#ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 Welcome back @livrunsfast.bsky.social ! Purple is the theme, and I have lots of purple - my favourite colour! For starters, there are some fraternal striped socks in a miniskein set by A Little Bit Sheepish; a 2-tone version of my Trellis Tam in Jamieson's Spindrift; & a shawl!

vanilla toe-up socks in a miniskein set of purples from A Little Bit Sheepish. Yarn is Bluefaced Leicester I believe, and is lovely to work with and wear. I keep these for best winter socks.

Trellis Tam, by me, Granary Knits, worked in Jamieson's Spindrift Lavender and Purple. I made this version to match my winter coat!

A purple shawl displayed on a dress mocel standing in front of a stone wall and a wooden garden gate. It has a geometric lace pattern overall, and is large because it is three triangles forming 3 sides of a square. A big hug of a shawl, knit in Doulton Flock Border Leicester 4ply in Hawnby Hill, a rich royal purple.

Got distracted reading an article while winding a miniskein which resulted in not noticing the miniskein was tangling itself into the winder… I salvaged like half of it and that’ll have to do

I pulled out a project I started in 2017, the Supernatural miniskein blanket of doom. 48 mini skeins, 4 for each season up to season 12, each themed on an episode. I’m on season 8, Hunter Heroici. Solid rows are KP stroll colors.
