My needles are almost free to start a new project! 🧶 This gorgeous yarn is about to become a sample of the Ashburn shawl by Melanie Berg showcasing Primo Fingering by @pluckyknitter.bsky.social Who else loves this color combo? #knitting #knitsky #yarn #showmeyourknitting #knit #indieyarn

Happy Fiber Friends Day for the #fiberuarychallenge! Yesterday, I stopped by Oliver's Originals in Manlius, NY to collab with Shannon, the owner. She just released a new line of her own yarn called "Lake Effect," and I'm going to use it to design an LYS day pattern! More info soon! 🧶 #knitting

It's reading/watching day for the #fiberuarychallenge ... and so far today, I haven't read or watched anything yet. I was busy finishing up and blocking a sample knit. But I'm about to cast on another, and I'll probably watch Father Brown while I do! 🧶 #yarn #knitting #showmeyourknits #fiberarts

This is what my "cozy corner" looks like ... this year, at least. What's your favorite cozy place to knit? #fiberuarychallenge #knitting #crochet #yarn #knitsky #showmeyourknits #knit 🧶 #knittingnook #showmeyourknits

Today's theme is "love" for both #fiberuarychallenge and #showmeyourknitting ... and my current WIP is the perfect color! This is a sample knit of the Maritime Tee by Coco Amour Knitwear for Ikigai Fiber ... and the colors are perfect for today. I can't wait to show it off when it's finished!

Today's "unfinished business" for the #fiberuarychallenge is this Basketweave Bolero I made for a collab with Hobbii Yarns. It's technically finished, but the weather needs to hold out just long enough for me to get some nice pattern photos. Definitely looking forward to spring! #knitting

It's texture day for the #fiberuarychallenge and I had to scroll through my old projects to find these gems! They are the Atomic Robin Hood Marion Mitts, and they feature a gorgeous stitch from the Japanese Knitting Bible, plus a neat basketweave slip stitch on the palms! #knitting #yarn 🧶 #knit

It's Sunday Funday for #fiberuarychallenge and I just got home from yarn club. Now I'm curled up on the couch working on this new shawl design for Hobbii while it snows outside! 🧶❄️ #yarn #knitting #fiberarts #knittersofbsky #knitsky #showmeyourknits

This week's #showmeyourknits is all about love! In addition to designing patterns, I also sample knit for a couple indie yarn companies ... and I just received a new project from Ikigai Fiber yesterday! Check out these Valentine hues in Paka Washi colorways salt and geranium. 🧶 #knitting #yarn

Today's #fiberuarychallenge is mood booster! All fiber-related things boost my mood, but the one thing that's sure to lift my spirits is hanging out with my husband. He learned to spin and created a yarn club for the students at his school! #knitting #yarn #spinning #fiberarts #crochet 🧶

I love knitting with bright colors ... but my offering to the #fiberuarychallenge pop of color prompt is just a simple swatch. (Definitely not sitting on the couch knitting a shawl version of this right now.) 😉 #knitting #knitsky #fiberarts #yarn #knittersofbluesky #knit 🧶

Today's #fiberuarychallenge is "work in progress" ... and my current WIP is a bolero using basketweave stitch! The pattern is being sponsored by Hobbii yarn, so I'm using their Soft Alpaca and Dream Color yarns. #skykal #showmeyourknits #knitting #yarn #knittersofbluesky 🧶

It's stripes week for #showmeyourknits plus blue projects for #skykal ... so today I'm showing off this sample of the Melting Marl Kerchief by Stephen West. This past October, I knit it up for @pluckyknitter.bsky.social in their Plume Lace, and the stripes came out so cool! #knitting #knitsky 🧶
