It's a fine day in Lincolnshire for #KnittingInPublicDay even if it is down the allotment. Not easy knitting with pale yarn when you're wearing mucky dungarees from digging 🪏 😆🧶 #knit #knitsky

Vest in King Cole Prism completed. Bought this yarn from a LYS in Newton Stewart, Scotland. I always buy something from each LYS I visit, it's so important to support these small independents. Use 'em or lose 'em! Pattern is Hayfield 10327. 🧶 #knit #knitting #knitsky

One of my current WIPs for this week's #showmeyourknits 🧶 This is the Wild Flowers Tee by @tifneilanhandknits.bsky.social This is only my 2nd top down garment I've done. The pattern is really well written & is easy to follow. Think another will be on the cards. Yarn in alt text. #knit #knitsky

#showmeyourknits DK edition This is the Estelle Cable Sleeved Cardigan by Sarah Hatton in West Yorkshire Spinners Bo Peep Pure. I ended up putting shoulder pads in it to help with the fit, so I feel a bit Krystal Carrington from Dynasty in this one 😆 🧶 #knit #knitsky

I can't believe it's been a week since I went to Wonderwool Wales. I went with my mum & my best friend & we all had an amazing time. Did I blow my budget? Of course I did 😆 🧶 #knit #knitsky #wonderwoolwales

Absolutely horrified that this despicable woman from a Trump supporting, Nazi sympathising, far right party is now the mayor for Greater Lincolnshire. #notmymayor

#showmeyourknits gift edition 🎁 I made this shawl back in 2022 as a Christmas present for one of my best friends, who now lives in New Zealand. We met at the age of 11 at High School & discovered a mutual love of Narnia. I named the shawl Alambil, after the star in Prince Caspian. 🧶 #knitsky
