I usually wait until the next clue is released to post about the previous clue. The mystery is over by then…designers often even post pictures of the previous clue’s progress by then.

The start of a toe-up sock using magic loop with a tonal tan as the main color. The main part of the foot is tan and dark brown stripes with slipped stitches making vertical lines up the foot.

Perspective of knitting in bed in the Thistle Thorn tee. It has a textured pattern using a deep midnight blue and a variegated colorway of mostly mauves and light greens. There is a little fox stitch marker hanging out. In the background, on the wall opposite the bed, are shelves and a dresser full of plants, as well as plant and animal paintings hanging on the wall.

#wipwednesday features a new sock cast on (test knit) and my Thistle Thorn tee that I’m still plugging away on. I just separated for sleeves!

For #showmeyourknits Lace week, I have the Fairyhill Shawl by Helen Stewart that I knit as part of her Shawl Society in 2017. I really don’t knit much lace, as I’m more of a brioche girl, but I do love the few pieces that I have knit! 🧢 #knitsky

Modeling a dark teal hat. It has a ribbed brim folded up and the body has an intricate pattern created with cables of varying sizes. The dark color makes the texture a little harder to see.

Double the hat pattern releases this week! I also test knit the Rockhound Hat for @woolandpine.bsky.social - in fact, I knit two of them! Happy 100th pattern release to them πŸŽ‰

Great pattern for those wanting to try 2-color brioche for the first time! The pattern includes lots of tutorial info. #knitsky 🧢

Me standing in front of shelves with plants wearing a newly finished sweater. The main color is a light gray and the colorwork is knit with a color-changing yarn that contains oranges, browns, blues, reds, and yellows. Most of the colorwork is decorative, but there is a band of prancing horses on the chest.

#showmeyourknits is WILD - animal themed. This is Ghost Horses that I knit late 2019-early 2020. The horses are barely visibly, but I guess that’s fitting. #knitsky 🧢

A freshly finished pair of red socks on my feet. They have a textured panel down the front of the foot lined with two delicate cables. The leg is extra long so it can be scrunched down.

Grant’s Point Socks by @aliciaplum.bsky.social finished! I’m glad I chose this pattern for February #socksquad2026 - they took a long time to knit, but I love the finished product. #knitsky 🧢

Red socks knit from the cuff down. The heel flap is finished on one and in progress on the other. The socks have a textured pattern lined by tiny cables on the front of the legs.

This week’s #showmeyourknits is Red β™₯️ and Pink 🩷, and I’m working on some red socks for February’s Sock Squad 2026. I’m knitting the Grant’s Point pattern by @aliciaplum.bsky.social
The legs are so long that they took forever to knit, but I just know they’re going to be super cozy! #knitsky 🧢

It’s Hedgehog Fibers colorway Wave, which I believe is an exclusive colorway to the shop I purchased from, Wool and Co.

Thanks! Unfortunately the deep purple bled a lot while blocking so the foreground color now has a more purple tint, bit it’s still pretty πŸ’œ

Straight brioche knitting. The foreground color is light aqua with purple and orange speckles. The background color is a deep purple. There is a little fox stitch marker hanging in the middle.

Some pretty brioche for this week’s #wipwednesday though I am also still working on that sweater. And a pair of socks. I am definitely not knitting monogamous πŸ˜† #knitsky 🧢

Finished my January Sock Squad project just in the nick of time, since today is the deadline! I still have to tweak the pattern more, but if anyone is interested in possibly test knitting, please send me a DM. 🧢 #knitsky

The first 6 inches or so of a bottom-up sweater. The hem is deep bluish gray, and the main body of the sweater is knit with a combination of that color and a variegated skein of light greens and mauves. The knit texture is a somewhat star pattern.

Tinking is when you undo your knitting one stitch at a time, basically undoing each knit stitch. Frogging is taking your needles out and just ripping it back.

The beginning of a sweater on circular needles. The bottom ribbed hem is knit in a very deep navy blue and then it transitions into a textured knit using the navy and a variegated pale green & mauve yarn. Only a couple inches of the textured body is knit.

#wipwednesday Frogged and restarted my Thistle Thorn pullover with a different accent color. It’s a bit early to see the pattern really emerge, but I think I’m going to like this one a lot better. πŸ‘ŒπŸ» #knitsky 🧢

The shaping and proportions are just really spot on! I love the v-neck especially. And the yarn I used is so soft and cozy!
