A foxy sweater for Jones! I knew I wanted to knit this fun yoke, For Fox Sake from @maxtheknitter, as soon as I saw it. I think the glasses are my favourite part, but there is a lot to like.When photographing babies and kids, we always have at least one 'wrangler' – an adult who can watch for safety hazards and wipe boogers, while we focus on framing the shot.Here is a close up of my newest sweater yoke! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Happy Birthday @garywrichardson ! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀On the blog today: knits from other people's patterns!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀When I knit my Lullaby blanket, the parts I loved were those in which the two plies of the handspun had quite a strong contrast. For example, where purple contrasted with a vivid green, or green with a bright orange. #LullabyBlanketLast year, I knit two sweaters from other designers' patterns, including this For Fox Sake sweater by @maxtheknitter.It's Bodhi's birthday! Our smart, cheerful, funny kid is 7 today. Enjoy a trip down memory lane!Our Fly Away blanket pattern got a little addition this week: half squares! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I finished a sweater for ME! This is my fabulous Embers sweater. I will be wearing it every day until it gets too hot...then I'll probably just wear it in the evening. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Kid photography... 🙄🤣Just a little rainbow to brighten your Monday 🌈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The Compass sweater is a fun and simple geometric yoke, in just 2 colours. Perfect for a first colourwork sweater or a wardrobe staple! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Sometimes you want a few colours, sometimes you want a lot! The Marshland yoke can be knit either way, with as few as two, six like we've done, or many more! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Sonya Philip @sonyaphilip is my style idol ~ check her feed to see why, and give her a follow! #FollowFridayEmail Updates
