  • When Helen @curioushandmade mentioned a MKAL shawl and asked if we’d like to put some kits together we dived straight into the dye pots... . . The #stillnessmkal is inspired by still-life painting and we’ve come up with three shade combinations (all developed just for this KAL) that evoke lavender & lilac, antique pewter and retro fruit bowls... . . It’s a three skein, three colour shawl and the first pattern clue will be released on the 25th June (sign up to Helen’s newsletter for all the advance details) so there’s plenty of time to decide which combination captures your mood and get your order in. We’ve got kits in stock on Rig | Sock or a gorgeous new yarn base Lythe | fingering/4ply which is a luxurious blend of superwash merino, silk, and yak and naturally has a soft grey colour so produces warm, subtle, heathered shades... . . You’ll find them both in our shop by searching for ‘curious handmade’ or heading to Yarn Kits. . . Once the in-stock kits have sold out we’ll dye to order until the pattern launches! . . #curioushandmade #mysteryknitalong #shawlknittersofinstagram #shawlknitting #knitstagram #woollove #meadowyarn #colourlover #knitlove #yarnlove #colourtherapy #indiedyersofinstagram #playingwithcolour #indiedyers #indiedyed #yarniesofinstagram #knittersoftheworld #creativelifehappylife #handdyedyarn #yarncollector #yarnstagram #everydayknitter #colourinspiration #knittersofravelry

  • I unravelled my half-knit ‘the twigs’ sweater last week... and that was a painful experience! But, after I’d blocked it and tried it on, and then performed drastic neck surgery, and then tried it on again, and it still sat too high on my neck and pulled across the shoulders I decided I’d had enough, which is a shame because I *really* wanted to wear it. The thought of re-knitting it though is just not doing it for me. All those endless rows of unmemorisable (that’s a words, right?) colourwork... nope. . . So, I picked up my ‘the green’ (except mine is moody maroon) again. I’d slowed on this with just a sleeve-and-a-half to go, again with some ‘fit’ worries but I’ve tried it on and it’s all good so, in all this hot sticky weather we’re due at the weekend, I guess I’ll be knitting mohair sleeves! 😆 . . Right, I’m off to the dye pots, there are exciting things in progress but more on that later! 💫 . . #ankestrick #sweaterknittersofinstagram #yarnlove #lovecolour #knittersofravelry #knitlove #woollove #knittingseason #indiedyersofinstagram #indiedyed #handdyedyarn #knittersoftheworld #indiedyers #yarnstagram #creativelifehappylife #meadowyarn #knitstagram #everydayknitter #yarniesofinstagram #yarncollector #makersofinstagram #makemoremagic
