Today's #MarchMeetTheMaker is tools, and I , of co

Today's #MarchMeetTheMaker is tools, and I , of course, have all the usual knitterly tools, stitch markers and blocking things, scales and measuring tools, scissors and knitting needles. But honestly, what I use most is pencil and paper - for the designing stages and my computer for the pattern writing, charting, photo editing, website maintenance, and all the boring admin stuff!

For today's #MarchMeettheMaker we're talking about

For today's #MarchMeettheMaker we're talking about colour! This is always one of the biggest choices I have to make. Sometimes I have an obvious theme - like leaves or waves which will sway me one way or another, but a lot of the time I can pick whatever I like!

Today's #MarchMeetTheMaker prompt is "Decisions".

Today's #MarchMeetTheMaker prompt is "Decisions". I am naturally a very indecisive person, but being a designer everything I do comes with choices. My usual trick is to get my husband to choose for me and if I don't like his answer, that makes my choice for me! Some choices are easy though, like choosing @EdenCottageyarns Hayton 4 ply in Robin's Egg for my next mitt pattern! Isn't it gorgeous?

Today's #MarchMeetTheMaker is scenes, so I thought

Today's #MarchMeetTheMaker is scenes, so I thought I'd take you behind the scenes of one of my photo shoots! This is Driùchdan which I released in 2022. I used to go out and take the photos at castles or in forests, but then I had to model, my husband had to take the photos and after we had kids it just became a lot trickier to co-ordinate, so now I make do with my living room! Unfortunately it's not very big, so I have to clear most of the furniture out and put it in the other half of the room so it's quite an undertaking. Swipe to the end for my dog, Skye, who is not impressed with the disruption to her morning!

Today's #MarchMeetTheMaker is all about style. One

Today's #MarchMeetTheMaker is all about style. One of my favourite things to do with my my patterns is have a section of pattern where you have to pay attention, but leave the rest plain in either garter stitch or stocking stitch. I like to read while I'm knitting so this gives me plenty of easy knitting time with a little something to keep the pattern interesting both to knit and look at! This is one of the biggest style aspects you'll see repeated throughout my designs, done in a variety of ways.

[Image Description: 1. Crossed hands wearing fingerless mitts knit in blue yarn with a slipped stitch cable pattern running up the outside of each hand.
2. Modelled socks in blue yarn with a textured rib pattern running from toe to cuff up the outside of the foot.
3. A pink shawl with a lace mesh pattern and garter stitch wrapped around a mannequin with a silver shawl pin.]

Hello everyone! Today is the start of #MarchMeetTh

Hello everyone! Today is the start of #MarchMeetTheMaker and I thought it would be a great day to jump back into posting! I'm Liz and I design knitting patterns.

I focus on designs that will be fun and relaxing knits but still have plenty of visual interest. I write in a clear concise way and my patterns are suitable for anyone who has the basics down and is ready to challenge themselves a little more. I've been doing this since 2012 and my next pattern will be my 100th!

[Image Description: 1. Fingerless mitts in orange yarn with a twisted rib pattern that decreases to a point below the ring finger.
2. A close up on the toe of modelled socks with three panels of lace on the foot, knit in purple yarn.
3. A shawl with an arrow shaped lace border and garter stitch body of a shawl knit in pale yellow speckled yarn and draped around a mannequin.
4. A white woman with brown hair wearing a knitted shawl and cardigan smiling at the camera.]
