Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 19/03/2026My first spring knit is blocked and drying! Noro yarn is so grounding to work with. #knitsky 🧶 Now to focus on a birthday dress. 0171
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Bellini Bubbles with Baah yarn in a fingering weight. Assigned pooling with these gorgeous colors was so much fun. So happy with my little galaxy. Focusing on my small bubble helps to maintain sanity. #knitsky 🧶 Before and after blocking. 0293
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 03/03/2026When I saw this Baah galaxy yarn, I knew a Bellini Bubbles shawl would make her shine like a Stary Night. 020
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 29/01/2026I started knitting my red hat. Yarn is smooshy cashmere by dream in color, colorway is Poppy. As I stitched and chatted in the knitting circle, I realized how valuable it is to share physical space with your community to freely spread ideas and information. Not an algorithm in sight. #knitsky 🧶 0340

Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 31/12/2025One of the cotton fingerless gloves done. Pausing to whip up some convertible mittens for the tiny humans cause, baby, it's cold outside. There were so many new techniques in the brioche patterned glove. It was my first attempt at a rolled hem. I swapped the MC and CC accidentally. Oops! 🧶 #knitsky 3150
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 27/12/2025The baby hat was entirely too big, as it fit even my large grape of a noggin. Attempt number two is far cuter and more aptly sized. #knitsky 🧶🐧 1161

Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 24/12/2025I may have been overly ambitious trying my hand at brioche patterned knitting. The chart makes my head spin. Cotton doesn't seem to be elastic enough to make brioche sparkle, but I love the colors! It will be a beautiful learning process either way. I need something different after gift knitting. 🧶 180

Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 22/12/2025Baby hat complete, sans bear ears. The first of a pair of Christmas slippers for my youngest brother are nearly complete. The end is in sight! #knit #knitsky 🧶🎁 My great gramma used to make these slippers for everyone each year. Tradition ❤️ After all, there's only four more sleeps til Christmas ⛄🎄 090
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 20/12/2025Chugging away on the toddler hat and picked out gorgeous yarn for my sibling's slippers. #knitsky 🧶 After all there's only 5 more sleeps til Christmas 🎁 0100
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 19/12/2025There's plenty of time left for a Xmas toddler hat and 3 pairs of slippers, right? 🧶😄 Time to lock in. #knitsky #6moresleeps 1140
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 19/12/2025One more row, then time to tackle my first i-cord bind off. I'm so sad the Advent calendar shawl is almost done. It's been such a fun journey watching the colors blend and unwind. My inner child loves the Lisa frank vibe! I think it's time for more socks after this shawl. #knitsky #wip 🧶 2180
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 17/12/2025Fuchsia complete. On to the first of 2 purples before bind off. Progress is slowing as the rows are lengthen toward the end of the triangle shawl. The colors are pretty, so I don't mind. ❤️ If only I could get my thoughts to settle while the needles fly. It is still too noisy up here. 🧠🧶 #knitsky 0130
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 15/12/2025Red is done. Fuchsia is flying by. The triangle shawl steadily grows while sunlight slips giving way to night. #knitsky #wip 🧶 0230
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 14/12/2025Session 81 marks the end of a level 1 to 20 campaign. Sad to see it done, glad we "won at d&d." I'll miss my charismatic barbarian. 🥲 Several rows completed during today's session. We're blending in the 4th of 7 colors. Next is fuchsia and the last two purples. #knitsky #d&d 🧶🎲🐉🏰 0220
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 13/12/2025My hands and wrists have been aching this past week, and I blame the bamboo circulars. Picked up a set of Lykke Colour this morning, and it is a night and day difference. Knitting with them makes my teeth dance in the best way, plus who doesn't love a set of rainbow tools? 😍🧶 #knitsky 0120
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 13/12/2025The purple stripes are done and the gradient section begins. These two mini skeins are playing so well together. I'm spoiled to bits by this cashmere blend, hand-dyed by my local yarn shop. It's hard to put down as I want to see how the next row of color unfurls. #knitsky #wip 0311
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 12/12/2025I fell asleep an hour into last night's episode of critical role, so it is on this morning while adding more rows to the shawl. I'm back to opening the remaining boxes in order since I've scrounged out all mini skeins. 😅 2 more purpley stripes then starts the final blended section. #knitsky 2210
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 12/12/2025Starting the final color of the Advent calendar shawl and planning for tomorrow's holiday baking activities. Also eagerly waiting a couple more hours for the latest episode of critical roles campaign 4. 🧶 #knitsky #isitthursdayyet 0180
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 10/12/2025The latest mini skein is my favorite one yet...and yes I've said that for each and every single box opened so far. 😁 Only one more mini to go and I'm hoping for cerulean blue.🤞Love my LYS for putting together an amazing palette as always. 💙🩵💜💚🧶 This one was almost too gorgeous to wind. #knitsky 0110
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 10/12/2025Feeling under the weather day, and mustering the motivation to do anything but nap is a challenge. I've started watching Pluribus while stitching away on the Advent calendar shawl. The colors are so vivid and the cashmere blend so squishy, I can hardly put it down. #wip #knitsky 🧶 1330
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 09/12/2025Can't stop won't stop opening more boxes of the shawl Advent calendar so I can keep knitting. In my defense, the triangle shape grows a stitch or two longer every two rows. I need all 8 colors to finish the 1st section of stripes before starting the 2nd, much wider, section. 🧶 #knitsky #spoilers 🪨🎁❤️ 0200
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 09/12/2025More from the LYS, kettle dyed scrumptious sock yarn from their one of a kind Advent calendar. It is so much fun to open a new box each day. I've been swapping most days with notions for skeins of yarn when I want to keep knitting the shawl. 🤫 Don't tell Santa! 010
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 09/12/2025The last time I picked this project up was weeks ago. Trying to get the newfound obsession with squishy brioche out of my system with little success. Emma's yarn in a dk weight, colorway is disco. It's going to be a sweater scarf, and I'm about a third to halfway done. #knitsky 🧶 0241
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 08/12/2025Gardens of Giverny shawl is off the needles, washed, and drying. What a difference blocking makes! The before and after is wild. I gasped when I laid it out on a towel to squeeze dry. 🥰😍🧶 #knitsky So grateful to my LYS for creating these beautiful color ways. 4341
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 08/12/2025I lost yarn chicken. I wound up using the main color to complete the last 50 stitches of the last row, then I cut the working green yarn and had to rejoin again cause I am center pull all day long always and forever. Only 8 more rows of garter then a picot bind off! #knitsky 🧶 0250
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 05/12/2025Only one more lace repeat to go for the gardens of Giverny shawl. If my math is right, I'll have enough multicolored yarn with 3 grams leftover, then on to the border in luscious green. To be honest, I don't think I'll make it through the next repeat. 😅🧶 #knitsky 2160

Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Day 2 progress on the Advent shawl with kettle dyed yarn by my LYS. I was excited when I picked up the kit, then grew nervous the coloring might be all red and green. Why'd I ever doubt their ability to put together a beautiful palette. Those purples! ❤️ Can't wait for the next mini skein. 🧶 #knitsky 191
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 03/12/2025Currently on the needles, a Gardens of Giverny shawl with locally dyed yarn by my amazing LYS. Just finished the 13th lace repeat with 3 more to go. I can't wait to see how this squishy cashmere blend blocks out. I'm hoping to finish soon so I can focus on my Advent shawl, also by LYS. 😁 #knitsky 🧶 2371
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 24/11/2025Brioche hat complete with ends woven. I don't feel like blocking anything yet. Restarted a cotton washcloth early this morning while the house slept cause I can't count with the kiddos are running around. The circular cast on is so satisfying! #knitsky 🧶 0101
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 22/11/2025Trying out socks on shorties, reminding me of the pair of sock needles my great grandmother owned which were connected by a small metal spring. It takes some getting used to, though I prefer the constant flow compared to double points or magic loop. 🧶#knitsky 292
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 19/11/2025Pausing all holiday gift knits to start a pair of socks for me. Yarn is by string theory colorworks. #knitsky 🧶 1161
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 18/09/2025My second shawl is washed, blocked, and dried. I am amazed at how squishy, soft, and drapey the fabric is after blocking. The photo doesn't even begin to capture the vibrant hot pink 🩷🧶 #knitsky Now we just need some cold weather. ❄️🌨️ On to the next project! 1191
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 16/09/2025I'm splashing headfirst into assigned pooling yarn! This pattern is the perfect amount of simple and fun to work while listening to a podcast or audiobook. "Do the fun stitch when you hit the contrast color" is so delightful and makes the project fly. Can't wait to see how this blocks out. 🧶 082
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 07/05/2025Finished knitting the front of my sweater today. Winding up yarn to start the back has been more meditative than the cabling. The cumulous yarn is so fluffy, and it tugs at something nostalgic I can't quite name. I'm pretty sure this is going to be too short, but we'll see what blocking can do! 040
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 19/04/2025The heel turn is fast approaching. The slow color change is fun to watch unfold. #knitsky 🧶 4842
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 17/04/2025The tiny human is happy with the sequins and the color. That is all that matters. I can't wait to knit these again in the galaxy color I picked for myself, sans sequins. 🧶 0130
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 12/04/2025Latest yarn haul. I'm so excited to knit these into socks and mittens! 🧶 Please help. The tiny human picked out sequin yarn (top right), and I don't want to use it. Any suggestions on how to work it in as an embellishment while minimizing how much I have to touch it? #knitsky 260
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 11/04/2025New socks on the needles. This picture doesn't do the depth of color justice. The yarn is a wool-cotton blend, and it is so smooth to knit. 🧶 #showmeyourknits #wip #knitsky Does anyone else struggle to practice mindfulness while knitting instead of speeding along at a frantic pace? 4220
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 10/04/2025I hear blocking is magic. Does anyone know if it will untwist the stitches at the toe or close the holes along the heel? Exactly how much magic are we talking? ✨🧶 I plan on making a swatch as part of a sock gift kit so the owner can send it through the wash as a test. #knit 1130
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 07/04/2025It took me a second pair to figure out but the watercolor sock yarn by Laines Du Nord has a stretch of white in the middle to mark where to start the second one to make an identical pair. The more you know! Today was a great day for D&D and sock knitting. RIP Sim. 🧶 1962
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 04/04/2025I tried a German short row heel this time. I love the shape. Are the stitches along the gusset supposed to be raised up like this, or am I twisting stitches? I'm addicted to socks cause they're so quick and portable. 🧶 🧦 050
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 01/04/2025Blocked and drying. I think I'm giving this one to the tiny human and making a second one for myself. I'm sad it is complete because this pattern was so much fun to knit! Thanks @joansgarden.bsky.social for a beautiful pattern for my first fair isle project. 🧶🌼🐝 1150
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 29/03/2025Smaller needles obtained and honeycomb stitch is taking shape. Hubby insists he sees an Eldritch horror in the cone flower. 🌼🦹🦑 I just realized this is my first fair isle project AND my first knit hat. All previous hats have been crocheted. I think everyone is getting a knit hat for Xmas. 🧶 040
Sage @sage0fwisd0m.bsky.social · 28/03/2025Stranded work is done! Next, I need to go buy smaller circular needles cause of course I grabbed smaller double points and not the circs I needed. I can't wait to see how the honeycomb looks! 🧶🐝🌼 #showmeyourknits 1591
