I teach knitting and crochet and dye yarn in my spare time. Mstgt91 on Ravelry.

My hand holding the knitting needles of my current project: a colorwork sweater with a black background and fiery yellow-to-orange-to-red bird wings; the colorwork yoke is about half finished.
A view of my knitting wip on my lap. I’m wearing business professional and am all dressed up for the day to come. The ongoing knitting project is my purple colorwork sweater which still needs sleeves but is nearly done with the knitting of the body.
A half-knit purple sweater work-in-progress is laid out on a wooden table. The sweater has a colorwork design in lighter purple on the yoke. Small neon green silicone cords hold the sleeve stitches which are set aside for later while the rest of the body stitches are on knitting needles. The sweater is about a third of the way done.
A light-on-dark purple colorwork sweater yoke lays on my legs.
I’m holding a knitting needle attached to a blue brioche scarf wip. On the needle tip is a needle stopper which prevents the knitting from slipping off while stored. The stopper has cartoon-style line drawn artwork of a grey tabby cat sleeping on a stack of blue and green books.

A black and white photo of a knitted cowl laid out flat. The cowl is constructed of all-over cabled braids and one cable has an obvious mistake in it which I missed until I took this photo.
I’m holding a partially-knit-up hat WIP which has a tubular cast-on, a few inches of ribbing, and part of the cabled body worked up. It is grey and is knit in a rustic-feeling two-ply-construction highland wool yarn.
My finished Chinook Winds sweater is on the blocking mats next to a hair comb. The sweater is beige colored and is composed of lace-knit fabric with bobbles and fringe. (The hair comb is nearby because it is used to comb out the fringe.)
A purple-blue sweater work-in-progress knitting project is made out of silk-blend yarn is in the foreground, and a small wooden board of fruits and veggies and crackers and cheese is in the background.
Bronze stitch markers are hooked onto a sweater work-in-progress. The knit fabric is purple-blue.
A purple sweater knitting project sits on my lap along with its yellow knitting bag which is holding the yarn. I was working on knitting the body but stopped mid-row to snap a photo.
A teal blue-green brioche scarf is on my knitting needles held in my hand. A few balls of its yarn rest on the table in my work’s break room, which I am sitting at.
A small square dish contains bright pink seed beads which will be added in as an afterthought to a shawl work-in-progress. The shawl is not even an inch long yet but is already curling up around the knitting needle. The yarn is a bright fuchsia yarn composed of llama fiber and is on an knitting needle with a spiral shaped needle tip.
A light taupe-grey sweater sits on my lap. It has fringe all over on it which is mostly wild, uneven, and untrimmed. I have a small black pair of embroidery scissors in my hand which I have been using to trim the fringe, taming it so it will eventually look nice.
A knitting project work-in-progress is shown with three balls of yarn attached to it. The project is about six inches of a one-color brioche scarf knit in the teal colorway I dyed earlier last week.
Dark teal yarn on a knitting needle, worked up a few rows beyond a tidy tubular cast-on. The beginnings of a scarf!
A purple knitting project work-in-progress is resting on my legs, which are propped up on my suitcase - I’m knitting while waiting on a flight. The project is knitted lace and will eventually become a shawl.
