Hello! Marta here, I have TWO finished items for you today! I’ve been focussed on finishing a garment and an amigurumi and can’t wait to show you them plus news of a 15% Socktober discount from me!
I'm a crochet designer, so to keep up to date with all my news, get my 25 Crochet Tips pdf AND receive my biggest discount codes (including 30% off in October), you'll want to subscribe to my mailing list!
The crocheted jumper which I finished is made following the design on the cover of Moorit, issue 1! The pattern is called Cumulo and it’s by Liliana Buce-Chmelko. I’m using Drops Andes which I hadn’t used before but which I’m finding fabulous to work with! You can still find digital copies of issue 1 on the Moorit website here.
I also finished an amigurumi project! I thoroughly recommend any of Jen Schenkel’s amigurumi animal patterns to you! The pattern I followed was Philip the Lobster from the book Pica Pau 2, buy here on Amazon
The knitted jumper I’m working on sleeve 2 of is the Little Bousta Yoke by Gudrun Johnston. I'm using Shetland jumper weight wool from various sources, some from old cones, some Jamieson's which I purchased in The Woolly Brew, Pittenweem. Find the pattern on Ravelry here.
I’m continuing to make solid progress with my new Tunisian crochet project! It’s the Rancher Shawl by Toni Lipsey and I’m really enjoying this slightly different technique to regular crochet!
The yarns I’m using are from Pigment & Ply and For The Love Of Yarn
The socks which I've begun crocheting following my own sock pattern, Dunkeld Slipper Socks, aren't going so well, but they will improve when the yarn arrives from New Lanark Spinning Co. Make sure that you're signed up to my mailing list to be first to know of that release!
The new quilted project bag is from Rachael at Sew Ray Me.
The Harris Tweed project bag is from Kalok Shek Ellen
The Yarn Worm Collector sticker was from Qwerty Cat Shop on Etsy
The blog post I mentioned all about Socktober is now live too!
If I've missed anything or you'd like more info, please do give me a shout!
Until the next episode, happy crocheting,
Marta xx
