  3. Here are some details and insights about the top I created for my domestika course: 1: This is what the front motif looks like: It combines rather plain cotton with fuzzy alpaca yarn. 2: I prepared the top several times to show it off in different stages when filming. After filming I unravelled a few of these beginnings, which I am now using for the new motif of my Intarsia Top knitting pattern. 3: The top is inspired by the wind, the dunes and the beachgrass at the North Sea. I captured the atmosphere with an abstract paper collage and translated the illustration into a colour chart for knitting. 4: My favourite feature: You can design your very own knit top, inspired by your own motif, by filling out the empty chart. 5: Take a look at your stash and get creative with your yarns by combining different colours and fibres! 6: This is how my moodboard looked like in November 2021 when we filmed the course. I took it off the wall of my studio and took it with me in the train to Berlin – which caught quite some eyes. 6: When filming the course, I knitted quite a few rows, to get to a new point in the pattern and to create lots of material for the video. I was sitting at a table, trying to feel relaxed while knitting and not thinking about the three cameras and the three people in the tiny room watching me knit. 8: The front and the straps are made with my favourite I-cord edge, created as you knit, which lets the motif continue at the edge stitch neatly. 📷 all photos by @domestika 🧶 Puno Winikunka by @pascuali_official and organic brushed alpaca by @kaosyarn Overall by @linenidstudio #domestika #domestikacourse #textiledesign #knitting #knitstagram #knitknitknit #knittersofinstagram #knittingaddict #knitting_inspiration #contemporaryknitting #colorplay #knitspiration #knityourstyle #handknit #slowfashion #handmadeknit #strickanleitung #strickmuster #strikk #strikkeopskrift #knitpattern #nevernotknitting #intarsiaknitting #modernknitting #intarsiaknit #summerknits #summerknittops #plyshknit

  2. Hello friends! Ashley and I are so excited to finally kick off the #FishGirlFallMakealong. Summer may be wrapping up, but we’re carrying that whole fishy, fisherman-core vibe straight into fall. Think cozy knits, playful colorwork, textured fisherman sweaters, fishy motifs, sewing projects, beadwork, even painting a fish if you feel inspired. Basically, if it’s creative and a little fish-themed (or fisherman-core inspired), it counts! 🐟✨ Dates:
📅 September 1st – December 21st (first day of winter)
That gives everyone plenty of time to cast on something new or finish up a WIP you’ve already got swimming around. What’s included: * 🧶 Knitting (fish motifs, fisherman’s rib, cables, cozy textures) * 🪡 Sewing (like the @_madmakes Swim Along bag or a fishy drawstring pouch) * 🎨 Beading, crochet, weaving, painting—you name it! * Anything else that feels fun, creative, and a little bit fishy. How to participate: * Use the hashtag #FishGirlFallMAL if you’re posting on Instagram! * Share your project ideas and WIPs so everyone can be inspired. * Post progress pics along the way—half the fun is seeing each other’s projects grow. * Finished objects? Show them off with pride—we’ll all be cheering you on! * You can also post on our ravelry thread in Design By Sew and Sew’s group or at YoungFolkKnits.com if you’re not on Instagram or Ravelry. Prizes & Fun Extras:
Ashley and I will both be joining in with lots of projects, and we’ll also have some special stitch markers and goodies donated by @_soft.spoken @littlelionheadknits and a gift card from @redstagfibre to give away during the MAL. So tell us, what’s on your needles, hooks, sewing tables, or beading trays for Fish Girl Fall? Drop your plans below, even if you’re just brainstorming, so we can get a running list of ideas for everyone to draw from. Also, pictures, pictures, pictures! Can’t wait to see what you all come up with, by winter, we’ll all have the coziest fishy wardrobes and projects to show off. Don’t be koi… jump right in! 🐠💙 If you’re looking for the perfect fishy project Ashley is releasing her #oldsaltsocks tomorrow Friday August 29 and @littlelionheadknits will have kits!

  1. 🌼 #todaysknitoutfit featuring the #anoukatank 🌼 Summer’s in full swing, and I couldn’t ask for more sophisticated knitted vibes. Anouka was my first #intarsia knitted piece ever and it was quite the ride! I admit I was overwhelmed when I first looked at all the color work charts. I also had no idea how to neatly divide out the yarns for each chart, but after a few reads through the written pattern, everything started to click. And after I found the perfect, ever-so-convenient no-tangle thread bobbins to organize all my separate yarns into (swipe to see them!), it was smooth sailing from there! I had these colorways in Loft sitting in my stash since the COVID quarantine, so I was happy to use this #testknit as a stash-busting project. I began with a center panel that featured the light yellow and gray color ways, but after knitting a few inches of the color work, I realized this was all wrong, and decided to make the hayloft yellow and red color ways the centerpiece. What a difference it made! Has this gorgeous intarsia top been on your queue? Do you have any hesitations in trying out intarsia if you’ve never tried it before? Let me know why in the comments below! 👇🏼 Happy knitting everyone 🧶 . .

