♥️Have you seen our dear friend, @olgaputanodesigns new book “Only Yoking” yet?! One of the stunning designs, “Jana Sweater”, featured in the book is knit in our Roan DK! And good news y’all! We are busy prepping a restock of this base for the website in the next few weeks, so you have plenty of time to grab the yarn and head on over to @olgaputanodesigns page to pre order the book! I (Kelsey), had the joy of watching Olga’s design process while traveling to Florida with her last year, and I have to say, this book is a work of art! I’m so very proud of her and excited for her very first book launch! 🤗NOW! Can we PLEASE talk about these cables?!?! 😍 #Repost @olgaputanodesigns ・・・ I have one more cabled/textured yoke from my book to share with you (and one more colorwork yoke to reveal!). This is Jana sweater! Designed with @primroseyarnco Roan DK in “Twilight”. I loved working on this one! 😍 . You can preorder my book “Only Yoking” on several websites! If you’re in the US, you can also order it from my website with a choice of a signed copy if you wish. I’ll have the preorders up for a couple of weeks longer - if you want to make sure you get the book as soon as it is released in early April, I encourage you to order soon 🙃 . Thank you for all of your support and love for this project! I have one more yoke to show you tomorrow 🥰 . . . . #olgaputanodesigns #onlyyokingbook #janasweater #primroseyarnco #yokeknitting #yokesweater #cablesweater #cablestitch #instaknits #knitting #neulonta #tricot #tricotaddict #strikke #strikstrikstrik #knitknitknit #knitdesigner #knitdesign #designersoninstagram #knittingpattern #knittingbook #knitaddict #sweaterknitting #sweaterknittersofinstagram #sweaterknit #ourmakerlife #knitting_inspiration #knitspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/CpVXBDHLzaK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Textured Knits by Connie Chang Chinchio

The idea of textured knits may seem kind of obvious. People have been knitting textures ever since someone alternated knit and pearl stitches. But there are better and worse ways to think about the use of texture, just as there are in the use of color.

The Dress Doctors always wanted emphasis in a garment to draw up towards the face. What better way to make people notice you and what you are saying? This works clearly enough with necklines and collars, and with patterned and colored yokes. Yet many knitted patterns put all the interesting details of color and texture around the hipline. I suspect this is a matter of simplicity in creating different sizes by allowing the designer to skip any complicated explanations about how to cope with the shaping for the armhole. Vintage knitting directions are far more demanding and often command: follow in the stitch pattern so far as you can to the garment edge. 

Chinchio opts for bringing the detail up towards the face as you see here on book cover featuring the caramel Intagliata Henley. The pale blue Lustro Cardigan takes a similar approach by having the textured knitting at the shoulder area. While the burgundy Professora Cardigan and the taupe Raindrop Cardigan use the idea of texture running up the front opening the the cardigan (the raindrop refers to the decorative back of the cardigan, an effort which I never see the point of--unless you want to make a good impression while turning on your heel and stalking away?)

I especially like the sophisticated Anna Maria Cardigan with the pattern making its way up and along the V-neckline. I also appreciated the Tricia Wrap in in blue which skips the uniformity which many wraps demand in favor of a more interesting movement of the texture along the wrap.

I just finished this lovely piece, I’m obsessed with blue atm which doesn’t go with aesthetics funny bc it’s my first post. But yeah it was a freehand knit with a scroll lace pattern and chevron lace towards the top with denim ombre yarn from sugar n’ cream. I created and I-cord for it to tie in the back and yeah I’m proud of myself

I had to look up the original stitch pattern I got this from. I have modified it to my uses, but I was I wondering where I got the idea for doing a bobble (I call this one a bobblet because it is small) over 2 rows. This is made by working the increase on the first round, then working the body and decrease of the bobble over 3 rows (forward, back, forward & BO). It is so much more stable. Great place to use backwards knitting (from left to right) found via the link (videos too). link in bio. 🧶🤔😍 #knitting #textureknitting #bobbles #knitting #knittingtechniques #knittingstitches #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofig #knitdesign #knittingpatterns #fashionknit #passionknit https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn_DOx3LvKh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

‘time friction’

: Friction between two eras, two universes, two moments. When the vintage Nolywood aesthetic meets an alternative and subversive future at a present moment… A futuristic but yet nostalgic appoarch to this reality :
