This week’s prompt for #ShowMeYourKnits is pinks and reds, so here’s a little collage of my favorites. Details in the alt text. Hope you’re all in the pink this Valentine’s Day, pals. 🩷

Garter stitch is the prompt for this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits and I am happy to oblige. I love garter stitch! It’s so squashy and makes a perfect neighbor to both brioche (in my Montrose patterns) and lace (in the Hazel park shawl). #knitting #knitsky #knittingpatterns

I have way too many WIPs for #ShowMeYourKnits WIP week, but this weekend’s projects are really showing a clear color story. January needs light and warmth, and this trio are it! A pair of Colorwork socks from Summer Lee, and a pullover and little shawl on the design board! #knitsky #knitting

With the release of the Prairie Town cowl coming right up (10/1) you might be asking “but what if I’ve got a couple skeins of the same color?? Is it still cool?” Yes, friends. It’s still very cool. This is the cowl modified for one color, with neck and hem ribbing. #knitting #Knitsky #knit

The shawl celebration continues! My fade-iest fades! Both the Bloomfield and Beloved Ghost shawls are built for painterly fades, and I always feel so fancy. Details in alt text #ShowMeYourKnits #Knitting #ShawlKnitting #BriocheKnitting

The Beloved Ghost shawl, a winged pi shawl worked in single color brioche. It fades from a deep slate gray through a variegated gray and speckled cream. These yarns are from the Snug and Spun fiber company’s Tortured Poets Department collection

A Beloved Ghost shawl in progress. This one is using an advent calendar from The Fibre Fox, that goes from the softest pale pink through deeper pinks, violet and blue all the way to black (I’m not there yet though) The pattern is easily modified for use with countdown calendars, scraps, etc

A more monochromatic take on the Bloomfield Shawl, this one fades dark grey through lighter grays and blues. It’s Polka Dot Sheep’s iron horse silk-wool base

The original Bloomfield, a single-color brioche fade from blue to violet to green in a winged triangle shawl. Single-ply merino wool dyed by Forest Fiber Arts. I’m modeling it on the shore of Lake Superior under a rainbow

I’m late to the #ShowMeYourKnits party this week, but sneaking in with my favorite iterations of my favorite knit. I love a cowl whether cozy little necklets or bandanas that make it seem like you’re wearing a swooshy shawl! They add color and pizazz! Cowls 4eva! Pattern details in alt text

My pacific street cowl, a soft little colorwork necklet with an easy to memorize wave motif

The Montrose Cowl, a bandana shaped stripe party of a cowl. Knit on the bias, it alternates bands of brioche ribs and garter stripes. This one is worked in a color shifting yarn from Spincycle and a dark cold olive green from Babycat yarns

The Geranium cowl, a bandana shaped cowl knit corner to corner on the bias. Designed to show off your favorite fancy fibers - this sample is worked in a slub yarn and fingering weight yarn held together.

The Hythe Cowl, a two color, fully reversible brioche cowl with a twisting, tree trunk motif. This one is worked in a cool pinky gray and dark violet
