on finishing

Yesterday I finally finished knitting my socks. They were cast on back in January. The yarn isn’t particularly special, but it’s a beautiful pale grey marl. Grey and marl. Two of my favourite things! There’s no real reason why these…

  • What are your tips for kick starting your knitting mojo? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lay them on me, because mine has taken a hike! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was rummaging around in one of my baskets the other day and found the swatches I made for my Tidal socks. The sample size is too small for my huge feet so I think I might make another pair just for me. Hopefully it'll help to kick start my knitting again! Anyone interested in a KAL? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • • • • • • • • • • #tidalsocks #makingstories #makingstoriesissue1 #makingstoriesmagazine #knittherapy #knitting_inspiration #slowfashion #knittingaddiction #knittingismymeditation #knittingismyyoga #knittingtherapy #slowfashionmovement #knitoholic #everydayknitter #slowmaking #capturemycraft #shareyourknits #thesimpleeveryday #slowdownwithstills #hyggeknits #slowliving_create #allyouknitislove #knitstergram #socktawk #operationsockdrawer #modernmaker #sockknitting #sockknitter #sockknittersofinstagram #sockknittingaddict
  • I'm all about lazy weekends at the moment. Pottering about, watering the plants, endless cups of tea while I knit and watch black and white films. Today I made it to lunchtime before I even thought about getting out of my PJs 🙈 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In knitting news, the colourwork project is off the needles and blocking cozily in front of the fire, and I'm back onto my lovely, mossy Tender jumper 💚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • • • • • • • • • #tenderjumper #tendersweater #knittherapy #knitting_inspiration #i_loveknitting #slowfashion #knittingaddiction #onmyneedles #ourmakerlife #slowlived #knitinspiration #nevernotknitting #knittingismymeditation #knittingismyyoga #knittingismyhappyplace #knittersofig #knitlife #knitfastdiewarm #knittingtherapy #slowfashionmovement #knitoholic #everydayknitter #slowmaking #capturemycraft #alwaysknitting #shareyourknits #thesimpleeveryday #makersmovement #natureandnourish #slowdownwithstills

  • I'm so excited to share that I have a sock design in the brand new @_makingstories magazine! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've been sitting on this news for so long, so it feels amazing to be able to finally share it with you!

  • Happy Friday folks! These weeks are flying by, but each one is bringing a little more sunshine and a little more spring 🌞🌷 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My Tender Jumper is still bimbling along, but I spent a few moments at lunchtime, sitting in a sunny corner and playing with some beautiful new yarn. As I looked up I noticed that the yarn matches my plant pots - it's always good to have a colour scheme 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • • • • • • • • • • #vscoknit #knittingtherapy #hyggeknits #knitallthethings #ourmakerlife #modernmaker #slowliving_create #allyouknitislove #knittingismylovelanguage #knitstergram #knittersgonnaknit #knittingisthenewyoga #knitsharelove #seekinspirecreate #instaknitter #slowlivingforlife #knittersoftheworld #yesweknit #igknitters #knittingaddiction #knittersofig #shareyourknits #knitting_inspiration #knittingjournnal #aslowmoment #yarnstash #knitfastdiewarm #nevernotknitting #knitlife #knitknitknit
  • Lemon and sugar 🍋 or Nutella 🍫 on your pancakes? It's a close call, but I think lemon and sugar might be my fave! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've been trying to ease off the knitting lately after I started to get some RSI in my hand and wrists. After a week without my needles (it was HARD! 🙈) I couldn't resist casting on something new with this beautiful, soft sage green. It's the Tender jumper by @bmandarines and those little chevrons are so addictive! I keep wanting to work just one more row... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • • • • • • • • • • #tenderjumper #tendersweater #i_loveknitting #slowfashion #knittingaddiction #onmyneedles #knittersgonnaknit #slowlived #knitinspiration #nevernotknitting #knittingismymeditation #knittersoftheworld #knittingismyyoga #knittingismyhappyplace #knittersofig #knitlife #knitknitknit #knitfastdiewarm #britishknitters #knittingtherapy #knitallthethings #slowfashionmovement #knitoholic #everydayknitter #slowmaking #knittinglove #capturemycraft #alwaysknitting #shareyourknits #thesimpleeveryday
  • An #accidentallywesanderson moment after the sun melted away the fog. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I was small I wanted to live in a lighthouse and sleep in bunk beds like they did in the Portland Bill stories.

  • 恭喜发财! Happy Chinese New Year! Wishing you all a healthy, happy, prosperous New Year 🧧🐖🍊✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This Lunar New Year truly feels like a fresh start. The past couple of months have been lost in the chaos of living out of a suitcase while we had some work done on our house. Finally, we're back and settling in again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Everything is covered in dust and wreaking havoc with my allergies (🤧🤧🤧), but it feels good to be occupying our space again, slowly slipping back into familiar routines. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Alpaca probably isn't the best fibre to be playing with when you have a wheezy chest, but I am nearly finished these socks... I'm close to running out of yarn though - wish me luck in this game of yarn chicken!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • • • • • • • • • • #ifimsittingimknitting #alwaysknitting #justkeepknitting #happinessishandmade #fromwhereiknit #knitandbehappy #knittingishappiness #knittingtherapy #hyggeknits #knitterslife #onmyneedles #handmadewardrobe #simplethingsmadebeautiful #capturemycraft #knittingaddiction #slowlivingforlife #ukknitters #itsthesimplethings #slowliving_create #slowknitting #theslowdowncollective #kindredmoments #flashesofdelight #thequietwinter #operationsockdrawer #stockyoursockdrawer #makingwinter #makelightmakers #ourmakerlife #knittingaddiction
