I’ve been working on something new over the holidays and I can’t put it down! Just obsessed with this one, but may be the wrong time of year to get this test knitted..?! What do you think?

Help me decide!🤔

This year my gorgeous husband is getting a jumper for Christmas (he knows already 😂👀) but I can’t decide which is the right colourway to go with! I’m in two minds, more of the natural colour, or more of the navy? Let me know what you think!

I’m using this free pattern that I found on website but of course I could follow the pattern exactly without changing a small part! To be honest, I wasn’t in love with the blocks of colour as they look puckered, and if your tension isn’t great with colour knitting this is not ideal. So I’ve kept the same number of rows and colours but tweaked the design to something I’ve had in my head for a while. Take a little look at all my figuring out to get the right one though! ➡️

Only a couple of days to go until the Dot & Dash Vest is released! 🙌🏻 If this one’s been on your list, make sure to mark Sunday in your diary—that’s launch day!

I’ve been living in this camisole every time the sun shows up ☀️ and I can’t wait to keep wearing it through the warmer months. It’s a relaxed fit with gentle positive ease at the bust and optional waist shaping, so you can tailor it to suit your style and shape. I really hope you love this one as much as I do ✨

Our testers are just wrapping up, and it’s been such a joy seeing all their versions come in—each one is so beautiful and unique 💖

And… I’ve got a little surprise coming your way in the next few days (fingers crossed 🤞🏻 I can get it all wrapped up in time). I’m trying to finish everything before heading back to work on Monday 😬 I still can’t quite believe maternity leave is nearly over 😢

✨ Swatch time! ✨
I’ve been experimenting with stitch ideas using Isager Trio 1, and I’m loving how this yarn works up. It’s all plant fibres, which give it such a lovely sheen, perfect for summer!

I’ve been playing around with some slipped stitch patterns (a new love of mine!) and I have to say, I love how they look in this yarn🫶🏻 They’re simple to knit but give such great texture and detail.

I’ve narrowed it down to four options:
1. Speckle Stitch – all about those slipped stitches!
2. Wavy Rows – as it says on the tin, a subtle statement
3. Slipped Grids – a bit more structured and geometric
4. Linen Stitch – smooth and woven with a lovely drape, but maybe a little too fine for what I have in mind 💭

I’m having a hard time choosing!
Which one’s your favourite? 🫶🏻🤔
