#knitsky I'm never making a saddle shoulder garment ag as in. It's so fiddly fitting the saddled sleeve.

Finished! This actually fits last week's #showmeyourknits (sweater) prompt since it came off the needles yesterday!

Pattern 📐: My own banana charts, knitted according to the Cline Sweater pattern by Julie Hoover

It's so floofy and warm !

The beginning of a grey circular shawl on a hot pink Ewenicorn circular needle wrapped in on itself. It is on a grey painted picnic table.

The kid likes starting circular knits more than I do, so they started my pi shawl for me while I played Hello Kitty Island Adventure. 🥹

This is a close up of a costume (for the stage)  that is being hand knitted from cotton string. 
They’ve told me it is usually used for the backs of carpets.  
It is off white and it’s Reverse Stocking Stitch with some deliberate holes ‘flea bites’. 

I’m not enjoying this job - the string has no ‘give’ and it makes my hands hurt

This close up shows some red brown - (the colour of a red squirrel) hand knitting  in plain Stocking Stitch. 

It is knitted from Rowan ‘Kid Silk Haze’ which is mohair with 30% silk.  I’m knitting this held double - 2 strands together but it is still like knitting with wisps. 

This will be a lady’s garment in a movie - and I have to make 2 - as one will be ‘broken down’ because the character is having a hard life.

#showmeyourknits - it’s What’s on Your Needles #whatsonyourneedles this week. I’m working flat out on 2 costume commissions right now - tight deadlines! Not my designs & I can’t show you much but there’s quite a contrast ‘tween them … one is string - the other fine & luxurious #handknitting #knitsky

These are all the trimmings left over from the yarn tails after weaving them in on my psychedelic banana sweater! 🍌🪡🧶

96 grams total

I'll be keeping them for stuffing toys and such 😄

Catalina Shawl by Lana Jois in 28/2 cashmere . The first three of seven base repeats. Very nice yarn and very soft, squishy hand in the raw fabric. But all those p1tbl in the twisted rib drive me mad!

The start of a stranded colourwork hat which has a pattern repeat of five gray wolves on a dark blue background, howling at the moon. The brim of the hat is green and brown with tan speckles, which is supposed to be the ground.

I successfully knit the wolves, but it took so much manual needle selection 😭 The machine's been brought to the workshop for cleaning & figuring out what's wrong.

Next time I might just do more dark blue ribbing at the brim instead of the 'ground' effect.

One completed sock in spring colors alongside the toes and partial foot of its mate on a circular needle.  The toe, heel, and bind off are in a tonal purplish pink.  The self-striping yarn for the rest of the sock has stripes in six pastel colors separated by thin grey outlines. The first stripe matches the purplish pink of the heel, and then there are pink, cantaloupe, grey-green, pale green, and light green. The slip stitch pattern on the leg and the top of the foot are loosely based on Stephen West’s Rain or Shine socks, and the texture is lined up to the yarn colors as they emerge in the style of Fatimah Hinds’s Serendipitous Journey socks.

The completed first sock on my outstretched foot, with a clear view of the top of the leg, foot, and toe. Between the solid-color portion of the toe and the ribbing at the cuff, the fabric has a texture reminiscent of basket weaving or brickwork. I achieved this with three rounds of reverse stockinette for each stripe and either one or two rounds of stockinette in between to keep the texture roughly synched with the color changes.  Staggered slip stitches in the reverse stockinette strips divide each bumpy stripe into little five-stitch rectangles stacked like bricks.  The ribbing at the cuff is 1 x 2, so that the columns of knit stitches line up with the slip stitches.

The finished sock on my foot again, but in side view. Here, the heel and a bit of the bottom of the foot are visible. Since the sole of the sock is plain stockinette, this angle shows the unadulterated self-striping pattern, with the single round of grey in between the pastel stripes. I have only seen this outline effect in sock color ways from Lollipop Yarns, and it’s one of the reasons I’m so sad this independent dyer has disappeared. If you know of any active dyers who do this effect, please tell me about them!

A closeup of a toe-up sock in progress, with a purple DPN running lengthwise. 

The sock is mostly cobalt, with a 3-stitch high band of contrasting yellow lice stitch. 

The needle has white markings indicating each inch and half-imch.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love the 1/2” and 1” markings on @kollagesquare.bsky.social DPNs?

It makes figuring out the before-gusset length on these socks so much easier!

(Length before gusset = 6.5” because my son wears size 13.5 shoes! 😱)

Right and Left Cable Decreases Without a Cable Needle Step-by-step tutorial for beginner knitters about a simple, quick and safe way to make cable decreases without a cable needle.

We often see these decreases at the armholes of designer sweaters and cardigans, but they look equally well on hand-knitted projects, especially along the raglan lines.

a woman says " let me get my purse " on hulu Alt: a woman says " let me get my purse "

It's official. I have too much yarn for this system I never actually got around to setting up.

I can't FIND the stash yarn I was going to use for this shawl. Clearly, I either need to organize this BS or order the one I was actually planning on using and start a bit later than randomly.

🧶I misplaced my hooded #scarf and had to hastily seam a hat I knit that I patterned after my husband’s hat. I shouldn’t have, as my hair is too big and this hat only covered half of my ears. But it’s a #wool blend and I was very warm during my walk to the botanic gardens. #knitsky #beginnerknit

Ten Ways to Improve Your Fair Isle and Other Stranded Knitting Ten tips that will help you improve your stranded knitting technique and make projects made in Fair Isle and other colour patterns better.

Because these designs are made with two or more strands in different colours, this type of knitting is called “stranded knitting”.

Poll:

If I'm just casting on something new, am I choosing:

1 - a long-term project: an Elizabeth Zimmerman inspired pi shawl simce its Pi Day that I will get off of Ravelry and was going to maybe use for a vow renewal headpiece.

2 - a short-term project: socks that I will be winging.

A purple, tweedy knit baby cardigan. The sleeve stitches are on holders.

I've had this pattern (Fairy Dust, by Dani Sunshine) in my queue forever, and I finally decided this purple Rowan Felted Tweed was the perfect yarn for it.

I'm trying to get one more shipment of warm baby things out to Pine Ridge before spring!
