Here we go! Hi, I am Annabelle Drumm and I am delighted to launch this new site DrummRoll Knitwear. Here you will find my new knitting patterns as they are launched. I aim to go into more depth than you would get on the pattern itself. Here you can learn about:
- the inspiration or original vision
- how I chose the yarns
- what figure shapes or bodies the garment will suit best
- plus any tips and hints to refining the design so you can get the most out of it.
I’ll also be keeping notes on any new technique or stitch pattern that looks interesting. Hand knitting has been around for millennia around the world. The history is rich with traditions, motifs, stories and tangents from each geographical area. There is SO much to learn in the older cultures, regardless of whether the climate is warm or cold. I am looking forward to sharing with you what I discover, particularly when it’s not regularly covered in modern day knitting patterns. Perhaps it will encourage you to design something for yourself.
What you’ll find
At this stage I’ll keep the website fairly simple. You can read the latest blog posts here. Purchase the knitting patterns in the shop or on my Ravelry store. Contact me if you have any enquiries.
Outside of this site, keep in touch by following me on instagram and Pinterest.
After being a Booking Agent and Manager for many years I have no problem promoting other designers so, if I see a knitting pattern that really stands out from the crowd, you may find it featured here as well. I want to make the site useful to you. It’s not just about me and my patterns, but will be a fun and educational resource.
Enjoy your time here and subscribe to get the latest patterns or blog post headings delivered to your inbox as they are published.
Have fun!
