Cheers to an awesome #eyf2019! Loved spending time with friends, meeting new ones, chatting, awkwardly showing handknits to yarn producers and designers, knitting, gaming ... oh and I bought a bit of wool too! It was fun and overwhelming and I forgot to take any pictures but happy to have this one of @jennifergbarrett and me in our matchy Threipmuir jumpers knit in amazing @the_birlinn_yarn_company 4ply that @ysolda kindly snapped in her shop — thank you!!! I’ve got a to knit list as long as my arm, stash enhancement to match, and lots of lovely memories! Now time to unpack, do laundry, and get ready to leave again in 48 hours 😳 #edinyarnfest2019 #fieldworkmal #100percentwool #ysoldasweaterkal #knittingfriendsarethebestfriends
Can’t believe these lovely ladies are leaving tomorrow first thing! How fast the time flies!!!! Thanks for a wonderful #eyf2019 @gracieleesmith @katie_lee58
Dry and ready for the suitcase! Coming for you #eyf2019! Pattern is Threipmuir by @ysolda knit in the most beautiful @the_birlinn_yarn_company 4ply. #fieldworkmal #100percentwool #ysoldasweaterkal #havewoolwilltravel
When I first had the idea for the Burgeon Socks, I knew I wanted a “subtle” bobble that would keep the socks practical so they could be easily worn without interfering with your trouser’s leg. But why hide your beautiful handiwork? I’ve gotten increasingly fond of wearing my handknit socks with skirts and dresses and matching them with shoes that show them off! I love how the mustard speckles of the beautiful @retrosariarosapomar Mondim match with my favorite yellow sneakers, and have also been enjoying wearing them with my @lottafromstockholm clogs (second picture) for maximum handknit sock exposure 😂 The Burgeon Socks pattern is now available on Ravelry (link in profile) #burgeonsocks #fiberandsustenance
My latest design, the Burgeon Socks, are now available for purchase on Ravelry! Featuring small, easy to work bobbles, the socks combine whimsical texture with plenty of plain knitting. The pattern includes instructions for working toe up and cuff down, as well as options for an afterthought heel and heel flap and gusset (top down only). I knit the sample pair in delightful @retrosariarosapomar Mondim sock yarn and love the result! The bobbles stand up to variegated and speckled yarns, but also shine in solids. Massive thanks to my test knitters (whose versions I’ll be sharing over the next few weeks) and to the eagle eyes of @jennifergbarrett 💛💛💛 Rather than offer an introductory discount, during the first month of pattern sales I’ll be donating 15% of pattern proceeds to RAIS Lancaster, a local organization that provides refugees in the community with advocacy, information and support. Link in profile will take you to the Ravelry page! #burgeonsocks #fiberandsustenance
I didn’t manage my #preeyfstashroll this weekend, so am hoping to do it in bits and pieces in the week and a half leading up to #eyf2019 ! Pulled out this gorgeous @blackisleyarns Shetland sport this morning — I got a sweater’s worth last year at Meet the Shepherd(ess) and forgot how beautiful it is! I was planning to shop for yarn for Olivia by #cocoknits, but I think this would be perfect for it! The magic of the stash roll! #knittersofravelry #knittersoftheworld #shoppingthestash #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #knitstagram #ukknitters #knitbritish #lovelocalwool
