Stylish and Fun Knitting Patterns
This cowl has been on my mind for months and I’m so glad to be sharing it with you at last! I had the idea around October last year for a ribbed cowl with a gorgeous drapey neck. The design evolved to have alternating ribs on either side of a central spine, but the border […]
Back in October when I was knitting Buinne and Fearthainn which weren’t particularly portable projects, I picked out a skein of yarn from my stash and cast on a couple of toes but then I got stuck deciding on a pattern (by someone else) to use. Eventually, I decided that the cable pattern from Lùbach […]
If you’ve been following me on Instagram over the last few weeks, you’ll have seen a lot of Suainte as I’ve been knitting away almost monogamously to get back on track with my (self-imposed) deadlines! I fell for this gorgeous twisted rib trellis pattern a while ago and I’ve been looking for opportunities to use […]
Rain, rain, rain… That’s pretty much what it’s done for the last week here – it almost makes me want to go back to the colder frosty mornings! At this time of year, we all need something cosy to snuggle into so I came up with Fearthainn. It’s DK weight so it’s nice and cosy […]
Buinne had a tricky start in life, it has to be said. Choosing the yarn was easy. I was looking around for a single ply yarn and I came across this absolutely stunning Fresh Water colourway from FruitfulFusionDyes and I knew it would go beautifully with this Indigo from Cosmic Strings. And with these two […]
Lùbach wasn’t in my plans for this year. After Dealas my next pattern was supposed to be a Brioche cowl (as I told my newsletter subscribers). Things didn’t go to plan with the Brioche cowl though, and I had to redesign it a couple of times until I was happy with what I had. As […]
It’s about time for a new fingerless mitts pattern, isn’t it? I’m now spending a lot of time standing around in the playground waiting for the bell to ring – either to drop my son off or to pick him up — and it’s definitely getting colder out there! The Socks in Love collection may […]
This is it! The summer holidays are nearly over and the Socks in Love collection is complete, and what better way to finish it off than with an all over pattern called Beloved? Gaolach is a super easy pattern, with a really easy to memorise pattern which makes it a fantastic travel project – something […]
It’s been an adventure getting this one ready for you! We did a photo shoot on Monday (because I forgot to block my socks in time for the weekend – oops!). Then when I was selecting and editing photos on Tuesday, a weird windows bug wiped all the photos from my computer. Of course I’d […]
Before we start talking about Togair, can I just mention how perfect socks are as summer holiday knitting? Easy to pick up and put down if someone starts screaming, you’re never too far from the end of a round (or a needle – I tend to think of it this way!), there’s no big pile […]
