Wow, Melbourne Australia is far away. Do you have equivalent yarn events there? Thank you for your lovely message, it touched my heart!
Vogue Knitting Live New York 2020 Recap
Yarn, yarn, as far as the eye can see! The Marketplace at Vogue Knitting Live New York was unbelievable, and I found some wonderful colors there, such as this Green Dragon Colorway of the Merino Yak yarn hand-dyed by The Periwinkle Sheep. It is hard to find a really good green, and when yo...

Jennifer, you are so clever, you have pinpointed the exact proportion problem in this outfit--when I had tucked the shirt in, there was about 2.5 inches of exposed shirt before the Myrna waistband started which looked quite unflattering; If I had owned the skirt before starting the sweater I could have planned for them to match better in that area so I am swearing off trying to knit/sew an outfit simultaneously! Yes I totally agree that shopping one's own wardrobe is best!!!
Clueless? Pairing Handknit & Sewn Clothes
Karen cardigan by Sarah Hatton + my sewn Hollyburn skirt When you knit a sweater to match an item in your wardrobe, there are a lot of advantages. You’ve worn the garment for a while and understand its proportions. Understanding the style and shape you need to complete an outfit is key. I...

Agnes, thank you very much for your comment! That is really helpful to know about the photographs! At the moment my husband's been too busy to photograph me, so what you've been seeing is selfies where I've balanced my cell precariously on top of my refrigerator! Too funny!
Myrna by Andi Satterlund
I knitted Myrna to wear with a vintage-style dress I purchased last year. I knew I would wear the dress a lot more if I had something to cover my arms, as the sleeveless style is not appropriate for teaching. Although I had queued Myrna, it was not until I saw CleoCMC’s version that I...
Aw, thank you very much, Maxi!

I have finished knitting the boylandknitworks Willowwood pullover in Woolfolk Far yarn. The combination of design and yarn was absolutely scrumptious! I immediately became obsessed with the design when I saw the Pom Pom magazine because I feel it captures the drama and exhuberance of Vict...

Thank you very much, Anthonia! I was surprised it turned out as well as it did as I was making the modifications up as I went along. :-)

Thank you for your encouragement, Agnes! It is quite interesting to try a new craft after feeling so confident with knitting, I have felt like quite an idiot at times and it has been refreshing!!!

Striving for the Ultimate Chanel Skirt As y’all know, I have long been a fan of Karl Lagerfeld. Ever since I saw his Chanel Spring Summer 2017 collection I have been obsessed with the A-line zippered tweed skirts. Some of the tweed prints were even based on circuit boards, which, sinc...
Thank you for your kind and very thoughtful advice, Betty! I love your idea of using the funky lining that shows through! And as for the zippers, hmmm, they have been a bit of a learning curve for me so I'm sure you are right that it will take a while to get there. I will mull on this idea!
