During the 2 World Wars, women in Europe used knitting for spying, including encoding messages with combinations of knits/purls...find out more in #UnravellingWomensArt the 1st @womensart1 book, along with many more wonderful and sometimes weird textile art facts....!

This week’s theme for #showmeyourknits is baby knitting. It has been a long time since I knitted baby garments. The little girl I knitted this cardigan for is a teenager now. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

A few weeks ago we were in Hamburg and I was sitting there knitting this while watching the rest of the family's backpacks (they were up doing a tour of the Bunker). A bunch of people walking by complimented me, and they all loved your cool pattern!

I have decided to knit a new version of this shawl. This time, however, I am going to write down what I do so that it can become a proper pattern. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

Shawl week at #showmeyourknits. This shawl was largely improvised; it was knitted shortly after a dear friend lost their four-year-old child to illness. The child loved rainbows. 🧶#knitting #knitsky

Yes, and those doodle knitting cards. Hönsestrikk may have slightly more political motives. It's very fun to knit.

Pia Löthgren @pippiluris.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Thanks! 💙 As for pattern, yes and no. It's Hönsestrikk, a free-form, colorful style of knitting that originated in Denmark in the 1970s. You choose colors and motifs as you wish. There are many books with motifs to choose from, for example this one.

Or angry cats, depending on your mood 😉. Thank you 💙

The heatwave seems to loosen its grip on southern Scandinavia just in time for my hönsestrikk blanket to be ready to snuggle up in. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

Yellow week at #showmeyourknits I'm working on my yellow dress for #lightitupMAL but I'm a little behind. I wasn't happy with the increases and frogged it all the way to the armholes. Well, maybe it will be done in time for Midsummer. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

Status update on my dress for #lightitupMAL. I put the stitches on a scrap of yarn to test the fit. Seems to be fine. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

I'm based on this pattern www.garnstudio.com/pattern.php?... but I was thinking of making it a little shorter, possibly a slightly wider skirt and a little more interesting lower cuff. I haven't decided what yet.

Thank you! I really liked it to, that's why I signed up for the test on Yarnpond. The top is worked in the flat, so just regular stranded/intarsia.

Thank you! I knit these 8 years ago so the elastic has become a bit stretched. I've had to sew elastic into them so that they will stay in place. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

Thank you! I honestly can't really remember. I knitted these 8 years ago. But I remember that I never got the braid that was supposed to be in the back to look okay, and I had to start over. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

I've had so many colds and flus this winter I've lost count of them. But I've gotten a lot of knitting done. For example, three sweaters just in time for this week's theme for #showmeyourknits. And a yellow scarf. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

#showmeyourknits theme this week is animals. This sweater is probably the only garment with animal motifs I have knitted. But it makes me sad to look at these days, because the wonderful 4 year old I knitted it for (my best friend's child) passed away just 3 months later, from aplastic anemia. ♥️💛🧡 🧶
