#showmeyourknits #showmeyoursocks #letissierdesigns #skyknits My favourite sock pattern. Both of these socks are knit from the same pattern. One version has been simplified to just two colours. And the other worked in traditional fair-isle style in multiple colours.

Garden Gate Shawl - this is perhaps my favourite photo of any piece I have ever designed and knit. The shawl was originally knit in undyed Alafoss Einband Laceweight and then hand painted with dyes. #showmeyourknit #showmeyourlace #letissierdesign #knitsky See comments below.

A labour of love. Lizzie's Hap, in memory of my Grandmother. A traditional hap, with a very non traditional inner border. It is a fair-isle border, reversible like the shawl itself. #showmwyourknits #showmeyourlace #letissierdesigns #knitsky

More lace. Playing with Barbara Abbey's Torchon lace collar pattern. Only a portion of the pattern was worked to create the fan shape. From 2009 Very heavily beaded lace knitting (YO's both sides) #showmeyourknit #showmeyourlace #skyknits

We went for a walk at Piper's Lagoon this afternoon. The tide was out, so we walked around Piper's Point as well. It was glorious. The sky was really "that" blue. The Gary Oak branches were twisted and grey. Such an afternoon. #photography #letissierdesigns #bluesky #piperslagoon

Apparently it is #stunday today. As it is very grey today I was looking back at my summer garden shots. There is a reason why deep colours always resonate with me! 😄 Look at that clematis! #photography #flowerphotography #colourphotography #letissierdesigns

#showmeyourknits #showmewips #clapotiskal #stripes @knitty.com I started the Knitty Clapotis KAL but never quite made the finish line. I love the way the dropped stitch bands break up the stripping colours. Yarn is Lang Cloud Tweed

#blueskyartshow Theme #monochrome #photography #letessierdesigns Playing with my phone. Some days in the winter here on the island can be so grey that monochrome is not something I look for. But it was interesting to try it on.

A universe on top of a board. The snow is rapidly melting as the rain started earlier today. I captured this before it all melted away. #letissierdesigns #photography
