It’s time for more baby knits! This time a #goldenpear hat and mitts in @debbieblissknits Baby Cashmerino 😍 I love how these came out - I’m making some little booties to match too. I hope the mom and dad-to-be enjoy them when I gift them this weekend at the baby shower! 👶🏻 What are your favorite baby knits?

And punkins done! I made two bigger ones in @lionbrandyarn Wool-Ease Thick and Quick to go with the little ones I made with scraps of @knit_picks and @brooklyntweed yarns. Excellent stashbusting! Thanks @designsbyjeremyb for the great pattern 🎃 I hope you enjoy them, Rach and Megan! Happy autumn! 🍂

Happy October! Taking a mini-break from designing to knit some lil’ punkins! 🎃 I can’t get over how cute these little stashbusters are! Are there any fall-inspired knits on your needles? 🍂

All this surgery recovery has given me so much time to make progress on my design WIPs! 🧶 I finished Sock #1 of my @lainit ‘s Daughter of Smoke and Bone-inspired sock design in @selenamiskin ‘s amazing Wayfarer yarn Prague colorway. I love how it came out and can’t wait to finish the second sock 🧦 I could really use some help naming this design though. It’s inspired by the rather impactful events that go down on Prague’s Charles’ Bridge in Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I’m thinking something like: 🧶Smoke and Bone and Bridges 🧶On the Charles Bridge 🧶Fantasia Prague (from the quote “The streets of Prague were a fantasia...”) 🧶Or something else? Any votes or ideas?

After SO much frogging, Nott’s cowl at last has a hood! I was planning on knitting an edging for the hood but I’m kind of liking the rolling look for our roguish goblin Nott. 🧶What do you think? Pick up an edging or leave as is?

I’ve been resting and recovering these last few days - healing well as I get the pain under control 🤕 All this downtime has given me lots of time to knit 🎉 Finally! On particularly painful days, I’ve been working on an Easy shawl by @strickmich in @donerovingyarns Frolicking Feet Transitions in the Arcadia colorway. Loving the colors! And you can’t beat Martina Behm for brilliant pattern simplicity. When my brain is a bit clearer, I’ve been working on my hooded cowl design for Nott the Brave of @critical_role ! Getting ready to bind off the cowl part and start on the hood 🎉This @criticalsheep yarn is not only gorgeously colored, it’s so squishy and soft too! Can’t wait to get this knit up 🧶
