This is gorgeous! The Gardens of Giverny by Alina Appasova is a brand new pattern, inspired by the paintings of Monet. Knit in one variegated and one solid 4ply, it's worked from the bottom up in an all over short row lace. Pattern is 20% off until the 18th of October. #knitbsky

I was lucky to have those buttons in my button box. They match the cardigan so well.

Knitting friends, she is finished. My Bees Knees cardigan is done and I am so pleased with how she turned out. This project has been on the needles for three months (thanks heatwave), but I got it done just in time for autumn. Yarn is Yarnsmiths Merino DK Heathers in Red Grouse. #knitting #knitbsky

It feels like it's taken forever, but I only have the collar and button band to do. The Bees Knees pattern calls for 4 buttons but I've decided to do 5, as an odd number looks more visually pleasing to me. The yellow markers show where the short rows start for the shawl collar. #knitting #knitbsky

#ShowMeYourKnits is cowls and scarves this week. I don't knit either option very often, but I am a big fan of Mary Hunt's designs. Here's my Fungus Among Us cowl from October 2024.

I had that happen to me once, early on in my knitting journey. Lesson learned. Pure wool does not go anywhere near the washing machine now.

This is a bottom up pattern in one piece. The instructions require you to sew the two shoulder seams and the cabled panels around the back neck, but I've either used a 3 needle bind off or grafting to do all that, so mine will be seam free. The sleeves and button band are knitted on.

Wyrd Knitting 🧶🐈🚀🪐📚 @wyrdknitting.wsocial.eu · 06/09/2026

I finished the cables! The cabled panels of this pattern were to be knit separately & sewn to the back. I hate sewing, so I knit them on instead, joining them to the live back stitches & using a 3 needle bind off to join the two panels at the centre back. I think it came out pretty neat. #knitsky

It's a pretty simple pattern, but I have been working on it for a while. It's been too hot to knit in the afternoons so I've only been knitting in the mornings.

Wyrd Knitting 🧶🐈🚀🪐📚 @wyrdknitting.wsocial.eu · 06/09/2026

It's a nice pattern to do if it's your first attempt at cables.

There has been progress on my Bees Knees cardigan. The whole body is finished and the shoulders have been grafted. Next to finish the cable portion of the collar, before moving on to the sleeves, and finally the button band. #knitting #knitsky

I haven't done embroidery for a long time, but this new design from Wool & Pine is tempting me to dust off those skills. Forager is a 4ply, rectangular, knitted wrap, with a diamond cable pattern. Flowers are embroidered on to the surface in the finishing. #knitting www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

I love hem-free cable patterns, as long as there aren't long stretches of purl on the first few rows. Mine always curl under if there are.

Because of the heatwave I haven't done much knitting the past few weeks, but I have got through the main body of my Bees Knees cardigan. Currently working my way up the right front and pondering what buttons to buy. ##WIPWednesday

This week's #ShowMeYourKnits is shawls, and I currently have one on the needles. This is Fagus Sylvatica by Mia Rinde. As well as my WIP photo I've included one of the designer's own images as it looks quite different blocked. I'm using Malabrigo Ultimate Sock in Teal Feather.
