after a little preview of heat over the weekend, we are back to mixed, impossible to dress for conditions 🌊🌦️ but now I remember just how hot it can get when the coastal sun unleashes itself, and how often I wore this faithful linen companion last summer

a (rather animated!) talk with Caroline of @honerocheir about the Nutiden May collection… This Swedish micro mill operates through patreon support to produce truly unique yarns, run in-person classes and events, and provide weekly video content. I am pleased to support them and work with them for the past 7 years, and undoubtedly they’ve had an influence on my work. Have a look 🪻

it’s hard to describe the feeling of living here… I try, but in honesty? I think the knits do it more justice than words
patterns: Siúla Vest + Mariner’s Beanie

It is often tricky to find a balance between designs that feel like ‘me’ and are also appealing to knitters with different stylistic preferences. When I manage to do it, is when I feel the greatest sense of accomplishment. And it is good 🧚🏻

Spring vibes… come in all shapes, colours and textures. Evoking associations with glistening seaweed, tilled soil, and rocks reflecting sharp morning light, this is very much a spring colourway to me. And of course the sweater is ideal for the weather, in the uniquely warm and lightweight @honerocheir yarns 🌊🌷
pattern: Ridge Pullover
yarn: @honerocheir Varv + Nutiden

In between hail storms, sideways rain, black skies at mid day, wind gusts that cancel flights, and other stormy delights… we get apologies in bursts of idyllic cerulean hues, rainbow infused, sun kissed and blossoming, birds singing, and all is forgiven… until the storm is back the next minute ☘️
It has not been an easy spring! But we persevere … and in beautiful sweaters of course. A preview of the new @StudioDonegal Collection is now up on my website, linked in profile 🧚🏻
