Socktails, Mocktails & Cocktails is a project I am thrilled to share with you and one that I had been thinking about for some time. After reaching out to my friend Inga at Fuzzy Peach Fibers about collaborating on this project, I was so excited when she agreed and we began working on it right away.

The project started with some inspiration photos Inga used to build the color palette. Once the yarn was dyed and shipped — well, you can imagine my exuberant delight as I tore into that box as soon as it arrived! I wasted no time getting started on designing and knitting the samples.

It was not long ago I tried my hand at knitting socks for the first time and discovered what many already knew. Hand-knit socks are satisfying to knit AND especially to wear. There is nothing like treating one of the hardest working parts of our bodies to a pair of hand knit socks.

Each design pairs up with its own mocktail and cocktail recipes. During a knit night, mix up a batch for you and your friends. Or concoct a simple syrup to gift along with its knitted namesake to a sock-worthy recipient. This summer the recipes were tested by some of my nearest and dearest friends – their feedback was so important to making these tasty for you.

The collection is available as an eBook but there is also an opportunity to preorder the book for your shelf or as a gift. The eBook and book include all patterns, recipes, tips and tricks, and more. With each book purchase, you will also receive an eBook available for immediate download. During the launch (November 2-5), as a fan of Indie Untangled, please use code: INDIESOCKTAILS for a special discount off the eBook or individual patterns both on my website and Ravelry.

This collections makes for a great gift for your friends or yourself.
Have fun with the sips as well as the patterns – these recipes are guidelines for you to find your perfect mix!

Colourwork makes for some of the most exciting knitting and crochet projects — even when it’s something as simple as stripes. But when you’re holding two yarns in the skein, it can be really hard to accurately picture how they’ll work together. Will the colours blend? Will they pop? Will they clash or will they compliment?

And it can be especially difficult to choose yarns for colourwork when one or more of the colourways are variegated!

Holding two skeins next to each other gives you a good idea of how the colours will play together in your project. But because they’re just sitting side by side, there’s a disconnect that can be deceptive. In essence, they are big blobs of homogeneous colour that are only interacting along the one edge where they meet, and, honestly, that isn’t a great representation of how colour behaves in a knitting or crochet project.

Doing stocktake the other week, we kept finding ourselves stopping to pair up yarns into colour combos, It made for a pretty slow stocktake(!) but I realised there is a technique that we were using over and over that’s a simple and easy way to see how two (or more) yarns will work together in a project. Even when you’re trying to pair variegated yarns!

And I suddenly thought maybe not everyone is using this handy trick… So I quickly grabbed my camera and snapped some pics that I’ve put in a handy guide. It will show you how to use this quick and easy technique the next time you’re trying to put together colour combos. And it’s completely free, so download it today and start combining your skeins with more confidence!

It’s time to unleash your knitting superpowers! I am absolutely giddy to announce that after over a year of hard work, my first knitting book (omg, I’m an author!) called Mosaic Knitting Workshop is available for purchase!

I’ve poured my heart and soul into Mosaic Knitting Workshop, and let me tell you, it’s packed with all the juicy secrets of mosaic knitting. Brace yourself for step-by-step instructions, mind-blowing visuals (my photographer blew it out of the water!) and the kind of tips that will make you go, “Whoa, I never knew I could do that!” I even help you learn to read charts and written instructions, pick out yarn, select colors, introduce my favorite cast on and bind offs, and I even teach you how to make your own motifs!

The book features 15 projects ranging from wraps, shawls, and cowls, to blankets, throws, and pillow covers. Each project has its own unique motif, and I even suggest different colorways to change the “mood” of your project!

You can find the book available on Book Depository, Barnes and Noble, Bookmarked Hub, Bookshop.org, IndiePubs, and Amazon OR if you’re intested in SIGNED AND PERSONALIZED copies of the book, you can find a limited number available on my website.

These signed copies come straight from yours truly, complete with a personal touch that’ll make your heart skip a beat. Can we say “collector’s item?”

Plus, you have the power to customize it with a handwritten message on the inside cover that’ll make this book uniquely yours or a heartfelt gift for someone special (just write in the notes upon check out what you want me to write!).

My new book “Mosaic Knitting Workshop” drops on June 6th and it’s available for preorder now!

