Fanciful Fibres

Thought I'd get back into spinning this week with mixed results. I've managed to put together a 100g skein of this fingering weight rainbow and teal gradient merino.

Sometimes you need to take inspiration from the world around you. I really enjoyed designing this daffodil tam hat. It has a bit of a medieval vibe about it. Pattern incoming.

New Pattern release now available on Ravelry

These romantic valentine socks are worked cuff-down starting with 2x2 rib, followed by a colourwork leg. The short row heel is knit in one colour, followed by the colourwork foot. The toe is finished in one colour and grafted together using a Kitchener stitch.

After a bit of a delay the Bats and Rats Beanie pattern is up and available from my Ravelry and Etsy pages.

This spooky hat is worked from the bottom up in the round with a ribbed cuff, stranded colorwork in three colours, decreased with a moon phase design on the crown and finished by pulling the yarn through the remaining stitches.

A spooky season demands a spooky hat. The pattern for this beanie will be released in October
