I don't work with a lot of chunky yarn, but I am very fond of Malabrigo Rasta colors. Here are some of my creations, #ShowMeYourKnits! Sadly, I've misplaced the headband and I'm devastated because it matched my pink coat perfectly! I'll need to source more in this colorway (Rosalinda) and reknit!🧶

Happy Hat Week, #ShowMeYourKnits! I don't think I've shared this one before. I knitted it back in 2015 and it's a pivotal project in my knitting career: the time I learned the hard way that you shouldn't knit cables with black yarn. 😭 🧶 🖤

Mix Tape Tee update: I'm moving right along! Although I fear the double-width stripe under the sleeve is gonna drive me crazy, but I can't do anything about it, so I'm trying not to focus on it! 😂 🧶 #KnitSky

I'm done! 🥳🧶🎊 Here's my Owl Obsession blanket all pinned out on the blocking board! This one was definitely a labor of love, but it turned out so cute! I can't wait to see it in its final form once it dries!! #CrochetSky

A  colorful crocheted Owl Obsession blanket stretched out for blocking on pale foam puzzle mats, with pins and white blocking combs holding the edges in place. Eight adorable owls with big white eyes are arranged among circular and square motifs in vibrant shades of blue, purple, teal, orange, red, and green. The motifs are joined with intricate white crochet, and the blanket is finished with a delicate, scalloped lace border.

Autumn vibes for #ShowMeYourKnits! 🧶 I rarely wear my shawls like this, but I wanted to show off the lace in the photo… though I think I’m totally pulling it off! Does anyone wear shawls their bib-style like this? 🤔 Any styling tips?

Love my new Foxy Sock from Potion Yarns! The note that came with it was so sweet! Phoebe is her cat who just gave her mom a surprise vet bill, which is the perfect excuse for me to buy some yarn, right?... 🧶 #potionyarns #knitsky

The note says: "Phoebe says thank you for helping with her vet bills! She's wishing you many hours of cozy crafting" and is signed with a heart & her name, Johanna.

I'll be posting a 2027 Knitting Advent Calendar roundup on my blog this weekend. If any of my small-biz pals here on #KnitSky have an Advent you'd like me to feature OR if you sell small items that could go into a DIY Advent, please send links to me so I can feature you!!

Progress update on my Owl Obsession baby blanket: I'm almost finished with all the motifs! I just need to make the little half octagons to fill in the gaps along the edges. Then the seaming begins... Is that as hard as it sounds?? 😬 I'm an afghan newbie. #whatsonyourhook #crochetsky 🧶
