Jeanette Sloan’s Beaded colorwork book next to a ball of beige yarn and 7 pouches of beads.
I bought this lovely book and some beads - super excited to level up some projects 🤩🧶

Paper pattern design for ouraboros motif
Ouroboros sweater in green with white dragon curled around the yoke.
A few people have asked me about my process for designing yoked sweaters. Basically there's a lot of trying things out on paper and checking how it comes together. 🧶🐉 #showmeyourknits #knitting #knittingdesign #art

Me in a pink beanie with a simple cable.
All of a sudden I made one more and took notes while doing it! I even think I could handle a small and informal testknitting 😇 Send me a message if you’re interested. 🧶 is DK or light worsted weight, techniques are twisted rib, simple cable and grafting. #knitsky #knittingdesign

Me in a striped shawl with a yellow cable at the center.
I published a pattern today! The Golden rope shawl 💛 🧶
First publish since November due to pattern production exhaustion 😓 It’s hard work making a pattern come to life and after my next one (almost finished) I will take a break. #ravelry #knitsky #knittingdesign

Waistlong WIP in bulky green yarn on a mannequin.
Waistlong WIP in bulky green yarn on a mannequin, back side.
Status report on my refurbished 🧶 cardi - it’s coming along nicely! Did something brand new to me: finished the sleeves first. Gives a different feel to the body and I kind of like it 🤓

A green sleeve with stripes in coral and blue before a green cuff.
Finished the first sleeve of my vintage repurposed 🧶 project with some Malabrigo Rios to avoid itching.

WIP in green with pink flowers on a mannequin.
I cast this on last April and now the body is done ✅🧶
The yarn is from #litlg and #apmezga and the flower pattern is from a free cross stitch pattern (can’t find the name of its designer 😢 anymore).

Knit WIP back view of a green cardi with narrow cables at the center.
Me in a badly fitting knit sweater.
My remake with this recycled yarn has started. As usual I can’t just make something simple, I need to experiment 😇🧶

Me in a short sleeve knit sweater and one matching ”wristwarmer” that covers the whole arm.
My first armwarmer is done! This construction will solve my ancient problem of wanting long sleeves outdoors and short sleeves indoors 🤩🧶

Knit short sleeve top in pink and green, worn by me
Blocking is done and fit is good, but trying to pull off a selfie-style photo of the back was not easy 😬 However, do notice the little cable at the side 🧶

This is my Raincloud jacket. Time- and yarn-consuming to make but one of my most used sweaters 🥰🧶

My 8 released patterns from 2025
Last year’s pattern haul from Colorway Knits 🧶 My ambition at was 10 but I slowed down significantly after summer since it began to feel more like a chore than a joy to release patterns. So I have started testknitting for others and just winging designs without writing anything 😌

A mosaic knit colorwork cowl hangs loosely down a person's chest, showing a dark teal pattern set against a luminous background shifting from orange to yellow to light blue. Alternate sections of a diagonally repeated motif and dotted stripes break up the right side of the fabric, while the reverse side shows short floats in a more blended fabric. Stripey i-cord edges keep the edges tidy and satisfyingly round.
A man with glasses and multi-toned beard going white smiles at the camera. He is wearing a cabled sweater and a colorful cowl wrapped double so that it hugs his neck.
#ShowMeYourKnits whites and brights - here's one on the bright end. The weather has been a bit sharper here, and I keep reaching for my Dust Jacket Cowl to keep my neck comfortable. It's a really fun knit, too.

A white cowl featuring a lattice of twisted stitches and garter ridges. The triangular shapes are filled with garter stitch on occasion. On the left, a narrow column of garter stitch hides the jog and provides a built-in row counter.
A man models the cowl, demonstrating how it sits low on his chest. A small triangle of fabric from his shirt is visible at the base of his neck.
A white cowl sample rests atop a grey cowl in the same pattern. Light cuts across the surface to reveal the textures in the fabric. White yarn is Bluesky Fibers Extra, a lofty aran-weight alpaca-wool blend. Grey is Briar Rose Fibers Abundance.
Oh, but there's also this sample of a cowl I designed. It's quite loose-fitting to add bulk across the chest, ideal for when the weather is cool but not bitterly cold or windy.

🧶 Notes from my desk
As I encountered this twice now:
Judy's Magic Cast On is a double-sided cast on NOT a provisional cast on. Obviously you can put one side of that cast on on hold while working the other side but it's still not a provisional cast on.

Short knit skirt in multicolor linen stitch.
Decided to use up my remaining Alafosslopi 🧶 for a new asswarmer. It needs a waistband but I’m pleased 😀

A yoked sweater in earth colors pinned to a wall.
One of my favourite things about being a knitting designer is seeing what people create with my patterns 😍🧶 This is Elizabeth’s version of my Forest moss cardi (omitting the “cardi” part) - fantastic!

A WIP in green and pinkish brown on a mannequin
Two weeks ago I spent my Sunday in Boulder, Colorado and there was yarn! After a tough selection process I chose these two from Huck & Rae Fiber Studio. They are just as amazing as they look 😍🧶

Two half finished sweaters on hangers on a white cupboard.
These are two of my current WIPs 🧶 I like to have them hanging around so I can see them and luckily my family hasn’t objected 😇

A striped top-down sweater where the sleeves have just been separated.
Out of the blue my 15-year-old daughter asked me for a sweater 😮 This has never happened before in spite of my offering to do it quite often. This is the design we made together 🥰🧶
