This week's #showmeyourknits is yellow, possibly my least favorite color. Behold my only yellow project, ironically the one I am best known for. If you follow me on Ravelry you'll recognize these right away. #Knitting #knitsky 🧶

I very much enjoyed visiting your shop on a wet day this past June, and my Marlet jumper in rose and green is getting lots of wear this holiday season! I hope to return soon for my ultimate prize (a Smookie).

I love this. It should be waiting for me when I get home from Shetland. I have ideas already.

Greetings from Aberdeen, on the way to Shetland! Posting from the ferry at stupid o'clock, can't wait to get to Lerwick! #travel #Scotland #Shetland

Himself got a bit over-zealous with the tree trimming today, so I had to rescue these poor blossoms. They do make the house smell amazing. #bloomscrolling #garden #flowers #spring #lilacs

This week's #showmeyourknits is for #LYSDay , so here is my home away from home, Gosh Yarn It! in Kingston, PA. Funny story, I bought the yarn for this sweater at the height of the pandemic in 2020; Jill, the shop owner, kindly set it out on her front porch for me to pick up! I love my LYS. 🧶

Fair point. I'll think about it for the next sweater.

Stephanie @sishogan.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

I will eventually suck it up and wash it, but the desire to wear it right after I finish it is very strong...

Stephanie @sishogan.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

How about round yoke sweaters??? 😉 My own is that not everything needs to be washed to be blocked. Sweater made of 8 100 gram skeins? I'm steam blocking that bad boy. I wouldn't be able to lift it wet.

I was totally ready to sing! It was a great talk and very relevant to the current state of things. It made me feel a bit better about not being out carrying a sign.

For this week's #showmeyourknits... I don't knit baby things very often as they tend to not be well received, but this was a solid winner. Made for a coworker's baby shower. #knitting #knitsky 🧶
