Ziggy Scribs cowl is all finished! I decided to seam it up more than the pattern called for because I liked the smaller opening. . . . . . . #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #ravelry #briocheknitting #knitting #knitter #noroyarn #norotransitions #norotransitionsyarn #bristolyarn #surialpacayarn #2colorbrioche #ziggyscribs #ziggyscribscowl
Just finished 2 more projects. The purple and black is just a basic wide triangle shawl with a simple lace edging made with black Malabrigo Worsted held with Artyarns Silk Rhapsody Glitter color 138 S for the body and alone for the edge. The other is a cowl that I still have to seam a bit when it is done blocking called Ziggy Scribs by Lesley Anne Robinson made with Noro Transitions color 9, and Bristol Yarn Lafayette color 5293. . . . . . #ravelry #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #briocheknitting #ziggyscribscowl #malabrigoyarn #malabrigoworsted #artyarns #briochecowl #shawl #shawlknitting #shawlknittersofinstagram #noroyarns #norotransitions #bristolyarn

Whoever thinks yarn isn't punk rock, you obviously haven't met us mate! ๐ฅ Had a rad Sunday at @aushopuk craft club & obviously bought more rainbow yarn! Head over to Kim's place to buy all your crafty gear this Christmas - it's always best to shop small & local & she has projects & yarn for all price points. She also plays Avril Lavigne when you're walking around so you know it's punk rock too ๐
Huge thank you to everyone at #flocksouthwestyarnies who came and squished my yarn and fibre. It was so lovely to see you all and chat about wool. Thanks also to @mrb_birdstreetyarn and @clare_birdstreetyarn for organising and inviting Pixie Yarn along. Feet up with cuppa, while I think about making tea! . . #pixieyarn #handdyedyarn #yarnies #yarn #fibre #flock #bristolyarn #indieyarndyerslife #indieyarn #wool #knittingmeetup #crochetmeetup #
Ria Burns, surrounded by dreamy naturally dyed yarns in the studio ๐ Itโs worth keeping an eye on Riaโs updates for workshops, kits and new pieces on the newsletter linked on her bio! Fascinating learning more and more about what natural substances colours produce! E O T A #naturaldye #yarn #bristolyarn #bristolknit #knitwear #wool
A few weekends ago I went to visit my good friends at @aushopuk which was a long trip overdue since moving to Bath! ๐งถ It's an amazing yarn shop - I mean you tell me another one which has as many amazing yarns in, & Avril Lavigne playing on the sound system ๐ Kim who runs it has been a friend for a long time & is a proper amazing person, with the ethos of Alterknit Universe being just as epic. They care about people & it's such a positive place! ๐ Definitely check it out if you're in the Bristol area - with free parking & the only place where you can get Treble Maker shirts and totes left, it's worth going! ๐ See the photos to see Kim's handmade patch denim jacket, our stock, the obvious place where I grabbed & bought a skein & the most important shop window you'll ever see! ๐

Our regular yarn wall might be looking a bit sparse this week because weโve been finding it difficult to get anything to arrive from our supplier due to world wide shortages, but DO NOT FEAR! Weโve constantly got new stock coming and going and we can promise weโve got something for everyone. Have you seen all of our new season squishy goodies recently? #yarnshop #yarnshopping #bristolyarnshop #bristolyarn #knitting #crochet #doubleknitting #4ply #sockwool #aranyarn #chunkyyarn #superchunkyyarn
Today was the GRAND DEPARTY for 2021 Tour De Fleece. Hehe. We always have a nice giggle to celebrate this month-long event. Kate (our lovely party popper-er on the left) is thinking of challenging herself with some very hairy and loooong alpaca! Bev (in the background) is our top cheerleader, both in store and on Instagram @quiltingbee ๐ And Kim (right) is just pedalling away on some fun fleece sheโs got in her stash. Whatโre you gonna work on? Oh!

I finished my MrB socks earlier this week and still havenโt sewn the little hole at the heel or blocked them but hey I wanted to share!... they are shorties with a purl pair down the middle, it doesnโt show well but that was the most of a pattern I could manage - love these yarns and excited to cake up a couple more of my stash of @mrb_yarn @birdstreetuk yarns to start a shawl! ... but first housework booo... ๐๐งน๐ #socks #knittedsocks #mrbyarns #flock #bristolyarn
