✨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. (Link in bio!) #valentinesday #curritucksoundshawl #patternsale #treatyourself #shawlknitting #shawlknittersofinstagram #handknitshawl
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
Fingering or bulky or ...? / Favorite color All weights and colors have their uses and appropriate projects—although I tend to favor rich, warm colors and don’t use bulky often! The key is to swatch so you know what you’re getting before you invest too heavily in that new sweater or shawl or hat. I know we’re supposed to hate swatching, and I’ll admit it’s not always my favorite part of knitting, but you can’t argue with the results. (And speaking of swatching, you saw that enrollment is now open for my signature e-course, Swatch Master—right? Link in bio to learn more!) #fiberuary #fiberuarychallenge #swatch #swatching #knitdesign
Coffee or tea? Coffee with a side of coffee! Definitely a ☕️ girl—unless we’re talking about coca tea, which I will always, always say yes to. #fiberuary #fiberuarychallenge #butfirstcoffee #sundaymorning #giftknitting #knitallthethings
No. 9 in my queue Clio by Elizabeth Doherty, @bluebeestudio! The cables, the texture, the neckline, the boxy shape and cropped fit—it’s all gorgeous. @magpiefibers has a sample of this one in her booth at shows and I stop to admire it every time. And one of these magical days, I’m going to find time to knit it! 📸 Blue Bee Studio #fiberuary #fiberuarychallenge #sweaterknitting #neverendingqueue #handknitsweater
Knit or crochet Knit knit knit knit! My crochet skills extend to a chain for a provisional cast-on and, more recently, a steek. Sometimes I think about trying to learn more, but let’s face it—I don’t need another fiber arts hobby! #fiberuarychallenge #fiberuary #swatching #knitdesign #swatchallthethings
💖 Throwback project 💖 Showing off one of my all-time favorite knits and designs—Cunningham Falls. (These colors are making me wish for fall again, even with spring around the corner.) #fiberuary #fiberuarychallenge #throwbackthursday #tbt #handknitsweater #sweaterknitting #magpiefibers #knitdesign
News designs are afoot! So many beauties it’s hard to decide where to begin. (Probably with my first deadline?) Tap the photo to see what’s what. #knitdesign #yarn #yarnporn #yarnsupport #swatchallthethings #shawlsandslippersandsweatersohmy
This is my Fiber Family This is a tough one—I’ve met many amazing knitters over the years, but sadly, local knitters have rarely been among them. Add to that a healthy dose of social awkwardness, and real life fiber friends have been hard to come by for me. (I swear when my kids are older, I’m going to start going to knit night!) The truth is, my fiber family is YOU—everyone who has joined me here on Insta for Wine Wednesday or bought one of my patterns or watched Hilo & Stitch. All of my Swatch Scholars and Masters, my test and sample knitters, and my Patreon Patrons. If you support MediaPeruana Designs in any way, I consider you part of my fiber family. 💖💖 #fiberuary #fiberuarychallenge #winewednesday #winetime #yarnporn #knitdesign
