Hi hi! I’ve been a little quiet on IG lately (more editing than designing these days - pays the bills but doesn’t provide quite as much grid-worthy content 😅) . But THIS is something worth sharing. My LYS @castoncastoffnl recently started carrying @tukuwool and when the shop owner Katie posted a photo of her most recent shipment... well my eyes went right to this red and I had to make a trip downtown to scoop some up. If possible, it’s even more stunning in person. ♥️ . I’m planning a colourwork mitten design for these beauties, but am dreaming of yoked sweaters... . . . #knitweardesigner #knitweardesign #knitdesign #knitdesigner #knitdesigners #knitdesignersofinstagram #yarnporn #wool #tukuwool #tukuwoolfingering #twitter #kniterations #knitters #knittinglife #castoncastoff #castoncastoffnl

Happy July! My Designer Newsletter went out today (check your inbox!), and in it I discussed some of the most common pattern mistakes I see as a tech editor, and how you can avoid them. I had a busy June of tech editing patterns and it got me thinking about some of the issues I tend to see repeated over and over again. So I compiled a list that I'm hoping will help you ensure your patterns are just that much more polished when you send them along for editing. The better shape your pattern is in when you send it to me, the less time it takes to edit, which helps keeps your tech editing expenses as low as possible. . I hope you find it helpful! And if you aren't on my mailing list, you can see the accompanying blog post (plus sign up so you don't miss anything else!) by clicking the link in my profile. . I hope you have a productive week! . . . #kniterations #twitter #knitdesign #knitweardesign #knitdesigner #knitweardesigner #techedit #techeditor #techediting

Yes, I’m still working on my Ronan cardigan by @dreareneeknits in the stunning Donegal tweed I bought at @studiodonegal last summer. At this point I’m hoping to have it finished by the fall. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I adore this pattern, and this pattern/yarn combo are a match made in heaven! . . . #kniterations #andreamowrydesigns #andreamowry #ronancardigan #donegaltweed #studiodonegal #knittingpattern #knittingtherapy #knittingproject #knits #knitknitknit #twitter #ravelry

*Promo has ended!* . Today's the day! The Walter baby blanket pattern is now live on Ravelry. You can grab your copy for 15% off all weekend with coupon code WALTER (ends Monday, July 2nd). Swipe to see all the photos! (Check out the pattern using the link in my profile) . From the pattern: "Walter is a sweet, colour-blocked baby blanket with endless colour combination possibilities. The geometric motif is a neutral choice for any baby, making this blanket a great shower gift for parents-to-be. Worked in a soft, superwash wool for both warmth and ease of care, Walter is a great size for cribs, bassinets, and strollers." . The blanket is worked in four pieces. Each piece consists of four triangles that are joined seamlessly by picking up stitches. The pattern contains a schematic that gives a visual representation of how each triangle is picked up and worked. The pieces are then blocked and seamed together using a type of Mattress Stitch for Garter Stitch seams. . These colours were chosen to compliment a friend's very chic nursery. I can't wait to see all the creative colour combinations you come up with! . A big thanks to @castoncastoffnl for helping me get just the right colours for this beauty 😊 . . #kniterations #walterbabyblanket #knitdesign #knitdesigner #knitweardesign #knitweardesigner #babyknits #babyblanket #knitforbaby #knitsforbaby #garterstitch #garterstitchfordays #twitter #knittingpattern #knittinglove #knittinglife #babyknit #babyknits #knitdesigners #knitter #knitters #babyblanket #babyblanketpattern

Hi hi! Just wanted to pop in with a little info on a fun collaboration happening in July and August. I'm partnering with @hilorisyarnorium as part of their Cross Country Canada Road Trip KAL! They are "stopping" in Newfoundland this summer (not for the weather, obviously) and will be knitting up some In a Fog mitts and Wreckhouse cowls in Hilori's stunning yarns. You can check out Hilori's yarns by checking out her profile (@hilorisyarnorium), and check out the KAL on Ravelry using the link in mine. . #kniterations #twitter #xccroadtripkal #knitdesign #knitweardesign #knitdesigner #knitweardesigner #inafogmitts #wreckhousecowl #kal #canadianknitters #canadaknits

Doing some stash diving and I think this @tanisfiberarts Blue Label Fingering Weight really needs to be a new sock design. I love the subtle, moody purples! 💜🔮🍇☂️🦄😈 . #kniterations #twitter #ravelry #purple #tanisfiberarts #sockyarn #yarnporn #knitdesign #knitweardesign #knitdesigner #knitweardesigner #sockknitting #sockknittersofig #sockknitter
