POUL is the second sweater that I designed for @woolfolk_yarn, using their TOV DK yarn. Swipe to see the details 🤩 It was my first unisex design, which was so much fun! My own personal style can err on the slightly masculine side (I don't like to wear anything too fussy) so it felt like a good match for my design sensibility. POUL has the best stitch pattern - super simple but graphic and interesting. I love the proportions of the two versions as well - check out the variations in rib length! Also, can we discuss these amazing photos from Woolfolk?! 😭 It gives me all the feels to see my sweaters together like that. I've managed to convince Ulysses that we need matching sweaters, so that's going to happen at some point!

I went to a really beautiful workshop hosted by my friend @alexcollinsdesigns today. It was so much fun! Alex walked us through all of the steps involved in designing your own block prints, including sketching it out, carving your block and making your final prints. As a complete beginner in printing, I was absolutely delighted with the outcome. I printed a set of notecards and my own project bag (photos in my stories). I will use them with pride! I think she plans on doing more workshops, so if you get the chance to attend one, I couldn't recommend it more. It was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon and now, I have a new, practical craft to enjoy! #sistermountain #alexcollinsdesigns #blockprinting #printmaking #linocut #makersgonnamake #makers #maker #makersmovement #handprinting #linoprinting
Earlier this year, I had the joy of designing two sweaters for @woolfolk_yarn 's FW18 collection. This is my ARNE sweater in Woolfolk Tynd. I think it might be my favourite sweater design ever! It is super light and fluid and those sleeves are sooooo special. Swipe to see the shaping! You can download the pattern via the link in my bio 😊 I will post about my other sweater, POUL, very soon. #sistermountain #woolfolk #woolfolkfw18 #knitting #knitter #knittersofinstagram #knittersoftheworld #handmadewardrobe #memadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #slowwardrobe
Six months ago, Mother Mountain asked me for a #rilohat for her birthday and of course, I agreed! Her birthday has been and gone 🙈 but thankfully, she is a patient woman. I am using @lamanayarns Como, which I've never used before but it feels nice to knit with. It's finer than the suggested yarn, but Mum wants something with more negative ease anyway. I've had more time to work on this hat recently, so it has grown a lot! Only a couple more rows until I start the crown shaping. It will be ready just in time for when the cooler weather arrives 🍁🍂 If you'd like to knit Rilo, it's a free pattern of mine!

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
