#UnderlaceTop 'sleeves' hiding my pale shoulders f

#UnderlaceTop 'sleeves' hiding my pale shoulders from the sun
🌝 I've had the best time in Graz, its gone so quickly but also feels like I've been here for ages! Guess that happens when it's a small-ish city and you learn your way around pretty quickly. Travelling (especially solo) always gives me a motivation / inspiration boost and I can't wait to put it to use!

Pattern: #UnderlaceTop available via my blog, Ravelry and Etsy
Yarn: @qingfibre Soufflé Pure (Ad / yarn support provided)

Pattern launch 2 of 2! The #DrawTheLineSweater ✏

Pattern launch 2 of 2! The #DrawTheLineSweater ✏️ So glad I finally wrote up the pattern for this one 3 years after making it - I've worn it so much, and I'm obsessed with all the different colour test knitter versions. Thank you so much everyone! As demonstrated by @braided_to_infinity, it works as a tank top with a crochet armhole edging instead of sleeves, too 😁

Purchase either of the 2 new patterns before the end of the week to receive an automatic discount on an existing summer pattern: #AvenhamCardigan, #BrightestTee, #ErinomeSweater, #FeelsRightTee, #LowdownTop, #MyTimeSweater, #PoisonedAppleTop, #TheOneThatIWantCrop, #ThePinkOneCardigan, #TidyTee, or #UnderlaceTop. Add both (1 old, 1 new) to basket on Ravelry and the discount will be added automatically.

#UpwardsTop is finally ready for test knitting 🙋‍♀️ It uses 4ply / fingering weight yarn and the pattern is written for my usual 9 sizes, with optional bust darts for each size. I like to wear mine with the keyhole in the back, but it can go either way if you don't use darts! I managed to make 2 tops with 2 skeins in a size 2, and knit until I ran out - I'm aware this isn't useful for other sizes, but for sizes 1 and 2 (and perhaps 3, if you have more generous skeins), it's a nice project to use up every last scrap. It's a fairly quick and simple knit, and the applied i-cord edgings are so satisfying to make 😍 All info on the application page linked in my bio!

Pattern: #UpwardsTop coming 8th July

#TakeTurnsTank pattern will be available on Wednes

#TakeTurnsTank pattern will be available on Wednesday ✌🏻 Wore mine for a day exploring yesterday, perfect for warm weather. Most of these photos were taken at @freilichmuseum_stubing, an open air museum 20km outside Graz, as recommended by my lovely host @mariejelenka ⛰️ In between exploring, meeting new people, crashing out tired and catching up on work, I actually haven't fit in as much knitting or reading as I expected... time to put that right!

Also, turns out knitstagram is not only a wonderful place for meeting the kindest people, it's also fab for learning / practicing languages - as I've found out by chatting in German in my DMs today! Vielen Dank jederman wer hat mit mir Deutsch heute gesprochen - es ist fantastisches Übung und vielleicht söllte ich das mehr machen 😁🇦🇹

Pattern: #TakeTurnsTank coming 25th May
Yarn: @kokonyarn Merino linen and Slubby Mohair

Will never get over these sleeves in golden hour 😍 Can't wait to wear this out on a sunny evening again! Just not tonight - cycled 46km today on my first bike ride in forever so tonight it's me and my knitting on the sofa ✌🏻

Pattern: #AvenhamCardigan available via my blog, Ravelry and Etsy
Yarn: @west_green_loft_yarns Wisp and Swirl

Cut my hair and caught a plane 💇🏻‍♀️✈️ Wore my newly finished #UpwardsTop for my first day exploring Graz - it is so ridiculously beautiful here! Walked many many steps, ate schnitzel, took loads of photos, found a yarn shop, knit in the park... all good fun 😇 Never sure whether to post non-knitting stuff on here rather than my personal account but swipe for some pretty travel pics if you fancy!

I'll finish writing up / formatting the pattern for this top at some point in the next few days 🤍

The poofiest little bubbly sleeves. Firm believer

The poofiest little bubbly sleeves. Firm believer that Sleeve Island is the best part of a project, especially a second sleeve where I don't need to worry whether it'll turn out right or not 🙌🏻 Anyone else enjoy the home stretch or does second sleeve syndrome hit you hard? 😅

Pattern: #AvenhamCardigan available via my blog, Ravelry and Etsy (puff sleeve and original flutter sleeve versions both in the same pattern)

#DrawTheLineSweater 📝 Took me a while but final

#DrawTheLineSweater 📝 Took me a while but finally decided on a name. Makes an excellent outfit for an impromptu Friday pub lunch 🌞
