Last week, my dear friend and talented photographer @joymumfs and I took photos of my upcoming mini-collection, The Herbalist. I am absolutely delighted with how they came out! Joy got my vision immediately and took some absolutely beautiful shots - like this one! Look at that light 🤩 This is my #fennelshawl knitted in @thefibrecompany Luma. It has the best drape and texture - I can't wait to show you more! The collection launches a week today, so not much longer to wait now 😍 I hope you love it as much as I do! You can see more previews in my IG highlights. • (Also wearing my beloved linen #willowtank by @grainlinestudio) • • • #sistermountain #thefibrecompany #thefibreco #madewiththefibreco #tfclovesdesigners #shawlknitting #rectangularshawl #knitting #knittingaddict #iloveknitting #knitter #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #maker #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #handmadewardrobe #memadewardrobe #slowwardrobe #theartofslowliving
Last night, I shared my new yarn stash storage and wow! I got SO many DMs about it. So, I figured I should share it here too. I bought these linen/cotton blend boxes with a zipped lid from @muji_global. It has a plastic coating on the inside of the fabric that makes them perfect for protecting against moths! 🦋 I'm not a big fan of plastic, but for these purposes, I think it's the only way to make sure it's protected. They come in a couple of sizes, but I went for the 35x35x32 cm size and my modest stash fits in two of these boxes. You can fit a surprising amount of yarn in them! I really like that the fabric sides can collapse down, so that they can squeeze into small spaces. They also look soooo much tidier than the Ziploc bags I was using before. I think they will be more durable too, since I've been getting holes/rips in older plastic bags. I left some cedar wood sticks in each box to further repel any moth beasties. I have to say, I'm thrilled with this new storage solution and would recommend it to anyone who is struggling to store their stash. I have put up a highlight in my profile, in case you want more details. How do you store your stash?? #sistermountain #muji #mujiaddict #yarnstash #yarnstorage #yarn #yarnlove #yarnporn #yarnaddict #yarnlover #yarnlife #knittingaddict #knitting #knittinglove #knitter #knittersofig #knittersofinstagram #knitterproblems #knitterlife #maker #makersgonnamake #makersmovement
My evening has been made by @woolfolk_yarn sharing this fantastic image of Jan wearing an upcoming design of mine. Doesn't she look amazing? Those glasses 👓 I can't WAIT to show you!! It goes live in the Autumn. Hopefully, my evening will get even better when England beat Croatia 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #itscominghome • • • #sistermountain #woolfolk #woolkfolktynd #knitting #knittingaddict #knittinglove #knitter #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #maker #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #handmadewardrobe #memadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #theartofslowliving #slowfashion #slowwardrobe
How I'm spending my Friday night: crocheting my toast-inspired summer bag in my #summerofbasics dress and watching the world cup. I've crocheted and re-crocheted this bag over and over. I couldn't get it to lie perfectly flat, then I made two sides that were completely different sizes 😏 thankfully, @woolandthegang's #rararaffiayarn is very forgiving. A couple of days ago, I started from scratch again! It's not lying perfectly flat, but it's near enough and will be fine for a bag like this. I persevered with this because I think it's going to be such a treasure in my wardrobe! I love circular bags and I love raffia so it's a match made in heaven. Hopefully I can finish it in time for our trip to Italy 🤞 #sistermountain #woolandthegang #shareyourknits #crochet #crochetclub #crochetersofig #crocheting #crochet_relax #crochetaddict #crochetlove #makersgonnamake #maker #makersmovement #handmadewardrobe #memadewardrobe #memadeeveryday
I've just finished the first of my three projects for #summerofbasics - an olive green #ddmyosotis dress from @deer_and_doe_patterns. I used this midweight linen from @wearethefabricstore and it is absolutely lovely. It has the best drape! I can see why everyone raves about it. Again, it has a "permanent" crease in it from the roll 😏 (I assume?) But I have high hopes that I can get rid of it. I took this photo yesterday when I was still working on the bodice, but you can see the finished dress in my stories. This is a new colour for me, but definitely one that I will work with again. I love it! Are you doing summer of basics too? How are you getting on? #sistermountainsews #deeranddoe #myosotisdress #wearethefabricstore #sewing #sewingproject #sewinglove #sewist #sewistsofinstagram #sewistsgonnasew #maker #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #handmadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #memadewardrobe #slowwardrobe
Do you ever get into mini-obsessions with certain stitch patterns? I'm head over heels with faux cables right now 😍 This is something I swatched up for a rejected design submission (Cc: @sari_n_) that I really want to bring to life at some point. Swipe to see the design idea - it's the one in the middle! I think it will be beautiful in a yarn with a bit of drape to make the most of those wide kimono sleeves. What do you think? Should I go for it? #sistermountain #knitweardesign #knitweardesigner #knitting #knittingaddict #knitting_inspire #iloveknitting #knitter #knittersofinstagram #knittersoftheworld #knittersgonnaknit #maker #makersmovement #makersgonnamake #handmadewardrobe #memadewardrobe #memadeeveryday
