    Color knitting and I seem to be sooo incompatible; I’ve been wondering if this book would help solve that problem!

    I love this book, having borrowed it from the library… Right now, I’m putting a hold on new books, etc. because of back-to-school expenses.
    Oh, you want to know about my color knitting? It’s a great stashbuster and looks great too!

    Interweave has such good books. I’m a beginner, so I haven’t experimented much – but I love to try colors that are different from what’s called for in the pattern.

    This book looks amazing. I jumped right in to intarsia for my first scarf (a black on gray skull for my rocker boyfriend) and my first hat (a 70s inspired mushroom theme for my brother). I love color work and really want to improve my skills.

    I love using bright colours in my knitting. It brightens up the gloomy west coast winter days.

    I tend to be somewhat timid with using multiple colors. I have done some basic striping and beginner strand work. I would like to learn intarsia

    I think fair isle can be the ultimate stash buster…wish I was better at it…wish I had a good book to refer to…I was really sorry when Sally Melville’s book didn’t reference it seriously…

    I love Fair Isle knitting – but am usually too scared to change the given colours in the pattern. Perhaps the book will make me braver!

    I am just trying to learn to knit so I don’t really have any experiences to share but I wouldn’t mind winning to book to have for the future

    My favorite pair of two color, stranded scandinavian snow flake pattern mittens was my first project ever when I was 11; 40 years ago!!! I have been wielding the needles ever since but never ventured to Fair Isle.. Maybe the time has come, I feel like I’ve knit everything else! sz
    Ps.. I love your blog!

    This would be a wonder book for me as I branch out into more dyeing. I’ve enjoyed creating the colors and combinations, the but still haven’t done much knitting with them.

  16. Maureen says

    This would be a fantastic help for me. It is a bit hard for me to see what colors go with others and the patterns that might make the colors come alive.

    Colorwork in my knitting has mostly been achieve by buying self-striping yarn!!! I would love to learn though 🙂 c’mon puppy paw!

    I love color work, it brightens up everything. It has been awhile since I’ve done much of it. This book may jump start me back into it. Thank you and good luck everyone.

Knits to Make for Your Labubu

Maybe it’s not your Labubu, but if you’ve ever looked at one of those creepy cute dolls and thought “what that thing needs is a sweater,” you’ve come to the right place. These Labubu knitting patterns are super cute and easy to make whatever your skill level. 

If you want to keep it super basic, there’s this Labubu sweater from flourish AND fiber. It uses sock yarn and is worked from the top down in the round with a bit of ribbing on the edges but otherwise in stockinette stitch. It says it’s meant to fit all current regular Labubu plush pendants. 

Another cute pendant project is the Bubu Cardi by Ginko B. This free Ravelry download uses fingering weight yarn and only uses about 35 yards of yarn, so it’s a perfect scrap knitting project. 

Give your Labubu some springtime flair with this sweet little dress pattern by About Yarn. It’s for a 6.5 inch/17 cm doll and is worked in the round using DK weight yarn. 

Or get them ready for cooler weather with this cute beanie from Stephanie Connolly. Available as a free Ravelry download, this pattern uses DK weight yarn and has a hole in the top for Labubu’s ears and pendant to pull through. 

If you want a more whimsical look, try the Labubu headdress by Shino Craft. This one uses sport weight yarn and makes your critter look like a flower. You can buy it on Ravelry.

Add a touch of colorwork with this adorable heart sweat for a Labubu. This pattern is from kelmadeSG and uses fingering or DK weight yarn (maybe depending on what size doll you have?) and is worked flat in pieces. 

Shirley Durmaz made this cute hoodie for a Labubu with two strands of fingering weight yarn (or you could use a DK weight). It’s available on Ravelry.

If your Labubu fan is also a Taylor Swift fan, you’ll want to knit the free Labubu V Neck Cardigan, inspired by Taylor’s Folklore sweater. It uses fingering weight yarn and you can find it on Ravelry.
