My #chevrecowl has been a little neglected, but I’m over one repeat in and really loving it. Yarn details when I’m finished as it’s a bit of a surprise 🖤 @sweaterspotter @karentempler #fringemarlislekal #marlisle #secretknitting . . . . . #knittersoftheworld #knittersofig #knittersgonnaknit #knittingismyyoga #knitknitknit #makerslife #myhandsmaking #nevernotknitting #makersgonnamake #makersofinstagram #imarealknitter #knitsnotbots
Happy Friday! Is there anything happier than a rainbow of yarn?!? I think not! #acknitwear new Something to Knit with Aran is now available! I had the pleasure of knitting with some this summer (for some secret knitting 🤫) ... it’s squishy and bouncy and soft and warm and the colors look so fab together!! Go check it out ... and congrats Jen and Jim on another lovely yarn! 🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙 . . Regrann from @jenacknitwear - YUM! We’ve just launched our new Something to Knit With Aran yarn. It’s perfect for cosy sweaters and squishy accessories. Find out more in our online shop (link in profile).

Second sock + sour ! A little start on the second of my #parkamoorsocks , now with Baltimore beer 🍻 . . . . . #sockknittersofinstagram #boxosoxkal #socktawk #sockknitting #knittersofinstagram #knittersoftheworld #blackeryarns #knitbritish #knitweardesign #imarealknitter #knitsnotbots #beerandknitting
Same project, different bed! I arrived in Baltimore yesterday, and I’m enjoying my first free morning since I arrived in the US by taking things slow: pjs, knitting, and coffee in bed. I know it doesn’t look all that much different, but my St Catherines body is just a few rows short of being done! Maybe I’ll stay here til it’s time to divide 🖤 #northernyarn #katedaviesdesigns #jennett #polldorset #zwartbles #knitbritish #lovelocalwool . . . . . #knitterslife #nevernotknitting #knittingandcoffee #makersgonnamake #makersofinstagram #livefolk #knitknitknit #knittersoftheworld #knittersofig #nevernotknitting #ukknitters #imarealknitter #knitsnotbots
*🧦 testers found — thanks everyone !🧦 * I’ve been writing up a pattern for these lovely little cabled socks, the prototype of which was knit for @nickvonderby for our wee wedding (swipe for a pic of the original pair) I’ve just about crossed all the t’s and dotted the i’s and would love to have a few knitters try out the pattern over the next month. The socks are knit cuff down, with a ribbed leg that has a simple twisted cable down each side, a plain foot, and optional contrasting toe. The pattern includes instructions for an afterthought heel as well as heel flap and gusset. I’m currently working up a pair in @blackeryarns Mohair Blends 4-ply (the originals were knit in discontinued Colinette Jitterbug) but any solid or nearly solid sock yarn would be lovely! If you’re interested in test knitting, drop me a message ! . . . . #parkamoorsocks #sockknittersofinstagram #nonylonsocks #blackeryarns #knitbritish #operationsockdrawer #socktawk #sockknitting #testknitting #knitweardesign #ukknitters #imarealknitter #knitsnotbots #knittersoftheworld #knittersofig #makersgonnamake #knitknitknit #nevernotknitting
The perks of jet lag: I was up, showered, and ready for a day of conferencing by 7 am. Which meant I could sneak down to the lobby for coffee and retreat back to my room for a few quiet rows before the day really begins! Still absolutely loving my slow growing St. Catherines in #northernyarn zwartbles and brand new Jennett, a 100% Poll Dorset lambswool from a single farm! I was lucky enough to get some advance knitting time with it, but it’s available from today from @northern_yarn , released to coincide with the shop’s first birthday! Happy shop birthday to lovey Kate and if you have the chance, I definitely recommend trying to get your hands on some Jennett ... soft but strong, the yarn knits up beautifully ... and has a beautiful story behind it! . . . . . #knitbritish #lovelocalwool #polldorset #lys #knittersoftheworld #placesyoucanknit #nevernotknitting #knitknitknit #makersgonnamake #makerslife #ukknitters #imarealknitter #knitsnotbots #knittersofig
