I've not been posting much because my creative batteries were run down. Now I'm feeling more energised I decided to blog about it.

The latest Knitting Magazine has a supplement about knitting lace for the first time. It includes my Kiki pattern for a long crescent shawlette.
It's knitted in Uschitita Merino Sock and is ideal for that lovely skein (or seven) of 4ply you bought because it was beautiful.
I have several, yes several, patterns coming out in my two favourite magazines this week. First up is Achillea in @TheKnitterMag
It's knitted Vivacious Botanical, a new plant-dyed version of this lovely merino 4-ply from @fyberspates .
More fun with construction. The Viola shrug starts at the centre of the lace panel & work outwards, then there's modular construction for the back and the fronts before working the sleeves in the round.
It is knitted in @walcotyarns Origin. Pattern in @KnittingMag issue 261
Meet Marianne - a flowing cardigan with no seams. Starting at the centre back you work outwards to create the fronts and sleeves and then pick up stitches to work the lower body. It is knitted in @stylecraftyarn Recreate DK, & the pattern is in @KnittingMag issue 261 out today.
More tips this week. I've been working with cotton a lot over the past couple of sunny weeks and have some thoughts to share on using this type of yarn. Find them on my substack at open.substack.com/pub/bronag…
I'm now on the 5th or possibly 6th swatch of the day, so I've been thinking about all the good reasons we should all learn to love the swatch. You can read all about them at open.substack.com/pub/bronag…
It's been over a day since I shared a new magazine pattern with you but never fear, I've one left. 😃🧶
These are the Flower Bursts socks in @simplyknittingmag issue 262. These are made in West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4ply giving you a good choice of spring colours
A spot of spring inspiration today with my 3rd (are you keeping count) magazine pattern.
The Posy tee is all about vintage inspiration & is knitted in Eden Cottage Yarns Milburn 4ply. A good choice to try out a little lace in a garment.
It is in Knitting Magazine issue 259
Another day, another new pattern in a magazine on the shelves right now. TThe Gordale mitts feature a colourwork cable up the back of the hands.
I used baa ram ewe Pip Colourwork yarn - it comes in 36 fabulous shades including neons.
Find this pattern in @TheKnitterMag no 213
First new magazine pattern reveal.
Lillian in @KnittingMag 259 is a classic twin set with lace and a sleeveless top.
It's knitted in John Arbon Knit by Numbers so you have an amazing choice of shades - why not make it in two related tones like a dark and a light

The Purple Rain crescent scarf/shawlette was my 1st ever magazine commission - published in @KnittingMag 8 years ago today.
It's a one skein pattern so from time to time I make a new one when a fab skein of hand dyed (purple) 4ply happens to find its way into my stash. 1/2
