I sat down at my sewing machine for the first time in weeks this afternoon and tackled the collar stand on this #cameronbuttonup , a (now belated) anniversary present for @nickvonderby . I suppose the proof will be in the wearing (will it fit ?!) but I’m so pleased with how it turned out … so many layers and raw edges, everything looking untidy and now suddenly it looks like a shirt! Just hemming the sleeves and body, then (gulp) buttonholes to go (related question: where did the buttons I ordered for this go 🧐)
#makesocksmendsocks2022 May: While the #GinnelSocks are being test knit, I’ve been working on some other footie sock samples. Some of the same cool features as the Ginnel Socks .. nice low fit and a gently raised cuff to prevent slips, but without any colorwork or stripes to contend with … and with a few different details (like this option i-cord cuff). Perfect for self striping yarn (I’ve used deeeeep stash Opal here) or partial skeins you’ve got lying around. I’ll release the Shorty Shorty Shorties pattern alongside the Ginnel Socks (probably as a little ebook, hopefully in early July) or you’ll be able to get it on its own if colorwork socks aren’t your thing.

#memademay day 18: so nice to be breaking out the warmer weather makes, even if it’s back to soggy weather tonight ! #WillaTee by @this.bird.knits in lovely Bio Balance from @northern_yarn , #OgdenCami by @truebias in Liberty Lawn from @guthrieghani and @merchantandmills #MMBucketHat 🌞
Catching my breath with a few rounds ✨✨✨
It's been three years since I published a knitting pattern (hm I wonder why! 🤔) but I'm super excited to have a few in the works to be released later this summer! But first, I'm looking for a few testers for each pattern!
