idk what your all talking about tiktok rules

After scrolling through a bajillion pages of the current fad for greige 10 mohairs held together plain sweaters, I have finally found a designer worth buying patterns from! If only they had this scale pattern on a sweater!

[robotogato]

Ok. This is pretty neat. Makes me wish I knew how to knit.

[olderthannetfic]

Tragically, all the good tentacles are crocheted, not knit.

[olderthannetfic]

BTW, if anyone knows other Ravelry designers who give off similar vibes to Lavish Craft, I want their names! Or just your favorite designers in general as long as they aren’t PetiteKnit.

I’ve seen a lot of designs that are incidentally named after things from fantasy books, but the actual look of the piece wouldn’t tell you what it’s inspired by. I’m more interested in designers doing dragon scale designs or at least sweaters I can picture on a hobbit.

Fabel Knitwear has some pretty stuff, but I hear her gauge is weird af and her patterns are confusing. I have the Montmartre but haven’t made a serious attempt at it yet, so we’ll see what I think. I’m not finding the instructions bad, but I agree with all the nitpickers that her own knitting is that trendy airy bullshit where the needles are 5 sizes too big and you’re making up for it with hairy yarns. My sense is that she’s one of those designers whose shots of herself in samples are by far the best thing about the designs.

I’ve spotted a couple of things I want from Skeindeer Knits. Lots of classic looks there that I can’t easily get from a store.

Norah Gaughan‘s more whimsical designs, like this one and this one, might be up your alley.  (She has a lot of really basic stuff too, including at least a couple in the vein of the trend you mentioned, but she’s also a bloody wizard with cables and other interesting design elements.)

[olderthannetfic]

Oh man! I had not realized those were by the same person! I’ve run across both separate times and found them intriguing.

[loracarol]

You may like Dragon Lore? Or any of Alexandra Davidoff’s other dragon projects?

Her other knits are a range of “normal” to “fantasy-esque”, but I think they’re neat. :)

Niiiice

[sparklecryptid]

Some of Nim Teasdale’s designs give off similar vibes!

She also has a lot of lacework in some of her shawl designs but all are very pretty.

I’ve made her Goldleaf and Corozona patterns and I’ve found them easy to follow.

[morwentrouble]

May I introduce you to my knitting crush Tania Richter?

Her designs aren’t things a fantasy character would wear, necessarily, but *I* sure want to wear them as a lover of fantasy. (I haven’t sprung for any yet so I can’t speak to the pattern drafting functionality, but she seems to be popular which is a good sign.)

[olderthannetfic]

Ooh, I don’t think I’ve seen these yet.

I’m very excited about the recs you’re all giving me, especially the ones I’ve never seen.

When searching on ravelry, you can put a minus before a search term like so: -mohair. This will remove any patterns that identify as using mohair. This might make avoiding those kinds of patterns easier.

Here are some cool fantasy-ish pieces I’ve seen:

Olivia’s Cape by Amy Gunderson

The Seer by Ninja Chickens

Silversmith Hoodie by Meiju K-P

Dragon Scale Mitts by Colette Smith

Sekiryu Kimono Sweater by Tania Richter

Long Cardigan by Little Bunnyxx 

Firebird by Inna M (a colorwork chart)

Tahesha the dragon (ess) by Ina Wendrock (cable chart)

[olderthannetfic]

Interesting. I didn’t realize Ravelry search respected - notation like that.

Ooh, I’ve spotted Olivia’s Cape before, and I do indeed love it. Nice list here!

Kulabra Designs is also great for interesting, intricate colorwork!! Obviously, your choice of yarn really matters, but Natalia Moreva does incredible colorwork. The best part? Very rarely do you ever have to break your yarn. You might think you’re gonna have to weave in a million ends, but you don’t.

She also has a ton of extremely detailed colorwork socks, mittens, hats, and sweaters, but these shawls/scarves allow for such big, striking motifs, I had to show them.

[pointless-letters]

One of the best letters I’ve ever seen just popped up on my Facebook memories. Still makes me laugh.

[pointless-letters]

As today is the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, it’s a great time to revisit Dinah from Devon’s memory of this historic event. And yes, still makes me laugh.

[pointless-letters]

Today is the 54th anniversary of the moon landing, but Dinah’s diary entry is still absolutely magnificent.

[pointless-letters]

56th anniversary of the finest moment in human history…..and some folks landing on the moon.

Both of them talking about the Rodimus Star they were given... Mags looks pleased with himself and Megatron looks annoyed.
