Enjoy!

There isn’t a direct equivalent, however it is possible to just use this cast on and then rearrange the Stitches on the next row so that it becomes 2 x 2.

Have you tried the alternating cable cast-on before #knitsky?

This is the method I used for my upcoming sweater pattern; it creates a smooth flow straight from the cast-on into one-by-one ribbing. It's so satisfying!

I think we are on the same wave length. 👀

Hey are perfect summer colours! 🥰

Five cones of tweed silk yarns, all different colours, standing in a line.

We’ve just added more Tussah Tweed to the studio, and I’m already a little obsessed. That dreamy silk with a hint of tweed…

I think I may cast on a new Madison Top in the shade ‘Blue Royal’.

What would you knit with it, #knitsky?

Thank you so much. What colours would you knit it in?

That would be beautiful!

😂

Cute!

If I gave you these two yarns (and an unlimited amount 👀), what would you knit with them?  

I’m so curious what you’d all come up with! #knitsky

Mosaic pattern stripes? Yes please! 🥰

Oh I’ll take a look!

What’s your favourite knitting tool? #knitsky 

For me, it has to be the Barber Cord (or just a silicone tube). Being able to try sweaters on as I go is fantastic, especially from a design point of view!

Knitting with two strands makes such beautiful fabrics, but it can be tricky.
Ever dropped one strand by accident? #knitsky

I’ve got a tutorial showing how to fix it and troubleshoot double-stranded knitting: youtu.be/1Pe90soNUDM

Oh that’s such a beautiful colour 😍

Oh how wonderful, what colour are you knitting it in? 🥰

Probably the squishiest I’ve ever knit! 👀

It’s #wipwednesday, what are you working on this week?

Here’s a little look at my upcoming Laura’s Sweater release, can’t wait to share the full design with you very soon.

It’s really helpful!

It really is scarier then it looks, I love that feeling once you can finally cut the knitting. 🥰

Curious about steeking? It’s a brilliant technique for colourwork cardigans! #KnittingTipTuesday

I’ll be teaching it (with some Gaudí inspiration) at my Barcelona retreat this November.

It softens up beautifully after blocking!

😂

Hahaha your flying along with it, what colour are you working the cardigan in?

This is the dilemma I face as well. It’s much easier to establish stitch patterns from the bottom up but it’s so nice to try it on from the top down!

Time for a sweater knitting debate #knitsky!

Top-down or bottom-up: which is your go-to and what makes it your favourite.

Ooh that would be beautiful! 💚

Oh this turned out beautifully 😍

Coming soon... Fluffy, chunky, and surprisingly fast to knit.
