It's me again! I probably need some more headshots It's me again! I probably need some more headshots so I don't use the same one all the time... Today is the first day of #MarchMeetTheMaker and it's Brand Introductions today! This is me, and I'm the designer behind Liz Corke Knits. ⁠ ⁠ I design and write knitting patterns for accessories that are modern and stylish to wear, fun and simple to knit and clear and easy to read.⁠ ⁠ I'm mostly a one woman operation, although when I'm modelling pieces I do rope my husband in to take photos for me and my lovely tech editor Jo makes sure my patterns are accurate and error free.⁠ ⁠ Living in Scotland, nature is never very far away and many of my designs are inspired by the plants and landscapes surrounding us. Others are inspired by stories or legends from Scotland and around the world.⁠ ⁠ [Image Description: A white woman with brown hair smiling at the camera]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #KnittersOfInstagram #Knit #Knitting #OffRav #InclusiveYarnCommunity #ScottishKnitters #I_LoveKnitting #KnittingAddict #InstaKnit #Knitstagram #IGKnitters #InstaKnitters #HandKnit #KnittingLove #KnitDesign #KnitDesigner #OffRav #OffRavDesigners #LizCorkeKnits #ImARealKnitter #KnitsNotBots #UKKnitters #CreativesOfInstagram #KnittersOfRavelry
The first row of leaves is finished! Today I'm wor The first row of leaves is finished! Today I'm working on a name for this cowl - I usually have something picked by the time I write the pattern but this time I'm completely stumped!⁠ ⁠ [Image Description: A knitted ring of lace knitting forming leaf shapes in green yarn]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #KnittersOfInstagram #Knit #Knitting #ScottishKnitters #I_LoveKnitting #KnittingAddict #InstaKnit #Knitstagram #IGKnitters #InstaKnitters #HandKnit #KnittingLove #KnitDesign #KnitDesigner #OffRavDesigner #LizCorkeKnits #ImARealKnitter #KnitsNotBots #UKKnitters #CreativesOfInstagram #OffRav #InclusiveYarnCommunity #OffRavDesigners #FruitfulFusionYarn ⁠
Today in the #FiberuaryChallenge is A Gift You Rec Today in the #FiberuaryChallenge is A Gift You Received. My mum's taken up knitting again over the winter while she can't get out in her garden. She's been sending little packages to my kids to keep them entertained - blankets for toys, little dogs with leads and collars and she's currently making a rabbit and a bear for them! The last package included this little red panda for me! Now he lives on top of my monitor.⁠ ⁠ [Image Description: A knitted red panda sitting on top of a computer monitor]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #KnittersOfInstagram #Knit #Knitting #ScottishKnitters #I_LoveKnitting #KnittingAddict #InstaKnit #Knitstagram #IGKnitters #InstaKnitters #HandKnit #KnittingLove #KnitDesign #KnitDesigner #LizCorkeKnits #ImARealKnitter #KnitsNotBots #UKKnitters #CreativesOfInstagram #KnittersOfRavelry #IndieDesigner #IndieDesign #OffRav #OffRavDesigner
Here comes the lace! I didn't want a hard edge bet Here comes the lace! I didn't want a hard edge between the garter stitch border and the lace body so I've blended the two together. Can you see the start of the first little leaves?⁠ ⁠ [Image Description: A close up on a piece of knitting in green yarn. The majority is knit in garter stitch, but the start of a leaf with yarn overs and stockinette is visible in the centre of the photo.]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #KnittersOfInstagram #Knit #Knitting #ScottishKnitters #I_LoveKnitting #KnittingAddict #InstaKnit #Knitstagram #IGKnitters #InstaKnitters #HandKnit #KnittingLove #KnitDesign #KnitDesigner #OffRavDesigner #LizCorkeKnits #ImARealKnitter #KnitsNotBots #UKKnitters #CreativesOfInstagram #OffRav #InclusiveYarnCommunity #OffRavDesigners #FruitfulFusionYarn ⁠
I'm so far behind with the #FiberuaryChallenge thi I'm so far behind with the #FiberuaryChallenge this week that I don't think there's any catching up so I'm skipping to today and #ThrowbackThursday! This is Goldmead which I released in February 2018! It's one of my favourite fingerless mitts patterns with a travelling cable and a separate little pinky finger!⁠ ⁠ [Image Description: Twisted rib fingerless mitts with a narrow cable crossing the back of the hand from the inside of the wrist to the little finger.

I do love a garter stitch border. It sits flat, it I do love a garter stitch border. It sits flat, it's got a bit of stretch and I just generally love garter stitch! ⁠ ⁠ The test for this cowl has just gone up. If you'd like to help me with it the link is in my bio. It currently has no name (which makes talking about it slightly awkward!), uses under 436 yards of 4ply yarn, has been tech edited and is both written and charted! The deadline is the 16th March and the test is on @Yarnpond!⁠ ⁠ [Image Description: A small piece of garter stitch in green yarn]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #KnittersOfInstagram #Knit #Knitting #ScottishKnitters #I_LoveKnitting #KnittingAddict #InstaKnit #Knitstagram #IGKnitters #InstaKnitters #HandKnit #KnittingLove #KnitDesign #KnitDesigner #OffRavDesigner #LizCorkeKnits #ImARealKnitter #KnitsNotBots #UKKnitters #CreativesOfInstagram #OffRav #InclusiveYarnCommunity #OffRavDesigners #FruitfulFusionYarn ⁠ #TestKnitting #TestKnitter #TestKnit #TestKnitters
