I really want someone to knit a sweater with these yarns. What pattern would you choose? #yarnovernewyork #yony #knitaddict #knittersofig #knittersoftheworld #yarn #yarnaddict #handyedyarn #instaknit #yarnchoices

Enjoying a quick cast on with “I’m a Barbie Girl” on my way to @woolynbklyn for today’s trunk show. We hope to see you there.

Look, I just really like twisted ribbing, ok?

I never posted my finished Lochbroom socks, did I?
.
I really love the colour inversion on these. I don’t know if it was intentional because I didn’t notice until I was halfway through the second sock, but if so that’s fantastic.
.
Yarn is @kelpieknits’ Lochbroomcolourway on Pitter Patter base, pattern is Soy Vanilla.

Whelp, time for some cable surgery. This is what happens when you *think* you know what the pattern says but you… don’t.

A second shot of my super-secret Nessie socks for my housemate. Taking gratuitous advantage of the better lighting in a friend’s living room.

A late 2019 FO which had to be kept secret for a little while - a pair of socks for my housemate made with @lovehandyed’s wonderful Nessie colourway.
.
I believe this was a yarn dyed specifically for @lochnessknitfest, and was absolutely perfect for my housemate’s birthday present.
.
Note to self though: knitting socks in secret is not as fun as it seems. I ran super close to time with these, and almost resorted to giving one as a birthday present and saving the other for Christmas. Luckily it didn’t come to that!
.
Have you ever had to knit anything in secret? Any tips in case I have to try it again?

2020 is the year I get over my fear of wearing knitted sweaters.
.
I’ve always felt kind of bad about my aversion to knitting sweaters. It just feels like a Thing Knitters Should Do, but several years of acute dysphoria and a general awareness that my body will change, dramatically, somehow, has made the prospect of putting a large amount of time into something that won’t last long and will probably make me feel bad… not a great idea.
.
The hormones have, more or less, made their changes (other than whatever it is they’re doing to my hairline), and I can’t put my life on hold for anything else. I’m tired of running from my dysphoria. 2020 is the year to beat it into submission, one stitch at a time.

Back at Mum’s for the holidays, and any attempts to keep cat hair away from my knitting, or clothes, or face, quickly went out the window. Luckily I’m only knitting for me this time.
.
Here’s Dora, looking much more chill about my existence than Holly was.
.
Yarn pictured is @kelpieknits’ Lochbroom, and I am absolutely adoring it. I almost missed my heel shaping because I was having too much fun.

December is a time for sock knitting, apparently. These ones are luckily for me.
.
The yarn is @kelpieknits’ Lochbroom, and I am completely in love with both the colours and the feel - this yarn is squishy and smooth and I just want to rub my face over it, but I know if I do I will poke an eye out. I may need to make myself a scarf out of this base some point soon.

I dug out this jumper today for a yarn-based job interview and got weirdly nostalgic.
I knit this jumper in my first year of university over the course of a summer far too hot to be using aran weight yarn, and it was my go-to hoodie for most of uni. I packed it away when I moved, wrongly believing that knitted sweaters cling to my chest in the wrong way. Then I abandoned it, too worried that I’d grown out of it.
It’s a bit short in the body, but otherwise it fits perfectly, and the hood is still the most drapey, best-fitting hood on any of my clothes. Not only have I re-found my winter fave, I’ve now got the sweater-bug.
Anyone got any good recommendation for men’s/unisex cabled sweaters? I think the bulk of the cables helps cover my chest.
(Pattern is Lichen from Rowan winter collection… ‘08 maybe? I added the hood, as the original had a shawl collar.)

If you’re not using your train journeys for impromptu photo shoots, what are you even doing?
Having two pairs on the needles is actually a pretty nice feeling, as it makes me less likely to get bored of either.
On the left I’m reknitting a failed sock I refused to acknowledge for about six years. On the right, a request from faeandfibre, who very kindly helped me find a third skein at lovehandyed’s stall this Saturday. It’s knitting up beautifully.

Coming “home”.
A lot of you don’t know me, personally; or how much of my life was spent studying fiber arts, the industry, and how that had a phenomenal impact on my business; how I make my products, and (in certain ways) how having an education in the Fiber Arts distinctly makes my products unique and different to those that are similar on the market, so I want to start an open Q&A dialogue on this post, where you can ask anything about my life in the arts, my time in Philadelphia, my work load, my focused study at Tyler….Ask me anything. My husband and I are planning a road trip (April 9-10) , where I can properly introduce him to the city that started it all for me. I’m proud of the city that provided me with my education. I’m proud of my school for creating an atmosphere where we were challenged to think outside the many artistic boxes we encountered. And I’m proud to be a Tyler School of Art, Temple University 2012 alumni. I ❤️ Philly, and what it has enabled me to give back to you, my customers and fellow artists.
So Instagram… Ask me anything
