I am having a bit of an existential crisis today. I look at Ravelry and there are literally millions of knitting patterns. Does the knitting world really need any more from myself? My practical mind answers “no” but my heart says “yes!” simply because I love knitting so much. It’s not like I am going to stop knitting, or making up my own patterns since it is so much fun. And then there is yarn, just waiting to be played with, like this stunning trio from @countessablaze that I am going to wind up shortly to knit while I go travelling next week (I am so into greens and blues right now). So I guess I will stick with it for now and shut my inner doubter . If you have read this far, do you ever have doubts about what you do and how much use there is to it? What do you do about it? . . . . . #knitting #knittersofinstagram #yarn #yarnlover #knittingaddict #crafting #handknit #craftsposure #knitlife #stricken #tricot #knittingtherapy #alwaysknitting #igknitters #cosyliving #strikken #memade #craftyhands #knittedwardrobe #handmadefashion #knitlife #yarnspiration #knitting_inspiration #knittingproject #knitsnotbots #countessablaze https://www.instagram.com/p/BpH6t9KF3Hh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gr6yyg8u1bcp

I’ve been working on three new designs but unfortunately I can’t show any of them yet as they are not for me but a collaboration which I am very excited about! But I have just knitted a swatch in that pale lilac yarn for the first sweater design of mine. I knitted the swatch in three different needle sizes and unhappy about all of them . So going to undo this swatch and try it in yet another size to get the fabric I want, good thing this yarn is a joy to knit with. . . . . #knitting #knittersofinstagram #yarn #yarnlover #knittingaddict #crafting #handknit #craftsposure #knitlife #stricken #tricot #knittingtherapy #alwaysknitting #igknitters #cosyliving #strikken #memade #craftyhands #knittedwardrobe #handmadefashion #knitlife #yarnspiration #knitting_inspiration #knittingproject #knitsnotbots #embracetheswatch #handmadecrochethooks #woodencrochethooks https://www.instagram.com/p/BoeU6aEHG08/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k4pcy3prtiut
This is a photo from last autumn, but that’s the mood I am gearing towards, now October is here: wooly socks, copious amounts of hot tea, beeswax candles, preserves and dry flowers - the ultimate cosiness accessories. Happy October, everyone! . . . . . #knitting #knittersofinstagram #yarn #yarnlover #knittingaddict #crafting #handknit #craftsposure #knitlife #stricken #tricot #knittingtherapy #alwaysknitting #igknitters #cosyliving #strikken #memade #craftyhands #knittedwardrobe #handmadefashion #knitlife #yarnspiration #knitting_inspiration #knittingproject #knitsnotbots https://www.instagram.com/p/BoZ8lELHr6s/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=am5smvamr1z4
Bottom ribbing on the sweater should be finished today and then the sleeves! Which means I can come back to knitting on that sea green project and cast on a new one! I need the variety! . . . . . #knitting #knittersofinstagram #yarn #yarnlover #knittingaddict #crafting #handknit #craftsposure #knitlife #stricken #tricot #knittingtherapy #alwaysknitting #igknitters #cosyliving #strikken #memade #craftyhands #knittedwardrobe #handmadefashion #knitlife #yarnspiration #knitting_inspiration #knittingproject #knitsnotbots https://www.instagram.com/p/BnbozpXHp-F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=83rs8i44gi8r
