Texture texture texture texture. Nothing excites m Texture texture texture texture. Nothing excites me more in machine knitting, it’s definitely where I find my joy! But I also love everything else about machine knitting: colour, pattern, lace & ladders, beads etc & I can’t wait to develop more workshops to teach even more techniques. There’s so much to delve into with machine knitting which is why I love teaching it! Whilst I’m on maternity leave all of my workshops will still be available to download- with already have a huge amount of techniques and different ways to exploit & develop them. Even the beginner workshop has a lot of value for intermediate knitters- my focus is showing you how to knit the technique and then showing you lots & lots of samples & garments developing each technique so you’re spilling over with ideas & inspiration. My favourite thing is hearing experienced knitters comment on how I teach stripes….the most basic of stitches. But I’ve got some different ways of thinking about them & expanding them further. All four of my workshops are available now on my website & include: •beginner- basic techniques to create incredible fabrics •ribber basics - all the basic ribs, plus fun herringbone, colour and 3D pleats •crew neck jumper- (but includes all the information to be able to knit any kind of garment) •intarsia- pure colour joy! I LOVE showing what you can do with machine knitting- it’s my passion & I would love to share my knowledge with you! #knittexture #knitfabric
A behind the scenes of a shoot just over a year ag A behind the scenes of a shoot just over a year ago with the most beautiful souls & friends. I can’t wait to do this again with some new designs, there’s a lot to look forward to after maternity leave, which makes stopping for a while a little less scary. #behindthescenesphotoshoot #fashionshooting
B L A N K E T S C A R V E S: I’ve been rifling B L A N K E T S C A R V E S: I’ve been rifling through my stock cupboard to see what’s still in there, and have found this beautiful grey & pale lavender scarf. I’ve popped a couple of videos on my stories from my pop up last year at @johnlewis of me wearing one so you can see the drape and length. I often forget about how beautiful these scarves are, each one with a completely unique stripe pattern-I design as I knit them, following my instincts for colour & pattern. Gorgeously soft with lambswool, cashmere & alpaca & as they’re a lot thinner than my Joan jumpers and snoods, they drape so beautifully. They can be worn a few ways, are super wide and super long. So there’s a lot of fabric to play with and work just as well as a blanket at home as a scarf. And even the tassels are a joy to feel, handmade by me from 100% merino. It really is a proper piece of luxury made to last. I have only one in stock at the moment & not sure I’ll have time to top up before I finish in October. They were the first product I designed 8 years ago, and I know many people who bought one then still love & wear theirs today. A true staple. #blanketscarf #blanketscarves
Old sketchbooks- every now and again I get these o Old sketchbooks- every now and again I get these out and have a good rifle through. My sketchbooks are just for me so they’re scrappy, messy and brimming with ideas. There’s often way too much in them to use at the time so i love looking through them with fresh eyes. They are a real window into my state of mind at that time & are so precious to me. I see new potential for drawings scribbled down in the middle of the night, more confidence in designs I passed by in that moment & they’re a reminder of all the hard work that goes into what I do & what I’ve achieved. Never throw your sketchbooks away….you never know when the next brain wave might come from. I’ve been thinking about doing some videos talking through some of my past sketchbooks and design process- is this something you’d like to see? Let me know in the comments! #fashionsketchbook #fashiondesignprocess

Really feeling those cosy vibes today with this be Really feeling those cosy vibes today with this beautiful shot of @atelier_lalot shot by @kkiliszek with delicious dried blooms from @itsallprettywild ….l love the summer & being warm but I’m definitely getting the tingles in anticipation of autumn. I love this shade of Joan jumper, it feels autumnal but with a bit of a twist. And it really works well with many other colours. I’m looking forward to being cosy in knits for the next few months. How about you? Are you an autumn/winter person or spring/summer? #rollneck #chunkysweater
