Another one of my favourite purchases from #pomfest2017 was this gorgeous needle book from @acollinsdesigns. Swipe to look inside
Designing for me often starts with as much un-knitting as there is knitting! Anyone else?
Guess who went to a knitting fair and bought sewing patterns? 🙋 • I am so excited to start on these! I also bought some black linen and some white linen so that I can make a couple of #thecamberset tops. Once I have done that, I need to decide which dress I make first... I'm focusing on making them in basic solids at first and then using some fun prints once my wardrobe is a bit more functional (I'm pretty lacking at the moment!)
Blocking these socks does wonders. Not only does the yarn get softer; the stitches even out and blend together nicely. My #gaufresocks have an unusual shape that I wasn't sure would work initially. The row gauge on the stitch is significantly different to the row gauge on the stockinette, meaning that it created a slightly banana shape foot. By balancing the length of the foot between both gauges, it means that they fit beautifully when worn. Success!
This photo features two of my new favourite things: my gorgeous speckley pink mug and my old jeans that feel new after lopping about 4 inches off the hem! I've always like these jeans for the way they fit on the waist and hips, but they were excessively long meaning that I never wore them. Now they are slightly cropped and feel like the perfect pair of summer jeans 🌞
This weekend, I had the pleasure of finally giving @rauwerk_wool's new merino yarn a big squeeze at #pomfest2017 💖 This stuff is absolutely gorgeous. So springy - I can already tell that it is going to have incredible stitch definition. I plan on making a cosy, textural Winter hat in this. I can't wait to cast on now!
