Does your knitting change with the seasons? I’m excited to have shipped the last of the Autumn Bloom project bag pre-orders today so I can finish getting stock ready to list in the shop for those of you that have been waiting for my Autumn bags to come back - I’ll have a small update this weekend! I know I’m biased but there is something about having just the right bag for a project that makes me so happy ☺️🍂🧶 . . . #alexcollinsdesigns #projectbagmaker #projectbagsdontcount #projectbag #womenwhomake #91magazine_handmade #handprintedtextiles #knitknitknit #makersgonnamake #knittersgonnaknit #thefibrecolore #madewiththefibreco #doitfortheprocess #slowliving_create #knittersofinstagram
Do you swatch? I can’t imagine throwing caution to the wind and just launching into a project hoping it will work out but I know there are lots of non-swatchers out there! I didn’t get gauge right off the bat but now I’ve figured it out and I have my needles ready and yarn caked up I’m so excited to work on the #rifttee by @jacquelinecieslak. I’m using @thefibrecompany Luma yarn in Sherry which I think is going to be perfect for showing off the twisted rib details. (FYI...I work for @thefibrecompany so I didn’t have to pay for the yarn and the needle organiser pictured is from my shop - link in bio 😉✨) . . . #alexcollinsdesigns #wipsandblooms #knittersgonnaknit #knitallthethings #thefibreco #thefibrecoluma #madewiththefibreco #nevernotknitting #slowliving_create #knitknitknit #knittingisthenewyoga #cupsinframe #knittingaccessories #makerlife

Do you always have a pair of socks on the needles? They seem to be a constant in my knitting pile and they’re the perfect companion for an afternoon tea break ☺️🍂☕️ I’m using @littlebobbins Feathering the Nest stitch pattern to knit a pair of toe up socks with a Fish Lips Kiss heel in @thewoolbarn Twist Sock 4ply in Nougat. It’s hard to show just how pretty this yarn is as it’s so subtle but it’s a beautiful warm, natural coloured base with shades of brown and yellow speckles 💛 (ps...the block printed project bag pictured is from my shop - link in bio ✨) . . . #alexcollinsdesigns #featheringthenestsocks #thewoolbarn #sockknitting #operationsockdrawer #socktawk #wipsandblooms #91magazine_handmade #capturemycraft #knittingisthenewyoga #knitting_inspire #knitknitknit #knitallthethings #nevernotknitting #neverenoughprojectbags #projectbagsdontcount #projectbags #projectbagmaker #yarnlove
