It was a mammoth knit (with a nearly nine foot wingspan) but my Fibre Fox 2024 Witching Hour advent calendar shawl is done! It’s my Beloved Ghost shawl pattern with the countdown calendar mods (included) and I’ll just be swooshing around everywhere. #Knitsky #knitting #shawlknitting #knitshawl

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. 🩷

From top left: a linen lace top that I’ll maybe write someday, my pinky fade Beloved Ghost shawl, a pair of valentine socks that are just vanilla with colorwork at the cuffs and toes

Bottom row: Montrose Cowl, Bloomfield shawl (top) and Geranium Cowl (below)

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

Well, I can tell you at least half of everything 😂 The green wool is Spincycle Nocturne in Art of Darkness. The pink you can just barely see is Yarn Jam’s nsw sport in shell. The pattern is still getting made up but I’m hoping to release it this spring!

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

Since #ShowMeYourKnits this week is all about the holidays, I’ve got to share my lil Christmas Tree, the #HazelParkShawl. This one is for when you need to be festooned with fancy. “Ceramic Light Up Tree” and “Christmas Pajamas” from Murray Wool Goods. #Knitsky #Knitting #shawl #festive

It’s so fun breaking into a new countdown calendar! These are the first three colors from my @thecornerofcraft.bsky.social advent calendar this year. I think I’m going to like playing with these triangles. #ShowMeYourKnits #Knitting #knitsky #adventknitting

It’s super fitting that #ShowMeYourKnits this week is advent/mini/gradient themed because I just finished this #HollyAvenueShawl using the 2024 Muppet Christmas Carol advent calendar from @thecornerofcraft.bsky.social Light the lamp, not the rat, pals. #knitting #knitsky #shawlknitting

My most recent WIP is my second run at the Montrose Pullover (also a work in progress) I’m using yarn and fiber from the @longdogyarn.com “Over the Garden Wall” Collection and I could NOT be more pleased. #knitting #Knitsky #handspun #showmeyourknits

Getting witchier every day… The shawl, I mean. Probably me too. I’m good with it. 🔮 This is a #BelovedGhostShawl modified to use a 24 mini fade. The fade is @thefibrefox.bsky.social Witching Hour countdown from 2024. #Knitting #Knitsky #ShawlKnitting #BriocheKnitting

I’m always happy to brag on the yarn! But it’s not one yarn, it’s ten! It’s a mini kit I made up with Baby Cat Yarns — ten fingering weight mini skeins. Then the fingering weight is held double and marled. Brit’s brought it back to her shop for the Prairie Town release, if you’re interested

Katie Goetz @wanderingstarknits.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

Happy October, pals! It’s officially Prairie Town cowl release day! It’s easy knitting, easy wearing, and a fab companion for fall. Find it at my ravelry or payhip—more details on my website. #knitting #knitsky #prarietowncowl #knittingpatterns

Only 2 days until the Prairie Town cowl gets let loose! If you’ve ever thought “hey, I wish I could sling a sunset around my neck” this one might be for you Pattern and mini kit from Baby Cat Yarn both drop on October 1! #knitting #knittingpattern #knitsky #PrairieTownCowl

Katie Goetz @wanderingstarknits.bsky.social · 27/09/2025

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

Scarf week for #ShowMeYourKnits and there’s a clear choice. This is a scarf (not yet released, but still potentially coming) that I made with the cool half of the Baby Cat Yarn grunge palette. #knitting #knitsky #briocheknitting

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

Happy Birthday, #ShowMeYourKnits! Since this week is knitter’s choice and, since I’m on vacation at this very spot, I’ll share my first design, the Bloomfield Shawl, snapped on the shores of the very best lake (it’s Superior). #Knitsky #Knitting #ShawlKnitting #BriocheKnitting
