Currently working on knitting feathers for a ruffled raven collar in blues and purple. Goal was to get it done by Halloween but I have only made 12/40 feathers so far 😅

Oh hey, my sock-in-progress fits this week's #ShowMeYourKnits theme, as it uses self-striping yarn. Did a progress check this morning, the sock grows apace!

Cool medical news that hopefully will proceed to a human study (so far only demonstrated in animal studies): keratin extracted from sheep wool is a better scaffold for regrowing bone than the collagen we currently use. share.google/2Dbvjm1qjoSX...

I might just have one of the only cats in the world that can be trusted alone around yarn. I left the room and came back five minutes later and he hadn’t even touched it.

My mother in law kindly gifted me a bag of goodies from The Woolly Thistle! I no longer have an excuse to not start up some socks lol. The eternal question is which pattern to knit next?

I didn't have time to take a good photo of the shawl so here's a quick one I did right after the embroidery was done 🧶 my sister was very happy! Now on to planning knitted gift my cousin's winter baby (a boy!)

I've decided to compile a definitive thread of photos of the best sheep I've photographed during my walks in the countryside, together with supporting biographical information. I will put the vital story associated with each sheep in the alt text, since some of it is a little long to fit in a post.
A nihilistic sheep, who, like so many other sheep, just wants to watch the world burn, staring at me insouciantly, moments after it has set fire to a large portion of the United Kingdom.

For #KnittingTipTuesday I want to talk about... SOCKS! Short row heels are such a clever bit of knitting. 🧦They create a comfortable heel shape without working a heel flap.

I'm gonna rest my hands the remainder of this week. Next time I knit a shawl in gonna look for a pattern that starts big and gets smaller lol. I LOVE this yarn btw, crisp and soft at the same time. If I was less allergic I'd bury my face in that alpaca goodness. #knitsky

I've finished knitting the Korpsång shawl! I tried a new to me bind off for kicks: Icelandic bind off. Easy once you get going and looks pretty on the garter stitch. Needs blocking and embroidery but not dealing with that today. It is indeed Nice and Large.

Was thinking I don't have any yellow work for this week's #ShowMeYourKnits but then I remembered the yarn for the Sallah cowl I've been working on has splashes of yellow. In the bright sun, it stands out more than the other colors (purple, orange, green).

Saw Sheep Detectives in a nearly empty theater 😅 but if was actually really moving!? And a fun mystery. My husband grew up with sheep and agreed that the animation really captured how they move. Highly recommend for the sheep lovers out there. ...And Hugh Jackman lovers. 😆

Nothing is more magical than watching my gorgeous gardenias bloom every year 🌱
A stunning gardenia completely open on the glossiest, most lux looking leaves.This gardenia bloom has thick petals and you can see a closed bud waiting his turn to open on the side.Very cool shot of a gardenia bud mid opening. You can see the bright white of the flower peaking out between the green blood enclosure.This gardenia bloom has been opened the longest and the edges have started slightly browning.

#ShowMeYourKnits this is still a WIP but I'm definitely over the halfway mark. It just gets wider and wider though so knitting progress has slowed. It's gonna be HUGE 😄🧶
