Warning: Homegaden.com is a scam Shopify site, registered with GoDaddy, using a Hong Kong business as the registrant. Thanks a million to the endlessly talented Jenn Steinglass @knit.love.wool for posting about Homegaden which has been taking photos from Ravelry, among other sites, and pretending that they have the designs worked up as ready made items for sale at impossibly low prices. Many designers have had their work falsely represented on Homegaden. I’ve just been told that Candyrod.com is another site with the same fraudulent setup. If you publish designs online, I strongly suggest you look to see if your work has been copied on these sites. Please don’t hesitate to report the abuse through the Shopify and GoDaddy abuse pages. Homegaden claims to be selling my Calling Scotland hat (“multicolor casual hats”, in their parlance) for $11.88! Ha!! My Calling Scotland PDF is $7, the yarn is $40.50 and the labor is...who knows! Above all else, please don’t be ripped off by these thieves! Thanks and best wishes to all who report😘 #knitting #knit #fairisle #knittersofinstagram #shetlandwool #strandedknitting #knittingpattern #knitdesign #strikkeAlmost done with my new “Alpine Skies Vest” design - just two rounds and one bind off to go! After I slipstitch the #steeks in place and give it a nice bath, it’ll be done at last. Yay! Pattern and #spindrift #shetlandwool yarn packs coming shortly -stay tuned! I should have finished this vest last week, but the thought of soon having nothing left on the needles was utterly unbearable. So, I took some time to lay things out and cast on for my next design, a top-down sweater using a floral motif I’ve been playing around with for way too long - time to finally knit it up! In the meantime, I was asked to design something for an upcoming yarn crawl. Back to multiple irons in the fire - just the way I like it! 😁 Have a great weekend, filled with plenty of Happy Knitting! 😘#fairislefriday #knitting #fairisleknitting #knittingpattern #jamiesonsofshetland #fairislevest #strandedknitting #strikkeCutting the V-neck #steek on a #fairislevest design of mine. Easypeasy! You’ll see I did not use any crocheted or machine-sewn reinforcement; I merely snipped away. Once I’ve knit the ribbing, I’ll fold and slipstitch the cut edges in place. Cardboard or a magazine...or an awesome color card...slipped inside the vest keeps me from errantly cutting through the back layer. One word of caution: If I were using any yarn other than Shetland wool, I could never cut with such impunity - I’d have to reinforce columns on either side of my cutting line. Reason #342 why I love #shetlandwool ! See the “Technique” page on my website (link in bio) for my tips on machine-sewn steeks. #fairisleknitting #strandedknitting #knitting #jamiesonsofshetland #showyoursteeksOne quick snip and the back neck #steek is cut open. #fairisleknitting #shetlandwool #jamiesonsofshetland #strandedknitting #knitting #showyoursteeks #maryannstephensknitsHappy #fairislefriday! I’m just a few rounds shy of the back neck shaping on Son #2’s #fairislevest. Hoping to do some #steek cutting over the long Labor Day weekend. Yay, I always love that part! Pattern in the works -stay tuned! And have a great weekend, wherever you are!! #fairisleknitting #shetlandwool #jamiesonsofshetland #strandedknitting #knitting #maryannstephensknitsHappy National Dog Day! Can you tell which one is different than the others?? #nationaldogday #goldenretriever #dogsofinstagram #slumberparty#saguaro #cactus #hiking #gatespass #tucson #arizona #sonorandesert #thisisnotimefortreehuggingWay back in 2008, I designed my Amaryllis mittens and in 2010 I designed my Amaryllis hat to match. The original mittens and hat were knit in Dale #babyull fingering weight merino (no longer available in North America 😟 but still available in Scandinavia.) You’ll see I also did the hat in #shetlandspindrift in Shetland natural colors; the Spindrift yarn pack and PDFs for both the hat and the mittens are still available through my online shop (link in bio). PDFs also available through Ravelry. #strandedknitting #maryannstephensknits #strandedcolorwork #fairisleknitting #knitting #strikke #fairisleknitting“C’mon, guys! It’s over here!!” Our Golden Girl, Gracie, proving she knows better than any stoopid trail map. #mtlemmon #tucson #arizona #bearwallow #hiking #goldenretrieverCome Play in My Yarn Shop!
