  • The new amirisu magazine, issue 18, comes out today, and this is my contribution, Koushi ▫️▫️▫️▫️ This sweater was initially inspired by gingham, and the way threads in two colours are woven to make a third. Except instead of colours, I used textures: smooth stockinette and a really textured eyelet, with double moss stitch as the in-between. And instead of a tiny all-over pattern, I made the blocks as big as they could be. A quarter of the sweater, a whole sleeve... It’s interesting to knit something asymmetrical, and it’s even nicer if you get mid-round fatigue and get a bit bored of working the same stitch for too long 😛 @amirisushop it’s been a huge pleasure and you've outdone yourselves with this beautiful issue once again, thank you. #amirisu #amirisu18 #knittersofinstagram #knitweardesign #knittinglove #koushisweater #darumayarn
  • So many yarn scraps and yet somehow not nearly all of my yarn scraps. . . #knittersofinstagram #scrapknitting #yarnscraps #scrapyarn
  • I made a coat! 🎉 Just in time for spring! 😂 I bought the fabric from someone on marktplaats, the lining and the outer together. The colour and the fabric itself are both a little lighter than I’d have picked out in a shop but I like it, and it was convenient, cheap, and second hand ✌️ The pattern is Burda 116 11/2015. It’s a women’s tall pattern which I am not, so I shortened the upper body, and also skipped the waistband though I did add this depth back to the lower body to keep it knee length. I modified the vent to a normal style because it would have been way too high as drafted without the waistband. I also added not one, not two, but four inner pockets, because the outer pockets are quite shallow (could have seen that coming but I skipped them on my toile 😑) and a woman needs to be able to carry her belongings and seditious writings of course. . . . . #diyfashion #sewing #burdastyle #isewburdastyle @burda_style #handmadewardrobe #diyfashion #memade #handmadestyle
  • Uuhh yeah! My Rumo cardigan is in the MDK March Mayhem bracket 😮 I see many patterns and designers I’ve admired this past year in the cardigan category alone, this is pretty amazing 😁 Very honoured to be in the company of such talented designers. #mdkmarchmayhem #masondixonknitting #knittinglove #knittersofinstagram #rumocardigan #knitburo

  • No best nine for me as it would probably just look like a screenshot of my feed, that's how little I posted 🙈 No pretty pile of knits either, I feel like I just didn't knit that much 🙈🙈 A couple of things for me, a few more as gifts, and the rest is currently spread around the globe. So I had a dig in my box of swatches instead, and pulled out all the swatches from my designs this year. It's a nice way to keep a record 💕 See you next year! 👋 . . . #knittersofinstagram #handknit #knitlove #knitting
