I usually like to mix up the things I design, but I had so many sock ideas this time I just couldn't help myself! This yarn is @edencottageyarns.bsky.social Brimham 4ply in Granite and it's gorgeous! #MarischalSocks #LizCorkeKnits #Knitting 🧶

I used @edencottageyarns.bsky.social Brimham 4ply in this stunning colourway called Hosta for Gean. It's a really nice bouncy yarn and I love working with it. But you can use your favourite sock yarn instead! Check out my testers projects on my blog for ideas! #GeanSocks #LizCorkeKnits #Knitting 🧶

FFS! I finally get to bed after a long 48 hrs of a&e, hospital visits, & no sleep; ready to luxuriate in having my bed to myself (a rarity), and then find there are FOUR spiders in my bedroom. So now I’m really paranoid about more appearing 😭 I must have done something wrong!

Sunday stitches. I’m in my pink era. It seems to happen every summer 😄

I’ve been photographing yarn today but the sun has come out and put a stop to it! I’ll get what I’ve done onto the website anyway, the rest can wait 😊 #YarnSky

Climbed Helvellyn on Saturday - up Swirral Edge then down Striding Edge, contrary to everyone else. Absolutely brilliant day out, a bit of a challenge but really fun. Proud of myself ❤️‍🔥

#ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 Another favourite indie dyer is Victoria @ @edencottageyarns.bsky.social - beautiful tonal colours on soft as butter bases

My design Imbolc a shawl, knit in Eden Cottage Milburn 4ply colour Natural
A closeup of the centre back hem of a triangular shawl. The shawl is knit in an off-white yarn, and has clear silver-lined beads dotting the shawl and the lace hem.

Lucky Dip Cowl, by Victoria Magnus. Tiny 50metre balls of yarn in lots of different 4ply yarns, striped with Eden Cottage Milburn 4ply in a dark plum purple separating the stripes. Made from a kit

A skein of salmon pink yarn lies on the pretty flowery paper it came to me wrapped in.

Eden Cottage Keld Twist in colourway Dianthus, a lovely rich salmon pink. Keld has a little bit of linen in the mix, which gives it a slightly marled appearance. Still haven't decided what this will become.

A skein of pink yarn lies on a white cloth. The yarn has a paper skein band around its middle.
Eden Cottage Hayton 4ply in colourway Dianthus. This yarn was part of a Yarn Club some years ago. I really want to pair it with a green yarn, but have yet to find the right shade of green.

I can only walk roughly a mile at the moment and am trying to make the most of it. So today took the opportunity to do hill reps on the only hill for miles around. 🥵 It only added up to about 120m but it’s better than nothing! 💪

I’ve been photographing yarn today: superwash extrafine merino/linen 4ply. It looks rustic but feels super-soft 😍 Am going to get more tea (see mug pic) and go add it all to the website, then reward myself with a new cast on 😁 #YarnSky #Yarn #Wool #EdenCottageYarns

A handmade mug which is cream with tiny black splatter spots, and then has larger dark blue spots painted on. It has text in a typewriter style font which says knit happens.

Yesterday I bought the knit happens mug; today I bought this companion for it. I always have one project of each on the go so it only seemed right to have both mugs 😅 They’re from Pottery By Isla - she’s on Etsy if you want to check her out. 😍 Yarn minder from The Knitting Gift Shop.

New knitted cowl kits are available! They’ve got a 50g ball of Milburn 4ply for the main colour plus seven 5g Yarnlings™️ for the stripes. Plus b&w print pattern (colour version is a few digital download) and optional ECY project bag. www.edencottageyarns.co.uk/collections/...

I bought a couple of things early on at Spring Into Wool: both from Pottery By Isla who is VERY talented. 😍😍😍 I’m going to have to get a crochet mug too as I always have one of each on the go and I can’t use the knit mug whilst I’m crocheting - that would be sacrilege 😅

edencottageyarns.bsky.social @edencottageyarns.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

We’ve had a great day at Spring Into Wool today, despite me suffering with my back (so that says a lot about how nice it was!). 😍

edencottageyarns.bsky.social @edencottageyarns.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

Finished! Really enjoyed making this - ideal project to distract me from pain but not be too complicated to concentrate on, and really chuffed with the finished object. 😍 Yarn is Milburn 4ply - BFL/silk

Selfie of me wearing a handknit hat which has a houndstooth colourwork pattern to it. It looks like lots of little squares but on each side in the left corner there’s a little bump.

Holding the hat in the sunlight so that the contrasting colours stand out. The main colour is natural cream and the contrast colour is a darkish but soft pink.

Back still sore but managed to pack up my hand dyed yarn yesterday ready for Spring Into Wool. This is the box of fluffy Lowther Lace - the softest baby alpaca/silk 😍

#WIPWednesday - Rokeby Hat (pattern by me) in Milburn 4ply (BFL/silk -one of my yarns). I’d forgotten how enjoyable this colourwork is to make! It flows so nicely. Onto the crown decreases next. 😍 #Knitting #Wool #BritishWool #EdenCottageYarns

A partially made hat which is cream with a darkish pink houndstooth pattern knitted into it.

The same hat again but from a slightly different angle so you can see that the contrast between the colours is good.

Etymology of the day: ‘book’ comes from an ancient root shared by ‘beech’, a wood that people used for engraving inscriptions. ‘Paper’ comes from ‘papyrus’, and ‘volume’ is from the Latin for a ‘roll’ of parchment. Happy World Book Day.

The sophie scarf is ideal car knitting. I’m thrilled with how it looks in 2 strands of Staveley

Some pics from today’s walk in the sunshine - the very best kind of escapism. And yes almost all the pics have Luna in them 😆

A pond amongst the woodland with a black labrador running towards the camera, from the pond which she jumped in

More woodland, with a black labrador sitting almost behind a tree but peering around it towards the camera (because I had her ball in my hand)

Cardio session at the gym tonight to replace running whilst my foot’s being pissy. I do warm up but my hands don’t always so yes I wear gloves at the gym and tonight’s happen to be handknit. They’re warm and breathable merino #wool so why not!

A pair of handknit fingerless mitts are on top of an indoor bike, along with a pair of headphones and a bottle of water.

I can’t run at the mo (foot pain where scar tissue is) so am persuading myself to get to the gym and do my cardio there instead but what I really want to do is knit by the fire 😑🤦😅

Am dyeing more of the supremely soft and luxurious new Staveley 4ply today - it's superwash ultrafine merino/cashmere/silk and it sold like hotcakes at Unravel a couple of weeks ago! There's currently all of ONE skein left 😅 www.edencottageyarns.co.uk/collections/...

A skein of soft and gently shiny 4ply yarn in a very soft warm pink shade.

Aww, lots of lovely replies waiting for me this morning! Thankyou! Here are some pics from my six mile hike on Saturday to start with :) I’m busy dyeing Keld Aran (merino/linen) as we speak.
