One more finished object for the #LightItUpMAL 💜

I am #knitting a pair of socks every month this year. I got this one off the needles just in time!

I knitted a quick project that's been in my knitting queue forever, to celebrate the start of summer!

This is the Victorian Lace Collar by Kristen Orme 💜 #knitsky #knit #lightitupMAL

#lightitupMAL

es geht langsam voran...
bis wann muss es eigentlich fertig werden?

Week 94 of #ShowMeYourKnits; WIPs*, TBFs** & even the Naughty Basket

WIP-Edition:
Ich hab nichts, was kurzfristig fertig werden könnte und mein Naughty Basket hat Inhalte, die möglicherweise den Titel "TBF" bekommen 🙄🙃 - daher davon keine Fotos 🫢

Ich möchte auch "etwas erleuchten" 😂🙃

Es wird ein Slipover - Grundlage ist der "Field Slipover" aber ich werde die "Grannen" vermutlich gegen glatt rechts mit einem Frontpanel des Musters vom "Love Me Knot" Scarfs ersetzen.

My #lightitupMAL project is done - it’s the crayfish hot pad from Nordic Knits by Sue Flanders, Janine Kosel and Helene Magnusson (I know, I thought they were lobsters when I first saw the pattern!). Really fun pattern, thanks to @samantha-west.bsky.social for organising this MAL🦞🧶🦞

#ShowMeYourKnits this week is work in progress - I’m still working on this 🦞knit from the Nordic Knits book, will hopefully finish it over the next week #lightitupMAL 🧶

Finally got going with my #lightitupMAL project and it’s #wipwednesday so here’s a sneak peek of what I’m making. 🧶

I’ve not started my #lightitupMAL project yet, as I’ve been trying to catch up with the Steady Thread sew-along - this is the progress so far, but I’m out of black thread so it’s going to one side for a while! #embroidery

I’m going to try to make something fun for the #lightitupMAL but I need to make a bit more progress on another project first! Picked up this knitting book for £4, plus some cotton from the local wool shop, hoping to make a start next week

Thank you so much @samantha-west.bsky.social for the generous gift for the #lightitupmal.
I chose the UFO cowl. It looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun to knit and to wear. #knitsky

Did you count this as my entry for the lightitupmal? I will keep using that tag for the month of May for my FO’s but I know you said only one project counts. This was the first FO.

Do I have WIPs to work on? Yes. Did I cast on something new? Also yes.
I at least got to the part where I join for knitting in the round. #knitsky #lightitupmal

Finished! They are still wet from blocking but wanted to snap a quick pic.

My eye is still healing but I can see better today so going to try to work on my current WIP. This brings me so much joy because I had to recently take a week off knitting. My fingers are itching to cast on all the things but I want to finish these first. #knitsky #wipwednesday #lightitupmal

Things are progressing. I'm currently working on the looong bottom band of my Mrs.Garter cardi.

Decision fatigue about the #LightItUpMAL is probably the universe telling me to finish my #MrsGarter before it gets too hot to work on it.

🧶 One done and the second mitt is cast on. I'm so happy I chose this beautiful mitten as my #LightItUpMAL project. The pattern is by our awesome host @samantha-west.bsky.social and I can highly recommend it. The instructions are clear and the colourwork has a lovely rhythm to it.

Look at me go. A cuff has appeared.
Now to start the fun part.
Colourwork!

This is great timing as I had just purchased one of @samantha-west.bsky.social patterns a few days ago. I dug through my stash and I think these will do nicely for the Geometric Sunflower Mitts.

Big THANK YOU to @samantha-west.bsky.social for hosting the #lightitupMAL this month! It was excellent motivation to make my Bubbalub, and I loved seeing the projects that brought others joy.

Also thank you for the bonus prize of a pattern! 🧶 I chose pansies.
