I just hit publish on the Flames Cowl, a colourwork project that’s mesmerizing & fun to knit. Go find those special skeins of sock yarn! It takes on each of two contrasting colours & I especially love combining a solid with a speckled or variegated yarn. I used @magpiefibers Swanky Sock (which I’m told there’s a ton on at @edinyarnfest 😉). . . Link to the pattern is in my profile. 👉 If you’re a newsletter subscriber, watch your inbox - your discount code should be hitting any minute now. . . 📷 @koyahniphotography 🌿 #flamescowl #colorworkknitting #magpiefibers #strandedknitting #andrearangelknits #knitstagram

Yarn is @magpiefibers Swanky Sock in Selkie and Stars & Stones. Go check out their gorgeous colours or stash dive for those special sock yarn skeins you’ve been saving. This design is perfect for one skein of speckled or variegated yarn & one skein of solid-ish yarn. . . 📷 @koyahniphotography 🌿 #flamescowl #knittingpattern #strandedknitting #colorworkknitting #andrearangelknits #magpiefibers
Nothing I think of to say feels sufficient. I am striving to take responsibility for myself, to be better than the society that I was raised in and I know I have a long way to go. I want to send out love to those who are hurt by the oppression of racism and white supremacy. It is all connected & I want to be a part of something better.
#swatchaweek: @strangedyetara has got this wonderful, lanolin-y crunch to it. It’s really substantial, but also lofty. It’s not super slippery or smooth, but I think those of you who are into a good rustic wool will love it. Just wait till you see how it blooms! . . Strange Dye sent me this skein & two others for the Swatch Project & just to try 😊 . . 🌿 #swatch #swatchproject #wool #madeincanada #yarnlove #andrearangelknits
A skein about to be wound is so full of possibilities. Love that feeling of creativity, of what I could try. This one is @magpiefibers Swanky Sock right before I wound it to swatch for a new design. My job isn’t always just fun, but I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of seeing a new hank on the swift. . . 🌿 #knitdesign #magpiefibers #yarnlove #andrearangelknits #knitstagram #swankysock
Got my contributor copy of Coffee House Knits by @kabsconcepts! I’ve got a fun colourwork cowl pattern in the collection. Check it out on Ravelry! . . 🌿 #knittingbook #coffeehouseknits #flatwhitecowl #andrearangelknits #kerrybogert #interweave
This week’s #swatchaweek is from a small Canadian company, @strangedyetara. It’s naturally-dyed worsted weight Canadian wool with a crunchy feel to it. @strangedyetara sent me these three skeins to play with. . . 🌿 #swatch #swatchproject #yarnlove #andrearangelknits #knitstagram #wool #madeincanada
Have y’all seen this knitting card game yet? 😄 My Tolt River Cowl is on a card! (Yes, @wonglobalnomad, you’re now part of a knitting card game.) They’ve met their Kickstarter goal, but you can still fund them to their stretch goal. . . Repost from @knittingthecardgame . . "‘Tolt River Cowl’ by @andrearangelknits is so fun— knitting triangles into my colorwork is seriously my favorite thing. This sample just reminds me of blue skies and sunshine and it’s making me so happy! ☀️☀️☀️💙💙💙 #knittingthecardgame #kickstartergames #kickstarter #knittersofinstagram #kickstartercampaign #andrearangelknits #colorworkknitting"⠀ ⠀ Photo credit @knittingthecardgame⠀
