Just going to snooze here for a minute 😊😊😊. We have dubbed this hat the name Hopeful Slouchy Beanie, cos let’s face it, there’s so much we’re all hopeful for...right? My hope and prayer with this pattern is that as you knit it, it’ll remind you to be hopeful / have hope, no matter what you’re facing. Pattern uses chunky yarn and works up really quickly. It’s THE perfect pattern for a beginner. As long as you can knit, purl and knit in the round, you’re good to go! Pattern drops on the 3rd of November and I do have a surprise for you on this one. Keep your eyes peeled 👀, eh? Have I told you guys lately that you’re the absolute bomb diggity? No? Well, I’m telling you now cos you are! 🤗. . . . . . #knitting #knitstagram #handmade #knitters #slouchybeanie #beanie #knittingpattern #maker #kunbidesigns #handmadebykunbi #chunkyknits #ourmakerlife #yarnlover #kunbidesigns #knittersofinstagram #craftposure #bipocmakers #knitweardesigner #knitweardesign #blackknittersofinstagram #blackknitweardesigner #handknitting #blackgirlcrafts #blackdesigner #makersgonnamake #knittingdesign #knittingpattern #handmadefashion #slowfashion #slowfashionmovement #entepreneur #bipocdesignersandcrafters
About to add another colour to this mustard. I alw About to add another colour to this mustard. I always get excited with colour changes. • Another Friday is here and I’m grateful. Today, Simon says: Who taught you to knit/crochet/sew/whichever craft you do? I was taught to knit and crochet by a primary school teacher when I was 8 years old. I walked past her class after school was over and noticed she was lost in crocheting. I was so fascinated by this and asked her to teach me. She not only taught me to crochet but also taught me to knit. I’m ever grateful to her! •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ • #kunbidesigns #crochet #crocheting #crochetlove #yarn #crochetersofinstagram #instacrochet #ganchillo #häkeln #haken #crocheted #virka #yarnlove #uncinetto #crochetlover #craft #lacestitch #lace #crochetpattern #blackcrochetersofinstagram #diversityandinclusion #blackcrocheter #slowfashion #slowfashionmovement

Well hello Julia Yoke Sweater!! On Saturday, I did Well hello Julia Yoke Sweater!! On Saturday, I did a poll in my stories, asking whether to keep the sleeves short or long. 67% of you said short and 33% said long - huge thank you to everyone who responded! So, I’ve gone with short sleeves and it looks faaaab! I will include instructions for long sleeves in the pattern though. Now to block it and finish writing up the pattern!

I have the same relationship with journals as I ha I have the same relationship with journals as I have with yarn. In fact, you can call me the journal collector 🤣🤣. There’s always another nice one to get and for me, the thicker it is, the better. I’ve been journaling for many years but slowly became inconsistent. In the past 5 or so months, I’ve become even more intentional with my journaling. Going through an awful mental health issue earlier this year and working with a therapist gave me the kick up the backside that I needed to be more consistent with journaling again. It’s really doing me a world of good and it’s always good to be able to go back and read what I journaled and how I was feeling on a specific date. In my last newsletter, I was able to share an entry in my journal from May this year, which resonated with a few of you guys who are subscribed. Thanks to everyone who emailed me back after reading the newsletter. I always love hearing from you guys, so don’t hesitate to hit the reply button after you’ve read the newsletter. If you haven’t subscribed to my newsletter yet, what are you waiting for?? (shameless newsletter plug 😊). Do you keep a journal? How has it helped you/how is it helping you?
I’ve never knitted with mohair before but that’s about to change. Yassss!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽. Massive thanks to Sian of @glendalefibres for answering all my questions and hooking me up with these gorgeous custom dyed yarn 🧶. I’m looking forward to bringing what I have in my sketch to life with them. Alsoooo, I’m rocking my Arewa pullover today. It has now become my most worn self made garment 💃🏽💃🏽. My testers are having a blast working on this pattern and some have already made plans to CO another straight away! I cannot wait to release this pattern and will announce the release date soon. It’s the end of the day here. Hope yours is going well/has gone well. Have a great week, my friends!
