It's #wipwednesday ! I'm adapting one of my favourite adult sweater designs to fit a child. It's a top down, yoked pattern which gives plenty of scope to adjust the fit. 🧶 #knitsky #knitting #knit #knits 🐇 This is the original: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
It’s shawl week at #showmeyourknits . This is my favourite shawl of all time and I wear it every day in winter. Woodland Friends Shawl, knit in Holst Garn supersoft. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
Aaaand *drumroll* it's published! "Dragon Sweater for Toddlers" on Ravelry, if anyone fancies making one (or even just popping over and giving it a like). 🧶🐉🎉 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
It's #FOFriday .. That's all the grandkids sorted for next winter. 🧶🐉🎉 I'm starting to write up the pattern this weekend.
Do any #knitters out there listen to #audiobooks while they #knit? I do all the time. In a former life I used to be an audiobook narrator and I'm still hooked on the combination of knitting and literature. A lot of my audiobook recordings are still out there (Narrator: Cathy Dobson). 🧶
Another pattern for this week's #showmeyourknits - I've made this in multiple variants and sizes. Always a winner and great stashbuster! #knitting 🧶🐘 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
This week on #showmeyourknits it's things knit multiple times. Well that's easy... mine's Dragons! You can never have too many dragons in your life! 🧶 #knitsky #crafts #knitting www.ravelry.com/designers/ca...
Working on another sized dragon sweater. Kids‘ patterns take ages because there are so many sizes and with stranded motifs you have to adapt everything each time. 🧶🐉 #knitting
Sometimes designing a sweater isn’t the trickiest part. It’s adapting the design so that it works for other sizes. In this case, I made a sweater for a baby and adapted the design to fit a 3 year old. 🧶🐉🎉 #knitting #bskyknits #showmeyourknits #dragon
As a designer, once you made a design, the next step is to adapt it to other sizes.
It’s #wips this week on #showmeyourknits Mine is a baby sweater which I’m adapting from my #dragon cowl design. 🧶🐉 I’m using the finest baby-friendly, machine washable yarn I could find. #knitting www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
It's #blankets this week on #showmeyourknits so I thought I'd share my dragon blanket with you. 🧶🐉 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
This week it's #stockingette on #showmeyourknits which for me is the boring part once you've reached the bottom of the yoke. On the plus side, you get to binge watch TV series. 🧶 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
This week it’s #wearingyourknits on #showmeyourknits This is me in my owl yoked sweater. One of my all time favorites. 🧶 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
This week it’s purple on #showmeyourknits so here’s a selection of purple animal knits. Patterns are all on my ravelry page. 🧶 #knitting #art #animals
One more for #showmeyourknits cowl week. This is the puffin cowl I made for a family member. #knitting #puffin #cowl #knitsky #bskyknits 🧶
This week's theme on #showmeyourknits is cowls. I've designed lots of #cowls over the years. Here are four of my favourites... but there are more designs on my Ravelry page.🧶 www.ravelry.com/designers/ca... #knitsky #knitting #bskyknits
Whenever I knit cushions I hide a message on the reverse. This is a quote from Pablo Picasso.
I saw a hare in the field today. Time to dig out my Celtic Hares sweater. 🧶🐇 #knitting #knitsky #bskyknits.
This photo popped up as today’s memory. It’s a hat I made a couple of years ago for my daughter.
This came up in my photo memories today. It turned into a sleeveless sweater. I still love wearing it. 🧶 #knitting.
I love designing sweaters, so when #showmeyourknits chose #sweaters for this week's feature, I was spoilt for choice. All the #patterns are available on my #ravelry store if anyone sees something they fancy #knitting. 🧶 www.ravelry.com/designers/ca...
A few people have asked me about my process for designing yoked sweaters. Basically there's a lot of trying things out on paper and checking how it comes together. 🧶🐉 #showmeyourknits #knitting #knittingdesign #art www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
