One of my test knitters @zealaura made a gorgeous version of the #parsleytank ❤️ so beautiful! She used the recommended yarn, @thefibrecompany Luma, which is soft with great drape and REALLY shows off those beautiful side panels. I love how she styled it with that linen skirt - so pretty, laid-back and summery. It is still perfect weather for wearing garments like this with no sleeves. Once it cools down a little, it will look super cute with a shirt underneath. • 📸 @zealaura #sistermountain #theherbalistcollection #thefibreco #thefibrecoluma #thefibrecompany #madewiththefibreco #tfclovesdesigners #knitting #knittingaddict #knittinglove #knitter #knitters #knittersofig #knittersofinstagram #makers #maker #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #handmadewardrobe #slowfashion #slowwardrobe #memadewardrobe
So here's my #summerofbasics Raffia bag, crocheted using @woolandthegang #rararaffia. Swipe to see the details 👆 I am over the moon with this bag, especially because I genuinely thought I might never make this work! I actually started designing this bag a couple of months ago as part of my holiday wardrobe planning, but as a novice crocheter, I messed it up SO. MANY. TIMES. I ripped it out about 5 times, started from scratch twice and questioned whether it was going to be worth all the work in the end. The final iteration of this bag probably only took a couple of weeks to make! It's easy once you know how, haha. To avoid stretching, I lined the bag in leftover olive linen from @wearethefabricstore, used in my #myosotisdress. I made a cute inside patch pocket and a strap for my keys, using the clasp from an old lanyard! It was an unexpected addition to my #summerofbasics, but I'm so happy to have this in my wardrobe. I plan on using it forever! #sistermountain #woolandthegang #crochet #crocheter #crochetersofinstagram #crochetersofig #crochetersoftheworld #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #memadewardrobe #slowwardrobe #slowfashion #makersgonnamake #makers #maker #makersmovement
Today is apparently the last day of our heatwave and tomorrow, will be almost 10° cooler! I think it will be perfect #parsleytank weather - definitely mild enough for a light knit. So many of you have bought this pattern - I think it must be the favourite from the collection! I am delighted that you love it so much. Has anyone cast on for it yet? • (P.S. If you haven't got the pattern yet, but you'd like to, you can download it via the link in my bio) #sistermountain #theherbalistcollection #thefibrecompany #madewiththefibreco #thefibreco #tfclovesdesigners #thefibrecoluma #knitting #summerknitting #knittingaddict #knittinglove #knitters #knitter #knittersofig #knittersofinstagram #makersgonnamake #makers #maker #makersmovement #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #memadewardrobe #slowwardrobe #slowfashion #imakemyclothes
I have been such a naughty KAL host! The deadline for my #haysweaterkal has been and gone and I'm still knitting the body 🙈😂 I'm thinking of running it a little while longer so that we can work on it when the weather is slightly cooler. As much as I love this @garthenor Shetland, it's making my palms SO sweaty in this heat! How are you coping with heatwave knitting? #sistermountain #haysweater #lainemagazine #garthenor #shetland #shetlandwool #knitbritish #britishwool #knitting #knittingaddict #knittinglove #knitter #knitters #knittersofig #knittersofinstagram #maker #makers #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #handmadewardrobe #memadewardrobe #slowwardrobe #slowfashion #imakemyclothes
I accidentally wore a full #summerofbasics outfit! Heading back to the UK, after a few days in the beautiful hills of Tuscany, I asked @ulysses_sean to take a photo of my outfit because I was wearing my new dress to the airport. Looking at the photo, I realised that I was wearing/holding all 3 of my Summer of Basics makes! #myosotisdress by @deer_and_doe_patterns in @wearethefabricstore olive linen. #tellojacket by @paulinealice_patterns in @wearethefabricstore blush linen. Improvised raffia bag in @woolandthegang #rararaffia. The last wasn't meant to be part of my lineup but I ended up ripping it and remaking it so many times that it ended up being an unexpected addition. I still plan to make my #yarijumpsuit by the end of the challenge. If you're interested in finding out more about my Tello jacket or my raffia bag, I have story highlights set up for them. I still need to set one up for my Myosotis dress. Are you taking part in @karentempler's Summer of Basics challenge? How are you getting on? #sistermountain #sistermountainsews #handmadewardrobe #memadewardrobe #memadevacation #memadecapsule #ddmyosotis #deeranddoe #paulinealice #woolandthegang #shareyourknits #sewing #sewingproject #sewingpatterns #knitterswhosew #maker #makers #makersgonnamake #makersmovement
I've never seen myself as a shawl person. I couldn't figure out how to wear them and they just never appealed to me. I think I was under the impression that they needed to be multi-coloured and lace - something that I can appreciate but doesn't work with my personal style. But since I started seeing people like @tete_beche making textural, solid colour shawls, I learnt to love them. Now, I'm rather excited to bring a few special shawls into my wardrobe! Because I don't wear my samples any more, I'll be making a #fennelshawl of my own this Autumn. I can imagine myself wearing this around the flat (since it can get super cold) and wearing it with my heavy coat in the winter. The rectangular shape makes it SO easy to wear. If you'd like to knit a Fennel shawl too, you can purchase the pattern on Ravelry via the link in my bio. I knitted this sample myself and can confirm that it was a super engaging, fun knit! #sistermountain #theherbalistcollection #thefibreco #madewiththefibreco #thefibrecompany #knitting #knittinglove #knittingaddict #knitter #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #makers #maker #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #handmadewardrobe #memadewardrobe #slowwardrobe #theartofslowliving #shawlknitting #shawlknittersofinstagram #shawlknitter
