I love designing and knitting lace. For #ShowMeYourKnits, here is my Farnsfield stole modelled by my good friend @susancrawfordvint.bsky.social - the Farnsfield pattern is available from me at payhip.com/b/ri1qp or from Susan with optional yarn kits at susancrawfordvintage.com/search?q=far...

My new hat design, Grasmere, is now available - either as a pdf pattern or as part of this beautiful yarn kit which also includes a printed pattern booklet . The daffodils are just beginning to open here in the Lake District so this seems like the perfect knitting project to welcome spring. 🌼

Make this @OfficialUoM press release viral “Trump … echoed Kremlin talking points, by falsely claiming …Zelensky’s approval rating stands at a mere 4%…polling…puts his approval rating at 63% - making him the most popular politician in the country.” www.manchester.ac.uk/about/news/t...

For #ShowMeYourKnits here is an Orchidaceae lace yoke jumper in progress. Pattern by Susan Crawford. I have a limited amount of the blue yarn I hand dyed myself, so planning contrast cuffs and welts, and will work these and part of the body top down to make best use of available yarn.

Progress on my Supernova wall hanging. The centre is now quilted, just the outer sections to go and then binding. Quilt is an improv work in progress. Based on a Threadhouse Academy class by @joaverystitch.bsky.social

I have just finished knitting this laceweight top, which had stripes as I was a little short of yarn so just right for #ShowMeYourKnits . The pattern is Blouse with a Gathered Neckline from Susan Crawford's A Stitch in Time volume 2 revised. 🧶

Cold, damp February day, and the boiler is not working so we have no central heating. So grateful for a wardrobe of woolly knitwear, and today I am wearing: thick socks, wool skirt, a thin short sleeved jumper, Lopi jumper, and a heavy cardigan to keep me warm!

Very recently finished this wall hanging quilt. It uses the setting Sarah Fielke produced for Aurifil Labs 2, but I appliqued and embroidered flowers adapted from Jo Avery's Dream Flowers collection instead of hearts. Had great fun at all stages making this. 🧶
