Fall 10×10 Challenge

Hi friends, and happy Tuesday!

A little over a week ago, and a bit on a whim, I decided to jump into Style Bee’s Fall 10×10 Challenge.  Are you familiar with these kinds of challenges?  They exist in different forms, but the idea behind this one is you pick ten items (including shoes!) and for ten days you wear them in combination.

FO Friday: Incunabula Cardigan!

Hi friends, and happy Friday!

I’ve been sitting on this finished object post for ages, waiting to have the time to sit down and properly write about what is probably one of my favorite ever finished garments, my Incunabula Cardigan, knit in very special Shear Delight Castlemilk Moorit/BFL DK.

Time flies when you’re having fun! Can’t believe our three class session on two at a time socks has come to an end! Thanks to all the lovely participants @madeonarainyday @mairwenj @harobbo @cjg_1 and everyone else for a great class! And thanks as always to Kate @northern_yarn for having me to teach. Hopefully we’ve got second sock syndrome well and truly beat! 🧦🧦🧦 #northernyarn #9middlestreet #loveyourlys #sockknittersofinstagram #sockknitting #taat
💕a most special gift 💕 A few weeks ago, this stunning and delicate scarf arrived on my doorstep from my lovely friend Anne @aantho55 I was literally speechless when I opened it — the lace, the color, the thought that went into it. I’ve worn it nearly every day since it arrived, and it’s wonderfully light and beautifully warm — perhaps even more so because I know the kindness that went into knitting it. Thank you again so much Anne — I love it so so much! Anne knit this in @jamiesonsofshetland Ultra which she got on a trip to Shetland. The pattern is Strawberry Vines Scarf by June Dickinson, published by Simply Shetland. #knittingfriendsarethebestfriends #knittersofravelry #knittersoftheworld #laceknitting #shetlandlace #handmadewardrobe
One round left to untink and then looking forward to finishing up this yoke! In other news, it’s 5 pm and still somewhat light outside !! Joining in the #sundayknittingsociety for the first time 😊 Pattern is Threipmuir by Ysolda Teague knit in @the_birlinn_yarn_company Hebridean 4ply. I’m knitting it as part of #fieldworkmal and the #ysoldasweaterkal #knittersoftheworld #knittersofravelry #myhandsmaking #knitknitknit #makersgonnamake
Carbeth twins! @madeonarainyday and I turned up for yesterday’s sock class at @northern_yarn wearing our nearly identical jumpers!! A photo was obviously necessary ... with Kate’s beautiful wall of @jamiesonsofshetland Spindrift as backdrop! #northernyarn #9middlestreet #handknittwins #loveyourlys #knittersoftheworld #knittersofravelry #katedaviesdesigns #bangoutacarbeth #knitknitknit #makersgonnamake #handmadewardrobe
My Kia Socks by @dawn.landix are finished and blocked and I couldn’t love them more 💕they’re knit in @ovisetcetera Herba, a no nylon sock yarn. I love the fabric and the way the texture of Dawn’s pattern, which recall equal signs, plays with the short bursts of color. Thank you Dawn for the beautiful pattern and the intention behind it. #knittersoftheworld #knittersofravelry #knittersofinstagram #kiasockskal #sockknittersofinstagram #operationsockdrawer #nonylonsocks
What a fabulous Wednesday! It’s always excellent to see Maylin @blithespirit4 but even better when yarn is involved (and lets be honest it almost always is!) Got to have a proper poke around Lancaster’s newest yarn shop @ethelandemshop — congrats Melanie @gollywhoa on opening your beautiful shop! A few balls of Kidsilk Haze had to come home with me — look at that blue!!!! Then a lovely visit to Kate @northern_yarn where I didn’t take pictures (because I’m there nearly every day 😂) a fab day spent seeing fab crafty folk!! Also can we make the hashtag #lancasteryarndistrict a thing? #knittingfriendsarethebestfriends #loveyourlys #ethelandem #northernyarn #lancasterlove #knittersofinstagram #knittersoftheworld #knitknitknit #nevernotknitting
