I'm pretty sure the few things I've made that fit this week's prompt, I've shared already. Here's a baby hat I was working on while the kids played in the snow πŸ’™πŸ§Ά

We are quickly coming up on 50,000 whistles shipped so far in January, and I am just forever impressed by the passion of the folks who have joined forces with us!

A reminder that if you know anyone who needs whistles, they can email the address at the top of our linktree! linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

The theme for #showmeyourknits this week is whites and brights. I had more white objects to offer than I expected

For this week's coloured work or holiday theme, I give you my oldest's stocking. I planned to make one for everyone in the family but I messed up the bottom of this one, somehow, and always meant to go back to them. Maybe a 2026 project πŸ’™πŸ§Ά

Cables this week for #showmeyourknits!
Got a cup cozy, owls from a sleep sack that was gifted many years ago, some mittens I did as my first time testing a pattern (by Mountaintop Yarns), and a hat I shared already but it's one of my favorite FOs πŸ’™πŸ§Ά #knit #knitsky

I forgot to give an update on Beary! Bit of scarring but all and all a success. She's been released back into the care of her owner πŸ’™πŸ§Ά #knitsky

Honestly, this week's theme really works out. Got me to look through and see who might need a new hat for this winter

Made this bear for my friend's baby when she was born 6 years ago. It was one of the first animals I made & I'm happy to know it has been a loved thing. Going to attempt some surgery to repair it after a run-in with their new pup. Won't be the same but still loveable, hopefully πŸ’™πŸ§Ά 🧸

Maybe not the greatest picture, but my first cable knit was a hat for my mother in law during her first round of chemo

Knits that bring us joy or that we knit to care #showmeyourknits #knitsky

This yarn was dyed using avocado pits (in 2021?). I still haven't figured out what I want to use it for. I'll find the perfect pattern someday but learning this process and the outcome gave me so much joy πŸ§ΆπŸ’™

I've never done a repair like this before and figured if I was already prepare to frog and start over I might as well give this a try. Worst that can happen is I end up frogging it all anyway but hopefully I learn a bit first

Thanks! I remember the pattern being fun to work up. I wanted to make a matching cowl

That time my almost 2 (at the time) year old thought it'd be fun if I wore all of my scarfs. Blue one in the center has been my go to since I made it a decade of so ago πŸ§ΆπŸ’™
