Yoke Meditation Series No. 7 is here. Can you spot the animal?

I'm so happy to finally share with you the 7th design in the Yoke Meditation Series, and this one has an amusic side. The series has always been about getting lost in colourwork when life gets too hectic, or you just need a break from the world.

A sweater pattern I'm giving away for FREE ✨

Some patterns come from a moment of inspiration. This one comes from heartbreak. My newest design is the Children of Gaza Sweater. This is my first-ever FREE sweater pattern, and it exists because I believe that when words fail, we can spread a message through knitting.

When Christmas post nearly ruined my spring release✨

The Ailis Sweater draws inspiration from Bronze Age metals and oxidised copper tones. After early trials with a variegated yarn proved too busy for the colourwork, the design shifted to more solid, high-contrast shades. A series of delayed yarn deliveries over Christmas added some drama, but the final result was well worth the wait.

A cable cardigan that's as good to knit as it is to wear 😍

My new design, the Layan Cardigan, started with yarn. I saw this very interesting noodle-like looking yarn in the Artfil Yarns at Woolen Affair last year, and a new collaboration idea was born.

Another mitten inspired colourwork sweater 🤩

My new design, the Pasaka Sweater, is the second design in my collection inspired by traditional Latvian mittens. The mittens come from a region in Latvia where my mother is from, and in Latvian ethnography, it's well known for its highly detailed, intricate work.

Another stashbusting mission for colourwork sweater lovers 😍

I am so excited to introduce the Emel Sweater. This was my personal stash-busting mission to start the year. The name "Emel" means hopes and aspirations. I had a very ambitious goal for this project. I wanted to create a design that does not look like a typical stash-buster, but rather a purpose-made statement piece that I am excited to wear!
