Working on something simple as I wait to start PT to resolve my tendon issues. This cloud-like confection is the Louvre Sweater by Petite Knits, featuring Marianthi Sock yarn in Flicker with two strands of Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Rainy Day. It is slow going, but progress is progress.🧶

A partially completed grey sweater lies on a warm wooden floor, glowing softly in natural sunlight. The piece is the Louvre Sweater by Petite Knit, worked in a haloed, cloud-like fabric that shimmers faintly. The yarn—a combination of Marianthi Sock in Flicker and two strands of Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Rainy Day—creates a silvery grey base with delicate flecks of pink, blue, yellow, and green. The high ribbed collar and raglan shaping are visible, with stitches resting on circular needles. Two soft, airy mohair balls and a speckled yarn cake sit nearby, hinting at the luxurious texture and lightness of the knit in progress. #knitknitknit #strikstrikstrik #strik #tricopathe #knittingismyyoga #handknit #knittinginspiration #slowfashion #ravelrypattern #craftiverse #yarn #wool #yarnaddict #knitwear #knit #knittting #thacktastic #pullover #sweater #handknitsweater #handknits #jumper #bex_knits2025 #knitsky #craftsky

A person models a partially completed Louvre Sweater by Petite Knit, showing progress on the soft, silvery-grey fabric. The sweater, knit in Marianthi Sock in Flicker held with two strands of Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Rainy Day, has a plush, airy texture with subtle rainbow flecks scattered throughout the stockinette body. The high ribbed turtleneck frames the neckline, and the raglan shaping is clearly visible across the shoulders. The hem remains unfinished, with stitches resting on circular needles. The wearer’s white long-sleeve shirt and dark jeans provide contrast, highlighting the sweater’s luminous halo and gentle drape. #knitknitknit #strikstrikstrik #strik #tricopathe #knittingismyyoga #handknit #knittinginspiration #slowfashion #ravelrypattern #craftiverse #yarn #wool #yarnaddict #knitwear #knit #knittting #thacktastic #pullover #sweater #handknitsweater #handknits #jumper #bex_knits2025 #knitsky #craftsky

I just ordered a new skein of Vermont Vice to finish the sleeve -- and the collar? What do you think about the collar? Yes or no? The new skein is overk*ll; I'm being super picky about matching colors, which is what makes this work. 🧶 www.ravelry.com/projects/Reb...

A nearly finished Minna No Sweater hangs on a wooden hanger against a white door. The sweater body is knit in Junction Fiber Mill’s Teal With It colorway, worked in smooth stockinette with raglan shaping. Both sleeves are complete, showcasing the Vermont Vice gradient, which shifts from teal into rusty orange and then into vibrant fuchsia at the cuffs. Loose yarn ends dangle from the unfinished hem, and a stitch marker is clipped to the right side. One sleeve cuff still has yarn attached, highlighting the color-matching process. The overall effect emphasizes the striking transition between solid teal and the bold variegated yarn, where the maker is carefully aligning shades for a seamless look.

Last-minute Minna No Sweater for my oldest before she heads off to University. I had the idea to use up yarn that (shockingly) didn't have enough contrast for another project in this way, and my daughter claimed ownership before I cast on the first stitch. 🧶 #knitsky www.ravelry.com/projects/Reb...

A partially completed Minna No Sweater hangs on a wooden hanger against a white door. The sweater is knit seamlessly from the top down in Junction Fiber Mill’s yarns, featuring the deep teal colorway Teal With It across the yoke and upper body. Both sleeves are finished, showcasing the gradient Vermont Vice colorway that shifts from teal into rusty orange, then rich magenta, and finally bright fuchsia at the cuffs. The body remains unfinished, held on circular knitting needles with several loose ends of yarn dangling.

Smoke from the Canadian fires is bad again today. Heading to Maine to escape. Oh - and see why lawns suck and native fields are better? Especially during a drought? I vow to continue to expand our native field (which gets mowed once a year by a local farmer for his livestock).

A hazy summer landscape in Massachusetts, blanketed in smoke from Canadian wildfires. In the foreground, a patchy lawn with a checkerboard pattern of dried grass stretches toward a lush green field. Beyond the field, a dense tree line marks the start of a forest that fades into the distance. The entire background is shrouded in a thick, grayish-white haze that dulls the horizon and mutes the colors of the sky, indicating poor air quality. The sun is obscured behind the smoke, casting a dim, diffuse light over the scene. In the lower right corner, a bird feeder pole with multiple feeders is visible, slightly silhouetted against the haze. #wildfire #canadianwildfires #canadaisonfire #canadianfires #mawx #massairquality #MAairquality #growingwisdom #bostonwx #grasssucks #madrought #killyourlawn #homegrownnationalpark #nativeplants #garden #gardening #gardens #massachusetts #middlesexma #middlesex

The Florence Sweater in progress, hanging on a wooden hanger in front of a paneled white door. This image captures yesterday’s progress for the Rhinebeck KAL hosted by Junction Fiber Mill. The circular yoke features intricate stranded colorwork in a glowing leaf motif. The main color is a rich blue (Roots LITE in Blueberry). While the contrast color (Making Tracks LITE in Carnival) shifts dramatically from soft peach and pinks to saturated reds, magentas, and fiery oranges. The neckline is finished with a ribbed collar, and sleeve stitches are now held on bright green and yellow holders with colorful barber cord dangling below, marking the recent division for sleeves.

A circular, pinned-out colorwork yoke of a handknit sweater in progress, shown laid flat on blocking mats.

