#knitsky My newest knit pattern, Out of Office, is available for purchase in my pattern stores. I hope you love this versatile and reversible fingering weight shawl-like scarf. It comes in 3 sizes, all shown here!

A grey-haired white woman stands in a desert landscape next to a Palo Verde tree, looking towards the edge of the frame. She wears a gauzy asymmetric shawl of alternating stockinette and reverse stockinette in a vibrant medium green with sheen and drape. The yarn came from https://abstractfiber.com/collections/came-yak-silk.

Same person as in the previous picture faces away from the camera and looks off frame. The shawl pattern of bands of stockinette and reverse stockinette provide a muted texture.

This shawl (@shanalinesdesigns.bsky.social's pattern #L'dorVaDor) is the first time I've actually knitted anything with my handspun! The pattern was meditative, with enough shaping and texture to keep me engaged. A glorious 50% camel / 50% silk (Abstract Fiber) I spun to a light 2-ply fingering.

Beautiful 💚

Hey, hey #knitsky did you see @shanalinesdesigns.bsky.social new pattern Duplex? Shana used minis and a partial skein skein of our Ember base to make her sample. 🧶

I love the customization this pattern offers - use a sock set, minis, or stash bust.

🫛 Peapod Marble Fidget Toys 🧶 for end of year teacher gifts: done! These DK versions use just a little bit of yarn. The end result is satisfying to make, gift, and use. I added some mini s-biners purchased at a local hardware store so they can be attached easily to keys, name badges, whatever!

A photo grid of handspun skeins of yarn.

This collection of handspun skeins is a visual memory of the past year for me. My knitting has been all over the place and I’ve slowly been building my spinning skills.

Breathe in, breathe out. Simple words for a function we don’t need to think about. In the meantime, I’ll knit. Yeah, I’ll go for knitting. Pattern by @shanalinesdesigns.bsky.social yarn by Theatre Kid Yarn.

A knit project in progress using bright coral yarn and a color changing yarn.

Working on a design by @shanalinesdesigns.bsky.social that will be released this week. Yes, this gorgeous yarn from House of a la Mode is this happy and bright! My accent color is Spincycle Yarn in the Eventide color (exclusive to Black Mountain Yarn Co)
