Repost from @ben_the_holladay. I love this Tolt River Cowl WIP shot. Check out Ben’s feed for more shots of this & some lessons learned that warm my knitting teacher heart. 💛 . . "Finally picking back up with the #toltrivercowl by @andrearangelknits ! I took a class at @fancytigercrafts with Andrea to hone my skills a several weeks ago, and it’s finally starting to feel normal knitting with yarn in each hand instead of just my left 😂. Can’t wait to finish this and try more!"⠀ ⠀ Photo credit @ben_the_holladay⠀ . . 🌿 #strandedknitting #andrearangelknits #knitlove #knitstagram #wip

Working on a blog post about finishing, so here’s how I weave in my ends using duplicate stitch. Swipe to see it done on the back side of colourwork. The same concept, but it looks slightly messier. The wonderful thing about duplicate stitch is that it doesn’t have to be perfect, but it’s pretty close to invisible on the RS & super secure. After I finish weaving in as much of the tail as I can I’ll block, then trim all my tails to about a half inch. . . My tapestry needle is from @kristanmacintyre & it can be stored on a necklace, which I love! . . 🌿 #howtovideo #duplicatestitch #knitstagram #knittingvideo #tutorial #knittingtutorial #andrearangelknits #knitlove
I love this shot captured by @byhandserial of a WIP. That’s @magpiefibers Swanky Sock & the pattern will be coming this fall. (I really need to schedule a photo shoot! I’ve got so many good things in progress!) . . You can preorder the issue of By Hand through the link in their profile (@byhandserial 👉) It’s a really beautiful celebration of the south coast of BC with wonderful features & patterns. 😊 . . 🌿 #byhandserial #wip #andrearangelknits #magpiefibers #strandedknitting #colorwork #knitlove #cowlknitting
You know how much I love @spincycle_yarns & trying a new colour of theirs is always an adventure. In keeping with my yellow theme, just look at this yellow! 💛 it’s Dream State in Salty Dog. . . It’ll be a contrasting colour in a yoke sweater that I am so excited about. I’ve already knit the smallest size to fit me & I’m currently working on a larger size with this spectacular yellow so I can show how great it looks in more sizes. I’ve always written patterns for lots of sizes (usually to fit about 31-58” bust circumference), but I really want to have them modelled in more sizes too. Knitting an extra sample is a lot more work, but I think it’ll prove to be totally worth it. . . 🌿 #spincycleyarns #spincycledreamstate #yarnlove #knitlove #yellow #wool #madeintheusa #andrearangelknits #knitdesign
Bring on some gloomy days, I’ve got my own sunshine! ☀️ This outfit is all handmade & I feel so good in it! Swipe for more pics of my spectacular yellow dress. ... ... Cowl is my latest - Tolt River in @localcolorfiberstudio Rambouillet DK. Link to pattern in profile 👉 ... ... Dress is a hack of @truebias Ogden. I raised the front neckline, cut the bodice & lining about the same length as my Metamorphic dresses, & added a gathered skirt (the width of my fabric) & giant patch pockets. It’s such a dream! I got the fabric at @fancytigercrafts. ... ... The top is the squishiest cotton waffle woven & sewn by @wovenwares. ... ... Socks are Okanogan & my boots are Duckfeet. . . 🌿 #handmadewardrobe #toltrivercowl #andrearangelknits #inmyduckfeet #okanogansocks #ogdencamidress #linenandwool #knitlove #strandedknitting #wovenwares #yellowdress #slowfashion #localcolorfiberstudio
✨ Repost from @toltyarnandwool ✨ . . I just love this low-contrast Tolt River Cowl! Have you cast yours on yet? . . I’ve been writing blog posts about this project to guide newbie colour knitters & anyone wanting a little guidance. Check out the link in my profile 👉 . . "Working on the Tolt River Cowl, a new pattern by @andrearangelknits . Loving this soft and squishy Verdant yarn by @abundantearthfiber . I chose to use light gray and white to get a subtle, less contrast, pattern but we also carry the dark gray if you want your colorwork to pop more."⠀ ⠀ Photo credit @toltyarnandwool⠀ . . 🌿 #toltrivercowl #andrearangelknits #abundantearthfiber #wip #knitlove #knitstagram #toltyarnandwool
