My Windswept sweater is at the stage where the body would be fine by now - if I didn't keep doing to check if it was long enough yet 🤣 I'm at that peculiar stage of sweater knitting where I measure and it says 13", then I knit solidly for 20 mins and remeasure - still 13" Surely this defies all natural laws? #knitters #tricot #tricoter #knittersoftheworld #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #yarnlove #everydayknitter #i_loveknitting #knitlove #knitlife #knitstagram #instaknit #knitting_inspiration #iloveknitting #knitaddict #wearethemakers #makersofig #livecreatelove #indiedyer #indieyarn #blogeveryday #stashdash #nailsandknitting #jamberrynails #jamcure #freeupmyinsta

I'm really pleased to be able to hit the publish button on a new shawl design. Morning Pages is a warm woolly hug of a shawl, knit in 3 skeins of Cumbria from @thefibrecompany - which is a worsted weight yarn. The yarn is lofty and woolly and a total delight to work with. The sample uses 2 skeins of a beautiful grey - Scafell Pike and a skein of Buttermere. And just because everyone wants to knit a huge woolly shawl in a summer heatwave there is an early bird discount price until June 3rd. Just click the link in the bio and use code EARLY MORNING. . . . . . #knitters #tricot #knittersoftheworld #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #yarnlove #designersofinstagram #knitlove #knitlife #knitstagram #instaknit #knitting_inspiration #iloveknitting #knitaddict #wearethemakers #makersofig #livecreatelove #louisetilbrookdesigns #indiedyer #indieyarn #blogeveryday #knitlife #neverenoughshawls #shawllove #shawlknitting #grellow #grellowlove #mustardmakes

I'm not generally a fan of Rowan yarns but I'll make an exception for Rowan Felted Tweed - the colours, the texture and the lightweight nature of this yarn means that this is one of my favorites to knit with. In my increasingly futile attempts to reach my 10k #stashdash goal I have resorted to pulling out long forgotten WIPs. This one is Windswept by @tincanknits which I conservatively estimate to be at least a year old. I had done the yoke, separated the sleeves and then stalled. Then I forgot where I was in the lace panel. To my shame though it only took 10 mins to sort it out and I was back on track. #knitting_inspiration . . . . . #knitters #tricot #tricoter #knittersoftheworld #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #yarnlove #knitlove #knitlife #knitstagram #instaknit #handmadewardrobe #iloveknitting #knitaddict #wearethemakers #makersofig #livecreatelove #makersgonnamake #slowfashion #yarnlovechallenge

Looking back on this photo, taken a few weeks ago now with a smile. I had just been to visit Loop and then went for a drink and a survey of our purchases with @martineeellis @katestwirl and @little__greygirl The outdoor cafe was chosen for its ambiance and funky deer head tablecloths! Trying very hard to keep positive thoughts in mind at the end of what has been a very trying week. Nothing major but a copyright infringement here, an unpleasant customer encounter there - all adds up to the kind of week I'd rather forget. So, today I'm going to find an hour for myself, drink coffee and cast on something new and gorgeous whilst pretending I am spotting man buns in trendy Islington. #knitters #tricot #tricoter #knittersoftheworld #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #yarnlove #everydayknitter #designersofinstagram #knitlove #knitlife #knitstagram #instaknit #knitting_inspiration #iloveknitting #knitaddict #wearethemakers #makersofig #livecreatelove #louisetilbrookdesigns #indiedyer #indieyarn #blogeveryday #knitlife #yarnstagram

Am really loving this Knit Me shawl - pattern by @inspirationknits. As written, the pattern has a deep garter stitch border and a stocking stitch body but because I'm incapable of leaving a pattern alone without fiddling I am doing the whole thing in garter stitch. I really need to go and find my longer cable though - I'll be needing it before long. #knitters #tricot #tricoter #knittersoftheworld #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #yarnlove #everydayknitter #knitlove #knitlife #knitstagram #instaknit #knitting_inspiration #iloveknitting #knitaddict #wearethemakers #makersofig #livecreatelove #neverenoughshawls #indiedyer #indieyarn #blogeveryday #knitlife

I absolutely love these summer themed stitch markers. They were included in the summer yarn club from @west_green_loft_yarns and I think this one is my favourite. It's not making my sweater knitting go any faster but sometimes a change of stitch marker is needed to liven things up a little. Repeat after me... I will finish the body today... I will... #knittersofinstagram #summerknitting #knitters #tricot #tricoter #knittersoftheworld #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #yarnlove #everydayknitter #knitlove #knitlife #knitstagram #instaknit #knitting_inspiration #iloveknitting #knitaddict #wearethemakers #makersofig #livecreatelove #indiedyer #indieyarn #blogeveryday #stitchmarkers #myhappyplace #thesimplethings #simplethingsmadebeautiful

This yarn is unbelievably soft and squishy. It practically leapt out of the parcel at me and insisted that it would like to be a cowl please. Who am I to argue? Yarn is baby alpaca in the Aquamarine colourway from @weareknitters. #knitstagram #knitlove #knitters #tricot #tricoter #knittersoftheworld #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #yarnlove #yarnlovechallenge #collectivelycreate #tfispring #wearethemakers #makersofig #livecreatelove #knitlife #iloveknitting #instaknitter #inspirationiseverywhere #knitting_inspiration #louisetilbrookdesigns #designersofinstagram #creativehappylife #knitaddict

It's been ages since I used anything other than sockweight yarn and I'm amazed at how quickly this yarn is knitting up. Onto the third and final ball soon. This is going to be one super squishy cowl when it's finished. #knitstagram #knitlove #knitters #tricot #tricoter #knittersoftheworld #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #yarnlove #yarnlovechallenge #collectivelycreate #knitaddict #wearethemakers #makersofig #livecreatelove #knitlife #iloveknitting #instaknitter #yarnlover #i_loveknitting #best_knitters #weareknitters #coffeeandknitting #morningknittersunite