We are hugely proud to have our yarn featured in Aimee Gille’s latest book, Neons and Neutrals. We have kits for the gorgeous pattern, Wervel, which features our yarn. We worked very closely with the designer, Maaike van Geijn to come up with a gorgeous palette for the kits. There are kits for the yoke only, allowing you to used stash yarn for the body as well as sweater kits, which include yarn for the body as well.

Preorders are currently open. We have 30 bases available, ranging from fingering to worsted.

We have had a full restock of Chiaogoo needles and have added shorties to our range, available as 9″ fixed needles and sets. They are great for sleeves, socks or any other small-circumference circular knitting.

We also had a full restock of Muud bags. The ever-popular Saturn XL is back along with others, and we’ve added a new style.

Making Memories, a gorgeous book of children’s knitting patterns is now available to preorder. Our yarn is featured on two patterns and we are happy to advise on yardage, should you wish to order yarn with it.

After over a year of hard work behind the scenes, my first-ever knitting book (OMG, I’m an author!) called Mosaic Knitting Workshop is finally available for pre-order!

This jaw-dropping book is a comprehensive guide to all things mosaic knitting, with everything you need to know to get started, and lots of fun advice to take your knitting to the next level.

Mosaic Knitting is a simple technique that creates beautiful colorwork using slipped stitches, and you only have to hold one color of yarn at a time!

It’s colorwork perfection!

With clear instructions and step-by-step photos, this book is perfect for beginners who are just diving into the world of colorwork knitting, as well as experienced knitters looking to try a new skill.

Not only will you learn to choose the right yarn and needles for your project, I’ll guide you through following charts and reading written instructions, and I’ll be your best friend along the way as you work through 15 projects ranging from wraps, shawls, and cowls, to blankets, throws, and pillow covers.

I even provide alternative colorway swatches for each project so you can see how the beautiful motifs change when you change the color scheme, and I help you create your own mosaic motifs!

The book will ship on June 6th, but you can preorder your copy today! I promise I’ll give you sneak peaks inside the book as the day approaches. 🙂

Hello everyone!

Cashmere & Coconuts is thrilled to announce we have just released several new and exciting products!

After the incredible success of our Holiday Advent Set, based on the Great British Baking Show, we have put together our very first Summer Knitting Box! Just like our Advent set, our Summer Box comes with 24 20g mini skeins, one full size 100g skein, each based on our summer theme of geodes, crystals and agates, as well as 1-2 small themed gifts. Each skein is on our 75/25 Sock base, which is an incredibly soft and yet durable Merino/nylon base. You also have the option to upgrade your box to either our MCN Sock base, or if you really want to capture that sparkle found in so many geodes and crystals, our Sparkle Sock base! No matter which base you choose, we promise you won’t be disappointed!

We also have launched our brand new Monthly Fiber Box, which will be based on a different theme each month. Orders are accepted until the 10th of each month, or until all spots are filled. Space is very limited, so make sure to grab your Fiber Box while you can!

We are pleased to announce that we have launched two new shawl kits, with patterns by the incredibly talented Ambah O’Brian! Her Lilli Pilli shawl is a particular favorite of ours, and you can choose between a variety of color ways to customize your perfect shawl!

Last, but certainly not least, our widely popular Outlander Sock Box is restarting again! For those who love the beauty of Scotland, Jamie Fraser’s accent (and kilt! Ahem!) and love to watch as Claire gets herself into one scrap after another, this box is for you! Each month you’ll receive one full size 100g skein, two coordinating mini skeins, and several small goodies that any Outlander fan would love to have! (Skeins shown in photo are examples of previous Outlander boxes, however this is a Mystery Box). All Outlander skeins stay exclusive to our Outlander Sock Box for a minimum of six months and will not be released before then.

One more nugget of awesomeness for you all! Cashmere & Coconuts is offering an exclusive discount only for Indie Untanged members! Use discount code INDIEUNTANGLED14 to save 14% off your orders from now until Valentines Day!

More to come next week!

