A tentacle topped cake on a blue plate on a wooden tabletop from a slightly elevated view. The cake is chocolate bundt, shaped like cathedral windows. Dusted in powdered sugar, iced with double whip cream frosting (heavy cream and cream cheese) oozing out over the center dusted with blue sugar. Shaped green tentacles protrude as is bursting forth from the top. My frosting was a bit peaky and resisted oozing, but still pleased.

Close up on an angle, of texture in a hand knit slipped stitch swatch as useful item (small cowl) experiment . The main color is a light worsted in pale pink, which forms a puffy almost hex shape grid that mimics a separate layer over sunken lozenge shapes of 3layers of 2 row stockinette striping in the same pink plus a multi color chunky. The contrast color variegated chunky is significantly heavier than the main color pale pink yarn, this helps push the striped lozenge shapes to the back

a folded hand knit cowl in peachy tones lies at an angle, flat on a worn-paint on wood plank background. It is an overall peachy color made of blended tones from orange to pink. The texture is, to me reminiscent of pineapples - a tiled geometric placement of triangles of ridge knit and purl with triangles of stockinette that have flared (spiky [pineapple leaf-ish) edges arcing into the ridge lines. The pattern is Pineapple Ring by Lavish Craft https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/pineapple-ring-3 The yarn is Malabrigo Rios in Peachy
2 curved pieces of knitting lying flat on a pale patterned rug. The project is for a vortex shaped shawl with strategically arranged holes of ascending sizes that spread out larger toward the lower arc of the curvature. The piece at lower left is the learning swatch, in a rainbow striping yarn which has the cord pulled out of it. The upper is the real project in deep burgundy red starting to blend and darken into a purple. There is a cake of gradient yarn attached to the project sitting on a small white zipper bag and the circular needle has a blue and white barrel style row counter attached.

Hand knit piece in bright pink orange hand dyed color yarn. A knit and purl pattern has added interest with strategically placed 'missed' purl ribs laid out in alternating sets. The missed ribs create deep divot dents in the fabric that cause the ribs to appear bent and cable-like. #knitsky
