- Grey theme for #showmeyourknits this week. I made this jumper a few years ago. I still wear it, but as it’s 100% alpaca it frequently needs de-fluffing. It’s fantastically warm, though. Yarn: hand-dyed alpaca Pattern: my own #knitsky #knitting
- I posted this for #showmeyourknits WIP week on Saturday. It came off the needles on Sunday - my first FO of 2026. 😁🧶 #kniiting #knitsky
- #showmeyourknits WIPs this week. My merino jumper is nearly done. The yarn is Proud as a Peacock by Untangled Yarns. I absolutely adore the colours in it. 🥰 It’s been such a relaxing freehand knit. Hoping to finish it this weekend. #knitting #knitsky
- #showmeyourknits My first superwash knit 5 years ago. I’m allergic to wool, but I liked the colour (Forgotten Banana) so much that I decided to risk it and found that I can use superwash. I know that it has its own issues, but I like it much better than a lot of the acrylics on offer. Info in ALT.
- I finished my cowl today so I’m posting it again for #showmeyourknits knitter’s choice! It’s so soft - I’ve been wearing it all afternoon and I don’t want to take it off. I’m really pleased with it. 😊 #knitting #knitsky
- Whites and brights week for #showmeyourknits White isn’t really my thing, but bright I can definitely do. 😁 This is my Christmas Day cast on - a very simple cowl in pure silk. 🤗 Yarn is Faves by @yarntings.bsky.social and it’s wonderfully soft and shiny. #knitting #knitsky
- #showmeyourknits knitter’s choice: I picked up this glorious sparkly merino yarn (STEVE by the Woolchemist) at the Woolly Good Gathering in Edinburgh this spring and made it into a shawl. I also got to play serious yarn chicken. 😂 Pattern is my own. #knitting #knitsky

- #showmeyourknits cardigan week. I’m not really a cardigan knitter or wearer, so I don’t have much to choose from for this week. But here’s a wee set that I made for a little person a few months ago. I think the yarn was called Hedgerow. The pattern is my own. #knitting #knitsky
- #showmeyourknits is holiday themed this week. I decided that I needed some sparkle at this time of year, found some appropriate yarn in my stash and finished my sparkly scarf this morning. 😊 As ever, the sparkles don’t photograph well, but they’re definitely there. #knitting #knitsky
- #showmeyourknits indie week. 😁 My favourite indie dyer is Untangled Yarns in the Scottish Borders untangled-yarns-ltd.square.site The colours are always stunning! Here’s a selection of jumpers / tank tops (+2 in the works) & shawls / hats in their yarn. Patterns are my own. #knisky #knitting
- I’ve just started the right thing for this week’s #showmeyourknits floof prompt: a lacework scarf in pure silk. Looking forward to wearing it. 😁 Yarn: Conker by YarnTings Pattern: my own. #knitting #knitsky
- My current #showmeyourknits WIP is a simple tank top made from The Woolchemist’s Mechanical Flow merino yarn. Unfortunately, the sparkle in the yarn doesn’t show up in the picture. It’s funny, though, that different hanks of the same hand dye yarn come out completely differently. 😁
- Cables for #showmeyourknits this week. 😁 I used tiny cables to create a lattice work on this jumper and added Estonian braids for a bit of variety. Yarn: Not Just For Girls by Rightside Yarns Pattern: My own #knitting #knitsky
- I didn’t think I had a horror story for this week’s #showmeyourknits until I took this jumper out of the wardrobe. I knitted it several years ago and decided I wanted to unravel it and make it into something new. It looks like a moth got there first! 😮😱
- Not that spooky for #showmeyourknits but I’ve got something seasonal on the needles at the moment - straight up stocking stitch slip-over in Pumpkin Spice (merino hand dye by Untangled Yarns). 🎃 #knitting #knitsky
- #showmeyourknits this week is scarves. I rarely knit scarves, but I made this one for a Terry Pratchett fan - my interpretation of The Colour of Magic. I stitched in (badly ☺️) what Google told me is the Latin motto of the Discworld knitters “Shut up, I’m counting.” Yarn: Warlock by Rightside Yarns.
- #showmeyourknits WIP this week is a jumper. 4ply hand dye from Untangled Yarns called Fire to a Flame. The colourway is quite autumnal so I decided to make it a leaf pattern. 😊 #knitting #knitsky
- Just getting this one in for sweater week for #showmeyourknits Just a simple knit in the round using two different dye lots of Untangled Yarns’ Apples to Orchards and Enchanted Woods for the cuffs. I the colours are much more accurate on the outdoor picture.
- Shawl week for #showmeyourknits I love knitting shawls and I particularly love this one. I used the Woolchemist’s STEVE colourway (named after the atmospheric phenomenon) in merino with stellina. Unfortunately, the sparkly bits don’t show up on the photo. Pattern is my own. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky
