Selfie with Umbrella, digital photo, October 2018.
Beginning to prep for workshops. A small handful of spaces left on @freeholdyarnco Selbu Mitten class next Saturday. Don't forget I'm also teaching Design Signature Colourwork at Yarnporium @yarninthecity in November AND the @edinyarnfest classes go on sale TODAY. Wave hello if I'm going to seeeee you 👋
I'm not saying I have colour obessions. I'm just saying my #makewhatyouwear strategy is paying off. L-R: Lausavisa pullover in @alafoss Lopi, Minuscule fingerless mittens in @blackeryarns Swan 4ply, Vinterskov in @hjelholtsuldspinderi Håndværksgarn.
UHM. So I finish something and it's so so so so pretty and I block it .. and one of the colours just sheds everywhere. I MEAN: SHEDS. Recs for solid-coloured DK yarns that won't fcking shed all over a week's worth of hard work?
Cannot believe it's already been a week since I came home from Denmark. This photo was taken in the Kongens Have park with Rosenborg Castle in the background. I've spent many lazy afternoons here as a student, pretending to study but just soaking up the sun. Till next time, lovely Copenhagen. (Eta: the Danish water was hard on my hair!)
I'm back on the road again. Hope to catch you there x
Earlier this year I thought I'd never design or write another knitting pattern. So glad my creative impulse is back (this pullover is called Vinterskov). I just read a rather wonderful book by Alice Mattison called The Kite and the String - about navigating a creative life when you are busy doing other things (child-rearing, day job, relationships, you know the drill). She writes wonderfully wise things about how women self-censor and devalue our own voices. Reading the book gave me so much to think about and what I need to do in order to keep my regained creativity well-nourished. A recommended read.
More autumn-weather treasures. My @rowanyarns Orkney cardigan isn't perfect but I love it. I knitted it around 4-5 years ago when I worked for Rowan. These days I dream of designing my own full-blown stranded knit garment with tonnes of tiny details. It'll have to wait as I'm busy with something else, but it's nice to revisit my first attempt at an intricate colourwork cardigan. I'd do quite a few things differently now. I'll be talking colourwork lessons at #Yarnporium soon!
