what are you knitting now? 〜HALIBUT knitted by DE RERUM NATURA GILLIATT〜
December 04, 2021
Today, I would like to introduce you to the Halibut sweater, also known as the “halibut sweater,” knitted by our staff, Aiko. Designed by Caitlin Hunter.
Do you know halibut? It is a kind of flatfish and resembles a flounder in shape, but it is very large and exceeds 1m in size.
In the town of Homer in Alaska, where Caitlin lives, you can catch a lot, and it is said that it has been deeply connected to people's culture and life since long ago. In Japan, it is rarely caught in Hokkaido.
A bold design that hangs such a huge fish halibut on the yoke!
Aiko, who has a penchant for animal motifs, was eagerly waiting for the release of the pattern when she saw Caitlin posting a photo of her work in progress on Instagram. Anyway, it had a big impact, it matched the hair color and it was cute, and it was a big hit at the office.
Green for MC is Gilliatt from De rerum natura, and CC is hand spun by Aiko himself.
By the way, Caitlin is famous for being very lax, but that doesn't seem to be the case these days. It seems that Aiko was looser this time.
Halibut also slides behind.
It's cute for women to wear, and it's also recommended for men who like fishing and the sea.
The designated thread Kelbourne Woolens Scout is in stock at the online shop! Also, the trousers in the photo were sewn using the hakama pattern from Itetsuhaku Yohinten.I'm happy to be able to coordinate my whole body with just the clothes I made.
Detailed thread: MC = De Rerum Natura Gilliatt (Color is Printemps)
CC: = hand-spun wool purchased at Undercover Otter Needle: US5 (Because the hand-spun yarn was thick, the needles on the main body were lowered by one size, and the whole was knitted with US5, the same as the rib part.)
Size: XS

[Sock Club 2022 design recruitment! ]
November 30, 2021
"I only knit socks, not sweaters or shawls!" The number of socknitters has increased considerably, and now knitting socks is very popular. It's light and easy to carry, and although it's small, it's full of various techniques, and everyone seems to be addicted to it.
Amirisu started the Sock Club from this year with the desire for Socknitters to enjoy every month. The original kits were released one by one every month, and were sold for a limited period of one month, and were very well received.
2022 will also be held in response to voices saying that it will definitely be held next year! Then, it was decided to open the design to the public. Please come up with an outstanding design that is cute, practical, and worth knitting. The details are as follows.
(1) Basically, please use amirisu Trek for the thread. If you need to use another thread, we will consult with you.
(2) Patterns will be sold in English and Japanese.
(3) It doesn't matter if there is size expansion or not. If it is an adult women's size, one size is fine.
(4) Amirisu will specify the color of the sample later and send the thread. The shipping fee for the finished sample will be paid by the designer.
(5) Technical editing, chart creation, layout and translation are all done by amirisu .
(6) Please attach a simple design proposal (overall sketch, pattern swatch, simple design description) and send it to contribute@amirisu.com . Please also let us know your Instagram and Ravelry accounts. The deadline is December 29 , 2021 .
(7) Please let us know the delivery date that can be submitted. Once we have all the designers, we will decide the delivery date for each item. The final delivery date is November 2022 .
If you have any questions, please email us at contribute@amirisu.com . We look forward to your application!
what are you knitting now? ~ HUG HUG KISS KISS shawl knitted by YOWZA and LARK ~
November 27, 2021
It's getting colder and colder, and it's the best season for knitting!
Today, I would like to introduce the Hug Hug Kiss Kiss shawl knitted by Nakanaga, a staff member.
The designated yarn is mYak Baby Yak Medium , but I knit Yowza from Miss Babs for MC and Lark from Quince & Co. for CC.
Actually, this shawl was knitted last year. Because the thread was thick, it went smoothly and finished knitting in a blink of an eye.
It's finally getting cold, so I was able to block safely the other day. Will I be able to use it properly this winter?
The name of the pattern, Hug Hug Kiss Kiss, which raises the tension, comes from the pattern of rows of crosses like an X and bobbles like a ○. When designer Andrea saw this pattern, he thought of xoxo (= hugs & kisses), which is used in English emails.
The parts without patterns are garter-knitted, so it's easy. According to Nakanaga, "There are few bobbles for Andrea's pattern, so it's easy!" It is a knitting method that starts from the base of the triangle and gradually increases the number of stitches.
Yowza, which is soft and slightly thin, and Lark, which is firm and thick, are combined, so the Lark part of the finished shawl has a dense and sturdy feel. If you are worried about the finish, I think it would be a good idea to match threads with similar thickness and texture.
And this is the same shawl knitted by another staff member with the designated mYak yarn.
The amount of MC thread is just barely enough, so if you run out, you can use CC thread like the shawl on the right side to decorate the edges.
More mYak will be available in the future, so be sure to check out our online shop and Instagram. We also recommend using Corrie Worsted from La Bien Aimée, which was released the other day.
The kit is sold out, but if you choose your favorite thread from the online shop and write "Hug Hug Kiss Kiss pattern request" in the remarks column when purchasing, we can attach a Japanese sentence pattern. (The pattern fee will be charged separately.)
Details Thread (color): MC = Miss Babs Yowza (Croset), CC = Quince & Co. Lark (Crow, Kittywake, Iceland)
Needle: US8
