This was our (Kat's Riverside Studio) 🧶 2024 Advent calendar. Having a hard time deciding what to make with it. Colourwork? Something striped? It's a tough one... #knitsky #handyedyarn

What an amazing person. Creates a debt acquisition company to buy £1 million of debt for £100,000 and then writes of this debt (for 900 people). www.bbc.com/news/article...

Between silently (and not so silently screaming) at world events, I finished my Saltkaret, in mostly 🧶 @brooklyntweed.bsky.social Tones and Loft. Very light but very cozy. #knitsky #knitting

From the naughty pile back to being a WIP (which I will finish soon!) pattern is Grand Môme by Xiaowei in Kat's Riverside Studio singles 🧶 I dyed ages ago specifically for this project. Love a good brioche project #showmeyourknits #knitting #knitsky

So. Many. WIPS. But looking forward to finishing these. I should get rid of more sweaters to make room (usually to family and friends). #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting 🧶

A jumble of WIPs, @woolandpine.bsky.social Seaglass cardigan, Iris colourwork pullover, and Grand Môme brioche pullover. They will all be finished someday this year 😁 🧶 #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting

Another WIP: Marie Wallin's Seaton. Using Holst Garn Supersoft 🧶 held double and making it sleeveless (not enough yarn and I would be too hot in a worsted weight colourwork sweater). Knitting the top part flat to avoid thick seams from steeking. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting

I have a lot of WIPs (major understatement 🤪) for #showmeyourknits but I am trying to concentrate on a few at a time. I am close to finishing @sari-nordlund.bsky.social Saltkaret, maybe this week?? Many more WIPs to come though... #knitsky #knitting #colourworkknitting

Working a little every day on the @norahgn.bsky.social Circlet Shrug in discontinued Berroco Inca Gold 🧶 and from the discontinued Making magazine. The cables are mind blowing 🤯 #knitting #knitsky

I did major surgery on this vest (Roosty Tank Top). Recut the armholes (it was too wide across the chest), cut both sides open and removed about 3" from the body circumference and redid the ribbing, adding length and Italian bind off. Now it's perfect! 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

Squeezing in a bunch of striped sweaters before "stripes" week ends for #showmeyourknits 🧶 . Hoodies were for my grandsons, the rest obviously for me 🤣 #knitting #knitsky

Working on a top-down brioche oversized pullover (making it up as I go) using ancient Drops Silke-Tweed 🧶 that's been in my stash for over 20 years! It's mindless knitting on the body now so good when I'm feeling stressed. #knitting #knitsky #briocheknitting

Mostly self-drafted navy-on-navy striped pullover in Amirisu Parade (darker navy) and @purlsoho.bsky.social Linen Quill 🧶 My most worn lightweight sweater. (I won an Amirisu gift certificate in a KAL and ordered from their Japanese website). Love both yarns! #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting

This pattern is Emma from Cocoknits knit in Noro Taiyo Aran🧶 I got in a thrift store for $18 for 4 skeins. Love that pop of chartreuse (my favourite neutral 😂) and the yarn did all the striping work. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting

This is my striped version of the Evendoon Cardigan knit in @kelbournewoolens.bsky.social Scout 🧶The colours just happened to come together: skeins I won in a KAL and others bought on sale. This was my last instagram pic before I deleted it, hence the wave. #showmeyourknits #knitting #knitsky

I don't only knit for myself (well mostly 😂). Made this @norahgn.bsky.social Denali pullover for my son 4 years ago in a hemp/wool mix 🧶 I had a few skeins of different colours so made it striped. Guess I could have added this to the #showmeyourknits cable week too! #knitting #knitsky
