The Old Kingdom shawl is finished, just in time. The @longdogyarn.com Abhorsen collection closes tonight (10/31)

I love the whole thing, but I think the bell ruffle bind off is my favorite 🔔

#showmeyourknits Purple Week

The Ansgarius Cowl is knit using Madelinetosh Merino Light in color, “Mulberry”, (more of a pinkish lavender, but definitely within the purple family of colors). Origami style pattern made with twisted stitches.

Pattern on Ravelry at www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
The Ansgarius Cowl, a beautiful origami-style, three dimensional, knit design is shown against a large rock with a pink barnacle cluster next to it.

When I first started designing patterns for hand knitting, I was extremely fascinated with origami style knits. Once I learned the basic technique, I then created my own variation on the style with a triple twisted stitch, as seen here in my Ansgarius Cowl.

In today’s episode of “Stuck in Vermont”, Seven Days senior multimedia producer, Eva Sollberger, met with me and Amanda from Junction Fiber Mill. Hear the story of the Lindal Sweater and see the process of how this design was created.

Today’s #FiberuaryChallenge had me playing around with flat lays and I cannot get over how cute this cowl in progress is looking.

It’s worked up in a skein of DK from the Claws Out Yarn Co Boston collection — “Make Way for Ducklings” 🐥

The #FiberuaryChallenge prompt for the day is “A Pop of Color” and I will NEVER skip a chance to share my favorite fiber colors.

Like this sweater in progress, worked up in the most eyeball vibrating violet-fuchsia. I cannot wait to wear this one!

The #FiberuaryChallenge prompt today asks us to look forward, so what better than a WIP parade!

I’m hoping this is the year I finally stop being a pattern perfectionist and write up my sweaters (instead of just knitting them and being chicken)

While the pattern isn’t done yet, when the #ShowMeYourKnits prompt was sweaters, I couldn’t resist. I love this design and, most of all, I love that the hem sits dead level - no sad sweater ride up here, thanks to my lil collection of bust darts. 🧶

I shared my Stitchin’ Vermont vid but I neglected to share the sweater details about what I was wearing. Shameful! 🤣
The pattern is called Cardi Vest and it is a super satisfying quick-knit, totally adorable. Here are a few versions. And yes, instructions are included for a hood or shawl collar!

She’s stranding on green grass with a tree behind her. She’s wearing a white long sleeve tee and a turquoise, buttoned hand knit sweater vest. The buttons are orange, and coordinate with the colorwork on the sweater which is mostly hidden by the woman’s long, dark hair. She’s also touching her hood with her hands as it sits on her head.
