The world is on fire and all I'm doing is sitting here knitting a protest hat 5

It’s time for a #showmeyourknits WIP roundup.
This week I’m working on a blanket, a top, and a second sock. 🧶

It’s #showmeyourknits firsts week. Last night I finished my first sock of the year 🧦🧶🤎

In 2025 I tracked my knitting.
In 2026 I’ve got three things I’d like to focus on— finally knitting the projects I’ve got kitted up in my stash, using up partial skeins and other leftovers, and sock knitting.
New Years Day cast ons are a sock, a blanket, and a swatch. 💙💜🤎

For the first time, in 2025, I decided to track what I knit in a year, no particular focus or goals.
Here’s what I made:
13 hats
10 toys
5 sweaters
5 cozies
4 tops
3 shawls
3 cowls
2 scarves
1 bedspread
29 pairs of socks
Total items knit: 75
Total grams knit: approx 8,704

In December I made 1 cardigan, 1 gnome, 2 hats, and 3 pairs of socks

🧶=808g

I gave it to my niece for Christmas
I kind of want to make another one, though. . .

It’s #showmeyourknits knitter’s choice favorite of 2025 week. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but it’s easy to pick a cutest.
This little dragon I made for my niece is definitely my cutest knit of 2025 🖤

Whites and brights this week for #showmeyourknits.
These are probably the whitest sweater and the brightest shawl I’ve knit 🤍🧡🩷

It’s #showmeyourknits cardigan week. I’d like to have this one done and ready for pre-steek blocking by Sunday 🌻

Last week was #showmeyourknits holiday colors. My husband loves Christmas and has an early December birthday, so he gets a new hat every year to wear for the month. Here’s a sampling of some of his favorites.

In November I made 1 sweater, 1 scarf, 2 pairs of socks, 3 hats, and 5 mason jar cozies.

It’s time to show off our advent knitting for #showmeyourknits.
While not strictly an “advent,” this was a super fun summer mini skein countdown project I did last July. It’s so cozy and colorful for gray winter days 🧶

It’s #showmeyourknits indie week. I get lots of compliments whenever I wear this vest 💙

It’s #showmeyourknits fluff week, and my current WIP fits the bill— it’s so fluffy! (Plus it has sparkle)
✨🤩✨

Thanks! This is Cascade Heritage Prints in color 161 😊

#showmeyourknits is looking for WIPs this week.
I’m traveling with a sock WIP this weekend— perfect for a little Sunday morning coffee and knitting by the river ☕️🧶⚓️

It’s #showmeyourknits cables week— these cabled projects have been in regular rotation this fall 💛💜🩷

October was a month of smalls. I made one pumpkin, one pumpkin witch, one cowl, one hat, and 3 pairs of socks.
🧶= 478g

Last week was #showmeyourknits nightmares. These are all things that are/were too itchy to wear 😱

It’s #showmeyourknits hat week, and it’s gotta be the Musselburgh.
I love this pattern— it’s warm and easy to wear, it’s great travel knitting, and perfect for single skeins, scraps, or modifications.
I’ve made a bunch of them, but here’s 3 of my faves.

It’s #showmeyourknits spooky week. My spooky new hat is fresh off the blocking mat and ready to wear 💚💀👻💚

It’s #showmeyourknits sock week.
I always thought I hated knitting socks until a friend at knit night convinced me to make socks with her. Turns out, I don’t hate socks. Here are most of the socks I’ve made so far in 2025, plus one pair in progress, minus what’s already been gifted.
💚🧦🧶💚

In September I made 1 sweater vest, 1 pair of socks, 1 very bright shawl, and 4 pumpkins
🧶= 970g

This week I made my own pumpkin patch, perfect for autumn joy week on #showmeyourknits
🍁🎃🍁

Exactly 😀🐙🏒

This week we’re posting autumnal knits for #showmeyourknits.
It’s not traditional fall colors, but the Autumn Leaves hat seemed like a good idea 🍁🧶🍁
