Designer: Gina Rockenwagner

October 14, 2014 Abby Goodman

Top / Middle / Bottom

Just kind of like how I go through seasons of style, I definitely go through seasons of designer crushes in knitwear. My current designer crush is Gina Rockenwagner, fiber artist extraordinaire and the newest Purl Bee designer. Not only are her knitting patterns unique, dramatic, and yet somehow classic, her modern and colorful take on quilting makes me itch to take more lessons on my sewing machine. 

You can find her on The Purl Bee or on Instagram, which I stalk on the daily. There is a really good chance I will be casting on for the City Cape before this year is through! 

Tonight, I'm working on my "to knit" list for the holidays and even two months away, it is starting to dawn on me how much knitting I have to do! I am SO excited about visiting Virginia and Rhinebeck this weekend to pick out yarns for all of these projects and cast on. Life is about to be so good.

A messy July desk (and a perpetually messy mending pile behind it) ☀️ I have a few secret projects in the works right now but I’m pretty much always knitting a pair of socks, especially during the summertime!

thanks so much to everyone who has
✨Sunday Morning Shawl ✨now live on my website and Ravelry! (Link in profile) This shawl is generously sized, squishy, soft, and simple: just what I wanted in a season of life where I needed lots of garter stitch. The alternating colors and stripes me
Tomorrow! ✨☕️☀️#sundaymorningshawl
Last week, the @brooklynbotanic, another #bhlshirreddress ✨🌼 (this pattern is basically secret pajamas, so do yourself a favor and go make one immediately)
Coffee shop knitting and lunch among the rooftop flowers. Having the best, sweatiest day in NY 🥰✨🌼
I wrote a blog post last week that was basically along the lines of, “What is it like to live your life without the influence of the internet?” I don’t think it’s a coincidence that soon after I did I picked up these beauties
A full week behind, a full week ahead. But for now: swatches. New ideas coming to life ✨
I feel as though if you were to scroll back several years my main postings on IG were photos of yarn with my breakfast so maybe it’s time to bring that back ✨ loving this simply beautiful combo of #edmundsocks with @sweetsparrowknits yarn. Cher
