My testknit magiclands wrap by @ambahobrien.bsky.social using my Nebula kit is getting too big to photograph well. The light pooling and streaking across the dust clouds of the nebula makes my 💛 sing. The tiny pops of pink & blue speckles amidst the other speckles are everything I had hoped for 🧶

Nebula kit being knit up in @ambahobrien.bsky.social magiclandswrap design 🧶 I seriously couldnt be more thrilled with how this is knitting up. Im loving the little pools of light scattered and bunched up in the dark section. Love the stepped band of the main colour along the right side 😍#knitsky

I made a start on my brioche border of my mkal shawl Im planning on doing the 3 brioche sections but im also itching to cast on a special testknit as well so i might set this aside for a little bit 🤔 Pattern by westknits 1 kit of this is still available at my etsy #knitsky 🧶

Clue 3 is done! I have yarn in the oven, tomorrow I will be working at the garden centre so today is for knitting 😍 Pattern by Westknits I have one of this kit thats dyeing now on singles (Electric Blue, Purple Blush, Pink Dream, and Peach Burst on mohair and singles) in the shop.

Hem completed! Time to pick up stitches for the button band I love the colour pop inspired by the bright colours of the snow gums bark. Pattern by @ambahobrien.bsky.social Jolly Cardy still currently in testing 🧶: Winter Whisper kit with mohair options held double (link in bio) #knitsky

Just a little bit of progress to show today Jolly Cardy being test knit for @ambahobrien.bsky.social using my Winter Whisper kit on Singles with mohair held double. Im using 5 colours of mohair for the body and Im dyeing up the same contrast colour on mohair for the button & waistband 🧶 #knitsky

I forgot to take photos yesterday and I made a lot of progress 😂😍 Testing the Jolly Cardy for @ambahobrien.bsky.social using my Winter Whisper kit with the 5 mohair options, thinking of dyeing a 6th & using the bright 100g skein for the waistband & collar held with the same colour mohair 🧶#knitsky

I havent been able to put it down 😍 So making progress on the sleeve and thinking about what colour to use for the collar, button band and waist. I could use the bright golden greenish colour or the more subtle blended skein I think im going to knit the rest before deciding 🧶 #knitsky

Next week these beauties + more will be available at cosy cottage yarns They will be revealed once they go live but this was a quick snap I took when developing the exclusive colourways. There are 3 bases to pick from so you can mix and match bases and colours for your projects. 🧶 #knitsky

day 4 of my woolsia shawl 💛🌸🌞🧶 Im using leftovers of my Spring Sunrise kit and adding the next colour when the one I’m using runs out. Im wondering if i should keep it just the warm colours or if i should add the blue for a few rows 🤔 Pattern by @ambahobrien.bsky.social #knitsky

Played with some blue and yellow combinations for a custom order 🤍🩵💛💚💙 on Twist DK Love the green that comes from this combination Hopefully this has hit the right colours for the customer and we can come up with a coordinating skein or two 😍🤔 #knitsky #yellow #blue #green 🧶

Making progress on my woolsia shawl using leftovers of my Spring Sunrise kit Im just joining the yarn as the colours run out so I’m using every bit of 🧶 i can and its working out beautifully 💛🌞🌸 added bonus: its easy to knit but gives a stunning result Pattern by @ambahobrien.bsky.social #knitsky

getup.to/nmrkqAuPCejGFA Sign the peririon to ban gambling advertising on AustralianTV (i think it should be expanded further but this is a step) Photo from the link shows an old tv against an orange background with white text on the screen saying: ban gambling ads now

Yarn prepping for 2 customers + @ Cosy Cottage Yarn. Im the featured dyer for September so I have a bunch of new colours drying on the line + some mohair to dye tomorrow to go with the new colours 🧶 If you’re in Perth next month you should make a note on your calendar, save a date & pop in #knitsky

LUXURY bases: new Winter Whisper listing Im doing a limited dye run with MCN & Silky Sock bases. I’ve dyed both bases on 100g skeins before, the minis are new. So going to dye Winter Whisper, then I will also add the options for Nebula & Rose kits later 🧶 loveandspeckles.etsy.com/listing/4346...

