Finally my Garfunkel in daylight. Knit with Manos Silk Blend that was nature-dyed at Earthues for a class many years ago. #rosekimknits

It's Rose-Kim Knits Hat Gifting Day 2017! #rosekimknits

Today at work we had a client with a dog wearing a knitted cowl. I joked with a coworker that I should knit one for her dog too and...well... George was pressed into modeling it. I don't think he really feels the need to accessorize. #rosekimknits

Yesterday's hat is a child-sized colorblock affair that used every last bit of three oddballs. #rosekimknits

Today's hat is simple, knit in blurple mystery wool. #rosekimknits

Yesterday's hat was not a Helix because I knit most of it Sunday night at the movies. #rosekimknits

Spent time this morning knitting with friends and realized I haven't shared this WIP at all. Braidsmaid by @strickmich, knit in yarn I dyed a few months ago. #rosekimknits

via Instagram http://ift.tt/2yOaHvc

Two hats knit as one long tube with ribbing at either end then clipped in half (only snipping one leg of one stitch) and the crown decreases added. This wasn't the plan but I was knitting at the movies and made it much too long. Instead of ripping I decided to problem solve! #rosekimknits

How I Roll

Pattern: How I Roll
Needles: US1 Addi Turbos
Yarns: Fiber Optic Foot Notes, Knitted Wit Gumball, Koigu KPM, Miss Babs Yummy 2-Ply, Dream in Color Smooshy
Notes: Another stripey stashbuster! I have to admit I only kind of glanced at the pattern. I don't think I handled my color blending quite as layed out in the pattern. I also just grabbed leftovers I wanted to use up and didn't plan out a smooth blend. They are cute and stripey nonetheless and the first socks I've finished in years.

Find Your Fade

Pattern: Find Your Fade

Needles: US4 Addi Turbos

Yarn: All of it! Seriously, I used lots and lots of scraps and mini skeins from Sanguine Gryphon, Mocha's Fiber Farm, Sophie's Toes, Hazel Knits, Koigu, Blue Moon Fiber Arts and Shibui. 1725 yards in total.

Notes: I was a bad pattern follower for this one. Because I was using small bits of yarn I kept running out when I tried to knit the lace sections (you're supposed to blend shades in the garter sections) so I kept having to cut my lace sections short and eventually I just gave up on the lace altogether and knit, knit, knit, knit, knit my way to the end. This took forever. It's nine feet long. I love a good stashbuster but, oh man, did this try my patience.

My ridiculously endless Find Your Fade is of the needles with two yards of my final color left. This is going to be pretty much a blanket not a shawl. #rosekimknits

I couldn't deal with that wishy-washy pile of blah from yesterday so it went back in the dyepot. #rosekimknits #handdyedyarn #handdyeing

Rooting through my yarn stash to find something for my next project. These are three different yarns. Don't judge me. I like what I like! #rosekimknits

@weskimcom helped me photograph my mitts when I got home from work. I call this pose, "Welcome to Sephora. My name is Jessica." Mitts are Circle Mitts by Sybil R in lots of bits of luxury #handspun yarn. #Ravelry #rosekimknits

I never posted a photo of my finished Rosenkranz by @katta_rinah. I used Malabrigo Rios in Coco and Water Green. #rosekimknits #Ravelry

It's not blocked yet but you get the idea. T. J.'s Gone Fishing, free on #Ravelry, in some leftover Skinny Bugga and @hazelknits Artisan. #rosekimknits

Another#malabrigomarch2017 project I've been working on. Spiral Euphoria, a mobius cowl in one skein of Rios. #rosekimknits #malmarch2017

I had a rocky start complete with dropping a big section of knitting off the needles and losing many stitches. So today I ripped out and restarted my Rosecranz in Malabrigo Rios. Much better. #malabrigomarch2017 #rosekimknits #malmarch2017

My Deco Fans Hat is complete. I had stated this in some totally inappropriate handspun then ripped it out. This is Malabrigo Mecha, the yarn called for in the pattern. I rarely go out and get the exact yarn for a pattern but in this case it was worth it. #rosekimknits

Nearly ten years ago I knit a stuffed Phanpy for Younger Son. Today I made him walk around the block with me to catch a Phanpy. How the tables have turned. #phanpy #pokemongo #knitting #knittersofinstagram #rosekimknits

A few skeins I picked up at #madronafiberarts. @sinceresheep Cormo gradient. Fly Design Merino/Cashmere. @localcolorfiberstudio Whole Flock (nature-dyed Finn worth angora). #rosekimknits

Thursday Is for What the Hell Is This?

Remember, knitters...

check your gauge.

I'm trying to use less of my leftover sock yarn scraps by making a long Helix tube-style infinity cowl. I'm about a third done but I still have a lot of scraps left! #rosekimknits #helixstripes #helixstripes4eva

And what to do with the leftover bits of Kate's handspun? A Helix hat, of course. #rosekimknits #helixstripes4eva #helixstripes

Thursday Is for What the Hell Is This?

I haven't posted a TIFWTHIS in a while. I guess I was in a bit of a rut. But then a yarn company posted a pattern for their new yarn called WOW! And all I can say is, "Wow, indeed."

This little number is knit on size 50 needles. I assume the model is posing like this so she can prop up her head with her arms because...damn. That's a Big Ass hat.

The same company came out with another pattern for those who find this one too subtle, too tasteful, too small.

Wow. Wow, indeed.

A plain hat knit from a friend's old handspun. Again, not my usual colors. #rosekimknits
