The #wip picture everyone wants to see this #WipWednesday. The green beads glow the brightest, and it was a rainy day that they may not be fully charged, but they do all glow. #glowinthedark #crochet #crochetsky

Working on something fun - the beads glow in the dark!

Difficult to photograph, but super cute to wear! Smidge small for me but going to try blocking to see if that helps. Pattern is Willow One Piece Crochet Slippers by Jennifer of A Crocheted Simplicity. Yarn is Berroco Vintage. 🧶 Great one skein project! #crochet #crochetsky

Chatted with our neighbor at the market last night and mentioned I had been admiring her dragon from afar. She immediately offered to trade it for my crochet octopus. Now I have a cool handmade ceramic dragon! His name is Dongall. #Arttrade #craftmarket #newfriend

We're ready to meet you!

We're back at the #UptownWaterloo Night Market tonight! Visit us at the Waterloo Public Library from 7-10pm this evening! Tonight's theme is #trinkettrading if that's something you like. Still a fun market if that's not your thing. 🙂 #shoplocal #craftmarket

Combining #WipWednesday and #showmeyourknits shawl week with an updated progress shot of my #assignedpooling #wip. I've focused on crochet projects lately, so progress has slowed, but not stopped! #knitsky

Good news: the finished #crochet slipper is cute! Bad news: it is too small for my big feet. I'll finish the second and hope they fit a friend, then make another pair for me. This is why I prefer amigurumi - it always fits!

It's raining, there's a cool breeze, Lillie wants snuggles, and I have a new #crochet project. This is pretty close to an ideal afternoon. #crochetsky #fibrecraft #tuxedocat #wip

Finished these lovely fingerless mitts for a friend. The pattern as written was a smidge small, but I went up a hook size and now they fit like, well, a glove. Pattern is Dragonscale Gloves by Yarnivore UK. Yarn is Loops & Threads Impeccable. #crochet #crochetsky #FOFriday

Happy 2nd anniversary to #showmeyourknits! To celebrate, here is one of only two shawl patterns I have knit more than once: Hug Shot by Casapinka. The pink/teal is my favourite colours. The orange/yellow was an attempt to broaden my 🧶 palette. #knitsky #shawlknitting

I crocheted a test pair of these mitts, and @violetephemera.bsky.social liked the colours, but they were too small. Sized up the hook, and it looks like they will fit this time! Now to make the second. #crochet

I made this in less than 2 days! It is a commission for a colleague: gryphon mascot in our school colours. #uofguelph Made by me using the Cute Critters Griffin pattern by Megan Lapp of #CraftyIntentions. Red and black 🧶 are Patons Canadiana, yellow from stash. #amigurumi #crochetsky

This #mushroom sprite didn't turn out quite like I hoped. It is a fine corner sitter, but not a great snail rider. Book is Crochet Snails and Mushroom Sprites by Megan Lapp of #CraftyIntentions. Yarn is Loops & Threads Classic for the body and Impeccable for the top. 🧶 #amigurumi #crochetsky

Lillie discovered the baby bunny in the backyard, and things just got INTENSE. #Caturday

My #assignedpooling shawl for #WipWednesday! It's random and unique and coming along well. 🧶🙂 Also my octopus needle stoppers and tentacle project bag for #showmeyourknits tools week. These are absolutely about fun while I craft but are also useful. #knitsky #wip #shawlknitting

I don't do many commissions, but this right here is why I do occasionally. ☺️ I love when my work is loved. ❤️🧶🐈

@auggiethebeck.bsky.social are you ready for this awesomeness? Look what I got in the mail today!!! Thank you so much @jurassicknits.bsky.social. Kitty dumpling arrived safely and is so darn adorable. 💖 Zoe is already checking out her new friend.

Sam Neill's iconic role as Dr Alan Grant in #JurassicPark has been a huge inspiration to generations of children & palaeontologists (incl. myself), so Michael Mills (@heapsgood.bsky.social) & I decided we should write a tribute to the dinosaur man theconversation.com/how-sam-neil... 1/2 🧵

How Sam Neill’s Jurassic Park performance inspired a generation of paleontologists

As Dr Alan Grant in Jurassic Park, Sam Neill portrayed a scientist who was authentic, normal and relatable. For many budding paleontologists, it was life changing.

This adorable little #crochet dragon is a commission, and I am very excited for the person to see it. 😀 It turned out so cute! Made by me using the Cute Critters Dragon pattern by Megan Lapp of #CraftyIntentions. Multi is Patons Canadiana, and stash grey 🧶. #amigurumi #crochetsky

Next up for #showmeyourknits tools that are useful and fun: yarn holders. My first yarn bowl, the kitty, was a BIG purchase for me as a knitter. But a yarn holder doesn't have to be expensive! The yarn spike is 3D printed from a free file online and soooo useful! Ask your friend with a printer.

This week #showmeyourknits asked what makes your knitting better, easier, more fun? First up is absolutely STITCH MARKERS. Do not be like me and think you can keep count. Invest in stitch makers. They can be safety pins! Or get the fancy ones that make you smile. Use them often and liberally.

My #wip is still very much in progress this #WipWednesday. This #crochet dragon has a few more pieces to go, and then a LOT of sewing. #amigurumi #crochetsky

This is just a delight. (Also check out Jeff Goldblum's jazz - I've seen him perform twice, and it's a lot of fun)

Laura Dern pays tribute to Sam Neill. “Sam was my beloved lifetime friend. He showed me the depths of loyalty, protectiveness and love, always with the driest wit. He was a true and noble gentleman, wrapped up in my dream leading man. I will love you forever, Dr. Alan Grant.”

Not much in the way of texture for #showmeyourknits, but these garter ribbed socks are finally finished! Yarn is Pro Lana Bamboo Socks. It's soft & stretchy & the self-striping works with a heel flap. I've made 3 pairs of socks with this yarn and all are lovely. #knitsky #knitsocks

I bought the pattern, then bought the book. Absolutely worth it.

Played with some plastic ponies this weekend for #Breyerfest2026. My marble paints did not like sitting for the couple of years since I last did this (oops), but a couple still turned out well. This is my favourite. #modelhorse #saddlebred #Christmasornament #craftsky