I was asked to dye some Nebula variations: a lighter 100g skein and fluff So now you can have 5 fluff colours or just the 4 you prefer and a gorgeous skein i couldnt help naming Nebula 25B is its default name but Starlight seemed perfect 🧶 #knitsky loveandspeckles.etsy.com/listing/4325...

I played with some Nebula kit skeins and im now watching (hovering really) while there is a bit of sunshine after some heavy downpours. The light blue is an extra fluff colour to go with the kit and the lighter 100g skeins are an alternative to the darker 25: Expanse option #knitsky #crochetsky 🧶

Ive made a Mohair and Bonus extras listing for the Nebula kit. From left to right mohair are Nebula 26, 27, 28, and 29. The two fingering skeins are Nebula 25 Expanse (i couldnt resist giving this skein a name based on the large section of the inspiration image that inspired it) #knitsky 🧶

Nebula kit in video (wobbly 😂) format, no sound cause I have no idea how to add it outside of instagram 🤣 All minis in this batch are dyed & can be shipped quickly. Kits with addons will take a little longer as theyre dyed to order 🧶 #knitsky #crochetsky loveandspeckles.etsy.com/listing/4325...

The full kit reveal of Nebula: Vera C. Rubin Observatory capturing the dark and glowing colours of the Triffid & Lagoon nebulas Ive edited the listing to show the new photos. Ill add the add on listing soon so if you want to grab just the fluff and 100g skein (or add them to your kit) 🧶 #knitsky

Some Nebula kit add on skeins: mohair fluff (4 colours) & 100g skein out on the line. Im really pleased with the little pops on these 😍 Today is predicted to be a little bit cloudy but no rain so Im making use of the fresh air and sunshine to finish drying these skeins #knitsky #crochetsky 🧶

Nebula: Vera C. Rubin Observatory kit with all the minis dyed. Second and third photos show the last 8 colours to pop out of the dyepots 🩵 My aim was to capture the combination of darkness, glowing caramels, and bright nebula. Im feeling pretty pleased with the combination :) 🧶

Still working on my Nebula: Vera C. Rubin Observatory kits and this is the first 8 colours out of the dyepots inspired by the photo of the Lagoon and Triffid nebulas released from the observatory 🧶 #knitsky #crochetsky loveandspeckles.etsy.com/listing/4325...

Some of the trays in the oven 😍 Working on the Nebula colours today. I think I will wait for these to dry before i dye the last 8… i have some alternative plans swirling in my head 🤔 #knitsky #crochetsky #yarn 🧶

First 8 dyed colours for the Nebula: Vera C. Rubin Observatory kit. Im imagining these somewhere near the middle of the 24 colours. I have yarn prepped for the next dyeing session and have a vision mapped out for the colours ✨🌌 #knitsky #crochetsky 🧶 loveandspeckles.etsy.com/listing/4325...

Perth has some sun today to yarn is out drying while I pack kits and keep a close eye on the clouds. I dont entirely trust winter sun to stay sunny😂 Im thinking of these colours as the middle of my Nebula kit but we will see what the magic of dyeing process produces as well 🧶 #knitsky #crochetsky

Developing colours for the Nebula: Vera C. Rubin kits. These colours are inspired by the image of the Triffid and Lagoon Nebulas I think i have the dark + golden glowing vibe down 😍 Cant wait to see how they dry #knitsky #crochetsky 🧶 Link to listing ⬇️ loveandspeckles.etsy.com/listing/4325...

I had a ooopsie dyeing some Platinum Dk and Singles. They should look like the labelled skein a more uniform peachy orange, instead i messed up and have made a more variegated skein with pinks and yellows. They are super pretty but I’m listing them as Rose Garden 25*LIMITED 🧶 #knitsky #crochetsky

Just twisted and labelled the last 8 colours of the Winter Whisper kit, so 16 are now done. Just got to do the next 8 tomorrow 😍 the bonus skeins are cooking in the oven 😍 Minis 9-24 on Suri Silk Fluff. Its a bit later in the day so the colours arent quite right in the afternoon light🧶 #knitsky

Im so inspired the Triffid and Lagoon nebulas photo by @vrubinobs.bsky.social Im not yet sure if this will be a fade but it will be 24 minis with these colours and have speckles: bright pinks, peachy tones, bright light blues, dusky golden browns and darker moments

Just relisted the Autumn Storm kit I have some Suri Silk Fluff minis that i could dye with these colours so let me know if you want them I also have an idea for another festive kit as well (inspiration has hit) going to post that idea tomorrow🧶 #knitsky loveandspeckles.etsy.com/listing/1761...

