Can I ask a favour? If you’ve gotten a look at AlterKnit, would you leave a review on Amazon? Reviews are a free way to support authors if you’re into their work & it would be a huge help to get some fresh reviews in time for the holidays. Link to the Amazon page is in my profile. 👉 (Not an affiliate link, though of course I get paid if you buy since I’m the author. 😊) . . Thank you so much for your support! 🙏 . . These motifs are (starting at the top left): Broken Shield, pg. 89 (an alternate name was, “I think my brain is broken.); Ram’s Helm, pg. 43; Cat, pg. 104; Leaves, pg. 96; Poopin’ Pig, pg. 115 (a crowd favourite! 😂); Mustard, pg. 88; Traveller’s Joy, pg. 94; Fracture, pg. 27; & Hippos, pg. 114. . . P.S. If you want to read blogger reviews, there’s a whole giant page of them on my website. . . 🌿 #alterknit #alterknitstitchdictionary #andrearangelknits #colorwork #strandedknitting #knitmotif #poopinpigs
#swatchaweek: my @rosapomar Brusca swatch blocked out so nicely! It’s bloomed to a soft surface with even stitches that have a good texture to them. It’s maintained that spongy lightness too! . . 🌿 #swatch #swatchproject #wool #yellow #rosapomar #rosapomarbrusca #andrearangelknits
I’m about to start a new sweater design with @theyarncollective Hudson Worsted, a Merino/Yak blend & it is going to be so, so snuggly. Think giant brioche collar 😊. . . This project is a collaboration with @loveknittingcom. Thanks, Love Knitting for the gorgeous yarn! . . 🌿 #knitdesign #sweaterknitting #andrearangelknits #yarnlove #yak #knitstagram
I knit two sleeves this weekend! Feeling a lot of gratitude for my colleagues in the fibre industry after a wonderful weekend. If you ever get a chance to go on a @knitsocial retreat, do it. 😊 . . Sweater pattern is Icefall by @tincanknits from Strange Brew & the yarn is @hinterland_textiles Dusk with a bit of @moekeyarns. . . 🌿 #knitsocialindustryretreat #fringefieldbag #galianoisland
#swatchaweek: @rosapomar Brusca Knits up so spongy & lofty. It’s light, but also substantial. I can see this as the cheeriest yellow sweater. 😊💛 . . 🌿 #swatch #swatchproject #rosapomar #rosapomarbrusca #andrearangelknits #yellow #yarnlove #wool #knitstagram
Psst... I’m gonna have a bunch of patterns in the Gift Along sale this year! 😊✨🎁 Check out the Gift Along Ravelry group for details & make sure you’re subscribed to my email newsletter to get updates. . . 🌿 #giftalong2018 #giftalong #giftknitting #andrearangelknits #knitstagram #knittingpatterns #knitdesign
Getting up close is always rewarding. I love how these decaying oak leaves look like lace. . . 🌿 #colorinspo #natureinspiration #fallleaves #lace #andrearangeloutdoors
#swatchaweek: This is @rosapomar Brusca, a very cheery worsted weight wool. I bought this skein at @avfkw & I’m drawn to the soft & wooly texture, that yellow(💛!), & the origins of @rosapomar’s yarn. It’s grown & manufactured in Portugal with wool from native Portuguese sheep - Soloia (a breed I hadn’t heard of before trying this yarn) & 2 kinds of Merino. Check out the Rosa Pomar website for more info about the company, & if you weren’t following @fringesupplyco’s blog while she was traveling in Portugal, search for “Portugal” on the Fringe Association to enjoy Portugal vicariously. 😊 . . 🌿 #swatchproject #swatch #yarnlove #yellow #rosapomar #rosapomarbrusca #wool #knitstagram
