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.

I took my knitting for a walk and actually managed to find some quiet greenery in the park.
.
There’s been a lot of talk about accessibility while I’ve been away (by ‘away’ I do mean lurking), and while the fact that we *have* to talk about it isn’t great, the fact that the conversation is happening seems like a good one.
.
For now, I have removed the Ravelry link from my profile so that no one can click it and do themselves any harm. I’m looking into the best places to host my patterns elsewhere, so that they are still available to folks who are in danger from using Ravelry. I can do this relatively easily because I have, like, 4 patterns, but my sympathies for designers whose entire careers have pretty much been dumped due to inaccessibility.
.
As for the current financial discussion, I’ve only been witness to this second hand so I don’t want to accidentally strawman anyone. For the record I don’t think I’ve ever used the recommended yarn for a pattern for various reasons, and yarn subbing is a skill I am still not entirely competent at but there are things I can do to help. As a knitter, gauge swatches are helpful, as is thinking about what qualities the garment requires from the yarn, but none of these are super easy to grasp as a newbie.
.
That is why, as I designer, I always try to say 'you should use a yarn that has these qualities, and here is the yarn I used in the photos.’ It doesn’t fix everything, but hopefully it helps.
.
If you have any ideas, either about where to host my patterns or what your tips on yarn subbing are, let me know in the comments.

Have you ever had a project that you just want to end?
.
I like to always have a pair of socks on the needles - preferably some plain ones. They’re nice, mindless knitting to work away on in front of the TV, or while chatting to a friend. These ones though… the crimping on the yarn is really messing with my tension, even though I do like the finished texture. They take a bit too much concentration than I’d like, and my other sock needles currently have a pair of gloves on them, so my only choice is to get these finished.
.
But… ugh…. they’re taking so long… if I do this again I’m definitely skeining and washing the yarn before I reknit it.

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?

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. .

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!

A little bit of Kefir and relaxing sock knitting before we leave our hotel and set off for our last day in Amsterdam. Our flight is not until 9pm, so we have got plenty of time for a few things I had on my list. We have booked tickets to see Christopher Robin at Pathe Tuschinski cinema and then we are off to Botanical Gardens. However I am so looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight! Have a good day, everyone!

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!

Today’s main achievements: managed to knit quite a bit on my shawl, despite ridiculous heat and bake a loaf of bread, that turned out so light with a crunchy crust thanks to the method by lovely Daki @ducklington.designs that she has written out step by step on her blog. Thank you so much for the recipe, Daki! My breads usually come out a bit dense but this one is perfect, even though I halved the recipe and didn’t have any wholemeal flour, (added 20g of wholegrain Rye flour for some natural yeasts to 480g of white bread flour). Any achievements to boast about, dear knitters? .

It doesn’t look like I made any progress on this shawl, does it, bit I did, in fact I finished it, blocked, didn’t like it, and frogged it . This is attempt N2. I messed up the rate of increases so the shape was all wrong. At least now I know what I am knitting hopefully I will finish it in no time!
Have a beautiful week everyone!

Mittens finished! If any of you, guys, fancy knitting a pair of warm mittens in the middle of summer let me know! I am about to find a couple of testers. It should be a pretty straightforward knit (famous last words ). Also, spot the difference. The mitten on the left is blocked and on the right - isn’t, and has just been finished.
Have a lovely hump day, everyone! .

When the day starts right - I bound off this shawl/scarf I made up on the go with @pehorka_official yarn I bought in Belarus and I am quite pleased with it. I then went for a walk through a meadow we have behind our house and picked some buttercups for a vase. Buttercups can be pretty invasive so thinning them out does other flowers good! Hope you are having a good Thursday too

I have just published the pattern for this shawl. I called it Summer Night shawl, not very original but I feel it is a fitting name. Sock yarn makes it light and somewhat cool to the touch yet warm and comforting if it slightly chilly outside. Oh and it is just £1 (plus VAT for some unfortunately ) until next Wednesday

How awesome is this brooch by @donifolk inspired by Russian folklore? It is adorning my newly finished shawl. I am knitting another version of the shawl in a more repeatable yarn (this shawl is knitted in my hand-dyed yarn) and I have the pattern all written down already

As I was walking to the GP for a routine test this morning, while battling the wind and rain, I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be lovely to pick some of the flowering plants I encountered on the way, to draw them and press to celebrate today, which is my birthday (and husband’s too). I am thinking of doing the same thing on the 15th of every month throughout the year, just for fun, memory keeping and continuing to practice drawing and painting. In the top left corner is a little birthday present to myself, a skein of @thefibrecompany canopy I am going to use in a colourwork sweater for myself. In the bottom left corner - a little dishcloth I knitted during our knit night, prompted by Amber @yarnhoarder in her recent Instagram post. I am going to make another one during our next knit night! I usually struggle to knit while chatting away but a dishcloth I can manage!
