Have you all seen this incredible cover for the next @pompommag issue? I’m m so honoured to have a pattern in this issue, which was guest edited by @norahgn. If you’ll be at Rhinebeck you can get a first look in Building B. Or you can pre-order. I can’t wait to show you more! . . 🌿 #pompomquarterly #norahgaughan #knitdesign #andrearangelknits #knitlove #sweaterknitting
I won’t be able to be at Rhinebeck, but I’m happy that my Tolt River Cowl will be! Stop by @owool this weekend (barn 35) to see it & pick up some lovely Balance yarn to make your own! . . If you’re new to colour work, I’ve got a blog series that’ll guide you through every step of making this Cowl, & get you confident for more colour projects. 😊🙌 Link to my blog in profile 👉 . . 📷 @kayla.brazier, model @wonglobalnomad 🌿 #toltrivercowl #colorwork #strandedknitting #andrearangelknits #knitlove #owool #owoolbalance #rhinebeck2018
#swatchaweek: my @ladydyeyarns magenta just pops! A thing I love about singles is how rich & saturated colours can be. I’m really into this semisolid look & can’t wait to see how it flattens out with blocking. . . Don’t forget you can sign up for @ladydyeyarns’ club right now. Link in her profile. . . 🌿 #swatchproject #swatch #andrearangelknits #ladydyeyarns #pink #yarnlove #wool #knitlove
I’ve been reviewing my Knit Stars workshops this week & I’m getting real excited for enrolment to open! That’s happening soon (Oct. 25!!) but in the meantime, you can get a free mini mini series, starting with @veerarain’s favourite tip for jogless stripes. (It’s one I’d never heard before & I love it!) A link to the free mini series is in my profile 👉 . . @knitstars is an online symposium with classes from me & lots of other amazing folks like @veerarain, @arnecarlos, & @mjmucklestone. You’ll be able to sign up soon, so be sure you’re subscribed to my email newsletter so you don’t miss it. 😊 . . This pile of swatches is from my book AlterKnit Stitch Dictionary. If you like the book, you’ll definitely be into the workshops I’ll be offering for Knit Stars. 😉 . . 🌿 #alterknit #alterknitstitchdictionary #andrearangelknits #knitstars #knitstars3 #knitlove #knittingclasses #strandedknitting
We all make mistakes! I screwed up the colour work right at the centre front of this new cardigan sample. 😭 But not to worry! I can correct it with duplicate stitch. See how I fixed this so it’ll be ready for photography! Sound on for narration & swipe to see all the videos. (There are a lot. 😅) . . This pattern is coming soon! The yarns are @spincycle_yarns Dream State in Salty Dog & @magpiefibers Domestic Worsted in Baby Got Black. . . My needle is from @kristanmacintyre & it attaches to a necklace! 😍 . . 🌿 #fixingmistakes #knittingtutorial #knittingvideo #dissentsweater #duplicatestitch #colorwork #strandedknitting #knitlove #andrearangelknits
#swatchaweek: @ladydyeyarns in this super bright Magenta! I picked this up at Vogue Knitting Live SF & that hot pink really grabbed me. It’s a singles fingering SW Merino with a semisolid hue & I’m already thinking of making a hat with it. Stay tuned to see it knit up. . . Also, the @ladydyeyarns yarn club is open for signups right now! They’re partnering with other men & women of color to bring you a club that looks super fun. Here’s to a more diverse crafting industry! 😊 Tap the link in the @ladydyeyarns profile & go to their Shop to sign up. . . (😬 And I just gotta be real about the “week” timeline in my #swatchaweek project - you may have noticed it’s more like a metaphorical week 😅, the intention of a week... I’m ok with that cause it lets me work with new yarns without too much pressure.) . . 🌿 #swatch #swatchproject #ladydyeyarns #andrearangelknits #wool #yarnlove
Valentina Cape is an elegant new design from @amanoyarns’ latest collection, Volume 4. The delicate texture is perfect to adorn your holiday outfits.
