I’m getting ready to fly off to New Zealand tonight for @knitaugustnights ... and I’m making some last minute packing decisions on my travel knitting! It’s got to be socks 🧦 but I’m just not sure which (of the many pairs) I should pack to work on. Decisions, decisions ... . Do you have a go to travel project? . These are Blairdenon from the latest Neighbourhood Sheep Society collection. Perfect for travelling - a simple but interesting knit 💕 . Yarn is @gingertwiststudio 🧦 . #knittingismylovelanguage #knitsharelove #gingertwiststudio #insta_knit #knitting_inspiration #knittinglife #operationsockdrawer #neighbourhoodsheepsociety
I just keep stumbling across pink yarn at the moment. While I was sorting a few things in the studio this morning I found this beauty sent to me by @intambo_yarn 💓 it’s just the pink I’ve been dreaming of recently. . It’s a stunning organic cotton from @moya_yarn in South Africa. As spring approaches here I’m starting to think of some summer knitting plans and I think I can see a blush pink swatch in my future ... . Wishing you a glorious Monday wherever you are 😘 . #knitsharelove #knitting_inspiration #strikke #summerknitting #knitswatches #moyayarn #intamboyarn #knittinglife #knittingismylovelanguage #bibandbracecollective #brisbaneknitter
Valewood is the perfect shawl for bundling around your neck or graceful draping over your shoulders - and it’s ✨20% off this weekend to celebrate its arrival ✨ .

I want to tell a bit more about the gorgeous yarn I used for Valewood - my latest shawl. . This yarn is local to me - it’s made 2 hours drive from my house. In Queensland that’s “super local” (I could probably drive 2 days from my house and still be in Queensland!) ... . It’s created by Peter and Diane of @rosabellathreads - they raise the Angora goats on their farm (they are super happy goats too - I’ve met them - check out their feed for some fantastic goat snaps 💛) . They carefully blend the yarn with ethically sourced Merino and then spin it with a local cotton core at their mill on the farm. Then Diane carefully kettle dyes each batch into a spectacular range of colours. She’s got a fantastic eye for a great hue 🌈 . This yarn is very special to work with. It’s unique in its blend and construction and I enjoyed every single stitch immensely. . I love meeting passionate fibre folk and these two are as passionate as they come! .
