My Aranacci Shawl was published in Knotions online magazine back in April (so long ago and yet no time at all ago simultaneously! 😅) Now it has been added to my own shop, Etsy, @makerist and @lovecraftsknitting , so it's even easier to find 😀 (I know I'm biased, but it's a lovely knit! An easy cable (seriously, only 3 different rows in the whole cable), relaxing garter stitch, and eyelets in a Fibonacci sequence 😊) It's reversible, unisex and so nice next to the skin - that's the lovely yarn Nua Worsted from @stolenstitches ❤️ I'll put a link in my Stories if anyone wants more details 🙂 #newpattern #fibonacci #aranaccishawl #aranaccessories #nuaworsted #shawlpattern #shawlknitting #shawl #shawlknittersofinstagram #shawlknitter #shawlknittingpattern #shawlknit #shawlknittingpatterns #shawlknittinglove #shawlknits #irishdesign_irishcraft #irishcraft #irishdesign #irishknitting #newshawlpattern #reversibleknitting #fibonaccisequence #fibonacci_ratio #fibonaccifibonacci #secuenciafibonacci #fibonaccinumbers #stemknitting #steamknit #fibonaccieverywhere (at Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiPUGxcIIn7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Would anyone like to test knit a cosy cable knit beanie just right for Autumn? If so, please let me know in the comments! My latest beanie design, the Ballybrit Beanie, is ready for test knitting 😀 It's a one-skein knit in Aran or worsted weight yarn, comes in 3 adult sizes, and is knit in the round using 2 sizes of circular needle. The cable is not particularly difficult, but there is some juggling of the stitch marker involved, so I think it is a good intermediate (or confident beginner) level knit 🧶 #testknitting #testknit #cableknitbeanie #beanieknitting #testknitterswanted #aranaccessories #knitstagram #knitting https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch98o0CoSBW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Beautiful blue skies ahead of us for the next week 😃🌞 You can see O'Brien's castle and a Martello tower on the right here - the tower was built on Inis Oírr's highest point (to keep watch in case of an invasion by Napoleon...) #inisoírr #oileáinárann #aranislands #wildatlanticway #wildatlanticwayislands #wildatlanticwaygalway #visitgalway #visitireland #inisheer #irishcastles #martellotower #westofireland #irlandia #irland #irlande #irelandaily #irelandwest #ireland #stonewalls #galwaybay #obrienscastle #summerinireland #sunnydayinireland #instaireland #irishislands (at Inis Oirr, Aran Islands) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChAR8vKIKxq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Beirt Aran Beanie is *nearly* ready to go - but I would love to see a few tester versions first! If you would like to test knit this hat, please comment below ⬇️ The hat is knit in Aran or wosted weight wool, on 2 sizes of circular needle, and is a one-skein project (well, as long as the skein isn't tiny 😅) The hats pictured were knit in @brooklyntweed Shelter, @donegalyarns Soft Donegal and Aran Tweed, and @quinceandco Lark. Thank you in advance 😃 #testknitting #aranaccessories #beirtbeanie #donegalyarns #shelteryarn #brooklyntweed #aranknittingpattern #aranbeanie #testknitterswanted #testknit #testknittersneeded #testingtesting #softdonegaltweed #arantweed #woolbeanie #irishdesign https://www.instagram.com/p/CfbxN8loc7-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

As some of you know (dear newsletter subscribers & blog readers!) I've been working on an Aran version of the Beirt Beanie. It's taken a while because I've worked the crown decreases 3 different ways! And that's where you come in... I like 2 of the 3 I've come up with, but I'm not sure if I should include both versions in the written pattern. Hopefully you can see the difference in the close-up photos here: the light green hat has a slight zig-zag in it (following the zig-zag motif from the main body of the hat, and the dark green hat has one continuous swirl. Which version do you prefer? I'll do a quick poll in my Stories, but you can comment here if that's easier or quicker for you. And thank you 😀 #aranaccessories #beirtbeanie #knittinginstagram #knittingdesign #knittingdetails #crowndecreases #newpattern #newknittingpattern #irishdesign_irishcraft #etsyprocess #etsymaker #knitstagram #instaknit #knitting #tricot #strikking #strikk #knittinginstagram #knittersofinstagram #newbeaniepattern #beanieknitting #aranknittingpattern #aranknitting #aranbeanie (at Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfHNmOfoTh3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I got soaked to the skin today walking the dog (thanks 'waterproof' jacket! 😄) - so I'm going to post a sunny photo to remind myself that they will return 😀 This is taken on Inis Oírr, looking across at Inis Meáin. This road was one of my grandmother's favourite walks on the island, as an Inis Meáin woman who moved to Inis Oírr when she married! She could look at her home island across the sea. #inisoírr #oileáinárann #aranislands #wildatlanticway #wildatlanticwayislands #irelandwest #ireland #irlandia #irland #irlande #irlanda #summerinireland #sunnydayinireland #irishscenery #inisoirr #inisheer #inishere #islandsofireland (at Inis Oirr, Aran Islands) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce54oi7IwH3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The pattern for these baby and toddler hats was originally published in @yourcrochetmag before Christmas, but I've just added it to my shop 😀 (and Ravelry, Etsy, LoveCrafts & Makerist). Most of my hat patterns are knit in the round, but this pattern is worked flat. It's a great stashbuster, particularly if you stick with the black and white chevron stripes, as they provide a visual break between the other colours 🙂 #aranaccessories #chevronhat #chevron #chevronstripes #knittingpattern #newpattern #newknittingpattern #newbabyknits #babyhat #babyknits #toddlerknits #stashbusting #instaetsy #instaknit #babybeanie #toddlerbeanie #loveknitting #etsyknitting #knitstagram #knityourowngifts #stripes #sticka #tricot #strikstrikstrik #knitting #babybeaniepattern #makersgonnamake #knittersgonnaknit #zigzagknit (at Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdaaJlTIO2a/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
