Some practice colorwork on the ol' knitting machine. Lol you can see where I picked it back up on the wrong step of the pattern #fairisleknitting #crafts #fiberarts

Stranded knitting/Fair Isle practice turned into a finished piece, an autumn themed cowl. 🍂🍁🍂🍁 “Charmingly handmade”, but I learned lots. Used Pacific Knit Co’s Doodle Deck for the motifs. #knitting #strandedknitting #strandedcolorwork #knitsky #fairisleknitting #doodledeck
I was remiss in sharing, so let me share now! I received my contributor copy of Fair Isle Knitting Tradition several weeks ago.
It was my pleasure to be the tech editor on this project!
If you love Fair Isle knitting, then I highly recommend checking this book out!!

Close-up of a hand-knit sock in progress on double-pointed needles, worked in warm autumnal colors of deep red, chocolate brown, and light beige. The sock features intricate stranded colorwork patterns, with the cuff, heel, and toe in solid brown. It rests inside a patterned fabric project bag, with balls of brown and beige yarn nearby.
🍂 Coming soon… still on the needles, but already dreaming of autumn walks, crackling fires, and mugs of warm apple cider. Rich, storybook-inspired colors are taking shape—can you guess the name? 🧶✨ #comingsoon #handknitsocks #cozyknits #fairisleknitting #sockknitting #etsyseller
Finished! Only took me 4 days and was WAY easier than I had thought. Fair Isle knitting has intimidated me for ages, but this helped me figure out it's not actually that hard.🧶

Day 2: got about 8 more rows done then had to back out another row, so I put it time out for the rest of the day.😂😅🧶

Day 1: made it through row 15 of the pattern. Had to back out 2 rows when I discovered Chart 1 is missing a MC square on the left for rows 13-15, but I managed.🧶 So many ends to weave in, but one of my bfs has agreed to do it for me ❤️😍

So excited to have my new pattern on display at the Hazel Knits yarn booth at #flockfiberfestival! Kits are available too!

Finished! This was a steep learning curve with a satisfying outcome in surprisingly little time. And that light gray yarn is the softest baby alpaca. So this is basically a stylish wearable cloud.

Here's my version:
This amazing vest was sold at Zara last year. I love the colorway and think I'd wear a fair isle vest more than a sweater. I prefer 100% wool (or alpaca) for something like this, so I'll just need to knit it myself. A beautiful inspiration. 🧶

Took a break over the weekend from the news and spent a day in Helsinki with knitting friends 🤗. Soft Spot Pullover kept me warm on the windy early spring day!

Both photos show me wearing a fair isle vest top in oatmeal with green, yellow, and orange traditional patterning, on top of a white long sleeved linen shirt. I'm seated but you can just see my blue jeans. I have long light coloured wavy hair and glasses and I'm sitting in a cafe.
Wearing my granddad's vest top that my granny knit for him about 70 years ago. It's so pretty and I can't believe it fits! #knitting #knittersOfBlueSky #fairIsleKnitting #knittingHistory

I made some progress on my secondary project, the #pinassasweater and also found some sunshine to take a picture of the #ingesweater 🧶!

🧶I’ve blocked the #ingesweater before finishing the first sleeve to see how much the yarn will grow after blocking. Just love the blooming of Holst Supersoft. Sorry my blocking mats are neon green 😬

I cant decide what to do, I want to knit „Amaryllis“, the cover garment of springtime and ordered Rowan Felted Tweed. But I am not the happiest about the yarn, the alpaca makes it a little bit too stretchy for me. ⬇️

A picture of a three coloured fair isle style jumper, you see the inside, the floats, and the arm which is constructed right now. The colours are blue, red and oatmeal.
I am on sick leave right now and while I am getting better I started to knit the sleeves on the #ingesweater 🧶

Hello Bluesky!
Ever so slowly I’m making the move over here. I’m a knitter based in Vienna, Austria. If not knitting I love to run and bike, hike , basically a knitting granola she/her.

Had to pause a colorwork project to learn a new technique! Invisible stranding/ladderback jacquard is my new best friend. Pattern is It’s not about the hat by Susan Rainey #itsnotaboutthehat #knitting #strandedknitting #fairisleknitting

Shows an in-progress knitted jumper knitted bottom up to almost the armpits. The jumper background is oatmeal and the diamond pattern goes from cool green edges to zingy chartreuse centre line.

Motoring on with Noss from Yuco Sakamoto's amazing pattern book My Fair Isle Journey. This is such a beautiful pattern & I'm loving my colour choices for it, especially as I was just trying to use stash rather than buy more yarn.

They are finished! These are the Maine Island socks by Mary O’Shea. These were an absolute joy to knit and I can’t wait to try them again with different colors. 🧶#knit #knitting #knitsky #knitstagram #knitsocks #fairisle #fairisleknitting
