The first FO for the #lightitupMAL 💜 isn't this hat gorgeous!!
Today’s contribution to the #lightitupMAL is a hat I just finished. I share a desk with a lovely colleague who is retiring at the end of the month. She’s always asking what I’m knitting and so when she requested a hat I of course had to oblige.
Yarn and pattern details in the comments.

Ah! Now here's the incentive I needed to try and finish this flight of fancy. I started it just to please myself because I adore knitting little horses and I had bits of yarn in various colours left. The recent fine weather put it on the back burner the last couple weeks.

I love it when a MAL like #lightitupMAL encourages me to finish something. This little Gargoyle might be a little wonky and his little teeth are different, but he's also really adorable! I hope he'll get adopted next week at Fantasy Basel!

Another gorgeous Finished object for the #lightitupMAL - it's been amazing seeing this grow from the start to the finish! 😁
I can't wait for #FOFriday to show you all! This is my finished handspun indie dyed Linen Stitch Cowl for #LightItUpMAL 🧶 and I am so pleased with it. 😊 I reckon I could wear it inside out, too, as the bobbly surface on the "wrong side" looks interesting, like boucle😁 (see third photo).

She's growing fast! Cables are very addictive imo. Think I'm going to need a companion project 😄. I've a new grand nephew due to arrive in July, so baby something? Suggestions welcome #WIPS #knitting #LightitupMAL

I can’t resist a good -Along and the amazing @samantha-west.bsky.social has created an inspiring #LightitupMAL encouraging everyone to create something that brings them joy 🥰
I’m currently loving watching my Persian Tiles blanket come together. Let’s see if I can finish by the end of the month 🧶

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

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🦞🧶🦞

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

Yellow week at #showmeyourknits I'm working on my yellow dress for #lightitupMAL but I'm a little behind. I wasn't happy with the increases and frogged it all the way to the armholes. Well, maybe it will be done in time for Midsummer.
