I finished my #FlowerMarketTee. Someday, when the clouds clear, the quarantine lifts and we dare to smile again, I’ll show you how it fits me “to a Tee”. Until then, stay home with me for a moment. Here’s my Tee with a peek at my side yard and (next photo -c’mon inside!) here it is with my favorite piece of furniture, my more-than-well-worn pie safe. I’ll be working on finalizing the pattern this weekend. Some new knitting projects, of course. Maybe on a pie, too! Wherever your home might be, I hope this weekend brings you comfort, happiness and health. #fairislefriday #knitting #knittersofinstagram #fairisleknitting #norwegianknitting #strikke #stricken #tricot #steeks #colorwork #strandedknitting #summerknittingWildflowers in my yard today; moonrise over #sabinocanyon on last night‘s hike. #Tucson #Arizona #Southwest #wildflowers #cactus #flowersJust started to bind off! Looking forward to cutting the front neck, back neck and sleevetop #steeks tonight and hopefully finishing it this weekend. Looking forward to starting a long-sleeved, #wool version next week. #fairisle #fairislefriday #knitting #knittersofinstagram #colorwork #norwegianknitting #strandedknitting #summerknitting #knittingwithcottonGet my “Nordic Easter Egg” knitting pattern PDF for just $2.50 now through Easter 2020 by using the discount code EASTEREGG2020.

Hoping you all have a lovely weekend, with plenty of time to enjoying picking up your knitting, too. XOXOXOX, Mary Ann. #summerknitting #fairisleknitting #strandedknitting #handknit #knittersofinstagram #knitting #knittingwithcotton #strikke #stricken #tricot #knittingdesignDropped my knitting, so I thought I’d make the best of it. Yes, the sky really is that blue here in #Tucson today. Even the weeds look lovely today! To my friends in the chilly north - spring really is around the corner. Have a lovely weekend!😘 #knitting #strandedknitting #fairisleknitting #knittersofinstagram #knittingoutdoorsFor the entire month of February 2020, I’m giving participants in @TheWoollyThistle Colorwork Mitten KAL 25% off any of my mitten pattern PDFs purchased through #Ravelry using the KAL’s discount code. I’m also giving three lucky KAL winners their pick of any one of my pattern PDFs. Wanna join in the fun? My Ravelry ID, where you can see all of my designs available through Ravelry, is “twostrands” and their Ravelry group, where you join the KAL and get the discount code, is “The Woolly Thistle”. Happy Mitten Knitting!! #mitten #knitting #TWTMITTENKAL2020 #fairisle #fairisleknitting #strandedknitting #maryannstephens #maryannstephensknits #knittersofinstagram #shetlandwool #ull #strikke #stricken #tricot #knittingpatternTook this photo last weekend, just before sending these off to #jamiesonsofshetland for their Christmas appeal to benefit #mrimaakers . (Something tells me their #ChristmasTree in Lerwick 🎄might look a wee bit different than the trees here in #Tucson, 🌵#Arizona. 🤓 ) These were knit in Jamieson’s DK #ShetlandWool #yarn, but you can use whatever yarn your heart desires. If you’d like to help the good people of #Shetland raise funds to finally get an MRI machine for their community, please feel free to use any of my many #freeknittingpatterns for #christmasornaments. Just head to my website (link in profile) click on the “FreePatterns” tab at the top of the page, then scroll down to find your favorite. Have fun!! #fairisleknitting #strandedknitting #christmasknitting #charityknitting #knittersofinstagram #knitting #stricken #strikke #tricotA fantastic knitter with the Ravelry ID “swissmissdenise” just shared this lovely photo of her modeling her wonderful #polarchullo sweater. (Photo shared here with her permission.) My “Polar Chullo” hat design uses five natural shades of #jamiesonsofshetland #spindrift. Shortly after “swissmissdenise” knit my hat design, I saw her order for six identical Polar Chullo yarn packs come through. I had to reach out to her - was that a typo??🤔Nope, no typo - this amazingly talented knitter definitely knew what she was doing! She layered some of my Polar Chullo charts over her own sweater shape and came up with...magic!😍What a great job, and doesn’t she look wonderful in it?!😍 Thanks so much for sharing your lovely result, dear Denise!❤️#fairisleknitting #knittersofinstagram #hi.ravelry #knitting #shetlandwool #ull #garn #strikke #stricken #tricot #polarbears #knittingpattern #knitspiration #knittingdesignCome Play in My Yarn Shop!
