addictive to knit. #wipwednesday #knitsky #onmyneedles #ravelry #knitting

l've been working sporadically on this design for a couple of years. I love the way the pattern is knitting up to look like a faded & foxed woodcut from an old book. The splash of red at toe & cuffs emphasises the vintage book look! #strandedcolorwork #socks #knitting #lifeinthelonggrass #knitsky

A very bold ( or foolish?) bunny. We were just about to go out the back door for a walk. We have quite a few of these wild black rabbits around here. #greyhound #wildrabbit

My OH, is very happy with the Mongolia Beanie I knit for him for his birthday! I hope that it reminds him of his travels 🇲🇳. If you want to knit yourself one, the pattern is available in my Ravelry store. #ravelrypattern #handknitting #strandedcolorwork #knittedhat #knittersofbluesky #mongolia

I have sock patterns in my Ravelry Store. If you are a sock knitter and want something a bit different, do take a look. All my socks are knit toe up, and have a single sole gusset and an integral heel flap, which doesn’t require any picking up of stitches. They fit well too! #ravelry #sockmadness

Speak the Praises of The Hare. My pattern for a lavender sachet, inspired by a Middle English poem Names of The Hare, wittily translated by Seamus Heaney. A very quick knit, makes an unusual gift #strandedcolorwork #knitting #hares #folkart #valentinesday #knittedgift #ravelrypattern

Many of my friends and followers on social media post pictures of their dogs playing in the snow…. Paddy endured another icy walk this morning, and then went immediately into "stand by " mode when we got home. He will remain in this low power mode until the next refuelling session. 🐾🪫☘️💚😆

Let me introduce Paddy, recently retired ex racing greyhound who is now training for a new career as my Inspiration, Muse, and Knitting Buddy. Thus far, he has eaten more knitting than he has helped with, but it’s early days 😆 🐾🧶 Below, he is modelling : www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
