It's a great pattern for using that precious skein of fingering weight as it both shows off the colours really nicely whilst breaking up the expanse of colour gently.

Light Trails is a shawl pattern that I'll be releasing soon, suitable for most weights of yarn. Doesn't the fingering weight sample look bonnie in Tale Weaver? Mount Doom is coming along in the Dk.

Bright trails of light and fire, with colours interweaving with each other as they travel. In the same way that stories may carry from one campfire to the next.

a shawl slightly folded on itself in places in vibrant purple teal and lime green lays out on a table, showing trails of doubled slip stitches travelling from the left to top right. At the bottom of the image is a curl of knitted fabric still on the needles showing the same doubled slip stitches in reddy oranges and gold.

Some new minis! I don't often do brights, but this one felt like it was very much needed. I wanted to add some brightness to the dreary wet weather, so I came up with something almost completely opposite of it. 🌦️

Introducing Household Magic, a self striping gradient inspired by succulents! Like tiny plants on a windowsill, this colourway reminds us of those everyday touches that turn a space into somewhere warm, cozy, and completely your own. This little bit of home-grown magic is coming to Yarndale! 🧶🌱

So here's the thing, it might be @yarndale in a couple of days or it might be the changes in the weather, but for some reason every year about this time I try and do some delusional knitting. This year's delusion centres around the gorgeous Stargazer Vest by Tania Barley😍, converted for machine

My Rage Against the Machine/Les Mis mashup is complete. This is my interpretation of the quilt guild’s summer challenge “quilt with your interpretation and/or feelings towards our current ‘democracy’” all hand stitched.

Quilt hanging on a card catalog. Neutral background with navy cursive appliqué “Do you hear thr people sing?” The background is embroidered in red starting light and getting bolder the lyrics to “killing in the name” the quilting effect is a focused sunburst from the center.

I got a bit carried away with the series, so I couldn't help myself but dye a "machineries of yarn."⚙️ The Machineries of Yarn will be at Yarndale, so come visit the stand L23-24 and talk to me about books! What kind of books would you want to see out the end of the year with?

Hand-dyed skeins of variegated yarn in greens, teals, purples and orange highlights twisted together on a dark wooden table, with a blurred stack of paperback books in the background.

Feeling the autumnal vibes and it's being reflected in my artwork and dyeing. 🍂 I've been making up mini sets for Yarndale and I couldn't resist dyeing up a new set... What do you make with minis?

Remember these? Working on these individual bags with @knitrundig was lovely! Getting to work with deadstock irish linen and cotton from the warehouse near my London studio was great too. I've only got a few left and they'll be coming with me to Yarndale! 💖

How do you plan your show attendance? Do you pick projects for yarn beforehand or pick yarn babies and discover patterns on the day?

Just over a week to go! The dyepots are still going, and packing is happening. You'll be able to find us at L23-24 near the entrance to The Lairage, the map is in the next image. Stay tuned for more of the tasty yarn we'll be bringing and we hope to see you there!

Totally fair, im generally more likely to do it with garments and yarn that is dyed in a way that is more likely to pool, as it helps distribute the colours more.

Lola | Third Vault & Johnson Ofair @thirdvaultyarns.com · 14/09/2026

Do you do this with your knitting, or do you cross your fingers and hope there's little variation? (In all fairness I likely could have gotten away with it, but I'm trying to be good...)

Lola | Third Vault & Johnson Ofair @thirdvaultyarns.com · 14/09/2026

I've been juggling yarn show prep with writing and house stuff, so it feels pretty nice to be taking some time to knit a little each evening again. Even if it technically is work knitting.... I'm even doing the thing you should do with hand dyed yarn and alternating ma balls!

A circular knitting project in progress: variegated autumn-toned yarn worked on circular needles, with a loose yarn tail trailing across a weathered wooden surface.

Who doesn't love a nice smooth i-cord edge? Small scarflettes are pretty popular for stash busting or playing around with colour, so I figured I'd have a go! I'm working on more patterns again, so with hope you'll get a few new ones before the end of the year. 💫 The minis will be at Yarndale!
