Ready to be worn with white jeans and a tan all su

Ready to be worn with white jeans and a tan all summer long 💙 I could happily knit 50 of these in every stripe combo under the sun.

Also, I think it’s kinda cool how this particular marled yarn creates a slightly different fabric on the upper body (worked flat) to the main body (worked in the round). One of the interesting quirks of hand knitting!

Another #TonightTop finished! My mum knit most of

Another #TonightTop finished! My mum knit most of this one and I added all the edgings - in my head this video was going to look a lot slicker than it actually does but oh well 😅 This colour is quite different for me but I actually love it! No idea what the yarn actually is - my Nan bought it at Woolfest in about 2009, wound it, and never used it soooo… I claimed it. Definitely feels like superwash sock but not a clue who it’s dyed by. Kinda nice to wear something outside your usual colour palette every once in a while though!

Something new. Looks like a scrappy mess at this point but I have faith that the ugly duckling stage will pass quickly! Love the exciting feeling of a new project in pretty yarn, even if my face doesn’t look too enthused here 😅 What’s new on your needles atm?

Dressing like I should have an Aperol in hand rath

Dressing like I should have an Aperol in hand rather than a Monday mid-afternoon brew. This wee bag has had so much use already and the top isn’t far behind! Smooth black fabric is a nightmare to photograph but I promise there are some neat details in there. We’re all about the handmade items that don’t look homemade, anyway ✌️

Shorts & shoes are from @audrey.Leighton.vintage - always feels like a win to wear an entirely handmade / small business outfit!

Had to say goodbye to this little guy today 💔 T

Had to say goodbye to this little guy today 💔 The loveliest, cuddliest cat there ever was, complete with 50 million different names, a love for sitting in the most inconvenient places, the silliest, funniest personality, and the softest head for kissing. By my side (literally) for the last 14 years and there are probably pieces of his fur in every item I've ever knit. Love you forever little Bip ❤️

(excuse the ridiculous voice - I'm sure I'm not the only one who talks absolute nonsense to their pet)

This yarn started life as a cabled sweater design

This yarn started life as a cabled sweater design that didn't fit right... Frogged it, soaked it, rewound it and now it's ready to begin its new life as a #MovementSweater 😁 Will revisit the stripy cable design at some point as I do love it. Maybe in a more imaginative colour combo 👀 But for now, shall be wearing these stripes on repeat!

#MovementSweater pattern now available! And stripy

#MovementSweater pattern now available! And stripy version finished just in time. I’m a bit in love with how it turned out and can’t wait to wear it lots and lots. Perfect for this chilly May weather we’re having 😂

I designed the Movement Sweater to combine my love for activewear and knitwear - the sweater for post-workout brunch, casual walks, warming up post swim, and the like! Or of course for chilling on the sofa, that works too 😁 See all the test knitter versions for inspo! The colour themes bring me far more joy than they probably should haha. Thank you to all my wonderful testers!

Usually I offer a discount for newsletter subscribers, but due to some new Mailchimp compliance requirements (rant coming on stories lol), I won’t be doing a newsletter for the foreseeable. Insta discount it is instead! Use code SOLIDORSTRIPES for 10% off via Ravelry or Payhip - expires midnight BST tomorrow 6th May.

Striped or solid version, which do you fancy?
