So that @shelridgeyarns DK I picked up at @castoncastoffnl last week... I mentioned in my story that I wanted to use for a baby suit, but I didn't want to knit the thing from the bottom up in a zillion pieces and seam it, I wanted to re-engineer it from the top down in one piece, because I have SO much free time...⠀ .⠀ Well, here's how it's looking! I got all the stitch counts figured out, and I fiddled around a bit with the raglan increases to get them to look right, but I'm super pleased with how it's turning out! This yarn is lovely to work with and the colour is so beautiful. 💙💚💙💚💙⠀ .⠀ Next I have to figure out the leg decreases... ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #kniterations #twitter #castoncastoff #castoncastoffnl #shelridgeyarns #shelridgeyarnsdk #wool #lovewool ⠀ #indiedyersofinstagram #indiedyer #indiedyers #babyknits #knitsharelove #alwaysknitting #knitknitknit #knitfastdiewarm #knitoholic #knitallthethings #knitlife #knitspiration #knitlove #knittinginspiration #knittersofig #knittersoftheworld #knits #knitting_inspiration #knittingaddict #instaknit #knittersofinstagram

This colourway! 😍😍😍 Picked up this lovely @hypothesisyarns bulky weight at @castoncastoffnl yesterday and cannot wait to work with it! I see a hat in my future. . . . #kniterations #twitter #hypothesisyarns #castoncastoff #castoncastoffnl #yarn #yarnporn #wool #knittersofinstagram #knit #knitting_inspiration #knitknitknit

We went out of town this weekend and I didn’t spend much time on social media. I don’t think I opened Facebook once. Before we left, I did capture this time lapse of me winding 3 skeins of fingering weight to bring with me. You know, just in case the two WIPs I had packed got magically finished in less than 48 hours. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #knitterproblems . #kniterations #twitter #yarnporn #yarnlove #knitsharelove #alwaysknitting #knitknitknit #knitfastdiewarm #knitoholic #knitallthethings #knitlife #knitspiration #knitlove #knittinginspiration #knittersofig #knittersoftheworld #knits #knitting_inspiration #knittingaddict #instaknit #knittersofinstagram

I received this stunning yarn from @knit_picks this week for a couple of secret projects. The colours are incredible! 😍 . From right to left: 💜 Knit Picks Hawthorne Fingering Kettle Dye in "Turkish Delight" 💛 Knit Picks Hawthorne Speckle Hand Paint in "Tie Dye Speckle" 💚 Knit Picks Stroll Tonal in "Cold Stream" . Can't wait to swatch with these beauties later today! . . #kniterations #twitter #yarnporn #yarnlove #knitpicks #hawthornefingering #strolltonal #wool #lovewool #knitsharelove #alwaysknitting #knitknitknit #knitfastdiewarm #knitoholic #knitallthethings #knitlife #knitspiration #knitlove #knittinginspiration #knittersofig #knittersoftheworld #knits #knitting_inspiration #knittingaddict #instaknit #knittersofinstagram

***Promo has ended!*** . ✨NEW PATTERN RELEASE!✨ . Eversweet is now live on Ravelry (link in profile), and: ✔️Free for Fan Club tier Patrons ✔️25% off for newsletter subscribers ✔️15% off with coupon code EVERSWEET if you don't fall into either of the above categories (I got u 😉) . Since I have been talking about pattern naming this month, here's the story behind the pattern name (fellow Newfoundlanders will feel me on this): . "Eversweet margarine, produced and distributed only in Newfoundland (in Canada’s first margarine manufacturing plant), was a staple in many Newfoundland homes before the plant in St. John’s was closed in 2004. Grandmothers across the province undoubtedly still have some of the signature bright yellow tubs squirrelled away for storing everything from sewing supplies to leftovers. . The sample was knit in a vibrant yellow reminiscent of its namesake’s iconic yellow packaging (so iconic you’ll find the logo on t-shirts, in artwork, and even painted on garbage cans). " . The two-round pattern repeat is easily memorized, making for great TV knitting. Eversweet looks great in solid and tonal yarns, or in a self-striping colourway for a zig zag effect. . Follow the link in my profile to download your copy (you can also join my Patron Fan Club and/or sign up for my newsletter at that link). . . . Yarn is @loghousecottage Squishy Sock from @castoncastoffnl! . #kniterations #twitter #knitdesign #knitdesigner #knitweardesign #knitweardesigner #knitweardesigners #knitweardesignersofinstagram #yarnporn #yarnlove #newknittingpattern #knittingpattern #patternsale #knittingpatternsale #castoncastoff #castoncastoffnl #wool #lovewool #indiedyersofinstagram #indiedyer #indiedyers #sockknitting #sockknitter #handknitsocks #knittersoftheworld #knits #knitting_inspiration #knittingaddict #instaknit #knittersofinstagram

I've also written an accompanying blog post, so if you missed the newsletter, you can still check out the content by clicking the link in my profile! . (Be sure to sign up (link also in profile) so you don't miss out next month!) . Do you have any tips or tricks you use when coming up with names for your own patterns? I'd love to hear how others deal with pattern-namer's block! . . . #kniterations #twitter #knitdesign #knitdesigner #knitweardesign #knitweardesigner #knitweardesigners #knitweardesignersofinstagram #techeditor #techediting #lifeofatecheditor #techeditorforhire #techeditorsofinstagram #thegrindisreal #selfemployed #entrepreneurlifestyle #mycreativebiz #creativeentrepreneur #workfromanywhere #solopreneur #wednesdaywisdom #knitsharelove #alwaysknitting #knitknitknit #knitfastdiewarm #knitoholic #knitallthethings #knitlife #knitspiration #knitlove

ISO: Worsted weight sock patterns for self-striping yarns such as this incredible Opal XLarge from Zwerger Garn (all four are from last year's "Polarwolf" collection). I was considering creating a new design (interesting worsted weight sock patterns can be hard to find) but I really need to get some of this knit up before this year's colours arrive at @castoncastoffnl!! 🙈 . . . #kniterations #twitter #yarnporn #yarnlove #worstedweight #zwergergarn #castoncastoff #castoncastoffnl #wool #lovewool #sockknitting #sockknittersofinstagram #sockknitter #knitsharelove #alwaysknitting #knitknitknit #knitfastdiewarm #knitoholic #knitallthethings #knitlife #knitspiration #knitlove #knittinginspiration #knittersofig #knittersoftheworld #knits #knitting_inspiration #knittingaddict #instaknit #knittersofinstagram
