#MiracleSpiritSweater in worsted weight is now available! I finished this secret test knit back in October for @fireflyknitting and completely forgot about it. I thought I'd already shared a photo, but I actually had to download it in order to share! Anyway, click on over to @fireflyknitting to get a link to get yours. A most enjoyable knit! #knitting #knittingofig #knittingofinstagram #instaknitting #knittersofig #knittersofinstagram #instaknitters #makersgonnamake #ILoveKnitting #AddictedToKnitting #testknit #testknitting https://instagr.am/p/CebY6TNMgRj/

#swatching All four of my swatches for the #ZalktisPullover by @zaneteknits Final decision: @malabrigoyarn #Arroyo in Prussian Blue and @bonayarns fingering in You Shall Go to the Ball #knitting #knittingofig #knittingofinstagram #instaknitting #knittersofig #knittersofinstagram #instaknitters #makersgonnamake #ILoveKnitting #AddictedToKnitting #testknit #testknitting #swatch https://instagr.am/p/CeWJg5XMJPx/

This is why I wind my skeins twice. The second cake is bigger because it is wound looser, and is less likely to produce yarn vomit. Just sayin' #yarnporn #yarn @labienaimee #labienaimee #labienaimeebfltoughsock #MissMayMKAL https://instagr.am/p/CeUJzccLSMS/

It's a bit difficult to knit while your cat is asleep hugging one of your hands to her tummy... #SukiTheSoppyTortie #itsacatslife #catstagram #catsofinstagram #catsofig #we_love_cats https://instagr.am/p/CeQ-Qq0MZW7/

I cast on some vanilla Shorties for hubby last night - a quick knit to treat him before I start on the test knit that's staring me down and begging to be cast on #summersockcamp2022 #sockknitting #iloveknittingsocks #ilovehandknitsocks #knitting #knittingofig #knittingofinstagram #instaknitting #knittersofig #knittersofinstagram #instaknitters #makersgonnamake #ILoveKnitting #AddictedToKnitting https://instagr.am/p/CeMj4yQLAdU/

My Shifty sweater is finished and on the blocking mats, but here's a quick pre-block photo I used @spincycle_yarns #DyedInTheWool from @ayarnstory #DRKMarchToMayKAL22 #knitting #knittingofig #knittingofinstagram #instaknitting #knittersofig #knittersofinstagram #instaknitters #makersgonnamake #ILoveKnitting #AddictedToKnitting #ShiftySweater https://instagr.am/p/CeKmznlKnZ6/

Looking forward to #MissMayMKAL by @curioushandmade I'll be using #bfltoughsock by @labienaimee from @looplondonloves in these four scrummy shades. I might have to break my knitting monogamy for this... #knitting #knittingofig #knittingofinstagram #instaknitting #knittersofig #knittersofinstagram #instaknitters #makersgonnamake #ILoveKnitting #AddictedToKnitting https://instagr.am/p/CeHAGHcrJdP/

I had the pleasure of test knitting this beautiful #SandaigCami for @littletheorem last month and it is the only reason I'm looking forward to warmer weather (which ordinarily I hate, fyi) Click on over to @littletheorem's profile for details and to get your copy of the pattern. I loved every stitch and it was so quick to knit!

Last night I knit a swatch for a new test knit (#ZalktisPullover for @zaneteknits) and the blue bled a bit, so I washed it. It's now hanging over a giant saucepan in the kitchen. It's raining, so I can't put it outside and I don't really want a wet floor... #knitting #knittingofig #knittingofinstagram #instaknitting #knittersofig #knittersofinstagram #instaknitters #makersgonnamake #ILoveKnitting #AddictedToKnitting #testknit #testknitting https://instagr.am/p/Cd_IMTZs-aB/

I decided to do the sleeves before continuing with the body to make sure I have enough yarn to make it a bit longer.

The results of my shenanigans with dye pots the other day: dusky pink Hillesvåg Vilje. Now I'm all set to start knitting my Anemone kofte! #yarn #yarnporn #yarndying #yarndyingexperiments https://instagr.am/p/CdyZ1y5r9i6/
