October 13, 2010 Kristen Jancuk
I've got picures to show you guys. TWO projects, in fact. Blogger is having none of it. I'll mark this down as day # 11 squillion that I'm having issues with Blogger.

I really should find a new home . . .

Stash (just a peek) I’m going to combine today’s prompt with yesterday’s and show you some stash purchased from my local yarn shop, @knothouseyarns! There are actually several LYSs closer to me, but The Knot House in Frederick, MD has the best selection of dyers, and the nicest owners. Plus, they host the most amazing pop-up during Maryland Sheep and Wool—I’m already looking forward to it! (Oh, and my dad and sister also live in Frederick; they’re pretty cool too.) Tap the photo see what’s what. #fiberuary #fiberuarychallenge #stash #stashenhancement #lys #yarnporn
We had another snow day today—I am so over winter. Fortunately I’m currently bringing a little summer into my life: a project in linen yarn and sand & sea colors. 😍 #nomorewinter #snowday #knitdesign #linenyarn #louet #summerknits
💖 G I V E A W A Y T I M E ! 💖 It’s hump day, it’s a snow day, and it’s Wine Wednesday—how about a little giveaway to celebrate? On March 4 I’ll be kicking off another run of my signature e-course, Swatch Master, a 4-week online workshop all about swatching, gauge and setting yourself up for knitting greatness. For more details about the course, hop over to mediaperuana.com/swatchmaster Spaces are filling up, so before enrollment closes, I want to give YOU a chance to win a spot in this year’s class! ↪️For a chance to win FREE enrollment in this year’s Swatch Master session: 1️⃣ Follow @mediaperuana 2️⃣ Leave a comment and tell me your biggest frustration with swatching 3️⃣ Repost this photo to spread the word! This contest is open through Saturday, February 23, and I’ll announce the winner on Sunday. And I’ll have a special enrollment discount for everyone who participated but didn’t win—because I really want you all to become swatch masters! (Already signed up? You can still play along and I’ll refund your course fee if you win!) #swatching #swatchmaster #giveaway #knittingclass
“Set yourself up for greatness.” My yoga muse, @adrienelouise, reminds us of this often during practice, as she encourages her students to establish a solid foundation for each pose *first,* rather than rushing headlong into the posture. 🧘🏼‍♀️ As I’ve been preparing for the 2nd run of my e-course, Swatch Master, it occurred to me that this is exactly what it’s about: setting yourself up for (knitting) greatness! Swatching, as much as we might not enjoy it, is the solid foundation upon which we should build each knitting project. Swatching is not the boring preamble to the project we actually want to work on, it’s *part* of the project! Swatch Master is about swatching, obviously, but it’s really about so much more—learning why to swatch, how to swatch, and how to use your swatch to create an amazing finished project. When you swatch, you really are setting yourself up for greatness—it’s a gift to future you, who will be thrilled to have a beautiful finished knit that fits.

Attractive Men in Gorgeous Sweaters: Fully Clothed Edition. Apparently the whole world was shook when Shawn Mendes posed in his underwear last week—but he doesn’t look bad in this tweedy pullover either. What say you, @hazelmoon1? #mancrushmonday #mcm #shawnmendes
Sunday Funday Husband is still out of town so it’s wine, Valentine’s Day candy, my favorite cheesy rom-com and my Brioche Slouch Hat. #fiberuarychallenge #fiberuary #sundayfunday #winetime #selfishknitting #briocheknitting
Why am I making this ridiculous face? Catch up on the Hilo & Stitch podcast to find out! Episode 2: Eyebrows & Chipped Nails is now available. I recap my trip to Vogue Knitting Live NYC, talk about a lot of yarn, and apparently make this face. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Find it on YouTube, iTunes, Stitcher or your favorite podcast app. #hiloandstitch #knittingpodcast #sundayselfie
✨SWATCH ALL THE THINGS! ✨ Yessssss, swatching is awesome. It’s a good thing. It’s a necessary thing. And it’s the topic of my signature e-course, Swatch Master. ✨Enrollment is now open for the spring session of Swatch Master, which kicks off on March 4. A class all about swatching? Yep—swatching, gauge and establishing a firm foundation for future knitting success! ✨Over 4 weeks I’ll guide you through weekly lessons and a number of swatching exercises and gauge experiments to help you better understand why to swatch, how to swatch, and, most importantly, how to use your swatches to make your knitting projects fit, flatter, and fulfill your expectations (spoiler alert: it’s not JUST about gauge!). ✨The e-course includes 4+ hours of video instruction, an exclusive workbook, a private student Facebook group, and even some special bonus materials, all designed to take you from Swatch Skeptic to Swatch Master. Click the link in my bio or hop over to mediaperuana.com/swatchmaster to learn more, and don’t miss out on intro pricing—for this first week of enrollment ONLY, I’ve slashed 25% off the regular price! #swatchmaster #swatching #swatchallthethings #knitdesign #harrisvilledesigns
💖 HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY 💖 I hope you have a relaxing day full of knitting planned to celebrate how much you love YOURSELF! Because that’s what it’s really about. 🥰 I’m planning to treat myself to a new pattern today (the Brioche Slouch Hat by @lavanyapatricella—who happens to be celebrating a birthday today, go wish her a happy one!), and cast on a project just for me me me! (I also have 2 school Valentine’s Day parties to attend, plus speech therapy for my youngest, so knitting probably won’t be happening until this evening—with a glass of 🥂!) If you’re also planning to treat yourself to some new patterns today, you can take 25% off your pattern purchase in my Ravelry shop (including this one, Currituck Sound)—use code IHEARTU at checkout.

Mine. Mine mine mine and you can’t have any! 😍😍 So many thanks to Candice, @thefarmersdaughterfibers, this pullover design is going to be A. MAZ. ING! I’m legit annoyed that I have to finish several other projects before I can get started on this one. Maybe I’ll just do a leeeetle swatching... #farmersdaughterfibers #yarnporn #yarnaddict #knitdesign #sweaterknitting
