Peace fleece is on my needles right now! 💛⠀ .⠀ .⠀ 🌿 @peace_fleece #wip #onmyneedles #knitstagram #andrearangelknits #knitdesign #peacefleece #wool #yarnlove
Just in case you really need a trash panda hat, there’s one available. 😄⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Also a reminder that designers may use motifs from AlterKnit for their own designs! 😘 It’s a regular stitch dictionary so the only limitation is that you just have to create your own layout - no photocopying or scanning the book. And I love hearing about pattern that use AlterKnit so let me know if you do. 💛⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Repost from @interweavecraft: "Our knitting pattern of the week is also the cover project for our new digital publication: knitscene Accents 2018! The Ring-Tailed Bandit Hat by Mone Dräger (@monemade) is knitted in Jamieson's Double Knitting (@jamiesonsofshetland), a Shetland wool yarn that comes in over 140 colors. The cute motif comes from Andrea Rangel's popular book Alterknit Stitch Dictionary (@andrearangelknits) and features cute raccoons raiding trash cans in search of tasty snacks! Find knitscene Accents 2018 at interweave.com and start your own Ring-Tailed Bandit hat. Wouldn't it make a cute gift? #knitscene #knitsceneaccents2018 #ringtailedbandithat #monedrager #jamiesonsofshetland #jamiesonsdoubleknitting #beanieknittingpattern #handknitbeanie #strandedcolorwork #alterknitstitchdictionary #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #knittingpattern"⠀ ⠀ Photo credit @interweavecraft
#swatchaweek: @daughterofashepherd Ram Jam Sport blocked out flat without needing any pins. It’s definitely got that wooly raspy-ness that I love about woolen spun yarns and there’s some kind of tiny lustre in there. One thing that has me smitten is the subtle colour variations. There are some darker fibres in it so it’s not flat natural. I think you’ll be able to see it clearer in the video so stay tuned for that. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ This skein was provided by @daughterofashrpherd ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ 🌿 #swatch #swatchproject #daughterofashepherd #ramjam #yarnlove #wool #andrearangelknits
So I may have just gotten the hang of #todaysknitoutfit - showing multiple ways to style the same knit. 😊 ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ This is Leaves in Water, my most dramatic pattern from my book AlterKnit Stitch Dictionary. Link to the book is in my profile 👉⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I wear my Leaves in Water sweater all the time because the palette suits so many things in my wardrobe & I always feel a bit super hero-ish in it. 💪 ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ The handmakes I’ve styled it with are, clockwise starting at the top left:⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ • @truebias Ogden cami & @grainlinestudio Maritime Shorts⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ • @alabamachanin Factory dress (with pockets added naturally!)⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ • a dress hack of the Ogden cami in linen from @fancytigercrafts & my Spree Cowl in @yarnonthehouse Big Sister ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ • a self-drafted skirt that’s literally 2 rectangles the width of the fabric & an elastic waistband . . 🌿 #memadewardrobe #memademay #memademay2019 #andrearangelknits #leavesinwatercardigan #alterknit #alterknitstitchdictionary #knitstagram #sewist #sewistsofinstagram

#swatchaweek: @daughterofashepherd Ram Jam Sport. This stuff Knits up super lofty & light. It’s one of those weightless yarns - reminds me a little of classic Shetland yarns. It’s definitely crunchy & love the rustic wooliness. Looking forward to seeing how it blocks out!⠀ ⠀ 🌿 #swatch #swatchproject #daughterofashepherd #ramjam #andrearangelknits #yarnlove #wool
#dissentsweater art, y’all! 😍 My brilliant sister-in-law Nalisha Rangel @neeshagear is a skilled artist among many other things. I asked her to create some original artwork inspired by my take on Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Dissent collar & I’m so in love with her work. I’ve got a print of this hanging in my office now. 💛⠀ ⠀ 🌿 #dissentart #rgb #originalart #nalisharangel #nalisharangelart #neeshagear
