Sleeve one is done - I will definitely finish my Winters Beach Cardi this week. It will be perfect for the current chilly weather πŸ₯Ά
My next cast on will be another Andrea Mowry pattern - Pink Fizz 😊

I managed two finished projects over the weekend. The stripy jumper was is the Tolsta Tee, not a big fan of the yarn (too many knots and rejoins out of sequence) but it’s a nice lightweight sweater for the transition to Spring.
The leg warmers were a request from a work colleague 😊

A knitting project in progress using rust-colored yarn, with a partially completed sock on short circular needles. Two balls of Drops Nord yarn in the same shade are nearby. The items rest on a white crocheted tablecloth, with a hammered metal planter visible in the background.

Progress on my February socks, the Hibernal socks by Summer Lee. Dedicating at least 20 minutes a day to these should ensure that they are finished by the end of the month 😊🧦

 A knitting scene featuring a partially knitted sweater in grey variegated yarn, still on the needles with the ball of yarn and a blue and white project bag alongside . Next to the sweater is a cup of tea in a floral mug. The items are placed on a crocheted lace tablecloth. In the background there is a hammered copper plant pot with green leaves.

My perfect relaxing day off work. A trip to the hairdressers and then time to work on my Tolsta Tee. Just half a sleeve to finish and then it’s done 😊

A  white, fluffy project bag shaped like a sheep sits on a crocheted lace table cloth. In front of the bag, there is a ball of rust-colored yarn with a partially knitted sock attached to knitting needles. The sock features a textured pattern and is held on a stitch holder

Happy Monday 🧢
I am close to finishing my first garment of 2025, just one sleeve to go. This is a longer sleeved version of the Tolsta Tee. I wasn’t sure I would have enough yarn for the sleeves but w have managed to stretch it to three quarter length 😊

I thought it was time to revisit BlueSky as quite a few of my favourite yarny people are now over here.
Currently enjoying a much needed relaxing crafty weekend with some reading thrown in too …. just bliss. ☺️
I am trying to get a couple of my WIPs finished but it may not happen this weekend.

I had to pull back the pretty colourwork mitts I was working on as they were too big and so decided to go for something quick and simple and I cast on the world’s simplest mittens by Tin Can Knits.
They are so quick to knit, I had the first one done in an evening 😊

The pattern is the Scattering Petals Cowl by Dana Rae Makes. The pattern is a really easy repeated pattern. It’s a great way to use up leftovers and minis 😊

Hello BlueSky
I’m not sure if I can handle another social media platform but I’m giving it a go 😊
I’m here to mostly share my knitting and my love of all things yarny, with some glimpses of my walks and other daily life bits and bobs.
Here’s what’s currently on my needles 🧢
