Featured FO: Rose Lane Rocquaine!

Hi friends!

How’s your weekend going?

It’s been quiet around these parts — errands, laundromat (blergh!), cooking, and a little bit of knitting.

But I’m not here to tell you about what I’ve been working on at the moment — I’m here to share a finished sweater: my Rocquaine Pullover!

One year ago today ✨💕✨ 📸 @lovelucyx.photography
Inspired by @jennifergbarrett I pulled out the Bressay colors that we painstakingly chose at @northern_yarn a few days ago. It’s a such a challenge to visualize how so many colors will play together, but I am really excited to give these a try — especially since they’re a little out of my comfort zone! #bressayalong #mariewallinkal #wallinalong #knittersoftheworld #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #knitknitknit #nevernotknitting #myhandsmaking #jamiesonsofshetland
Why did I take two years to finish this cardigan? I’ve written a blog post today about this particular piece of knitting’s journey — you can find it at the link in profile if you fancy a read! I’m so happy it’s finally done though — I’ve worn it nearly every day since I finished it! This photo is me wearing it on last weekend’s sunny walk, paired with my @lucyandyak Atlas overalls (which I’m totally in love with). Pattern is Southwell Cardigan by @oliveknits knit in @sherwoodyarn BFL Sock. #knittersoftheworld #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #knitstagram #myhandsmaking #knitknitknit #nevernotknitting #memademay
How to focus on work when the sun’s streaming in and you’ve finally got a knitting project back on track. Sneaking in rows on the front of my Olivia by @cocoknits knit in @blackisleyarns Shetland Sport in between tasks today. #knittersoftheworld #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #knitstagram #myhandsmaking #handmadewardrobe #lovelocalwool
I’ve been working on this cardigan in a very off and on way for two years now. The end is in sight ... if I could just stop dithering over this buttonband! This is attempt two — my first go was far too many stitches and flared terribly. I’ve decreased the number of stitches, and can’t decide if it’s just right or if losing 4-8 more would be better. Do I press on, rip back, or block as is and see? This would be perfect to be wearing right now ... I want to finally get it off the needles! Pattern is Southwest Cardigan by @oliveknits knit in @sherwoodyarn BFL 4 ply. #knittingniggles #knittersoftheworld #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #handmadewardrobe #knitknitknit #myhandsmaking #100percentwool
