Technical talk: at the given gauge (5sts/in), Genevieve’s size (27” chest) is - in my opinion- the smallest it can be done while still keeping some of the MC between the rainbow. 🌈 I love that this sweater is *almost* as extra as Genevieve is; this beauty is going to be on display in @FrostYarn’s booth at @StitchesEvents 🌈 [Pattern: Reignbeaux by @YelleyKnits, Yarn: @FrostYarn] 🌈 #BIPOCKnitters #knitting #KidsKnits #KnittersofInstagram #HandDyedYarn #KnitmoregirlsPodcast #BIPOCDesigners #ProjectSweaterChest #ReignBeauxSweater #IndieDyers #IndieDyersofInstagram #Bespoke #knit #FrostYarns 🌈 [Image Description: a child-sized, nearly finished pullover featuring a day-glo rainbow, knit in a semicircle on a white background with ALL THE NEON SPECKLES.]

#FiberuaryChallenge: Day 2: looking forward

via Instagram #FiberuaryChallenge: Day 2: looking forward 🎭 One of the things I’ve missed most during the pandemic is live performances. 🎭 I’m positively delighted by the safety measures being taken so that I can let all that sweet, sweet dopamine flood my brain. 🎭 Oh yeah, and after lots of waiting and hunting around for the right artist- I’m FINALLY getting my knitting tattoo! 🎭 [Image Description: a 4-square collage with pictures of Tig Notaro, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, Diving Swallow Tattoo, and Hannah Gadsby.] https://instagr.am/p/CZkW1pqPVaG/

#FiberuaryChallenge: Day 1: hi, it’s me.

via Instagram #FiberuaryChallenge: Day 1: hi, it’s me. ✨ Hi, I’m Jasmin. I co-host and produce the Knitmore Girls podcast, which has been running since 2008. ✨ I believe in kindness as well as the paradox of tolerance. I love with my whole being, top shelf spirits, and browned butter. ✨ I am completely, a million billion percent Too Much, and I’m at my best when I’m fully caffeinated. ✨ I’m vocal about my values because I’m proud of who I am. It’s taken me 39 years to become this person! ✨ My kids are the best, and my dogs are the cutest; these are the facts. ✨ Acts of service is my primary love language, and I enjoy creativity of every kind, but especially a particularly clever portmanteau. ✨ [Pattern: Reignbeaux by @YelleyKnits, Yarn: @SeaChangeFibers DK “French Dispatch” minis and “Hazy Sky”] ✨ #BIPOCKnitters #knitting #KnittersofInstagram #HandDyedYarn #KnitmoregirlsPodcast #TestKnit #ProjectSweaterChest #ReignBeauxSweater #IndieDyers #IndieDyersofInstagram #Bespoke #knit #SeaChangeFibers ✨ [Image Description: a striking, freckled and fair-skinned Persian American woman with a sharp, short, bright turquoise haircut poses in a pullover with an ingenious construction: a semicircular rainbow on the right side, with the sweater built around it, and a matching rainbow on the opposite sleeve. She has the barest hint of a smile, has her left hand behind her head, and has rainbows and clouds in her makeup and fiber fill “clouds” in her hair. There is mischief in her eyes.] https://instagr.am/p/CZjWK3krO5f/
