Day 1 ✨ Brand Introduction ✨: Somehow even after introducing myself so often, introducing myself is so hard. It feels like Im constantly saying the same thing, I'm a Computer Science major dabbling in knitwear design. I just graduated with my Masters in January 🎓 This picture is actually from when I graduated undergrad 2 years before that, unfortunately due to /these unprecidented times/ I didnt get to celebrate my Masters. Hopefully I get into my PhD program of choice and in 4-6 years we can all be celebrating me attaining my doctorates 🤞 I knit and I sew, one day I hope to be desigining sewn garments as well as knit -- though I dont think I want to draft patterns for sewing 😬 Im actually trying to get into leatherworking (mainly making plague doctor masks) I also (obviously) program so if anyone needs a python or C++ programmer 💻, I'm your gal 👩‍💻👈 No seriously, though this post is more about my knitting and sewing, I would really like a programming job. Pls. Im trying to break into the industry. I can also work Arduinos and RaspberryPis. I technically do have a logo, but its just a silly red semicolon in a black background. I was thinking of designing something more apt for my brand. The semi in my name derives from my internet handle @semicolonexpected which is a reference to a common programming error. I think what makes my brand me is that my designs usually have an element that seems drawn from the fantastic. Dragons 🐲, tentacles 🐙, magic, and sometimes the creepy crawly. I try to stay down to earth but just floating a little. On the @joannehawker's #MarchMeetTheMaker help and suggestions page it says "now is the time to polish up that speech [the introduction] so you can be prepared for next time" but I somehow bomb the speech awkwardly every time. Btw did you know theres an ig character limit? . . . . . #meetthemaker #marchmeetthemaker2021 #meettheartist #plagueknitting #diverseknitters #knittersofinstagram #knittersofnewyork #stayhomeandknit #diversityincraft #diversknitty #knitweardesigner #knitdesign #designersofinstagram #makersofinstagram #womeninstem #womeninbusiness #teamfiberfawns #craftersofinstagram #bipocinfiber #bipocknitters (at The River Café) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL49d7QJ2J9/?igshid=525d4sfyiubc

Thank you so much for your lovely comments on Aitana Top. Here is Amelia Scarf, another design for Amano Yarns summer collection. Working with fingering weight yarn is quite unusual for me, but I like the result. What do you think? #natalya1905 #knitlove #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #stayhomeandknit https://www.instagram.com/p/CAGL_RIgDxw/?igshid=8jb33ph1pbu6

Another new listing 😀 (and in Irish yarn again!) I used my own #moherbeanie pattern to knit these hat/cowl sets from Alpaca Tweed by @studiodonegal . A good chance to see the size difference between the 2 sizes given in the pattern. #aranaccessories #aranknitting #knithatpattern #knittinghat #knitcowl #knitstagram #knitspiration #etsyseller #etsyireland #etsygifts #etsyknits #instaknitting #instaknit #tricoter #sticka #strikking #stayhomeandknit #strikk #cableknitpattern #cableknit #cableknithat #nevernotknitting #knitallthethings #knitaccessories #aranhatpattern #knitspo #knitting_inspiration #knitted https://www.instagram.com/p/CJeJoGYp2fB/?igshid=uq7jhkauvhkg

Earlier today I benefitted from a generous seller sharing her contact list. I wondered what I could do to pay this forward help another small business. So here goes......Many if us are finding pleasure in crafting during lockdown. This is my version of @speak_in_stitches sideways knitted raglan sweater. You can buy the pattern online at Ravelry. It’s called #onehourraglan One Hour Raglan by Caroline O Toole and I highly recommend it if you are looking for a simple sideways machine knit project that you can customise yourself. There is even a series of videos showing how to knit it. You are looking at my version, knitted on my Brother 950i knitting machine and styled as a 1950s bracelet length sleeve sweater with funnel neck. #machineknitting #simplesweaterproject #supportsmallbusiness and buy this pattern #stayhomeandknit #machineknitsweater #sidewaysknit #raglanmachineknitpattern #onehourraglan #lockdownknitting #frenchmodevintique Thanks very much to Caroline O Toole for publishing the pattern and sharing her knitting skills on video via YouTube https://www.instagram.com/p/B-msd4ughk_/?igshid=1hl1is9ylhwpa

Мій острів спокою і врівноваженості) Цього разу хай все буде правильно: покажу роботу на етапі початку, середини і фінішу. Принаймні, сподіваюсь, хе-хе;) А ще я дістала свою сукню з квітковим принтом.

This is something different from the kind of pictures I normally take -- mainly because I don't know how to take a picture of a whole scarf. Tips and constructive criticism appreciated. This also happens to be my Day 19: Inside My Project Bag (or was) for #fiberuary! I actually just finished my @nancymarchantbrioche Champagne Bubbles scarf in 🧶@PatonsYarn Lace in Bonfire 🔥and #Filati Mohair Lace II in Burgundy. This had actually been in my project bag for over a year! I had originally started this for @fruityknitting's #FruityBriocheKAL but never finished---until now! This I think technically also qualifies for Day 18: Yarn 🧶 too I think. Though I dont normally use acrylic anymore, I do really love both these wool/mohair/acrylic/nylon blends and the effect of combining the thin cobweb Filati with the more traditionally laceweight Patons. I really like the color transition in the Patons I also like how the halo of red and black nylon core plays with the fire tones. It reminds me of the instagram script font with the highlight. I feel like alone both of these yarns would be a bit flat and generic, but paired with each other it just looks like *chef's kiss* This yarn really got me into liking mohair esp for combining with other bases. . . . . . . . #fiberuarychallenge2021 #fiberuarychallenge #fruityknitting #filatiitaliani #mohairlace #mohairknit #laceknitting #lacescarf #laceshawl #diverseknitters #knittersofinstagram #knittersofnewyork #knittingaddict #diversityincraft #diversknitty #briocheknitting #briochelace #lacebriocheknitting #lacebrioche #champagnebubbles #ravelry #knittersoftheworld #knittersgonnaknit #stayhomeandknit https://www.instagram.com/p/CLfEmmipT-j/?igshid=1f6vzl7n57ckc

Here is my most comforting work in progress, the Gradient Band Cowl by @jojilocat 🖤 It is miles of garter stitch with little pops of lacey ridges, and then completed with a band of gradient in feather and fan. It’s easing my anxiety and the colors are calming, just like the forest 🌲🏔 What are you working on that’s bringing you comfort? . . . #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #jojilocatelli #gradientbandcowl #yarnlove #comfortingknits #stayhomeandknit #takeyourknittingoutside (at Banner Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-gEuNIJQe8/?igshid=47z1pcj4h0ug
