I was having a sort out and just came across this silk cocktail dress I made back in the 1980s - it was fully lined and everything - somehow I don’t think I’ll ever be wearing it again!

It’s so exciting to have my pattern published in Knitty, Winter 2018! Glass Island is a reversible cowl made using double knitting technique. The name is a reference to Murano, the home of Venetian glass, where a medieval mosaic floor inspired the geometric design. The pattern is also free! Head to knitty.com or find it via my Ravelry designer page. #knitty #knittymag

A quick stop for some knitting and coffee at a local craft shop and cafe! #debbiebryan

The lunchtime table decoration in the pub matches my cowl!

Wenlock Cowl is now available in my Ravelry store! The design is inspired by the stonework tracery at Wenlock Priory and the edges are finished with Latvian braids. It is knitted using Wild Wool by Erika Knight, which contains nettle fibre and comes in a range of deep earthy colours with amusing names such as pootle, mooch, dawdle and amble - just right for a leisurely country walk! I first squished this yarn at @ippikin yarn shop in Much Wenlock and it turned out to be the perfect choice for this new design. #ippikin #wildwool #erikaknight #wenlockcowl #wenlockpriory

More music and knitting today - it's Nottingham Yarn Expo, complete with string quartet! #nottinghamyarnexpo

Recorders and knitting! Spent today performing, browsing and purchasing (oops!) at the London Exhibition of Early Music. The gentleman from the Von Heune workshop (really superb recorders from New England - one of which I now own) I discovered is a very keen fellow knitting enthusiast!

I had the pleasure of designing one of the patterns for Yarningham 2018! #Repost @yarningham with @get_repost ・・・ We produce a Yarningham show guide every year which contains at least one free exclusive pattern. . . We are currently looking for new original patterns for the Yarningham2019 brochure. Interested?

I have just published a new cowl pattern on Ravelry - inspired by the Persianware ceramics of William De Morgan in Birmingham Museum which are characterised by the use of turquoise and blue. The design incorporates one of his most popular flower motifs. Originally designed for the Yarningham 2018 brochure, the pattern is now available as a download. The cowl may be worked as a DK-weight version (in cobalt/turquoise) using WYS Wensleydale Gems, which is reminiscent of the colours of typical De Morgan Persianware, or as an aran-weight version using Rowan Kid Classic (the cream/turquoise version shown). #yarningham #westyorkshirespinners #wensleydalegems #knitrowan #kidclassic #rowankidclassic #rowanyarn #rowanyarns #birminghammuseumandartgallery #williamdemorgan

Yarnbombing - spotted recently in Todmorden!

#Repost @knitmastery with @get_repost ・・・ We went to #perthyarnfest18 and look what we spotted - a pile of Doge’s Palace cowls by @skeinreaction (available as a Knitmastery Interactive pattern, #justsaying) knit up in @border_mill yarns. And we were very taken by their North Coast Tweed! #knitmasterypattern #perthfestivalofyarn #perth #yarnfestival

#Repost @knitmastery with @get_repost ・・・ This week’s #patternfocus is @skeinreaction’s Doge’s Palace Cowl, which interprets several decorative features of the Doge’s Palace in Venice into a lovely squishy cowl knit in Dk yarn. We ran out first Knitmastery knitalong for the cowl - check out #knitmasterydogeskal for lots of fab projects! Pattern available as a Knitmastery Interactive pattern to knit with our app. #knitmasterypattern #satnavforknitters #patternfocus #cowl #colourwork #knittingapp
