I have two pairs of mitts for #FOFriday because when I had almost finished the 2nd mitt of the first pair, I realized it was significantly shorter than the first mitt. Solution? Knit another pair! 🧶 Yarn: Dream in Color Smooshy in Cabaret Pattern: Soccer Mitts by Erica Hauser #knitsky #knitting

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you’re not obligated to justify your choice of music, books, television, or films to anyone.

I’ve been meaning to start some new socks for a while and this week’s #showmeyourknits prompted me to just do it already. Loving this autumnal yarn from Speckled Whimsy. 🍂🤎💚🧡💙Self-drafted pattern (making it up as I go). #WIPWednesday #knitting 🧶

It’s almost cool enough inside my house today for a long sleeved shirt and I don’t even have the air conditioning or fans on. This may be the happiest I’ve been all year. #happyautumn

Much as we love bookshops, they need more than love to keep going. A bookshop can be the centre of a whole community. Bookshops support authors; organize events. A thriving bookshop teaches the next generation that literacy matters. So don't just love your bookshop: actually buy books there.

Autumnal colors are kinda my thing! 🧡💛❤️ For #showmeyourknits this week, here are three of my most favorite shawls/scarves. Clockwise, (yellow actually light orange) the Spiced Ginger Shawl by Maria Greene, Twisted Edge scarf ( cannot find pattern), & Marlia shawl. 🧶 #knitsky #knitting

Vaila Jean was kind enough to not lie directly on my notebook while coworking today. She even refrained from attacking my pen. #caturday #catsky

For this week’s #showmeyourknits, another WIP: a Favorite Simple Hat in WYS Croft DK (picked up in Edinburgh years ago) held with Yarn Citizen Trinity Cashmere. Also pictured is my new project bag made by a friend. Feeling the autumn vibes. Pattern by Susan B Anderson 🧶 #WIPWednesday #knitsky

One of my #WIPs for #showmeyourknits this week. Soccer Mitts pattern by Erica Lueder in this lovely Smooshy Dream in Color. Colorway is Cabaret. 🩷🩵💚💜 🧶 #knitsky #knitting

This lovely sweater is taking forever because I just cannot be a monogamous knitter. 😁 But the body is done! Now onto the sleeves. Going for long, I think. Pattern: Dido Tee by Sari Nordlund Yarn: Navia Silkiull 🧶 #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting

How To Be a Writer: First, obtain a writing-desk carved from a single ironwood tree a pen made from a lyre-bird's feather a ream of hand-made paper, embellished with moonflower petals a special writer's hat. Burn them all to ashes Try to read what's in the smoke Write down what you see in blood Tea.

I know it’s hard to watch all these beautiful things be carried away by time and see the wrong things growing in their place. But listen. Listen. We have to be the beautiful things now. It has to be us. It has to be us. Courage.

The FDA has confirmed that the only safe thing left to eat is The Rich. With Duck sauce.

A striped entry for #FOFriday and this week’s #showmeyourknits featuring a frogged and corrected the heal on the second sock. I don’t know if I would’ve put these colors together myself but I’m pleasantly surprised by how well they go together. Yarn is Laines du Nord color 20. 🧶 #knitsky #knitting

I googled my symptoms and it turns out I need a cottage on a quiet lake, a stack of books and a case of wine.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but there are only 38 more days until autumn 🍁🎃🍂

I finally finished this beauty and I’m totally in love! 🖤🩷 The very best axolotl image you ever did see in knit! Pattern is The Axolotl Cowl by the brilliant @samantha-west.bsky.social Yarn: Malabrigo Rios in Scorpio & Rosalinda 🧶 #FOFriday #FinishedObjectFriday #knitsky #knitting

Was closing in on finishing this pair of socks when I realized that I’d forgotten to turn the heel on the second sock. Got all the way through the gusset before I realized it. This is a first for me. 🤦‍♀️ #WIPWednesday #knitsky #knitting

For #showmeyourknits reuse or mend week: my mom’s favorite socks that she’s worn to death. First time mending a knit. I really enjoyed the process & I’m sure I’ll get better with practice. Now I just need to learn to mend all my own clothes. #knitsky 🧶 #knitting

Accidentally had avocado toast for lunch instead of paying my mortgage again.

Another pattern I’ve knit twice. The Sunset Mesa Cowl (Jennifer Berg). Her patterns are so fun and engaging and I love how playing with the colors produces such different results. Thanks to @livrunsfast.bsky.social for hosting #showmeyourknits for 2 years! I’m so inspired by it. 🧶 #knitsky

Turns out the most punk rock things you can do are support your local library, be brave enough to make bad human art, and love the bees

Happy 2nd anniversary to #showmeyourknits ! The theme is items you’ve made 2 or more times. Aside from a vanilla sock, the #musselboroughhat is one I’ve knit most - & will continue to knit. Such a good project to have on the go. #knitsky #knitting 🧶

Some of the things I love the most in my collection of tools and bits and bobs for this week’s #showmeyourknits ! Locally made project bags & notions pouch, a cheeky tin stores my stitch markers & tapestry needles, & I always have a cute measuring tape & stoppers on hand. #knitsky #knitting
