Keeping Track

I know it’s 3 months in to 2026, but I’ve finally got all my knitting plans laid out.

My goal is to knit one thing per month, and so far I’m on track.

Finished Objects

Sunset Cardigan (January project)

Rumble Raglan (February project)

Knit a longer body for my Mika tee (March project). No pic bc it was just adjusting an already finished object.

Beltane Sweater (March project)

Current WIPs

~This is for everything that I’m either actively knitting, or has already been knit and just needs modifications. I’m a monogamous knitter, so the star is my active WIP.

⚝ Helix Crop Top // I have this lovely green cashmere blend I want to use for this one.

New sleeves for my Love Magick sweater: I found the huge bell sleeves to be impractical, and they pulled the sweater out of shape. So I’m planning on knitting fitted sleeves with a slight flare at the end that can cover my hands maybe?

1 (one) Ravenlight Mitt: I lost one last year ;-; so I’m just reknitting it.

To Knit, Have Yarn

~In no particular order…

Umbra Top // I have this lion brand black bamboo cone yarn, although I may end up using a different one. The pattern calls for yarn with a stretch to it, and bamboo usually doesn’t stretch too much. I actually planned to use this bamboo yarn for so many projects right now that it will work itself out eventually lol.

Sara Pullover // Also planned for the LB bamboo cone yarn, although I also like the idea of doing this in a fun color, or maybe a grey or something.

Sporti Shrug & Tank // planned for the LB cone yarn. Can you tell I was inspired by transitional seasons? lol.

Camisole No 5 // I have ritual dye’s yarn in the colorway “loam” for this. I may not end up knitting it just bc I can’t tell if I can de-feminize it lol (I prefer androgynous-femininity personally).

Summer Secret Crop // I have ritual dye’s yarn in the colorway “sugar maple” for this project.

Luna Tee // Planning on doing long or 3/4 sleeves. I have boss kitty yarn in the colorway “clockwork” for this one.

No pattern for this one: I started a free-hand crochet overskirt.

Planned Knits, Need Yarn

I’m currently on a yarn buying sabbatical, but I like to dream about new projects anyway

Cargill Sweater // I’ve been struggling to figure out what color I want to knit this in. Mauve? Gray? I think it will come to me when I find the yarn.

Soufflé // Planinng on doing 3/4 sleeves, black baby alpaca yarn?

Diaphanous Raglan // I’ve knit this before, but unfortunately it got ruined. Again, not sure what color I want to use yet. Maybe a dark red?

Curio Collar // Planning on a purplish-grey with a black picot edge detail.

Hardly Harness // Want to make this for pride. “Dyke” in pink letters and maybe a gray background? This is on hiatus bc I’m kind of questioning if I’m even allo-anything any more.

Gelly Cube Cardigan // Another planned project where idk what color I want to make it. Right now the current thought is a sparkly black, but kind of like the idea of a fluorescent lime green with purple details… We’ll see what yarn comes my way for this one.

Banana Socks // I want to knit these in premier yarn’s fruits sock in the banana color way. Just think it would be cute.

Aerie Cardigan // planning on doing this with black mohair held with charcoal.

Scrap Projects

Ongoing projects as I collect scraps from all of my other projects.

Anthology Throw

Musselburgh

Helix crop finished!

Beltane sweater all done! Technically reversible? The cast on amount was tiiiiny, so I knit flat until I had 80st, then joined to work in the round. It shrank a bit more in the dryer than I had intended (forgot about it 😥) but it’s super wash wool, so getting it wet again should help stretch it out a bit.

Also added bust shaping. Also also added a purl at the side seams to give it a little structure.

Rumble raglan is all done!

All ends finally woven in 😩😩😩 I usually weave in as I go, but I was having such a hard time with tension that I decided- for better or worse- that I needed to just do it all at the end.

Finally got this cardigan all re-knit! I felted the last one 😭 sized up to a size 3 and I actually like it better than last time.

I keep organized notes on my ravelry page- same u/n- for those interested, although this project was pretty straightforward. No mods needed

Don’t forget my siiiiick fuckin buttons;

New year, new hat.

Pattern is a free pattern: Jason’s Cashmere Hat. Yarn is Plymouth’s yarn Galway in black and an unknown alpaca mohair held together. Only mod I made was one less cable in the main section and only doing ssk’s in the final two decreases rows so all the stitches would lean the same way. It’s still big on me 😥 me and my tiny head. But I think after a wash and maybe doing a quick blast in the dryer, it may condense a bit. Either way, it will keep me warm this winter.

Finished my love magick sweater last week! It’s hard to get good pics with these crazy sleeves lol

as much as I love the drama, I think I might go back and knit the sleeves to be more fitted after the Halloween season. Right now, it’s a rather impractical although very pretty knit. But I did run out of yarn while knitting the body, and I think I also want a longer lace section for the body as well as a stretchier bind off; as of right now, the lace section there is a bit indistinct.

Finished my Mika Tee! If this looks familiar, it’s bc I have knit it before, I just don’t like the color of the other one any more. Even back then, I knew I wanted this top in black.

Yarn: Madeline Tosh Lunar. This is technically a lace weight yarn, but I was able to get gauge. The only thing that is different vs the fingering weight version is that this top is a bit more airy and requires a camisole underneath. But this yarn is so, so soft and luxurious- such a lovely drape, too!

Pattern: nice and clear. I could recommend this for a confident beginner who has experience with short rows, casting on mid-project, and increases/decreases.
