I am a knitter, spinner, weaver, dyer and lover of wool and silk. I am also a mixed media artist and painter. If it’s creative I have done it. Would live to connect with other creatives.

Made it past the ribbing. The Terrazzo Neck pattern by Petite Knits. Made with Drops Lima and Drops kid silk. The fabric it makes I so soft.

I’ve started knitting the Obsidian sweater in Rauma Finul Garn. I love how the colorwork so far looks like little people. I am doing a KAL with a friend. Mine is in the original black and white and hers is in Autumn colors. So fun to be knitting this sweater with a friend. #knitting

I like to do colorwork using both hands I hold the pattern color in my left hand and knit continental and the background color in my right hand for English style knitting. Often I go up a needle size when I am knitting colorwork.

I seem to wear these fingerless mitts daily now. I am getting real tired of this subzero weather. There is a patch of blue sky today so that always lifts my spirits. What is bringing you joy today?

@knittymag.bsky.social I love to knit weave dye spin. My latest wip, a Baby blanket. Well not my only wip. I am also excited to knit myself one of those emotional Support chickens. Then there’s the Coorie in Poncho, and the Sheep Camp sweater. I am out in Idaho where all those potatoes are grown.
