19 knitted squares in navy, white, green, red and grey

#wipwednesday and the pile of knitted squares is growing (need 48 in total though!) 🧶

There’s a great piece on the iplayer too - about 20 minutes long - where he talks about Detectorists - would definitely recommend.

This week’s #SewAndTell theme is basics - and you don’t get much more basic than a T-shirt! This is the French Navy Stellen T, plus me looking a bit early morning/ stunned #sewing #garmentsewing

Absolutely beautiful

I love this (obviously still haven’t got around to making it)!

Wow, that is fantastic

Today’s #FiberuaryChallenge is Outside - here’s my favourite outside knitting spot (tea/ wine optional) 🧶

Definitely - I am a sucker for a challenging pattern!

Five knitted squares in navy and white wool - different stitches and colour work but hopefully they will all fit together!

#FiberuaryChallenge day 4/ #wipwednesday Knitted blanket squares for an old people’s home near my work (lots more to go!)

Still catching up with #FiberuaryChallenge ! Yesterday’s prompt was Mood - my favourite mood is Fibre Mood sewing patterns (despite the tracing). I’ve been wearing this shirt this week #sewing

This is spectacular! Lovely work

They are all beautiful but I especially love the embroidery

It’s beautiful - but I know what you mean, I’ve definitely got some “fell in love with pattern but rarely wear the finished article” makes too much sense

For #SewAndTell this week the theme is BOLD - here’s my favourite Alexander Henry fabric, Frida’s Garden, as a much-worn skirt. I also made a sleeveless pussy bow blouse with the rest of it, and teeny bits went into a quilt #sewing

That’s fantastic, love the fabric and the buttons! Thanks again for curating this every week, it’s always a fun thing to do and see.

Fiberuary Challenge prompts

Just found #FiberuaryChallenge (a day late, obvs!). I’m usually knitting, sewing, embroidering with a bit of tapestry, occasional weaving and mending etc, London-based, like to travel, go to live music, bit of a sci-fi nerd

Thank you ☺️
