I have not made a new cast on yet in 2026, but my first planned new project is Shawlography by Stephen West! I've put together this very pretty pastel palette. These are colours I have always liked, but are unusual for me to use in my knitting. 🧶🎀💠🔮🌻🤍
Two stacks of three cakes of yarn. Brands include Knitting for Olive, The Loving Path, Life In The Long Grass, Knit Picks, and Lichen and Lace

I am so happy with my Turtledove Shawl by Sari Nordlund. I see it as a benchmark in my knitting technical abilities. Like yeah, I made THAT! 🧶 #knitsky

Knit a sock a month challenge update:
Jan/Feb/March have all worked out! The rainbow pair is my Jan/March, in Feb I finished the second pink sock, meaning 2 finished pairs already for 2025. Really good for me based on historic knitting trends! 🧦🧶✨️
My January and February socks. January is a rainbow self striping vanilla sock, February is a hot pink rendition of Cookie A's Monkey socks from Knitty Mag My rainbow handknit socks ready for their first wear day! I like how the blue stripes pair with my Levis :) Hot pink Monkey socks by designer Cookie A from Knitty Magazine. These were very fun to make and fit great!

My quilt, “The Price of Democracy”, a statement about how some people used the price of eggs as an excuse not to vote for a woman president in the year 2024, knowing that the other choice would try to destroy democracy here and abroad.

I've been thinking about this cast on since October, at least 🍊 I held off on casting on to try and get some WIPs done, but if I want to wear this before summer, I need to start knitting now! 🧶

2. There was 1 WIP I didn't knit on, but progress was made on most
3. The sock was finished! 🧦
4. No yarn was purchased! 🧶🙌

Stripes! I dont knit much in stripes, but I do love a self striping sock 🧦 Getting the pattern to match up perfectly is sooooo satisfying 😩🧶 #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting

2025 is for vests!
This year, the schemer slipover by @apellaknits.bsky.social is the top of my queue. I'm being daring and knitting in a new colour for me and my wardrobe- bright orange! 🍊 🧶
First though, gotta get through Finish It February 🥲
