Someone recently walked out of my life, giving fear as the reason. Fear that the only possible outcome was an end, and therefore a…

A little knit on knit 'fit, just in case there was

A little knit on knit 'fit, just in case there was any doubt that I am indeed a knitter and it makes up a good chunk of my personality. Who would I even be without the hobby I started as an 8 year old 😳 Genuinely can't imagine. Don't know what route my life would've taken but my sweater and accessories collection would be poorer for it. I'm sure I'm not the only one who can't imagine their life without stitches!

Also, turns out heatless dressing gown curls actually work. Who knew 🤷🏻‍♀️

#OverItSlipover over everything 💃 I honestly enjoyed making this one so much, especially because it actually looks neat and tidy as you go along so you can properly see it taking shape. Even if that does mean I stop to try it on approx every 5 minutes 🤦🏻‍♀️

2 new designs, one of which is going swimmingly, the other is doing my head in. It's a 2 steps forward, 1 step back kind of situation 🙃 But it'll hopefully be a classic item I wear allll the time so worth it in the end. Always the 'simple' ones that cause the headaches whilst the fussy ones are a breeze 😂

Outfit pics when you can't be bothered with your face. ✌🏻 No matter how many cream sweaters I own, I'm never bored of them! Pretty lace details help of course ✨

Today's double knits outfit. Haven't worn this hat in a while but today definitely required it ❄️ Currently looking for something good to watch whilst I plough through a load of stocking stitch - I'm not feeling inspired so send any recommendations my way!

TAKING SHAPE 🧶 Happy that I'm on the right track now after starting again! Aiming for a superrr wearable everyday cardigan with neat finishing details and a satisfying shoulder shape. I'm using @bcgarn Loch Lomond and am really enjoying the texture and grip of a woollen spun after using smooth worsted spun yarns for a while 🥰

Forever wearing an odd combination of knitwear & workout clothes - this headband rarely features on insta but is probably one of my most worn items. Keeps my ears toasty on winter runs ❄️

Girl with the hoop earring 🌝 Many ways to wear

Girl with the hoop earring 🌝 Many ways to wear a #HaslamScarf. Pic from 2020 when I decided to see how many ways I could wear my knit accessory collection - lockdown induced creativity and all that. Basically I'll happily wear a shawl, in any way except as an actual shawl 😅 Might have to repeat the challenge sometime soon!

Not my finest outfit but not my worst (the too short pyjamas + fleece snuggie + socks & slippers look was a fave this week). #MadeMyDayCardigan is a good one for feeling cosy at home 🥰

I'd love a neutral version too, and am trying to think really hard about the colours and combinations I knit with this year - definitely not all neutrals (that would be boring) but definitely giving wearability more thought. Although there are always surprising items that sound like they would be difficult to style, but actually go with everything 🤷🏻‍♀️
