#swatchaweek: @sewhappyjane Happy Fingering. Love how this blocked out. 💛 It’s super soft & the speckles are so fun. The colour is Contemplation & I bought this skein at an Oregon fibre festival last year. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ 🌿 #swatch #swatchproject #sewhappyjane #andrearangelknits #yarnlove #swmerino
I wear this Dissent pullover all the time, but I love how it looks on @parmbhangu too! I created a thorough hack for this pullover version of Dissent, so check out the link in my profile if you’re not into cardigans (or let’s be real - scared of steeks 😅). ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ I made this sample with @daughterofashepherd Ram Jam. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ 📷 @littleflorencemay 🌿 #dissentsweater #strandedknitting #rgb #knitstagram #colorworkknitting #sweaterknitting #andrearangelknits
Just a little moment from my studio, winding my skein of @sewhappyjane Happy Fingering for some colourwork playtime. This colour is Dark & Stormy. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ 🌿 #yarnlove #studioview #sewhappyjane #andrearangelknits #knitstagram
#swatchaweek: @sewhappyjane Happy Fingering. Yep, it knit up how I was hoping! 💛 I’m really into those chartreuse pops against a neutral fabric. Looking forward to seeing what it looks like on colourwork! ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ This colour is Contemplation & I knit it with US 3/3.25 mm needles & got a gauge of 28/38. Stay tuned for what it looks like blocked. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ I bought this skein at an Oregon fibre festival. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ 🌿 #swatch #swatchproject #andrearangelknits #sewhappyjane #yarnlove #merino #speckledyarn
I haven’t modelled for my own patterns in awhile, but i ended up doing it for my latest pattern, The Flames Cowl. I love how @koyahniphotography captured such a moody vibe & the sort of outdoorsy rebel look I was hoping for. 🖤⠀ .⠀ .⠀ That jacket was a gift from my brother many years ago & even though I’ve gone through phases thinking that the bright periwinkle was totally not my style, I’ve kept it & love it anew. (Thanks, Brother! 😘)⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Link to the Flames Cowl in my profile 👉 I used @magpiefibers Swanky Sock in my sample. .⠀ .⠀ 📷 @koyahniphotography 🌿 #flamescowl #andrearangelknits #strandedknitting #colorworkknitting #knitstagram #knittingstyle
#swatchaweek: @sewhappyjane Happy Fingering. I bought these beautiful skeins at an Oregon fibre festival. They’re really lovely subtle speckled yarn & I’m definitely going to knit some colourwork with the two of them. But first I’ll knit my usual swatch. The colours are Contemplation and Dark & Stormy. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ The base is a classic Merino/nylon sock yarn with a nice twist. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ 🌿 #swatch #swatchproject #sewhappyjane #sockyarn #speckledyarn #yarnlove #knitstagram #andrearangelknits
I got an Oxalis as a wedding gift (over 14 years ago now! Thank you, Tiffany!) It was my first houseplant. I was terrible at caring for it & it came near to death many times, but somehow it always came back. I had to leave it behind when we moved countries, but I’ve finally gotten another one. I love seeing it thrive & feel all sentimental & romantic about it. Any of you have that one special plant? ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ 🌿 #houseplantsofinstagram #oxalis #plants #purpleplants
