And just like that some knitting is happening... maybe a mindless stockinette sleeve was all I needed? It’s good to be back at it, for however long this lasts. Pattern: #sauvabelinsweater Designer: @thesweatercollective Yarn: Elsa Wool, woolen spun sport weight 🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶 #knit #knitting #knitstagram #yarnstagram #instaknitting #yarnie #best_knitters #igknitters #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #yarnlove #knittingisthenewyoga #makersgonnamake #loveknitting #knitsharelove #knittersgonnaknit #knits #handknit #knitter #knitters #shareyourknits #ravelry #yarn #strikking #knittersofravelry #knitallthethings #alwaysknitting #yarnhoarder
Hi there! It’s me - Amanda. Remember me? I hope you haven’t forgotten me! I have just been... doing everything but knitting. Working, traveling for work, traveling for vacation (I took this photo at the Louvre in Paris on Wednesday), working out, and just generally not finding the motivation to knit. I’m hoping a vacation was what I needed. I’m definitely feeling more artistically inclined after my trip to Paris. I’m not sure what will come of Old Salt at this point. I’m just hoping to get my knitting mojo back. I have far too much beautiful yarn and amazing knitty friends to walk away, but I just know I haven’t been feeling inspired to knit. I didn’t even go to any yarn shops in Europe! Has anyone else ever been through this kind of knitting slump? Ive been knitting off and on for over 15 years and have definitely had little “breaks,” but never for this long. First and foremost, I think I need to recover from major jet lag. 😴
Many thanks to everyone who supported the #ldmakeathon yesterday and especially @perfectblendyarnshop who so graciously hosted the event from sunrise to sunset. The Longest Day is the day with the most light and it’s the day we fight in support of the @alzassociation - in one day I have a more or less finished sweater (swipe to see) and over $1300 for the cause. Thank you everyone and can’t wait to do it again next year!! 🧶 is @malabrigoyarn in Rasta and pattern is Winston by @janerichmond 💜
It’s that time of year again and I’m prepping to team up with @perfectblendyarnshop to knit the #winstonpullover (by @janerichmond) in support of @alzassociation for the Longest Day on June 21. Swipe to see how you can join (or visit the link in my bio)!
Swipe or read below. I know I’ve been quiet in general lately. But I thought this was important. I’m by no means encouraging anyone to terminate their pregnancy (In case that distracts you from the actual message here), but it’s important we keep people safe by not sharing misinformation. When posting about anti-abortion laws, we need to also let people know that as of right now ABORTION IS STILL LEGAL IN THE US. If you need an abortion, do not do anything that could harm yourself. Go to your doctor - period. For example, the most notorious law in Alabama doesn’t take effect for 6 months, and despite what a very popular meme says: You will not be punished for getting an abortion. Let’s all be clear when talking about this issue and keep folks safe!!!
I came home from work yesterday to a stunning trio of yarn babies. Go check out new dyer @lambandvine and get yourself some of this beautiful, squishy yarn! Molly has a true gift and I can’t wait to see this new venture grow! 🐑⚓️🐑⚓️🐑⚓️🐑 #knit #knitting #knitstagram #yarnstagram #instaknitting #yarnie #best_knitters #igknitters #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #yarnlove #knittingisthenewyoga #makersgonnamake #loveknitting #knitsharelove #knittersgonnaknit #knits #handknit #knitter #knitters #shareyourknits #ravelry #yarn #strikking #knittersofravelry #knitallthethings #alwaysknitting #yarnhoarder #indiedyer #indieyarndyer
