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

Yarndale 2022 🧶 Had the best time with the @emilyfoulds_knits crew once again! So fun to meet so many people IRL and feel the proper knitty community buzz - thank you so much to everyone who came for a natter and a yarny squish ❤️ Lots of love for the #OverItSlipover today which made me pull the cheesiest grin and get a bit giddy, thanks guys!

Add a vintage necklace and suddenly I am a new woman 💃🏻 I love how clothing & accessories totally change the way you hold yourself / move / feel... I was on a photoshoot the other day and couldn't help but pose completelyyy differently in baggy jeans compared to a pretty dress (managed to sly some knitty pics in there too because of course). Cashmere sweater and pearl necklace makes me feel all ~fancy~ and I love it 😂 What's your favourite item to feel your best in?

New pattern ✨ Meet the #MergerBeanie - I decided

New pattern ✨ Meet the #MergerBeanie - I decided I needed both a stripy and a cabled hat in my life so here we are 🤓 Combining the two makes for funky looking stripes and cables with extra pop, yet is very simple to knit. A nice quick project for Autumn in worsted weight yarn, in 3 sizes!

🧶Introductory offer: receive this hat pattern FREE with any garment pattern (via Ravelry). Add the beanie + any other Lilykatemakes garment to your cart, use code STRIPYCABLES, and the hat pattern will be free. Valid until 28th September 🍂

Tis the season for the knits over activewear WFH uniform, am I right? Odd combination but I'm sure I'm not the only one wearing it on a regular basis 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm often asked for the pattern for these big cushions in the background of my YouTube videos, and have to disappoint by saying they're not crochet granny squares or anything homemade, but are from TK Maxx 🙈 Glad people like them anyway! And the small front ones are handmade, just in case I didn't have enough stitchy stuff in my room already. There is no mistaking this is a knitter's space when you walk in 😅

Guess I should maybe design my own cable sweater to add to my inherited / thrifted collection... Maybe a light grey?

Quite happy to jump on trends with 40 year old items that look good as new✌🏻

Test knitters needed! After what has felt like a marathon grading task this #OverItSlipover is now ready for test knitting 🧶

I liked the crew neck for layering with shirts but thought a roll neck could look cute too... so I knit a detachable turtleneck 😁 I think it'll look great under a coat and then can be unbuttoned and whipped off like a cowl when you're warm inside! Turtleneck is of course not required for the test knit but the option is there if you fancy being extra cosy.

Pattern is written in 9 sizes with instructions for modifying for a longer / shorter / narrower / wider waist and fuller bust. Will definitely need testers to send regular photo updates to check fit as you go along so please only apply if you're happy to do this! All other info is on the application page linked in my bio ✨

Wasn't feeling the metal buttons on my #AnydayCard

Wasn't feeling the metal buttons on my #AnydayCardigan anymore so swapped them out and added a matching crochet edge. Gave an older knit a nice refresh I think 😁 I still want a neutral fuzzy version for winter though! Could knit one in no time on 7mm needles, just the mountain of a to-knit pile to get through first...
