Fisherman's Life - Collector Colour

There’s something special about the sight of fishermen at work and the salty smell of the seaside that just screams SUMMER IS FINALLY HERE! This month’s collector colour is inspired by just that: the bold nautical reds and blues that dot the shoreline in the form of lighthouses, buoys, boats and fishing gear.

Koigu Hack: How to Fold Triangle Scarves

Koigu Hack: How to Fold Triangle Scarves

It may seem simple, but everyone is familiar with those pesky garments that are an awkward shape and you just can't seem to figure out how to fold nicely. Triangle scarves and shawl are one of those things! Taiu Landra, owner of Koigu, herself admits to not knowing how to nicely fold them until a few years ago, despite knitting countless triangle scarves over the years. 

Knit Process: Swatching

Knit Process: Swatching

As discussed in our previous post, its not always easy imagining colours together especially knit up in a pattern or stitch that you haven't tried before. Starting a big project right off the bat can be nerve wracking because of this, not wanting to spend countless hours and skeins on a colourscape and pattern you're not thrilled about. So, naturally, making a little tester (a swatch) helps!