Hello all! We have been a bit quiet over here in ECY Shedquarters as I have been off for surgery (I’m still recovering but a bit more mobile for work — I’ve got a long way to go yet). It definitely feels as though summer is over, it is getting a lot cooler and I am needing to wear more of my woollens now. I feel the cold really badly as well, so by the time it’s properly cold I’ll be completely bundled up. 😆

I have two updates to tell you about. Both have already happened but were quite large updates so there is plenty still to choose from. The first update was Bowland 4ply (100% Superwash British Bluefaced Leicester). I was looking back through past updates and was really shocked to see that the last big update of this yarn was 18 months ago!! Considering this is a classic ECY base it really is quite a big deal, but supply was really limited for quite a while and we got distracted with other things (as you do!).

This update is all semisolids which are perfect for garments, stripes or colourwork. You can browse the colourways in this update in the flickr album and we have also included some combination suggestions. There are also a few yarn packs of multiple colour combinations in the Bowland 4ply collection on our website. Image shows Bowland 4ply in colourways Linen, Apricot Tulip, Cloudberry, Azalea and Dianthus.

The second update is Bowland DK. Another long-term favourite, Bowland DK is also 100% Superwash British Bluefaced Leicester. This update is also all semi-solids as I really do see them as the core of my business. You can browse the colourways and colour combination suggestions in the update flickr album and find all available Bowland DK on our website. The image shows Bowland DK in Cottage Original 2409211415, Thunder, Tarn and Larkspur.

I have recently seen a lot of pattern inspiration focused around stripes; Veera Valimaki’s recent book and the Douglas Cardi by Andrea Mowry in particular. The cardi really inspired me and so I went up to the garage (aka stock room) and pulled together some new five colour DK yarn packs but using two x 100g skeins of each colour rather than one.

There is a new menu category for “5 colour DK packs 1kg”. We have also converted these into yarn packs specifically for the Douglas Cardi with different size options based on the yarn requirements. Most sizes use two skeins of each colour but if you are at either end of the range the quantities of yarn have been adjusted for you. The sizing from the pattern is shown in the listings to help you out.

There are also a number of Milburn DK packs; these have more size options so please do check carefully to make sure you get the right one for you. Design specific yarn packs have their own category in the Yarn menu to make it even easier to find them. One of these selections is shown in the images.

Moorit has launched!
We are so excited about Moorit, a new crochet magazine. We have copies of the magazine and yarn packs for the cover design which is a wonderfully cosy sweater in Whitfell Chunky. We also have a preorder running for Pendle Chunky in a selection of colours all shown in the image. The preorder will close on 15th October so make sure you get orders in before then. Yarn packs for the Cumulo sweater are listed by size with the sizing from the pattern detailed on the product page. All yarn packs come with a discount to the price of the yarn sold separately.

Inspiration
Also on the website we have yarn packs for the Shikhar wrap by Jaya of Apoorva Designs, which was released in August (I didn’t quite get the yarn done before my surgery so it’s had to wait). You can find more information about this wrap on the pattern page on Payhip. The Shikhar Wrap is made up of sections of different stitches and patterns inspired by architectural elements of the Taj Mahal, including striped chevrons, honeycomb lace, an intarsia floral design and an arched section. The wrap uses sparkly Rosedale 4ply in Natural, Red Kite, Larch and Charcoal and these yarns can be bought together as a yarn pack at a discount compared to buying the yarns individually. This can be found in the Design specific yarn pack collection. Also, for a limited time Jaya is offering a free copy of the pattern to the first five folks who buy the yarn! In with your order you will receive a discount code to be used to get the free pattern from Payhip.

We still have plenty of five colour hand dyed yarn packs that could be used the the Stephen West Shawlography MKAL or Starting Point/Fading Point if you are taking part in Joji’s Fall KAL. These packs could also be used for any other five colour (500g) 4ply/fingering weight pattern. Check out the available selection in the “Five colour 4ply pack – 500g” collection.

I finally have some good news about our Milburn DK production. We have received new batches of Althaea, Night Sky and Natural which is a massive relief. Natural has been out of stock for a REALLY long time! This also means more DK yarn packs have been added to the website as quite a lot of our combinations use it. There are more colours in the queue to be restocked and we expect those to start arriving in the next few weeks!

Oops, I seem to have rambled on again! I will try not to leave it so long again next time,
Happy Crafting!! x
