#bangoutasweater is done! 8 days to a finished #soldotnacrop and I absolutely love how it turned out. And it was done just in time to wear out for our anniversary date night! #handmadewardrobe #handknitsweater #handknitting #knittersofinstagram #slowfashion #thoughtfulfashion #handmadeisbetter #imakeprettythings #makersgonnamake https://www.instagram.com/p/BxBjtvoJIAF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1trrzepomj15t

#bangoutasweater day 6 and my #soldotnacrop is progressing so nicely! I have about a half inch more on the body before I start the ribbing and then sleeves, ends, and blocking. I can’t wait to wear this! #handknitting #handknitsweater #strandedcolorwork #slowfashion #thoughtfulfashion #handmadewardrobe #handmadeisbetter #imakeprettythings #makersgonnamake #knitfastdiewarm https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw5zH5lp1As/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yxrpm46iwa6t

#bangoutasweater continues and it just keeps looking more and more gorgeous! This #malabrigo #susurroyarn is so gorgeous and I want to #knit all the things in it forever. My overly optimistic goal is to have this #soldotnacrop done this week #slowfashion #handmadeisbetter #thoughtfulfashion #handmadewardrobe #imakeprettythings #makersgonnamake #knitfastdiewarm https://www.instagram.com/p/BwvrMJJJv_X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1klbrqctd02bb

Taking a break from the designing to #bangoutasweater and I couldn’t be happier with how this #soldotnacrop is looking. This yarn practically glows and this is going to be in heavy rotation in my #handmadewardrobe #slowfashion #handmadeisbetter #thoughtfulfashion #makersgonnamake #imakeprettythings #knitfastdiewarm #handknits https://www.instagram.com/p/Bws_VXqJDky/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18gsg1a0f2ty3

It only took 1.5 tries to get the waistband to line up. Personal best! #invisiblezippersuccess #handsewing #handmadewardrobe #slowfashion #thoughtfulfashion #margueritedress #handmadeisbetter #makersgonnamake #imakeprettythings https://www.instagram.com/p/BvtqZ-TlSYc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=192igc34y10fa

It’s spring and this gorgeous cotton/linen blend is calling out to me. I think that bright blue color wants to come home with me and become a #knittedtee that I can wear all summer. Anyone else get the urge to make summer weight clothing right about now? #handmadewardrobe #slowfashion #handmadeisbetter #knitallthethings #handknit #makersgonnamake #imakeprettythings https://www.instagram.com/p/BvhyACYlC5w/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i68s5dxhrynh

These beauties came home with me today from #fibreswest2019 and I’m super excited to design something for @puzzle_tree_yarns out of them. You will not believe how soft this yarn is. I can’t wait to get it on my needles!! #handknit #yarn #originalpatterndesign #knittingpatterndesigner #imakeprettythings #makersgonnamake #knitfastdiewarm https://www.instagram.com/p/BvYA1GHF11u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hxq97psg6owl

My #compasssweater by @tincanknits is finally done! The yarn is by @abundantearthfiber and I #handdyed the grey color myself. I absolutely love how this looks and I can’t wait for it to dry so I can get a couple of wears in before it’s too warm! #handknitsweater #handknitting #handmadewardrobe #knitfastdiewarm #imakeprettythings #imakeprettythingswithyarn #handmadeisbetter #makersgonnamake https://www.instagram.com/p/BvSujtzFlo3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9o8lg9gufba4

Current spin is this never ending lace weight silk/wool blend. I love the rich colors and I’m thinking of playing with some lovely bronze colored silk thread. I can’t wait to see it finished! #handspinning #handspunyarn #makingyarn #laceweightyarn #imakeprettythings #schachtmatchless #makersgonnamake https://www.instagram.com/p/BvRhjG1lC12/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d931qy6m70wp

Taking a knitting break to work on my first #weaving project. I have a brand new #rigidheddleloom that I’m getting to know. This seems to be the next step in my #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #making journey and I’m excited to see where it goes. Already thinking about weaving cloth for clothes!! #handmadeisbetter #imakeprettythings #makersgonnamake #rigidheddleweaving #handwoven https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs3j6qlFKt-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19n4ewfpagqo6

#12daysofhintermost day 12. I’m really happy with my progress on this project over the past 12 days. I have both sleeves done and kind of blocked and I’m halfway through the colorwork section on the body. I’d really like to have the whole thing done by the end of January 🤞#handknitcardigan #handknitting #handmadeisbetter #handmadewardrobe #slowfashion #knitting #strandedcolorwork #imakeprettythings #makersgonnamake https://www.instagram.com/p/BsUZ0vLlgDc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2nrn4i7xxh2w