  2. My latest #workinprogress — #stagheadpullover no. 2 🦌💐 I am so excited to finally share my current WIP with you all! I previously made my first Stag Head Pullover back in 2019 but found that I never wore it because I made it with white yarn and was afraid of getting it dirty, and I made it a bit long for my taste. I ended up giving it to my aunt who lives in Seoul, Korea a couple of years ago because I genuinely wanted it to be worn and loved (Swipe ➡️ to see photos of Stag Head no. 1). However, whenever I thought back to this sweater, I missed it so much and felt sad that I gave it away—it’s such a special design! So I decided it was finally time to make my second Stag Head. This time around, I made some major changes after my first experience. I decided to omit the waist shaping and make it a little shorter so that it wouldn’t be as warm and feel so bulky when worn with all of my pants. I knew I would lose momentum if I knit the front and back pieces separately, so I modified the pattern to be knit in the round. I also decided to use @brooklyntweed ‘s Shelter yarn as I know this yarn provides incredible structure to cables. I initially was going to go with a darker foresty green (Yellowstone) I had in my stash, but ultimately pivoted to the golden Hayloft so as to accentuate the cables more. Now all that’s left to knit are the sleeves! I am so, so happy to revisit @norahgn ‘s extraordinary design. Though it is an immense labor of love, it is absolutely worth all of the effort. What do you think about this classic design? Have you been wanting to make the Stag Head Pullover? Let me know in the comments below! 👇🏼 Happy knitting everyone 🧶 . .

  3. Trying on my #SPARKS_SWEATER test knit—and it’s a success! ✨ Happy #FairIsleFriday, friends! I’m excited to share an update on this stunning #testknit designed by @breielaar (I still can’t show full photos of the WIP yet, so bear with me ❤️). I just split the body and sleeves a day ago and finally had a chance to dive into some relaxing stockinette last night. The colorwork yoke isn’t blocked yet, so it’s still a little bumpy, but we all know the magic of wet-blocking—it’s going to transform into a beautifully smooth masterpiece! I’m considering sharing a before-and-after blocking video to show the difference. What do you think? This sweater is wonderfully oversized, just as I’d hoped. While the photo doesn’t capture it fully, the yoke is longer and ends about 2.5” above my navel, giving it that bold, statement look I love. After wet-blocking, it’ll likely grow even more! When I’ve put so much effort into the yoke, I want it to be as extravagant and eye-catching as possible—no small yokes for me! And can we talk about the thoughtful design details? The highlight around the collar and the pops of color in the three-color rows make this piece truly shine. It’s an absolute stunner, and the pattern will be released in about a month and a half to celebrate @pru_yarns gorgeous new DK weight yarn line. Mark your calendars for next month’s announcement—you won’t want to miss it! So, are you planning to cast on SPARKS? Let me know in the comments—I’d love to hear your thoughts! 👇🏼 Happy knitting, everyone! 🧶 . .

  3. Couldn't wait any longer to tell you. I wrote a book! Knitting for Radical Self-Care: A Modern Guide is being published by @abramsbooks and will be available where books are sold Fall 2021!! 😭 ⁣ ⁣ Writing this book in 2020, it evolved into so much more than a knitting how-to pattern book. The weight of all we were experiencing together in every part of the world pushed me to create a body of work designed to be both a respite from our collective grief and an exploration of how to take better care of ourselves so we are more capable of taking care of each other. It's a liberation guide on how to harness our creativity and power. This is one of the patterns in the book called the Dawn Cowl inspired by Octavia Butler. A celebration of a new beginning in a future of our own making 🌱⁣ ⁣ Did you know I was a cliff jumper? I love high jumps into deep bodies of water. My approach to life in this moment is very much like one big leap just as the light fills the sky. My heart is so open, adrenaline pumping, excited for the journey back to shore. And it was this project that encouraged me to take the leap and go for my wildest dreams. ⁣ ⁣ I am on that shore. The fullest, most joyous and creative version of myself is awaiting me there. I'm using every stroke I’ve learned to reach her. She's always been here calling to me, encouraging me to rest, writing to me, sitting with me as I knit. When I ask for help she's always been there with a mantra. I wrote this book for her. I wrote this book for you. And I am rooting for you to make it. For those of us finding our way back to being with ourselves, to rediscovering our purpose, our history and our passions. ⁣ ⁣ I wrote this book to remind you that you are your own lighthouse, bright and necessary, guiding yourself to shore 🌊
