Yarn highlights of my trip to @starlightknittingsociety in Portland: all the @spincycle_yarns & @ritualdyes.
I really love designing with @spincycle_yarns. Swipe for some of the collaborations I’ve done with them. 😊 If you’re in Portland this weekend, come to @starlightknittingsociety to see their amazing trunk show! . . Yes, that is the same yellow dress from yesterday’s post. 😄 . . Some of the other yarns I’ve paired with Spincycle yarns are @magpiefibers Domestic Worsted (Dissent sweater), @hazelknits Artisan Sock (Pacific Arches Cowl), @barenakedwools Confection Sport (Leaves in Water sweater from AlterKnit), & @ladydyeyarns Superwash Fingering (Light Through the Leaves). . . The patterns can all be found on my website & Ravelry.

My 2019 colour palette - lush gold on gold with grey & pops of pink. 😊 . . I’m headed to Portland, OR today to visit @starlightknittingsociety! I’ll be there this weekend with @spincycle_yarns (That shawl is their dreamy Independence yarn! 💛) & I’ll be teaching workshops. There are still a few spots left, so you can still join in! . . My outfit is Platinum or Gold shawl in @spincycle_yarns Independence, Dissent pullover in @daughterofashepherd Ram Jam, a linen dress hack of @truebias Ogden, improvised socks in @neighborhoodfiberco Studio Sock & @woolenboon Classic. My shoes were not made by me - they’re @duckfeetusa. . . 📷 @littleflorencemay 🌿 #platinumorgoldshawl #imademyclothes #spincycleyarns #dissentsweater #andrearangelknits #wool
Repost from @annabel_textiles: this Tolt River Cowl is so striking! . . "When I paired the skeins for @andrearangelknits #toltrivercowl I really wasn’t sure it was going to work, but the gold warms up the bluey purple and here it is in all it’s loveliness. And I’m now officially addicted to colourwork!"⠀ ⠀ Photo credit @annabel_textiles⠀ . . 🌿 #toltrivercowl #strandedknitting #knitstagram #colorwork #andrearangelknits
#swatchaweek: Knitting with @bichesetbuches Le Gros Lambswool. It’s plumper & more substantial than it’s lighter version (Le Petit), but it’s just as soft & still lofty. I knit my swatch with a US6/4 mm needle for an unblocked gauge of 19/28, but I think it would be happier with a little more room. I want to try it with a US8/5 mm too. . . 🌿 #swatch #swatchproject #bichesbuches #lambswool #yarnlove #andrearangelknits
I’m getting close to finishing this #wip - a sweater in @theyarncollective Hudson Worsted, a dreamy Merino/yak blend that was curated by @mishi2x. The sweater has some squishy brioche details that I’m completely in love with. Of course, I’m on version 2 of the collar cause so much of designing is about ripping out & trying again. . . 🌿 #knitdesign #andrearangelknits #theyarncollectivehudsonworsted #yak #merino #yarnlove #knitstagram #byrdandbelle
Representation matters & we have a long way to go. I’ve been reading @su.krita’s stories that share the experiences of people of color in our knitting community and I’m so grateful for the courage & generosity of everyone who has shared their stories & to @su.krita for passing them on to us. This is an important moment & an opportunity for us to take stock, to try to see where we’re excluding people of color, and to make concrete plans to do better. I’m talking specifically to my fellow white people. People of color have been hurt & excluded in our community & it’s our responsibility to work on ourselves & be actively inclusive. It’s long over due and we can’t let this moment just pass by.
#swatchaweek: knitting with a soft woolen spun lambswool this week. I adored @bichesetbuches Le Petit Lambswool, so I expect I’ll like this one too. It’s the worsted weight version & very lofty. . . 🌿 #swatch #swatchproject #wool #lambswool #bichesetbuches #yarnlove #andrearangelknits
