Autumn in the Sierra Nevada foothills is still pretty warm, so I’ve learned to make transitional pieces. I made this Key Cardigan Tee by Degen last year in Rosa Palmer Brusca yarn. #showmeyourknits

Skirt is high waisted and features a black and white houndstooth pattern. Woman poses in a hand knit cardigan and hand made skirt.

Happy 2nd birthday #showmeyourknits 🎂 The Costal Tank is a pattern so nice, I made it twice (and will likely make again). I love how it works up with variegated yarn. Perfect for those special, single skeins in my stash 🖤🧶

Texture for this week’s #showmeyourknits I just finished this rib, textured top from a vintage pattern. I worked from stash and ran out of yarn for solid color halves. Hence, a fun color block top was born! 🧶🧶🧶
Woman poses in a hand knit top. Top is made with 4 colors: yellow, mint, soft blue/green, and peach. Top has a textured rib knit stitch motif and criss crosses the body to show off the upper midriff.

Horror stories for #showmeyourknits This poor top met its demise a few years back. My husband got it tangled up in some laundry and it ended up in the dryer. Now it is hilariously small. I’m hanging on to it in hopes to cut it up and use the pieces for a bag, pillow, or maybe piece it into a jacket.
