This week’s #ShowMeYourKnits prompt is sweaters, so here’s my favourite, the Fine Sweater that I made a couple of years ago - a fantastic pattern by Yu Jie 🧶

Another #embroidery kit done (the 5th one this year!). Really need to ignore the last two until I have got some knitting done!

Another hat post for #ShowMeYourKnits - pattern from the Fellowship of the Knits book 🧶

#ShowMeYourKnits this week is HATS, so here are a few lockdown knits (guess who bought a bag of assorted pom-poms?!) 🧶

I wasn’t sure I would get this baby cardi finished during #ShowMeYourKnits cable week, but have just managed to sew on the buttons so it’s ready to pass on to my friend for her niece next week 🧶

Yay, it’s cable week on #ShowMeYourKnits - I am making a cabled cardi for a friend’s niece at the minute, but here are a few previous cabled baby knits 🧶

No spooky knits from me, but I’m supposed to be running a craft session at work tomorrow (if I can shake this flu-y cold), here’s a ghostly pincushion #embroidery

#ShowMeYourKnits this week is socks (which I rarely make). Here are some baby bootees instead from a few years ago 🧶

My #embroidery obsession continues! Have moved on from insects to mushrooms

Something I’m proud of for #ShowMeYourKnits - this is the most complicated cable knit I’ve done, it took ages! Pattern by Marie Wallinn 🧶

Latest baby jumper is all sewn up - it’s the Simpkin pattern by Martin Storey, I am tempted to make an adult size version of this for myself! 🧶

More autumnal shades for #ShowMeYourKnits

Thank you @presentcorrect.bsky.social for the recommendation for the London Centre for Book Arts. I had a great day of letterpress printing in this amazing space, what a brilliant experience.

#ShowMeYourKnits this week is autumnal, so here’s a baby jumper with strong pumpkin vibes 🧶

Today I have felted a fancy fish! Not sure I will be doing a lot of needle felting, but it was a fun kit to try out

It’s scarf week for #ShowMeYourKnits - here’s one I made earlier this year to try out a cable pattern. 🧶

One last #ShowMeYourKnits entry for the week - I’ve started making a Martin Storey jumper for a friend at work 🧶

Another work in progress for #ShowMeYourKnits - I have been trying out patterns from the Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible. These will probably turn into a blanket at some point, once I’ve made some more and blocked them 🧶

Another sweater for this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits - a baby knit made with Shetland wool left over from another project 🧶

Welcome back @livrunsfast.bsky.social and thanks for my guest host spot last week! This is the last adult sweater I made, for my brother for Christmas #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

#wipwednesday #ShowMeYourKnits Baby Max is living up to his name, so I’ve just started a new jumper for him 🧶

#wipwednesday a bit more progress on the Steady Thread sew-along #embroidery

#ShowMeYourKnits this week is STRIPES, so here is the Time Team jumper I made for my husband 🧶

UK knitting/ crochet crew - here’s an amazing job for someone! 🧶 www.linkedin.com/posts/stitch...

This is some mending on one of my favourite Kidsilk Haze cardigans - knitted patches over moth holes #ShowMeYourKnits

This week’s #ShowMeYourKnits is all about sustainability- I loved this wool and the Rowan cable pattern, but when it got attacked by moths I decided a reknit was needed (there is a hat somewhere too, though I can’t find a photo) 🧶

I’ve been stitching the Flowering Plant Friends pattern from The Steady Thread over the past month - just finished #embroidery #blackwork

Good news!

Congrats on 2 years of #ShowMeYourKnits, one of my favourite bits of the week without fail! Here’s a baby dress I made, twice 🧶

I think it’s fair to say I have had plenty of value from one Sirdar baby jumper pattern (these are from 2014-18, I’ve made it many times since too!) 🧶#ShowMeYourKnits

This week’s #ShowMeYourKnits is the stuff that makes knitting more fun - here are some personalised needles from a Secret Santa plus my ridiculous knitting bookshelf (photo is from 2024, there are no gaps now, mainly due to my charity shop habits) 🧶

Ever since I organised the sashiko and boro workshop at work I’ve been obsessed! Finished and bound the table mat today #embroidery

Last but not least, this is a Rowan baby jumper that I have made quite a few times that has a great texture (all just knit and purl stitches) #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

I love the texture that these cables create on this baby jumper too (pattern from Lullaby Knits book) #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

This week’s #ShowMeYourKnits theme is texture - here’s a Paintbox Yarns jumper I made in chunky wool with three different layers of very simple stitches 🧶

Another WIP blanket square using a pattern from the Japanese Knitting Bible - might need to frog this as I made a few mistakes during France Morocco last night #ShowMeYourKnits

#ShowMeYourKnits and I’m still knitting cotton squares to try out patterns from the Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible (keep getting distracted by embroidery!) 🧶

#wipwednesday - waiting for more black thread so the plants will be put on hold and I will finish off another knitted blanket square!

#ShowMeYourKnits this week is BLUES - here are a few blue things that I’ve probably posted before as part of this amazing challenge 🧶

This week’s #ShowMeYourKnits theme is light and dark so here’s a black and white baby jumper from 2019 (!) with a basketweave colour work pattern from an Andrea Rangel book 🧶

#wipwednesday (bit late in the day). More Japanese Knitting Bible patterns (cream one started today, orange and blue ones finished this week)

The sewing machine was not perfected in one heroic flash. Elias Howe’s lockstitch was a major breakthrough, but Isaac Singer’s improvements helped turn the sewing machine a useful tool.  #FashionConservatory #SingerSewingMachine #IsaacSinger #EliasHowe #SewingHistory #SewingMachine #FashionHistory

Ha ha, just remembered this photo of me with knitting that I got my husband to take when I was doing some work-related knitting during COVID - cringe as it is, I think I put it on LinkedIn nonetheless! #ShowMeYourKnits

Another #ShowMeYourKnits knitting in public(-ish) post - from the garden last year 🧶

This week’s #ShowMeYourKnits is Worldwide Knit in Public day - here’s some on-train knitting from last year (plus the finished article) 🧶
