Repost from @sopranoknits • The F L O R E A mittens are now available as an individual pattern on Ravelry! 🌱 I love this pattern and am so thrilled that I can celebrate it at long last. I haven't shared this pattern since before they were published in issue 9 of Laine, for as I discussed in detail two posts back, they haven't earned promotion in this space. The individual pattern is in a different form as as that published in the magazine - it includes two sizes as well as full charts for each hand (and full written instructions). It's the pattern I originally designed but that was cut at the last minute due to space limitations, so in so glad to share a more inclusive version now. I'd like to give back with this pattern, and have decided to donate 25% of proceeds from this pattern to @promised.fibers - a badass project that's raising funds to create more access within our community. Meesha is currently raising funds and working with the organizers of knitting events to create a grant specifically for BIPOC to attend fiber events either as vendors or attendees - which seemed relevant as hell to both what was happening when this pattern was originally announced and it's individual release now. As an extra boost, I want to donate 50% of the proceeds until tomorrow at noon CET. Even if you can't support the pattern at this time, I hope you'll go follow @promised.fibers and consider donating to support their projects. If you want to grab a copy of the pattern, I've linked it in my bio for now. Thanks for all of your support and love for my work, as always. ✨🖤✨ . . . #sopranoknitsdesigns #floreamittens #newknittingpattern #knitweardesign #knitweardesigner #tukuwool #tukuwoolsock #knitmittens #handknitmittens #handmadelife #promisedfibers #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofinstagram #supportbipocknitters #warmwoolenmittens #knitter #knittersofinstagram #knitlove - # #promisetogiveback #promisedfibers #fiberartistsofinstagram {Image Description: Two hand knit mittens lay flat on a stone surface}

And one more post today for good measure! The February 2020 Fiber Artist mini-grant application is up on the website now! (Small business mini-grants will be back soon!) #promisetogiveback #promisedfibers #fiberartistsofinstagram [Image ID: Multiple red hearts are in the corners.

Repost from @fiber.for.a.cause • Special Cause: Promised Fibers is committed to financial accessibility and inclusion in the fiber arts. @promised.fibers aims to make fiber arts financially accessible to all through generosity, collaboration, and a commitment to equity. What could be provided, listed in the “Our Goals” page, is based on donations. Please consider donating to this cause. You can donate through ko-fi or PayPal, links available on the website. If you are a business, consider sponsoring a grant to make it possible to provide these resources. It is important that fiber arts can be created by any and all. #fiberforacause . .

An announcement: When mini-grant applications open for February, only the fiber artist one will be available. Donations have slowed and realistically, that is all we are able to offer at this time to ensure sustainability. We know that donations will ebb and flow, especially since Promised Fibers is still in its first year. Please consider donating through our Ko-Fi or PayPal, links in bio/on our website. You or your business can also choose to sponsor a mini-grant (info on the website). Thanks for your continued support! #fiberartistsofinstagram #promisetogiveback [Image ID: Blue text on a white background reads Announcement. In the bottom right corner is the Promised Fibers logo.]