Just twisted and labelled the first colours of my Winter Whisper: Australian Snowy Mountains redye and heres 8 of Suri Silk Fluff minis to admire 😍 Will hopefully dye the rest this week I have a couple of each type of non fluff kits available loveandspeckles.etsy.com/listing/1892... #knitsky 🧶

My #neonsunshineshawl is done! Its SO cold and wet these last few days I’m going to hold off blocking till its going to be sunny next week. Now its time to consider what i will make for the KAL! Yarn: Spring Sunrise kit + Azure Pattern by @ambahobrien.bsky.social #knitsky 🧶

A peek at yesterdays stall. I ended up having to shift the two tables over a little to fit in another stall (amazing organic mohair so that was super interesting seeing it in its natural form!) It was so lovely meeting people but Im absolutely exhausting (thats me done for the year! 😂)🧶 #knitsky

I just listed individual skein options for the Rose Garden: Arrangements kits Offering Kidsilk mohair, Suri Silk Fluff, Twist sock, Singles, Platinum DK, Twist DK, 50g Singles, 50g Twist Merino Pick the base then select the number that corresponds to the colour. Left to right 1 to 24 #knitsky 🧶

Heres my Rose Garden kit in video format I have no idea how to add music outside of instagram so enjoy sound free yarn 😂 🧶 #knitsky

The Rose Garden: Arrangements kit in full 😍 I settled on a 100g colour that is a slightly more saturated version of what skein 22.5 would be (sitting in between the golds of skein 22 and the peachy pink of skein 23) I’ve dyeing the dark mohair colour on 100g skeins now. #knitsky 🧶

I dyed the mohair to go with the arrangement the of yarn in the first photo and really love the arrangement of minis in the second photo. My idea is to have the mohair playing with the colours underneath. Start wherever you want, mix and match the mohair wherever you want.

Ok so now I have this dilemma! How do I order the Rose Garden: Arrangements minis? Im thinking of dyeing the mohair addons so they shift some yellows on the pink minis and some pink on the yellows, just giving it a bit more depth of colour 🤔 #knitsky 🧶 loveandspeckles.etsy.com/listing/4310...

Twisted up minis so I can make some decisions about what mohair colours to create. These are the minis for the Rose Garden: Arrangements kits. I haven’t decided which skein is going to be the start but as you can see in the last photo you could decide to start anywhere in this set #knitsky 🧶

A bunch of rose colours drying in the sun on a rack 🌞 Its been raining lots here so I’ve taken the moments of sun and put the rack outside while sitting right next to the sliding door in case it rains a little 😂 Link to the listing: loveandspeckles.etsy.com/listing/4310... #knitsky 🧶

Well Im a bit behind today so heres the photos of the last 8 roses colours I’ve dyed. As always they look more intense at this wet stage so got them inside drying with a fan on them (its cold and wet which is perfect weather this time of year) #knitsky

First 16 colours of The Rose Garden: Arrangements Im thinking about the peachy gold tones & reds next with them possibly meeting up in the middle. I will have the last 8 minis dyed this week so wait times on these will be much shorter than listed 🧶 link in bio to etsy #knitsky

#neonsunshineshawl has its final sun completed 🌞 I still have some rows of Azure to complete before casting off Pattern by @ambahobrien.bsky.social will go live 20th June just before the KAL starts Yarn: Spring Sunrise + two 100g skeins (i chose Azure)🧶 #knitsky

My #neonsunshineshawl is so pretty 🌞 Its going to be cool and wet all week which is delightful for the environment & wearing snuggly knitwear, so getting this one knit as fast as i can 😍 🧶 @ambahobrien.bsky.social will have this pattern go live before her Solstice KAL #knitsky

Some peeks at whats been in my dyepans today & yesterday Developing the Rose Garden: Arrangements mini skeins. The colours are always more intense at this stage: the yarn is wet + there is still dye floating around Im going to take tomorrow off, I will prep yarn for the next colours #knitsky 🧶