The yoke features concentric bands of intricate stranded colorwork with a raised neckline and extra solid space before the start of the motifs, modified to create a more masculine look. The sweater is being custom knit as a birthday gift for the knitter’s 83-year-old father-in-law, with further planned modifications for a boxier body and straighter sleeves for comfort and ease of wear. The fabric is smooth and even, knit on US size 6 needles, showcasing the crispness and tonal depth of the yarns. #knitting #knit #knitter #knitsky #craftiverse #yarn #wool #sweater #fiberart #fiber #worsted #earthtone #labienaimee #azcuna

The second cat, Rum, is curled up and fast asleep inside an open brown leather project bag filled with yarn and knitting supplies. The background shows a comfy living room with a blue armchair, a footstool, and a TV console. Sunlight streams through the window, casting a peaceful glow over the space. #craftiverse #yarnsky #knit #knitting #fiber #handdyed #indiedyer #wool #cats #caturday #fiberart

Omg, I am now going to be totally obsessed with dying my own yarn. This was so much fun! 🧶

A person is hand-dyeing yarn using a pan-dyeing technique. The yarn hangs over the edge of an aluminum tray, transitioning from deep teal at the bottom to navy and then to rich berry purple at the top. The person, wearing gloves and a bracelet, is partially visible as they work at a table covered with a plastic tablecloth. A red-and-white checkered pattern is faintly visible in the background. #yarn

Two hand-dyed skeins of yarn rest side by side on a gray surface. The yarn features rich, saturated hues blending from deep teal and navy to vivid berry and magenta, with soft transitions of purples and blues throughout. These skeins are part of a set of four, showcasing a vibrant, moody palette inspired by twilight skies. A patterned rug and part of a broom are visible in the background.

When your bird feeder attacks but you refuse to let it ruffle your stitches. Currently knitting through the pain (and the suspense) in Urgent Care waiting to find out if my foot is broken (don’t think it is). Fortunately, the Lowell Sweater is coming along beautifully. 🧶

$A person sits in a medical exam room, knitting the Lowell Sweater by Subito Farm Designs, which features colorful yoke detailing on a dark blue background. Their bare foot rests on a stool with a carrot-patterned ice pack on top, suggesting an injury. The caption hints at waiting to learn whether a bird feeder that fell on their foot caused a fracture. The scene blends calm crafting with a moment of uncertainty. #knittersofbluesky #lowellsweater #subitofarmdesigns #craftingthroughchaos #thisisfine #knitflixandwait #craftsky #knitsky #knitting #yarn$

5" left and I ran out of yarn on Mine! by @greyowlknits.bsky.social; so I cast on the Lowell Sweater by @subitofarm.bsky.social. Both are absolute joys to make. What's on your needles?🧶 Mine!: www.ravelry.com/projects/Reb... Lowell Sweater: www.ravelry.com/projects/Reb...

A nearly finished “Mine!” sweater, designed by Grey Owl Knits, knit using Madeline Tosh DK yarn. The sweater features a detailed yoke with stylized bird motifs in shades of white, charcoal, and yellow against a teal background. The body is striped with teal, gray, white, and yellow bands, and a detailed colorwork section with flowers and a white bird pattern wraps around the bottom. Only a bit of finishing work, like weaving in the yarn end on the right sleeve, remains. #knit #knitting #yarn #wool #fibercraft #knitsky #craftiverse #madelinetosh #seagull #mine #craft

YES! My tabby, Rum, gets into my stash and leaves me skeins with her favorite toy next to the bed when I sleep! (Better than when she was younger and would unwind skeins throughout the house)

A photo of a hardwood floor showing two items placed close together: a well-loved gray and blue fuzzy bird cat toy with frayed wings, and a deep burgundy skein of yarn with a white label. These are gifts left by Rum the cat beside the bed—her favorite bird toy and a skein of yarn.

Spent my day helping a friend fire some Raku pottery. So much fun and it was incredible to see the process of multiple firings.

photo of a kiln loaded with ceramic pieces at various stages of the glazing process. The kiln is open, revealing multiple shelves stacked with bowls, vases, and dishes in earthy tones and glossy finishes. The scene is set outdoors on a sunny day, with people standing nearby, ready for the fire curing process. A traffic cone, metal bucket buckets are ready for the second step of the raku process, and tools are visible in the background, adding to the workshop atmosphere.

A table full of freshly finished raku pottery pieces, displaying a range of vibrant colors, metallic sheens, and organic textures. The assortment includes bowls, vases, and sculptural forms like a fish and leaf-shaped dish, all with unique glaze effects from the raku firing process. Some pieces have crackled finishes, iridescent glazes, or smoky patterns. Sponges, kiln props, and a can of cleaning product are also on the table, indicating recent handling and cleanup. People stand nearby, admiring the results of the firing.

Two women stand beside a large metal kiln set up outdoors on a paved surface, connected to a propane tank for firing. One woman is adjusting the kiln lid while the other observes. Several metal buckets are arranged around the kiln, ready for the reduction process. In the background, a grassy field, leafless trees, a red car, and a playground are visible under a cloudy sky, capturing a calm spring day during a ceramics firing event.

I've made 4 blankets with wool from We Are Knitters using US size 19 needles. EVERYONE (even the cats) fights over the blankets - they are perfect for cold New England winters.

Rum, a tabby cat with white paws and a mix of brown, black, and white fur, is peacefully sleeping on a hand-knit blue blanket. The wool blanket is made using a seed stitch pattern with US size 19 needles, creating a soft and cozy texture. Rum’s paws are stretched out, showing pink and black paw pads, and their face is nestled comfortably into the blanket, exuding complete relaxation.
