I’m delighted to report that my latest pattern Zinda is now live on Ravelry! Featuring stranded colourwork and two-colour cables, the geometric patterns are inspired by striking tiled architecture in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. The original samples actually made an appearance at @strikkefestival on the Border Mill stand - I wonder if anyone saw them? Made using North Coast 4-ply by @border_mill which was recently featured in issue 143 of @theknittermag and is available from @bordermillshop and @looplondonloves

I love seeing my designs in a different colourway! Thanks @midwinteryarns for sharing! #Repost @midwinteryarns with @get_repost ・・・ Finished my holiday project! I bought the Euphorbia hat by @skeinreaction as a kit at @perthfestivalofyarn this year, from @border_mill , using their beautiful Shetland tweed. Keeping me warm and toasty along with my Solverv shawl in Snaeldan 4ply ☺️ .

This week I have been mainly screen-printing textiles on the #secretsevernartstrail as part of @polychromery, in between designing a new knitting pattern and playing gigs. This one is inspired by a wrought iron railing and might become a skirt one day. Lovely to meet @layfamilyyarn and @catharines_yarn at the local knit & chat session at Maws Craft Centre. Hope to be back there again sometime!

My designs are on display at the @Polychromery screen printing studio at Fusion, Jackfield Tile Museum. We’re doing all sorts of creative things all week as part of Secret Severn Art Trail! #Repost @secretsevernarttrail with @get_repost ・・・ Just wonderful knitting on the trail in Fusion Jackfield #openstudios #secretsevernarttrail #buythepattern #handknitting #jackfield #fusion

This week I am screen-printing and exhibiting at Fusion, Jsckfield Tile Museum, Ironbridge as part of the Secret Severn Art Trail open studios. Screen printed textiles for sale, including these handmade zip-topped bags which would make excellent project bags! #secretsevernarttrail #polychromery

After a somewhat worrying unplanned holiday in an unknown location (courtesy of Royal Mail) I’m delighted to say that my original Laterano scarf is now in Fanø, having missed its connection to get to Perth in time for the yarn festival. It is there along with several other of my designs and a brand new one (details coming shortly) at the Border Mill stand. Do go along and have a look if you’re there! #fanøstrikkefestival #thebordermill #lateranoscarf

My designs are on sale at fanøstrikkefestival this weekend! #Repost @border_mill with @get_repost ・・・ All set up and ready to go! #fanøstrikkefestival #fano #thebordermill #scottishtextiles

Aaah - cute! Spotted at an agricultural show/ farmers market in the centre of Namur.

I took up screen printing earlier this year. I have finally found time to design and start making a range of bags (ideal knitting project bags - or large sponge bags as some of them have waterproof linings). These ones are based on Victorian tile designs and will be on sale at Fusion studios (Jackfield Tile Museum, Ironbridge Gorge) during the Secret Severn Art Trail in September and possibly elsewhere thereafter. #secretsevernarttrail

My recent holiday knit was #watershawl by Sylvia McFadden using yarn by @fruitfulfusion which I bought at Yarningham. The colourway is Rain Cloud - which perfectly sums up the weather since I got home!

Guess what - I found a knitting shop on my recent holiday in France!

My new pattern, Laterano Scarf, has been released on Ravelry! Featuring diagonal bands of mosaic colourwork between Latvian braids, interspersed with bands of garter stitch, this scarf is inspired by Cosmatesque mosaics decorating the columns of the basilica of San Giovanni Laterano in Rome. It is knitted using North Coast Tweed 4-ply by @border_mill #thebordermill #northcoasttweed #mosaicknitting
