Vacation knitting is always a conundrum, right? You don’t want to be bored, you don’t want to lose all that precious knitting time, and you don’t want to run out of stuff to work on. Here’s my criteria: Mindless (No charts, no lace, no pattern to carry about) Portable (No multiple balls of yarn, no…

While Rayna and I were in Waterloo we decided to check out another brand new store in nearby Kitchener, called ‘Woolverine’ (great name!). This store is literally a week old, and located in a fantastic space above street level. It feels a little tucked away but I have no doubt that once the word gets…

Last Saturday, Rayna (my partner in fiber-related crime) invited me on a road trip to Waterloo to visit a yarn store I had never been to, ‘Shall We Knit?’. Much damage to my credit cards ensued because, wow, what a gorgeous store. Good thing I’m shameless when it comes to yarn. We met with the…

I apologize for the dearth of posts – I’ve been away for a week on a truly memorable family vacation. My parents, Tito and myself went on a caribbean cruise (highlights of that to come later). My mom had asked that I bring at least one nice outfit (I brought several) and so I commenced…

If knitting were an extreme sport, then last night was, like, the knitting equivalent of the space jump. I understand that some folks may think that’s a slight exaggeration, but let me tell you, it didn’t feel that way. So I’m working on a 2 skein giant Haruni. I’m halfway through the last chart when I…

I apologize for the dearth of posts lately, between poor Happy and my day job things have been hella busy. That doesn’t mean there is no great creative going on though :) In a few weeks I’m leaving on a cruise with Tito and my parents for a week. It will be a much-needed unwinding…

My new pattern for a simple, quick, uber manly fingerless glove is almost done – and I was just trying to get some FO shots of the first pair. But cold has addled the brains here at the office and we ended up doing this instead.

My New Years was spent taking FO shots of my new pattern – perfect for skating, more serviceable than you’d believe, adorable as all get out… my new pattern is the Bum Cosy. And yes, these are the most photos of my bum that you can ever expect to have to endure on this blog…

I decided to join the TFA holiday KAL this year, as part of my triumphant return to knitting after giving the wrists a break for a month or so. Ah, the best laid plans. I started out on a pair of flip-tops mitts in Orange label cashmere (in frost), but then saw Jane Richmond’s Spate.…
