Patternist

Patternist is a service to connect designers and yarn dyers/yarn shops for upcoming pattern launches.

Patternist collects pattern previews from designers about upcoming pattern launches and collate to a newsletter to yarn dyers and yarn shops to give them a heads up if they are interested in curating yarn sets or similar. A kind of Reuters or TT of pattern news.Designers can send pattern previews to Patternist and they are then added to a fortnightly newsletter sent to yarn dyers and yarn shops. No promise of promotion is given to either designers or newsletter recipients, only the preview information so designers and dyers/shops can contact each other to work out collaborations.

This is a brand new project and therefore all feedback is hugely helpful. If you have any questions or feedback, please email to patternpreview@gmail.com

Me Made May and my inner peer pressure

Dear self It's ok not to have made your wardrobe yourself. It's ok to buy clothes in shops. Sure, you've knitted a lot of sweaters, shawls, hats, etc. but you don't have to weave your own fabrics and sew your own clothes - you make a lot of other things! What about the print on the wall you made? Or the necklace? You made those! Be proud of things you've made or accomplished, even though it may not be your whole outfit.  May is a fantastic month and on social media a lot of the peope I follow celebrate Me Made May, a celebration of a home made wardrobe. I can sometimes feel the pressure to join in the choir, but the truth is that I've made the decision not to make my own clothes. I want to spend my time on other things and I'm happy to go shopping for my clothes. During MeMadeMay I sometimes have to remind myself that it is OK to wear store bought clothes. For some people it's not a choice, they may not know how to sew, in my case it's more of a ch...

3 trendsetters for 2018

Winter has arrived to UK, and we've even seen a little bit of snow in the capital; something we haven't had much of the last couple of years. For us knitters it's a perfect excuse to wear more knitwear! So what are we wearing this year? Looking at social media among knitters it's quite clear that knitted sweaters, especially with a little bit of pattern on the yoke,  are a strong trend at the moment; and for a good reason! Imagine an Icelandic or Bohus style round yoke with colour pattern, and then you update it with a little bit of graphic patterns, and also delicate botanical inspiration. Update the colours to the latest trends and the yarn choices are plenty to suit any taste and wallet. There are 3 names topping the trends, Jennifer Steingass, Caitlin Hunter and the ever so talented Isabelle Kreamer. These designers are definitely topping the design game! Check out my Pinterest board for the winter 2018 trends  here . Jennifer Steingass has so far released 12 p...

Indie versus commercial

I'm going to stick my neck and say something that shouldn't be controversial; it's ok to buy commercial yarn from big brands. Don't get me wrong, I use a lot of yarn from indie dyers and small mills and absolutely love it, but I don't have to choose one or the other. They serve different purposes. I work for a yarn company/retailer, we're somewhere north of 100 employees and we sell commercial yarn. Buying yarn from a larger company supports all the employees and the suppliers as well. It takes a larger customer group to make enough sales to pay the costs, but there are a lot of people making a living. One of the arguments used to encourage buying from indie sellers is that you support local, you support the people working there. I want to make the same claim for buying from bigger companies. There are a lot of people involved making a living, and the area they live in might not be your local, but it still benefit from all these people in work. Without my sal...
