Felix has been supervising a sample we've been making of our Bergen Vest for . Supervision is super tiring for him, poor thing.

We are looking for a few extra testers for our Miromiro Sweater - a top-down seamless sweater with set in sleeves and cable details, worked in a light (bulky 4-ply or sport weight) yarn.
Here shown in the gorgeous minimally processed "Southlander Sport" from

Ideally we'd like testers to be able to join a Facebook messenger group for the pattern test.

PM us if you want more details.

Had such a great time talking to all the knitters at the Deep South Fibre Festival today . Thanks for stopping by.
If you didn't catch the festival this year - we'll see you at our stall next year!

Inspired by that 80s pattern shawl collar cardi, and how much I hated knitting it! All those separate pieces, measuring as you go and all that seaming.

So I kept the shawl collar and redesigned everything else to feel easy.

This one I wanted to actually be a pleasure to knit 🤍

It’s live now on our website, Ravelry and Etsy stores - linked in our bio.

Japanese short rows are go-to for shaping. Here I'm using them to form a cabled sleeve cap. What's your favourite method???

Our "Kōkō Cardi" pattern has landed! It's a quick and classic bottom-up knit worked flat, with integrated button bands and shawl collar for minimal finishing.
Check out our yarn suggestions in the pattern listings for how to achieve the light, lofty fabric that works up fast at gauge.
Available in seven sizes from our website, Etsy and Ravelry shops, which are all linked in our bio.

With the Aparima Cardi we wanted to evoke a subtle retro vibe – recalling the bold, patterned knits popular from the mid-20th century.

It features textured panels of slip stitches and charted mosaic patterns which allow knitters to showcase and combine yarns to create something unique.

If you've never tried Mosaic knitting before, give it a go! It provides a simple (one colour per row) way to introduce multiple colours while keeping the garment practical to knit flat.

We named the cardi for a seaside town at the bottom of the world (almost), where the design began.

Our pattern is available at the links in our bio to our website, Ravelry and Etsy store.

I always feel super awkward with three needles but it is a great technique for joining two pieces of fabric together.

Getting a bit closer to publishing our Kōkō Cardi! We wrote for you classic knitters that unapologetically just like to knit pieces flat!
