Day 26 of #OctoberKnits
Today was cool and gray, so perfect handknit hat weather
I really like this one: textured, swampy green, just a little slouch. It was a PITA to knit because of all the mini cables, but I love the result

Day 24 of #OctoberKnits
Today’s handknit is perfect for a chilly ferry ride. These scrunchie arm warmers are easy to pull over my fingers if they get too cold (and they will because I am a girl)
Yarn: Silk Cloud in Pollen and Tar
Pattern: Reversible Arm Warmers by Churchmouse

Time to wear my most fall-coded socks! These are Hedgerow socks knit in my favorite yarn, Malabrigo Sock (well maybe not my FAVORITE favorite, but at least top 3 favorite yarns)

No middle-aged obscurity for me today!
I’m running errands in this poke-you-in-the-eye peridot handknit sweater with matching shoes
Prepare to be dazzled, people of Costco!

Day 20 of #OctoberKnits
Today’s handknit is an open cardigan knit in Shibui Pebble, a lightweight blend of silk, merino, and cashmere. It feels like wearing a floaty warm hug.
I’ve got another sweater’s worth of this yarn in stash in blue. Hmm, maybe this will be my next knit…
Cheers Witches!

Day 19 of #OctoberKnits
I was in a hurry today so this is a repeat knit, my favorite black beret. Honestly I wear this more than anything else I have knit, so I think it’s valid to post it twice this month
I remember wearing this jacket when I caucused for Bernie in 2016. I’ve had it forever!

Day 18 of #OctoberKnits. The temp is supposed to stay in the 50s, so I can break out the wool at last!
#showmeyourknits theme is cables, so here’s today’s handknit, a Simple Straight Skirt modified with a double cable down the front
I will be wearing this with black leggings and plaid Mary Janes

Day 15 of #OctoberKnits. The halfway mark! This has been a fun exercise. And there are still SO MANY handknits to choose from that I haven’t worn yet
Today was a kitten-soft cashmere/silk vest. The yarn was such a joy to knit with

Day 13 of #OctoberKnits, where I challenge myself to wear a different handknit every day of the month.
This kicky knit skirt was an instant obsession when I saw it in Knitty 16 years ago. I bought the yarn (Cascade 220) and cast on right away.
I like to wear it with leggings and velvet Doc Martens

Today is a knitting project bag that I took with me to get my flu shot
(Ok, technically, today’s isn’t *worn* so much as used. But I will allow it. My game, my rules)

Day 11 of #OctoberKnits. Today I wore my Vote shirt and my blue Studio beret. I was visiting my mom, and after multiple not-so-subtle hints from her, I gave it to her. She was delighted! So now I need to get some more yarn to knit another
Anyway, my ballot should get here soon. Can’t wait to vote

Got busy yesterday and forgot to post day 9 of #OctoberKnits
Fall is time for knit skirts! This one is knit in raw worsted weight silk from Shibui. I knit it about 12 years ago and it still looks great. I like to wear it with an oversized sweater, black leggings, and kick ass shoes

Yesterday was my oldest knitted garment, today is my newest.
Pattern: Colette beret in a yummy heathered baby alpaca yarn.
I love berets, especially when my hair is this length. This will not be the only beret that I will wear this month for #OctoberKnits

For day 7 of #OctoberKnits, I wore my oldest existing handknit. I knit these pre-Ravelry, so that makes these socks old enough to vote.
These were my first pair of handknit socks, and I remember getting out my Vogue Knitting book to figure out what an SSK was (no YouTube!)

Day 6 of #OctoberKnits. If this knit top looks a little familiar, it’s because I posted my red one a few days ago. It’s a perfect pattern for warm fall days. Black is so hard to photograph, this looks like a hostage photo
