I haven't blocked it. I haven't woven in the ends. But I still think it's lovely. Criss-Crosshatch Cowl by @mashkanna, free on @hi.ravelry. #rosekimknits

Yesterday's Helix hat. Ultra Alpaca, Cascade 220 and variegated angora. I love how much one variegated strand livens up the colors. #rosekimknits #helixstripes4eva #helixstripes

Another Helix hat. This time two colors of Cascade 220 and a variegated angora blend for color and fluff! #helixstripes4eva #helixstripes #rosekimknits

I started this completely random scrap quilt this spring (summer?). I stopped working on it at some point believing that I didn't have enough even for a throw. Tonight I moved all the dining room furniture to pin it up (randomly) to look at it and it's much bigger than I thought. This is about 6' square. I have many more bits I can add to it. Now I have to puzzle out how to join it all together. I will have to give this chaos some order and make strips to join for the final quilt. It makes me a little sad. I'm enjoying the randomness and chaos. #scrapvortex #scrapvortexquilt #rosekimknits

Time to sort all my new yarn and enter it into @hi.ravelry. I think this is a lot less than I brought home last year. #fortwordenknittersretreat #rosekimknits

Another day at #fortwordenknittersretreat, another @strickmich shawl. (Yesterday was Baltic Summer, today is Rockin' Rows.) #rosekimknits

Finishing a handspun project with just this tiny bit of yarn leftover is the best feeling. #rosekimknits

This will be my last handspun Helix for a while because I've used all my small and partial skeins of handspun! Amazing. #helixstripes4eva #rosekimknits

Another FO from earlier this week. A "scowl" (shawl/cowl) improvised using the Ripple and Leaf charts from @eaclarkdesigns Knitting Lace Triangles. Yarn is Targhee /alpaca from @abundantearthfiber spun into a super soft and warm 2-ply bulky. #singleskeinseptember2018 #rosekimknits

Handspun Helix hats are my favorite thing. #rosekimknits #singleskeinseptember2018 #helixstripes4eva

Another handspun #singleskeinseptember2018 hat fresh of the needles! This is You Betcha!, free on Ravelry. The yarn is one ply of all my random earth-toned odds and ends that I carded together and spun loosely and the other ply is some kind of wool that had been sitting on a bobbin for the better part of a decade. #rosekimknits

Next handspun #singleskeinseptember2018. This is Ice River be @curioushandmade. The yarn was spun with a merino/alpaca/BFL bamboo batt from Taylored Fibers. #rosekimknits

Finally a handspun #singleskeinseptember2018 hat I'm happy with. Pattern is Latu, free on Ravelry. Handspun is from Sporfarm Shetland/Merino fiber that I bought in 2010 at OFFF. #rosekimknits

After two less than great results I'm rethinking my handspun #singleskeinseptember2018 plans. Also I'm *gasp* swatching. #rosekimknits

via Instagram https://ift.tt/2Q3DlCm

My first finished handspun hat for #singleskeinseptember2018 has some *cough* issues. The brim flares badly and I will probably rip it out and reknit it more tightly. The hat is very short because I was running low on yarn (this seems to happen with all my handspun projects). Then I did run out of yarn and used another random bit of handspun I had hanging around. Not the best start. #rosekimknits

Losing at handspun yarn chicken. Time to wing it! #rosekimknits

I had to make a last-minute two-night to NY this week. I decided to bring my Baltic Summer by @strickmich. I started it at Madrona in February and haven't touched it since. I really only worked on it on the plane but I'm one third of the way through it. The yarn is STR that I dyed myself at the @bluemoonfiberarts dye day last summer. I love this skein and am constantly watching the colors mingle and change. #rosekimknits

I'm teaching a class at the @seattleknittersguild next week on stashbusting and my Helix hat. I cast one on to demo in class. Then I couldn't stop knitting it. So now I have to cast on another one and *not* knit it. Wish me luck. #rosekimknits #helixstripes4eva #helixstripes #stashbusting

Knitting local. This is Speckles! yarn dyed by @localcolorfiberstudio and spun by @abundantearthfiber sitting on my @hansencraftsminispinner yarn ball holder. The yarn is amazing. Soft, great stitch definition, round and bouncy. The yarn holder is also wonderful. Beautifully designed and effortless to spin. #rosekimknits

Knit up this Nicoletta cowl by @yuki.nimara in very old Noro stash. It's one full skein of Cash Iroha and most of a skein of Kureyon. Super fast and easy! #rosekimknits

And after I finish a project and don't know what to make next I knit a Helix! #helixstripes #helixstripes4eva #rosekimknits

I wanted to use up every bit of this skein of handspun. Victory! Wolkig by @strickmich #rosekimknits

Way back in 2013 there was a mystery knitalong for a stuffed animal. I’m not much for mystery-alongs but it only called for 100 yards of worsted weight yarn so I thought, “Why not?” I got out an old, old, OLD skein of Rowan All Seasons Cotton in gray because lots of animals are gray and the materials list didn’t give any guidance on color. I knit along and then we got to the final clue and I found out our “animal” was a gingerbread man! I had knit a slate gray gingerbread man. I set it aside for a very long long time. Years later I decided to finish it off as a mouse. I added ears and a tail. Then I needed to embroider the face. I hate doing this because I am really bad at it. Like, comically bad. But today I decided “Why not?” and just finished the damn thing. So here is my wonky-faced mouse, four and a half years in the making. #rosekimknits

I have been feeling an intense fiber stashbusting urge lately. Today I carded several tiny bits together into a pale green cloud for spinning. #spin15aday #spin15aday2018 #rosekimknits

Yesterday I got a spinning idea I had to do that instant. I spun up some fuchsia Romney that was literally the first fiber I ever bought online (which lead to me not ordering fiber online again). I carded it a week ago and then I spun it wooolen to make it as soft and puffy as I could. Then I plied it with since Cotswold lamb singles that I dyed, combed and spun years ago. This photo doesn't show the true colors and is before washing. It feels good to use up old stuff! #rosekimknits #spin15aday #spin15aday2018 #spin15aday2018challenge
