Wow, I have learnt how to download a video I made for IG/FB and repost here! And so here is a little reel re the Vinterland. I am going to have to make notes, I'll never remember... #knitsky #knitting

I made the Oslo (garter stitch week for #ShowMeYourKnits) but while I love the different coloured 'jewels' for the arms and body I think a plain colour, perhaps teal, would have been better for the yoke. #knitsky #knitting

Gosh, it's the bleak mid winter! 🥶 Luckily we can all wrap up warm with the Rambler, in 8 childrens and 8 adults sizes! Fun for all the family 🥰 😃 #knitsky #knitting

All lined up: lovely detail of Carol's Vinterland cardigan. Also what smashing buttons 🦆, some Ukrainian child will love this 🥰, it's the 3 months size. The pattern goes up to 8/9 years. #knitsky #knitting

Raspberry or vanilla? Two tasty Buggles recently finished! Peggy knitted the 2 years size and Karen knitted the 6 months size, they are both lovely. The pattern has 5 sizes: 3 months to 3 years. #knitsky #knitting

Liz has finished the 12 months Vinterland cardigan test and chosen the perfect buttons to go with it. Fab! She says: "Such a satisfying pattern with a squishy feel. Helpful photos for picking up the buttonbands. And the spacing of button hole guide is great." As is her cardigan! 💙 #knitsky #knitting

Tell me this is not the most adorable photo! 😘 Gai test knit the Vinterland pullover for a grand daughter and my does she look cute in this! 🥰 She's wearing the 3 years size; the pattern goes from 3 months to 8/9 years. #knitsky #knitting

Hurrah! A marvellous Vinterland cardigan test knitted by Diane. She has made the 4/5 year size but the pattern goes from 3 months to 8/9 years. She says: "Love the outcome of this test. Well done!" 🥰 I love this too, such nice colours. #knitsky #knitting

It's Xanadu Sunday! And what a difference colour makes. Paula knitted the pullover with bright bold solid colours whereas Callie made the cardigan version with lovely greens and purples. They both look terrific. 🏆 🥰 The pattern goes from 3 months to 8/9 years. #knitsky #knitting

I've knitted numerous mittens but don't seem to have taken photos of them. These two pairs were gifts some years ago for my sister and niece. #showmeyourknits #knitting

Yay the first of the test knitters has finished her Vinterland cardigan, and it looks smashing! 💙 Christine test knit the 2 years size, and it has a lovely Chanel vibe to it 🥰 #knitsky #knitting

There's two reasons I love this test knit. Firstly, because of the nutty brown colour but also because it's for a grandson so am really pleased the pattern can be for boys as well as girls. 🥰 #knitsky #knitting

About to do the best bit when knitting a cardi. And then ta dah! it's done! 😃 Apart from casting on for a new project, what's your favourite stage? The Vinterland cardigan, the pink one, being knit now along with the testers. #knitsky #knitting

Happy Monday. Another test knitter has started her Vinterland cardigan. Merle is knitting the 12 months size and it looks very sweet so far. 😘 Still a couple of the larger sizes left if you want to have a go! #knitsky #knitting

Another test knit has started! The Vinterland cardigan is now underway. Liz is knitting the 12 months size in a gorgeous petrol blue 💙 There are still a few places left if you are interested, link in comments. #knitsky #knitting

New year! New pattern! New test knit! The Vinterland has a cardigan version now and testers are needed. If you're interested pop over to the test to see what sizes are left 😃 Link in comments #knitsky #knitting #testknitting

Ever since I started designing kids' stuff I have been interested in how just a few different stitches can create interesting texture. This is the Tuppence, from 2017, the 12 month size, and I'm so pleased the knitter has said: "I have quite a lot of fun knitting it" 🥰 💚 #knitsky #knitting

This is so nice: Sophia is wearing her new Xanadu pullover which, I think, was knitted by her grandmother 🥰 The pattern goes from 3 months to 8/9 years. 💜 #knitsky #knitting

So have actually finished the Vinterland cardigan and am finalising the pattern. Watch this space! 💚 #knitsky #knitting

For #showmeyourknits #firsts this was the first cardigan I made myself (a long time ago!) and felt really pleased. The only quibble I had was the way the double ribbing joined the lacework but now I see that the pattern has been updated with single ribbing and it looks much nicer. Link in comments.

Pattern of the Year 2025: the Twist pullover (again!) 🏆 Perhaps no surprise then that the first finished project of 2026 was this lovely version knitted by Penny; it's going to be another winner I think. The pattern has 8 sizes: 3 months to 8/9 years. 😍 #knitsky #knitting

Do you know some little ones who were delighted with their woolly presents, and were keen to wear them? Here's the Twist cardigan being proudly worn (despite the button placement 🤣 😍). Happy New Knitting Year! #knitsky #knitting

So that was 2025! A slightly quieter year on the design front: a pullover version for the Gift, a lovely fluffy Vinterland, a 1960s inspired OpArt plus an adults' version of the Xanadu tank top. Let's see what 2026 brings. Happy New Year especially to my fabulous testers! 🎉 😍 🎆 🥂 #knitsky #knitting

Rats! Did you forget to buy a knitter friend a little something?! Why not gift them a pattern, it's easy through Ravelry and will be much appreciated 🎁 The Vinterland comes in 8 sizes, from 3 months to 8/9 years.

The problem with a top down cardi is once I get to the body all back and forth rows are a little tiresome. I must lean how to steek! #ShowMeYourKnits #knitsky #knitting

Another smashing Vinterland on a tester's needles for #wipwednesday! Margriet is knitting the 2 years size for her nephew. 😍 #knitsky #knitting

More delightful Vinterlands have been made by the testers. Lisa has knitted the 12 months size in purple, and Carol has knitted the 3 months size in pink. Gorgeous! 💜 💟 #knitsky #knitting
