Here's a stranded, steeked dickey with a seamed edge and knitted, sewn-down facing. The pattern is Bringeduk Cowl, www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #knitting #strandedcolorwork

This textured hat is another pattern from @katedaviesdesigns.bsky.social's new collection, Making Light. I've used mirrored lifted increases instead of the original yarnovers, for a denser fabric suitable for donation. Wool and Alpaca. #knitting #Dirken #MakingLight

Three vests for babies, in bulky weight yarn, much of it handspun; these will most likely go to Gaza, Ukraine, or Jordan through organizations that don't rely on federal funding: #knitting #communityknitting

Another couple of fabulous patterns from @katedaviesdesigns.bsky.social's current club, Making Light. I've made them into a toddler vest and a hat (the patterns are for an adult sweater and mittens). #katedavies #makinglight #knitting #strandedcolorwork #BlueMonk #Monk'sDream

This toddler vest was inspired by another pattern from the @katedaviesdesigns.bsky.social's "Making Light" collection. I had hoped to include a hood, as in the published pattern, but I couldn't work out the numbers! #knitting #strandedcolorwork #makingligh#katedavies #Clanframjie

Another pattern (modified) from @katedaviesdesigns.bsky.social's new collection, this one is called Sun Pillars and is a seamless yoke riff on the Ciar motif. This is my riff on it for a child's size, and appropriate for donation: #knitting #strandedcolorwork #sunpillars #katedavies
