#strandedcolorwork

Wip Wednesday! Actually took time to take photos in daylight. Blue sweater is the Lumme pullover. Worsted weight- going to be a deep winter sweater. Rust sweater is the Nordic Nights pullover. Going to bind off the body tonight! And then sleeve city for both of them before too long.

Y’all know we love a great colorwork sweater! And recently @unwind_knitwear has revamped her pattern: “The Lost City”, and @trnchd knit this beautiful sample using our Roan DK in “Static”, as the main color ✨ ✨🧶We have restocked our Roan DK, including “Static”, if you are looking to make a Lost City Sweater of your very own #Repost @trnchd ・・・ The Lost City updated version by @unwind_knitwear is out today! Check out Rachel’s post for an early bird discount code. This was her first colorwork sweater that’s been redone with better grading and instructions. The best part is how customizable it is. So many of us testers split for the sleeves in between different colorwork sections and added or subtracted length we needed. This was on my knit list for a few years and I’m glad I was able to cross it off with this test knit. I decided to go crazy with the colors and I think it paid off. No need to be this ambitious, a 2-color or even 3-color without needing to hold 3 colors at the same time looks great too. I paired 3 Selvage DK colors with Primrose Yarn Co’s Roan DK, a base I’ve been meaning to try, and I’m glad I did. It has a rustic feel with the superwash and non-superwash fibers, and gets softer after a wash. @primroseyarnco Roan DK in Static Selvage DK in Summer Breeze, Edge of the Ocean, and Laguna I’m calling this my Lost City of Atlantis sweater as a mash between the pattern name and the ocean greens and blues I used 😂 #knit #knitting #sweater #knitsweater #sweaterknitting #slowfashion #colorwork #colorworkknitting #colorworksweater #strandedcolorwork #handknit #unwindknitwear #primroseyarnco #trnchd #unwindthelostcity (at Primrose Yarn Co.) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp5Hip9uWE5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s been almost two years since I did any knitting so it took my a few days to get back up to speed. Knitted this swatch to practice stranded color work again. The ribbing confused me the most, took me the longest to figure out how to keep all the strands on the backside. And I really kick myself not writing down the method of knitting my doll sweaters. Spent a lot of time messing with gauges. Felt like reinventing the wheel all over again. But I feel like I’ve got it figured out now so will try to knit some actual doll sweaters again ☺️ #StrandedKnitting #StrandedColorWork #FairIsleDollSweaters #knitting #KnitDollClothes #BJDknitting #FairIsleKnitting #LegitBJD #BallJointedDoll #BJD #BJDsewing #BJDclothes #DollClothes https://www.instagram.com/p/CqgeZfVP1g2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My Lopi sweater by @sweaterfreakknits is live on Ravelry! Love the design and sweater for so much! ❤ ️Thank you so much Jenny! ❤️ #mylopisweater #otrutaknit #knittedsweater #colorwork #roundyoke #knittingintheround #topdownknitting #strandedcolorwork #knittersofravelry #knittersofig https://www.instagram.com/p/BqaSt91jRkI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xxlqb6dlav6g

I bought the kit for this years ago. Started them last year and they ended up being too small so 🐸🐸🐸. Time to start over. It's looking so much better than the first attempt and fits perfectly. I think my #strandedcolorwork game is pretty solid these days. And is it weird that I love the inside of these #mitts almost as much as the outside? . #mittswithpintson #spillyjane #knittersofinstagram #knittting #knittingforothers #mittens https://www.instagram.com/p/BsmDJqVj7CO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ort8ff2v3iz5

Successfully swatched, steeked, blocked, and dried. Now I’m ready to cast on the real thing! Swipe for a look at the wrong side of the swatch. I’m getting much more consistent in my float tension. #steeking #steek #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #gallowaycardigan #yarn #knitting #swatch #strandedknitting #strandedcolorwork #blue #cardigan https://www.instagram.com/p/BoZOXwwHjl0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13tybyhsflkd3

Progress on my gradient colorwork cowl. Pattern is the "Beware The Snow Cowl" by Kyla Lade. It calls for a garter stitch edge but I decided to substitute 1x1 corrugated rib for a more graphic look and added structure. Yarn is one of my Llift Colorwork Sets in "Holly King". #LladyLlama #LLFC #indiedyer #indiedyedyarn #strandedcolorwork #colorwork #strandedknitting #knitting #knittersofig #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofinstagram #nevernotknitting #knitallthethings #winter #yule #wip #onmyneedles #winterknits https://www.instagram.com/p/BrEVtaGFr5p/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=py4n2qjseu38
