Tesserae is now available as an individual pattern!🌿

Combining garter and mosaic, this shawl got it's inspiration from magical forest walks and returning to the cabin for a cup of hot cocoa🥰

Tesserae is 15 % off until the end of week with code RESPITE . Have fun!

🧶 #knitting #knitsky
Sanni is holding up a triangle shawl behind her back. The shawl starts with a lighter green section, then there's a section of mosaic knitting worked with both light and dark greens and finally the bottom is knit in dark green. Tesserae was originally featured in Making Stories Magazine Issue 14: Forest Respite, and got its inpiration from those magical forest walks and returning back to the cabin for a cup of hot cocoa. The sample uses @tukuwool Fingering in my favourite shades Rohto and Havu (received for the design).

If this isn't giving autumn, I don't know what is!🍂🧶

I'm not the only one diving all in for colourwork this autumn, am I?🤭

I was in a bit of a knitting slump recently, but turns out all I needed was colourwork🥰🍂

Rest Calm, the aran weight version of my grandpa cardigan design, is in need of some lovely test knitters🥰

The specs are exactly the same as with my latest release Remember Me: two styles of cable, optional shawl collar, relaxed style. Just a quicker knit in aran weight! Link in comments.

So so thrilled to be included in Laine Magazine's autumn issue Crossing Paths! My sweater design is called Paint a Forest🌲

The preorders are now open and pattern pages are up on Ravelry so you can peek through the whole collection!

#knitting #knitsky 🧶
The model is wearing a slightly tweedy forest green sweater, with drop shoulder construction and a round neckline. The sweater has a spruce-inspired slip-stitch cable panel running down the center front. Paint a Forest is knit in DK weight yarn, the sample uses Jalovilla's Räsy which contains Finnish wool and recycled wool producing the tweedy look.

Has anyone knit garments both in Lettlopi and Plötulopi held double?🧶 How do they compare in the finished objects in terms of feel, wear etc.?

I've only used Lettlopi and am intriqued by a garment in Plötulopi, but I think one strand might be too thin for what I'm planning🤔

Happy release day to the Moondance Cardigan by @sannipauliina.bsky.social
🌙🌙🌙

This design was a pleasure to test knit. I was working from stash, so I threw in a fun variegated 🧶 to meet yardage. I love how it looks dancing around the suri stripes.

I've been really craving a new cowl cast-on, but have some deadline knits to finish first. But I've already designed fair few!
