    One Skein Wonder: Quick and Easy Crochet Cowl

    August 30, 2017 /

    Hey lovelies! I love lace and open work patterns, and I’m always looking for ways to experiment with them. Since I seem to have a thing for cowls, judging by how many cowl pattern ideas I am currently thinking about, it only made sense to create a lacy cowl pattern.…

The weather here may not be fantastic right now bu The weather here may not be fantastic right now but it’ll hopefully be, in time for the release of this beaut of a skirt 😍😍. Come on sunshine, we need you ☀️☀️. All roads lead to June, my friends! Whoop whoop! This skirt is perfect for the beginner who’s familiar with knitting in the round and is ready to knit a garment. The stitch pattern is so easy to remember that you’ll be Netflixing and knitting in no time! This one’s defo one you want to grab for mindless knitting and I envision many of you knitting this up as presents 🎁🙌🏽🙌🏽. It knits up quickly and you can easily adjust the length to suit. You get to add elastic cords to the waist for a snug fit. Included in the pattern is a very easy method of adding the cords that does not require sewing. I’m all about the simple life and just want you to have all the fun with your knitting while creating a trendy garment that you want to rock all the time 🙌🏽🙌🏽. Swipe 👈🏽 to see a few photos from my testers. These ladies rocked it 🥰. Pattern: Hopeful Skirt (Release date in June TBC). Yarn: King Cole Chunky Tweed. • • • • • #yarnlover #kunbidesigns #knittersofinstagram #craftposure #bipocmakers #designer #knitweardesigner #knitweardesign #blackknittersofinstagram #blackknitweardesigner #handknitting #blackgirlcrafts #blackdesigner #makersgonnamake #knittingdesign #knittingpattern #handmadefashion #slowfashion #slowfashionmovement #entrepreneur #bipocdesignersandcrafters #diversityandinclusion #knitstagram #knittersofig #knittinginspiration #iloveknitting #hopefulskirt #kingcolechunkytweed
Once upon a time, I couldn’t be bothered to alte Once upon a time, I couldn’t be bothered to alternate rows with two balls of hand dyed yarn until I learned the hard way with one of my projects: The colour on one arm was completely different from the other arm 🤣🤣🤣. Let’s just say I put it down to artistic input or something snazzy like that...heheheee! Buuuut I can now never ever not alternate rows (I tend to do every two rows) with two balls of hand dyed yarn. Have you had a similar experience with not alternating rows when knitting with hand dyed yarn? Share your story in the comments 👇🏽😊. • Yarn: Tennyson by @pigment.and.ply.

If a hoodie doesn’t have pockets, can it even be If a hoodie doesn’t have pockets, can it even be called a hoodie?? Asking for a friend 👀😊. • This project has been a story of life, lemons and lemonade...lol! A few weeks ago I posted in my stories about the purple yarn I was using for this project. I didn’t have any left and the yarn has been discontinued. Searched everywhere I could for it and the few places that had any left were charging cray cray shipping costs. Long story short, I decided to change tact and use a contrast colour, and you know what? I actually prefer it this way! It wasn’t the initial plan but I’m glad this is where we’re at now 🙌🏽🙌🏽. • How has your weekend been so far?
