Color work is so much fun to teach & I’m so proud of all my students at the @makerandstitch retreat! 😊 They made so much progress, learning to knit with yarn in both hands at once, getting even tension, choosing colors, playing with steeking (swipe for a video 😬), & even knitting colorwork while hiking with the help of enormous pockets! 😄 . . The cowl everyone was knitting is called Tolt River (inspired by @toltyarnandwool, but an indie project), & I’m planning to publish it for everyone soon. . . Those amazing pocketed pants are Arenite, a sewing pattern available from @sewliberated. . . 🌿 #makerandstitchretreat #andrearangelknits #colorwork #knitlove #knittingclasses #strandedknitting #placesyoucanknit #alterknitstitchdictionary
I had such an incredible time in Colorado last week at the @makerandstitch retreat. One of the major benefits was getting to spend time with some kind & skilled women like @sewliberated & @madebyrae who snapped this photo. And bonus, me & Meg were totally matchy. 😄 Big thank you to the @makerandstitch team & the other attendees - you all made it a wonderful experience! . . Wardrobe details: My cowl is Pacific Arches, my socks are my newest pair of Okanogan socks, my dress isn’t from a pattern, but the fabric is @robertkaufman Essex. @sewliberated is sporting her own designs, Gypsum skirt, Arenite pants, & Strata top from @taprootmag. . . 🌿 #handmadewardrobe #knitterfriends #makerandstitchretreat #andrearangelknits #andrearangeloutdoors #pacificarchescowl
While I was traveling I made a pair of Blueberry Paws mitts with my leftover @magpiefibers Domestic Fingering (I used the rest for a pair of Okanogan socks). Now I’m home & ready to block them. It’s a bit warm for them now, but I’m already envisioning what a great accessory they’ll be in the fall. 🍁 Wardrobe planning happening now! 😄 . . You can get this pattern in my book Rugged Knits. . . 🌿 #ruggedknits #blueberrypaws #andrearangelknits #knitstagram #knitlove #magpiefibers
Repost from @editrixemma who tested my Slanted Stripes Cowl. I love her cheery orange! My original sample went with me in my trip to Colorado for the few chilly moments we had. Link to pattern in profile 👉 "The cowl I tested for @andrearangelknits is now available on Ravelry: it's called #slantedstripes and it's a super quick and fun knit. I definitely want more of these on different colour combinations! #andrearangelknits #testknitting" Photo credit @editrixemma . . 🌿 #slantedstripescowl #andrearangelknits #knitlove #knitstagram
Just a last reminder that today’s the last day to get a big discount on Knit Stars 1.0 & 2.0! Link to the deal in my profile 👉 . . I captured this sweet flower pic in Denver, but I’m not sure what it is. Anybody know? . . 🌿 #andrearangelknits #knitstars #knittingclasses #beingoutside #colorado #flowers
I wove in my last end at the top of our hike yesterday & wore my shiny new Okanogan socks down the mountain. 🌲🏔I’m calling that “live blocking” 😅 . . I used @spincycle_yarns Dyed in the Wool for the main color, @magpiefibers Domestic Fingering for the cuffs, heels, & toes, & @swansislandco Natural Colors Fingering for the stripes. . . Pattern is Okanogan, and I recommend it for hiking - it’s got lots of great features that make it super functional (+ cute! 😄). Link in profile 👉 . . P.S. My hiking boots are @dannerboots. ✨ . . 🌿 #okanogansocks #fo #hikingsocks #sockknitting #andrearangelknits #makerandstitchretreat #knitstagram #knitlove #yarnlove #dannerboots
What do pattern designers do when they get together? Take photos of samples, of course! @sewliberated really went for it to get the shot of this new hat. The wildflowers here are perfect! . . We’re in Colorado at the @makerandstitch retreat. Check my last post & my stories for more shots of the retreat! I’m teaching colorwork & so enjoying my students & being in this gorgeous place! 💛🌲 . . Thanks to @madebyrae for snapping this behind the scenes shot! . . 🌿 #makerandstitchretreat #makerandstitch #andrearangelknits #beingoutside #andrearangeloutdoors #newpattern #knitdesign #knitlove
