So third times a charm, as the saying goes. I finally have a hat that is not only totally adorable, it fits too. Have I mentioned I love cables? There is a man at the farmer’s market that makes wooden needles, I think I might ask him if he could make a few cable needles [...]

I seriously love this blog, but sadly I often neglect it. I am so dedicated to the other place, just hard to make it over here to just blog craftiness.
I have been a busy little knitter. I have been dutifully working away at the scarf. It is an eight foot scarf so it is very [...]

I received the coolest Christmas present from my ever thoughtful husband, a swift! I tested it out the other night and it is lovely. However, I am very tempted now to find a ball winder

All this moving and getting settled screws with my knitting time! So not fair!
I have been knitting though! I knit two pair of mittens, a toque and now I am working on a scarf for my daughter. It is rather blustery and cold up here in Canada. Need to bundle these kids up!
I also received [...]

I went to my very first Wool Festival this past weekend.
I am in love. Picture it, HUNDREDS of booths all dedicated to knitting and spinning. I myself not being a spinner (gosh I have trouble finding time to knit!), was still taken aback by the amazing tools and wool.There was so much YARN! I could [...]

Alas a world void of colour would be no world at all.
Especially for a knitter.
My inspiration for the above was Marina. She always has the most amazing colourways.
Must knit more so I can dye more
Getting Organized
Posted by: chelle on: 19 Sep, 2007
Since moving (and giving birth, never underestimate a newborn’s ability to send your knitting into a tailspin!), I have been scatter brained with my knitting. Picking up projects, dropping projects, getting things done, forgetting others. I was so excited when I received my invite to Raverly a few months ago.
Oh my.
It has been a [...]

I did it! I knit my first pair of socks.
Last year I Ooo’ed and Ahh’ed over Krista’s socks. I would snoop Knitty and covet over the funky pattern. Then I saw a post on my mom’s group for a knitting group forming. It was a sign from above. Although my Grandma taught me the garter [...]

Since buying a cone of beautiful wool from Marina, I was in the need of a scale to measure out some skeins, to dye up. Well Marina hooked me up with a link on Ebay and I scored a scale for 98 cents!! Plus shipping but still! Isn’t it pretty? (that so counts the gorgeous [...]
