It's still Lace Week for #showmeyourknits and I want to share my favorite lace socks! These are my River Bend Socks. My testers are just finishing theirs. Watch for the pattern next week! 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

I'm pretty happy with my skein of handspun I made from our rabbits' fur. There are some inconsistencies, but it should knit up fine. I'm glad I blended it with Corriedale; it made it easier to spin and should be easier to knit with too. Now, to decide if I should dye it or leave it natural?

It's Lace Week on #showmeyourknits. The Peony Tank I knit a couple summers ago is one of my favorite lace projects! 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

Test knit for @karisinks.bsky.social This is my first pair of lace socks, and I'm finding the repetition of the pattern so fun! Using two very similar 50g Leave No Trace skeins from @explorerknits.bsky.social #riverbendsocks #testknit #explorerknitsandfibers #leavenotrace #sockknitting #lacesocks

It may be -19 outside, but this blooming orchid is a good reminder that spring is on its way. Eventually.

This yak and silk blend is lucky it's so pretty, because it is a pain to spin 🧶 #handspinning #handspunyarn

I'm working on writing up a pattern, and I'm curious; do you print knitting patterns or just look at them on a device? Specifically, patterns that have a fairly simple repeat and don't have extensive charts to follow. I'm wondering if I should format it for pageless viewing. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

Please enjoy this very unaesthetic video of me steeking a cardigan 🧶 It's definitely not as scary as it looks! I used Peace Fleece Worsted for the MC, and my own handspun Rambouillet for the CC.

I sat down to take some pictures of these socks, but Lyra had other plans. 🧶 #knitsky #knitting #sockknitting

My kids have been asking me to make them something to remember our Angora rabbits that passed away last year. I'm going to blend their hair with Corriedale wool to give it more elasticity (and make it easier to spin!) This will be a long project, but a special one ❤️🐇🧶🐇❤️ #handspinning #handspun

Quick fit check after I split for the sleeves. It fits exactly as I hoped! I'm designing this cardigan to be my ultimate comfort knit, both to knit and to wear.🧶Top down, drop shoulder, no all purl rows, with an included button band. And maybe afterthought pockets? #knitsky #skykal #knitting
