My apologies for disappearing for the last week. I needed to take time for myself and my kiddos. I am back and knitting has helped…. #knitsky

This week’s #showmeyourknits theme is what’s on your needles. After finishing 2 projects, I am coming back to the Virdek Shawl to knit the other half. I completed chart D. #knitsky #wipwednesday
Love these! 💜 Sawtooth Mountains Socks by Virginia Sattler-Reimer in Farmer’s Daughter Fibers Rocky Mountain Purls in 2026 Sock Squad colorway Wild Violet #knitsky #showmeyourknits
I finished Riggies Vest by Gudrun Johnson in John Arbon Textiles Appledore DK in Slack ma girdle. My photo doesn’t look as great on the mannequin as it does when I put it on but it’s hotter than Hades so… #knitsky #showmeyourknits #knitsky
Help. #knitsky I got distracted and goofed.😩 I did an icord bind off for the armholes and accidentally went down the side too. There are ONLY 15 side sts and they are supposed to 3NDL BO. Say F it and graft the side 15sts in the icord or rip all the way back to shoulder and redo it all? (Vest)
This week is a light and dark theme for #showmeyourknits I have: Fiobarra Hat by @stolenstitches.bsky.social in Stolen Stitches Solas in Ban. Opposite is Graham by Jennifer Adams in Jade Sapphire Handspun Mongolian Cashmere in Squid Ink. It has a lovely texture but so hard to photograph. #knitsky
Got all 4 pieces done. Would love to start putting this together and keep going but it’s gonna have to wait until kiddos are asleep. Hopefully an FO in a day or two. #knitsky
#showmeyourknits WWKIP week #knitsky Unfortunately I didn’t go out today due to a knee injury, this is from November. Will try to add a recent photo later this week though
Finished the first half of my shawl. It’s quite large before blocking. Need to put it on hold and then knit the other half. (They attach at the center) I also started winding yarn for the Riggies Vest in this gorgeous John Arbon Textiles Appledore DK in colorway Slack Ma Girdle. #knitsky
Thank you @almakatsu.bsky.social for sending me this book and tote. (I won a drawing on Substack) Always a pleasure to try new to me authors.
Stripes for #showmeyourknits week. Merging Ripples Shawl by Kyoto Nakayishi #knitsky Short rows manipulate the colors to form uneven stripes creating an illusion.
More stripes for this week’s #showmeyourknits theme. Of course I have striped socks. 🤪 Here are a few… #knitsky
This week’s #showmeyourknits is stripes. I knit the Shetland Ruffles by Kieran Foley to purposefully manipulate stripes. #knitsky 2nd photo is a close up.
Today is my birthday! I worked on my shawl after my kiddos went to sleep. Ran out of yarn, so I need to pull out another skein. One row and one chart repeat before I am done with this half to be put on holder. Making good progress. This is an addictive knit. #knitsky
#knitsky #wipwednesday Made some progress on my shawl, completing 2 chart repeats. Also started winding some yarn for another project.
#showmeyourknits week is blankets. One for my bed and two for my daughter when she was younger. My son only recently can tolerate blankets so next one I knit will be his. #knitsky 1. Simply Stripes Blanket by Elizabeth Smith 2. Little Tern Blanket by tincanknits 3. No pattern Chevron Baby Blanket
Thank you so much @samantha-west.bsky.social for the generous gift for the #lightitupmal. I chose the UFO cowl. It looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun to knit and to wear. #knitsky Everyone should check out her designs on Ravelry. Posting link below. www.ravelry.com/designers/sa...

Not much knitting time lately. Sigh. I have 2 young AuDHD kids and my 6 year old son is level 3, completely non verbal, with too many acronyms to count. He needs 24/7 support. He’s had a bad week. Hopefully things will be better so I can have more knitting time for my own mental health. #knitsky
