Warm, fluffy, cosy….summer knitting

Later this week I will share with a couple of fab photos of some my knitted accessory designs which have appeared in the new issue of Knitting Magazine. In the topsy-turvy world of knitwear design I worked on these designs with gorgeous, luxurious and warm yarn in the heat of June.

Mmmm that sounds a little uncomfortable. The answer to ‘glowing’ hands are regular trips to the sink for a cooling hand rinse.

You might wonder what project I packed for our summer Mediterranean holiday. It might be better to imagine frosty ski slopes when working with this fabulous snuggly Rowan Angora Haze. Instead in Spanish heat I found the shade and donned an unfeasibly large hat and shades.

The mismatch of the seasons in my yarn life can feel a bit odd. But never fear , when the appropriate season makes its way round the calendar I always have a new little accessory to road test.

  1. I am trying to write a pattern for a crochet hat and it is driving me crazy. So I enjoyed the distraction of your blog today. Jo x

  2. I always find it really hard to knit when the ‘weathers nice out’,even with cotton fibres. Sometimes these things just have to be done. But with all that hand washing what better excuse for a manicure! Lol!

  3. I love your angora haze – is it a pattern? I’m trying to see if it is a stitch I know but can’t quite make it out, whatever it is I love it. I have a few balls of angora haze and I would love to knit something in this pattern if you can help. Yours looks beautiful.

  4. I’m sorry, I loved your knitting so much I didn’t read your post fully and I think I have tracked down your pattern to December 2013 of Knitting so I am off to find a copy can’t wait to cast on
