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!

Class Photo! Four new knitters, four new cowls (or nearly there), first class in the brand new #northernyarn shop complete! Thanks Laura @conundrumically , Emma, Choon Key, and Maria @dodgson_wood for such a fab class and huge thanks as always to Kate @northern_yarn - love teaching with you! #9middlestreet #learntoknit #lys #loveyourlys
Thanks to everyone who entered the giveaway for Onward Knits, a book of knitting patterns inspired by the architecture of the Wellington Railway Station by my dear and talented friend @kateljordan. The random number generator has spoken and the book is winging its way to Shanthi @equestrian_knitter ! Over the weekend, I also finally put the finishing touches on my Depature (Not A) Scarf, a pattern from the book that I test knitted for Kate. It’s such a clever modular pattern, easily adaptable for different yarn weights. I chose high contrast @westyorkshirespinners Jacobs Aran and Lancashire Farm Wool Aran Lonk for this version, both from @northern_yarn but I think it’d be equally beautiful in a more subtle color combination. Time was tight when I was testing, so I only worked four squares rather than the full scarf. The finished piece is going to be a wall hanging for the living room — I love the bold graphic look of it! You can order print copies of the book from @kateljordan and the ebook is also available on Ravelry. If you’re based in the UK @northern_yarn is also a stockiest! Congrats again Kate on such a beautiful book! #knittersoftheworld #knittersofravelry #knittersofinstagram #ukknitters #knitknitknit #makersgonnamake #myhandsmaking #naturesshades #breedspecific #knitbritish
First Monday back at work in 2019 and I’m just wondering when can I sneak in the final rows on my #waitingforrainshawl by @softsweater knit in @triskelionyarn Scylfing 4-ply #knittersofravelry #knittersofinstagram #myhandsmaking #knitknitknit
These were meant to be vanilla socks, but right before we left Australia, I decided to try out an idea I’d had rattling around in my head and add some bobbles. It might be the jet lag talking, but I am completely smitten with the result! I’m hoping to get the pattern written up this weekend and will be looking for a few test knitters. I’ll do a proper call next week, but if you’ve got any interest send me a message! #mondim #nonylonsocks #burgeonsocks
We’re en route back home, but here’s one last picture from our trip to Australia. This well loved little guy is Uncle Nick Bear, which @nickvonderby sent to his niece Macey for her christening. Over the holidays, I helped Macey and her sister Alexa learn to knit, and Macey decided she’d work on a scarf for her teddy. She finished just a few days before we left, and seeing the joy, enthusiasm, and pride she felt wrapping her blocked finished object around Uncle Nick Bear—and her desire to cast on her next project right away—was just awesome. I loved sharing knitting with my nieces over the holiday (and seeing @hannahradburn pick her needles back up) 😍😍😍 looking forward to more crafty times together ! 📷: Macey #knittersoftheworld #knittingfamily
Last morning in Melbourne ... #placesyoucanknit #nonylonsocks
