Jiffy by Julie Knits in Paris is now available!
True to its name, this is an engaging knit that is hard to put down so it really does go in a jiffy! DK weight and no sleeve island either!

@jarbontextiles.bsky.social has their Annual 5 available for order now! I had the pleasure of testing the Zarauz Tee by Esti Juango. It’s a fun and engaging knit with endless colour combination possibilities. I used Yarnadelic Sport for mine 😁

They are not cables but a series of loops made as you knit, which are then successively fed one into the next to make the braid when you are at the end of where you want your line of the braid to end. There are videos that the designer has made to show how it is done 😃

I had the pleasure of test knitting the Braided Lines vest by @popeknits.bsky.social which is now available! The “braids” are not difficult to make and beads are optional 😁

Ceci Tee by Laura Nelkin is now available! This was a fun summer knit that has a little beaded bling to jazz things up. I knit mine in Manos del Uruguay Serena and did some minor modifications like repeating the beaded detail at the sleeves and opting for a picot hem than a straight up folded hem.

#wipwednesday commuter knitting project today is my Geddy Tee by Tanis Lavallée. The granny squares are so fun!! I used @cactusyarnstudio.bsky.social to make them and paired it with a merino linen blend from Manos del Uruguay to keep it summery 😀

They were fun to make. I had a little issue of trying to figure out how to secure the tassels as I found the instructions not very clear. They seem to be holding in place so far! 😁

Ok last one for #showmeyourknits purple 😁
Here’s my mash-up of @dreareneeknits.bsky.social Spark and Spice cardigans, which I knit up a few years ago in Ancient Arts Fibre Lascaux Worsted and @spincycle-yarns.bsky.social Dream State.

It was really great to meet the both of you too! 🤗😘

Yes for some and not really for the rest 😂. I’m not sure what I’ll do with that suri but yes, it really is quite lovely!

Fiona Boey @mockasian.bsky.social · May 18

My haul from #knitcitymontreal yesterday. It was a fun day out and great to have met so many lovely people!

This time last month I was sailing the. Chilean fjords. I’d rather be there than at work today 😂

Looking back for something grey for this week’s #showmeyourknits I have this cabled sweater - Texto designed by Zanete Knits, which she published in January last year. I used Nurtured from @lainesjulieasselin.bsky.social for this one and it’s super cosy 😃

I’ve just finished this summer tee designed by Esti Juango for @jarbontextiles.bsky.social and look forward to warmer days where I can get some good wear out of it. You’ll be able to have some fun putting colour combinations together to knit your own when Annual 5 comes out 😃
