Hello everyone! I’m so excited to share my new pattern with you – my Spice Market Socks! They are made toe-up using the Mosaic method which means that you knit with only one colour at at time to create a colour pattern, as opposed to stranded colourwork or fair isle, which requires you to carry your colours along with you. The …

For a while now I’ve been thinking of doing a series of shawl designs for beginners, which focuses on a particular design element. To take that element and use it in different ways within the same projects to show how it affects the outcome. When I was new at knitting I would choose a pattern I liked and jump in, …

If you ever question my ability to procrastinate, here is the cold hard proof that I have mastered that skill. It was almost two years ago that I first showed my All Good Things cowl here on my blog. I had the best of intentions for releasing the pattern quickly, but then other projects and other things (moving house, injuries, etc) got …

Here is my completed Icarus blanket, with pattern for you to enjoy! You already had a fairly good idea of what it was based on my previous posts, but that’s ok! I have been busy taking photos and curling up with it on the terrace and I like it more and more each time I use it. It has also …

Last week I told you about the yarn selection for my Icarus Blanket design, and mentioned how I wasn’t sure what exactly I wanted to use for the actual stitch pattern.

You have probably hopped here from Esther’s blog hop post from yesterday, but there have also been some other great posts along the way! In case you missed any, you can find previous ones here on the Scheepjes Facebook page. …

** If you are making this tunic, please see the bottom of this post for errata information ** Today Scheepjes has released the sixth edition of their YARN Bookazine: FOLK edition, which means patterns, bold colours and fairy tale creatures. At least that’s what comes to my mind when I think of it and that’s definitely what I see when …

Yesterday I received my large kit for the upcoming Ubuntu CAL from Scheepjes. This beautiful heirloom blanket is designed by Dedri from Look at What I Made, the designer of the ever popular Sophie’s Universe CAL. This is only my second unboxing video and I seem to have a style. Meaning, no real method to my madness. It was recorded for …
