I'm currently blocking a stunning, if I do say so, shawlette I made for a sweet friend's birthday. I made a DK version of @xandypeters.bsky.social's Feather Flame pattern, using @isasaxonists.bsky.social's Republic of Yarnia Wintery Muse yarn from last year's Antiracist Craft Club. 🧶

My latest YT video has gone live & it's not a tutorial!
I explain how I developed my technique & why, & how it's different to other methods of creating colourwork with short rows. It's something I discuss in my book/classes/lectures, it was tricky trying to keep it short 🧶

If I found bug damage in a package of yarn that I had JUST OPENED, I'd take pictures. The one time I had an issue with damaged yarn, the pictures helped prove that UPS damaged the package and it was much easier to resolve. PICS BEFORE AND AFTER OPENING!!!

What's one knitting technique that you'll never try?
For me, it's Mosaic knitting. It's very similar to stranded color work, but only one yarn is worked at a time. I think it would feel tedious to me. #knitsky #fiberartist #knitting

My best #knitting advice is to listen to techno while you work on your project. It will speed up your stitches when you #knit to the beat of the music. Sandstorm by Darude is 136 bpm so it helps me work 68 purls per minute! #Fiberartist #knittothebeat

I’ve made all the mistakes and figured out my best tension for these holes with the cheap rainbow striping single ply at the bottom. Now I’m on to the actual project in a gorgeous gradient of burgundy red to bright green.
