Sixth (?) time’s a charm—I hope! Designing involves a lot of experimenting, ripping back, and learning as you go. #knitdesign #sweaterknitting #handknitsweater #falliscoming
✨F R I E N D S H I P F R I D A Y C H A L L E N G E✨ Is Friendship Friday a thing? Let’s make it a thing! Because today’s challenge is a chance to do something nice for a friend. Read on! ✨ My new e-course, Sweater Siren, starts in just a couple weeks, and I can’t wait to start teaching a bunch of eager knitters how to charm their sweaters! (Click the link in my bio if you’d like to learn more.) So for today’s challenge/giveaway, I want you to tag a friend and tell me why you think they deserve to win FREE enrollment in this e-course! Maybe your friend is a new knitter who needs a skill boost, maybe it’s a friend who’s struggled to knit sweaters that fit, or maybe it’s a friend who just needs a pick-me-up and likes online workshops! Whatever the reason, leave a comment, tell me why your friend should win, and be sure to tag them so they know they’ve been nominated. ✨ On Sunday, June 23 I’ll pick 1 lucky nominee to win enrollment in the e-course, and I’ll have a little gift for the person who nominated them too! Join me to celebrate Friendship Friday and show your best knitting buddy some love! #friendshipfriday #sweaterknitting #knitsweater #handknitsweater
Happy anniversary Brujería! 🥳 One year old and this is one of my favorite (and most worn!) shawl patterns, I just love slipped stitches so much. Quick anniversary flash sale: today ONLY grab the pattern for just $4 with code WITCHCRAFT4. Plus, $1 from your purchase (and every pattern purchase through the end of June!) will go to @raicestexas. Click the link in my bio to shop. #brujeriashawl #tbt #shawlknitting #knitshawl
Dug out this beautiful tank top—pattern by Veronica Jobe in her @yarnonthehouse Best Friend line—I started last summer. I still have a ways to go but maybe I can actually finish it for *this* summer? I love this sage color and the cotton/wool blend is so light and airy. 😍 #selfishknitting #wipwednesday #summerknits
😍This match made in heaven! 😍 Some of my Patreon Patrons are getting a new perk this year—a brand new and exclusive pattern designed based on their votes! My Amigos+ Patrons have opted for a 2-color half-pi shawl, and it’s about time to cast on with these 2 skeins of single ply merino. It’s definitely summer but these colors have me dreaming of fall. (You can get in on the action by sponsoring MediaPeruana Designs and the Hilo & Stitch podcast on Patreon here: patreon.com/mediaperuana) #yarnporn #shawlknitting #knitdesign #handknitting
One of my greatest joys in the fall is pulling out my big pile of handknit sweaters from summer storage and getting them ready for autumn wear—airing them out, checking for any signs of wear, making repairs, steaming out wrinkles. It such a sense of pride, looking at my collection and knowing I’ll be toasty warm and adorably clad all through fall and winter because of my own hard work. 🧶 Not all knitters have that big pile of squishy sweaters, though. I know some knitters haven’t quite worked up the courage to try sweater knitting, and others have struggled to get a handle on knitting sweaters that fit correctly. I recently offered my free Sweater Jumpstart Challenge, which included 5 free sweater knitting mini lessons and the opportunity to work through a mini top down raglan to better understand its construction. Now I’ve got something even bigger to offer you: ✨S W E A T E R S I R E N✨ Sweater Siren is a brand new e-course designed to teach you to charm your handknit sweaters. Join me for this 4-week online workshop to discover how to knit sweaters that fit, flatter and last a lifetime. From the best fibers for your sweater projects to measuring and gauge to adjusting patterns for a custom fit, we’ll take a deep dive into all things sweater, and have you confidently knitting your own sweater just in time for sweater weather. 🧶 Enrollment is now open for Sweater Siren, and the course kicks off on July 1. We’ll work through the course material over 4 weeks and then cap it off with a sweater-a-long to get us ready for fall. Get $10 off the regular enrollment fee when you sign up by June 20! Click the link in my bio for all the details. I hope you’ll join me on this knitting adventure to learn how to charm your sweaters! #sweatersiren #MPDsweaterjumpstart #sweaterknitting #handknitsweater #knitsweater
🎶Back in the saddle again🎵 Saddles are done—now to figure out how to knit the entire rest of the sweater. 😂 #knitdesign #sweaterknitting #sweaterdesign #handknitsweater #julieasselin
“Caluroso” means hot—which is the kind of weather we usually have in June, but today is cool and gray so far. No complaints here, it just means more time spent in my cozy slippers. Loving this design but not sure about that fisherman’s rib? I’ve got you covered—there’s a tutorial on my YouTube channel (youtube.com/c/KristenJancuk)! And this weekend I’ll be recording another quick tutorial showing how I work the cable crosses in fisherman’s rib WITHOUT a cable needle. It makes these slippers an even quicker knit, you’ll love it! Last bit of good news: the Caluroso slipper socks pattern is now available over at @loveknittingcom too, if that’s your preferred pattern shopping site! #calurososocks #sockknitting #handknitsocks #woolberryfiberco
🍷Wine Wednesday🍷 Thank you for all the love you’ve shown Caluroso! They’re keeping my tootsies warm on this cool evening. I want to send a virtual glass of wine to all the people who helped bring this pattern to life: @woolberryfiberco for generous yarn support @meanestmommy for patient tech editing @finasc1109 @daritrout @littlebookofgoodthings Lisa and Grace for knitting through various versions of this pattern while testing Cheers! 🥂 #winewednesday #winetime #calurososocks #slippersocks #operationsockdrawer
🧦 N E W P A T T E R N D A Y 🧦 The Caluroso slipper socks pattern is now available on @hi.ravelry and I think you’re going to LOVE this one as much as I do! These slipper socks strike that perfect balance between simple and complex: a tried-and-true sock construction with a challenging stitch pattern that you’ll zip through once you get the hang of it: cables worked over fisherman’s rib! I adore the yarn I used in the sample: @woolberryfiberco Berry Sock. It’s not your usual SW merino blend—its blue-faced Leicester, which means these slippers are soft, sturdy, and have a lovely bit of halo. I took a peak at the shop and Bethany has quite a few skeins in stock (check out Palm Tree Breeze, what a perfect colorway for summer socks!). As promised, save $1 off the regular pattern price this first week—use code SUMMERSOCKS at checkout. (Subscribers, check your inbox for your discount code!) Click the link in my bio to grab the pattern! #calurososocks #socks #sockknitting #sockknittersofinstagram #handknitsocks #sockyarn
