This barred owl was just casually sitting in a tree right next to the trail posing. I’ve never seen one this close up & it was such a treat. . . Anyone here on @inaturalistorg? I’m AndreaRangelOutside there, though I just recently started. You can also see my nature photography in my dedicated instagram account, @andrearangeloutside.
I tried something new & different last weekend - sheepskin tanning! I took a workshop taught by @woodland.cur & hosted at @lauricafarm. It was a very different way of working with sheep, but it felt extremely personal and meaningful to honour this animal even after its death by utilizing all of it and spending so much time and energy with it. Swipe to see our teacher, a few views of Laurica Farm, and some finished hides. I blogged about the process so if you want to know more & see more images, tap the link in my profile 👉 . . 🌿 #sheepskintanning #crowsnestwildcraft #sheepskin #andrearangelknits #lauricafarm
I’m making progress on my first Fingering weight Dissent sample! 😊 This one is a pullover in @neighborhoodfiberco Studio Sock combined with @fleeceartist_handmaiden Merino Slim. The pattern is next in my queue after my current sweater & I’m hoping to publish it before the end of the year. I got that spectacular basket at a market in Victoria last week from @kasandylocallyglobal. They’re based in Vancouver. 💛 . . 🌿 #dissentsweater #andrearangelknits #knitstagram #kasandylocallyglobal #handmadebasket #wip #knitdesign #sweaterknitting #dissent
Reveal! ✨ This is Morning & Evening, the August club design for this year’s @gaugedyeworks Summer Yarn + Pattern club. The yarn & pattern are exclusive to current club members till next year, but I can’t resist showing it off now that all the club packages have shipped. this year’s theme is SKY & photographer @zeephoto.ca & model @jduncss captured it perfectly. You can see more images in the @hi.ravelry pattern listing. . . 🌿 #morningeveningscarf #gaugeyarnclub #andrearangelknits #knitstagram #selfstripingyarn
Yarn for this very special shawl is in the @gaugedyeworks shop right now! Goldstream was one of the first patterns that Catherine & I collaborated on & it’s such a fun knit. This original colourway was inspired by leaves floating in the water at Goldstream park here on Vancouver Island. You can get the pattern on Ravelry or my web shop. Link in profile. 👉 Get the yarn on the @gaugedyeworks website. . . 📷 @kellybrownphoto, model @parmbhangu. 🌿 #knitoutside #goldstreamshawl #gaugedyeworks #knitterfriends #gaugeyarnclub #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram
So excited to share that I’ll have a pattern in the upcoming @taprootmag, BUILD. This is a little peek of my design. Be sure to subscribe to Taproot by this Thursday 9/5 for the BUILD issue to be included in your subscription. Link to subscribe in the @taprootmag profile. . . I photographed my brilliant sister-in-law, Nalisha, for this project & I can’t wait to share more images, including ones that show her face 😄. (If you need a graphic artist for anything like logos or tattoo design, Nalisha’s a genius artist - check her out! @neeshagear) . . 🌿 #taprootmagazine #newpattern #shawldesign #knitdesign #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #andrearangelknits
Planning your Rhinebeck sweater or event project? I can’t wait to see what everyone’s wearing at @knitcitycanada in October! 😄 Wearing a new project to a knitting event is the best because no one appreciates hand knits like a convention centre full of other knitters. I’ve got a new blog post up with a few project ideas, including Dissent.

I got to attend a really fun local fibre festival last weekend here in Victoria - @fibrationsvic. I accidentally deleted all the pics I took at the event, 😬 but here’s what I picked up while I was there. Swipe for closer views of everything. . . • Gorgeous linen & indigo dyed cloth from @wovenwares • a Sock set from @rabble_rouser_fibre in the most glorious pink with gold speckles. That grey has some matching speckles too which is so charming! • earrings & stitch markers from @riv.creative • laser cut wood earrings from @burntcurve . . 🌿 #fibrations #knitstagram #victoriabc #wovenwares #rivcreative #burntcurve #rabblerouseryarn #andrearangelknits
