  • August Club – Coral Mint

    August always seems to represent the last of summer; the CNE opens in Toronto, back-to-school ads are everywhere and people get their knitting mojo back on. However, from a weather perspective here in Southern Ontario, it’s still hot hot hot, and can remain so well into the dog days of early October (my personal favourite…

  • The Canada Day Conundrum

    July 1st is coming up fast, and all I can think about it the July Club Colour. I mean, obviously it has to be something related to Canada Day, and not just any Canada Day, but the celebration of the 150th anniversary of this awesome place I call home. Typically, Tito and I celebrate by…

  • June Club Colour – Rose Gold

    For the inaugural club colour I wanted to do something a bit different – classy and a little understated, but very summery and chic all the same. I decided to take a crack at a colour that normally appears under much shinier circumstances (and I confess to being worried it wouldn’t work) but I was…

  • Lace at last??

    Bases have so much personality; they can really make or break your colours. Some of them are luxurious to the touch, and some of them practically drink in colour. On the other hand, some of them aren’t robust enough for my ombré dyeing process, and some of them require entirely different treatments that are difficult…

  • Ombre Knits

    Late last night the book went to print – lots of time, passion, knitting, photography, layout, tech editing, spell checking, proof reading, retouching and planning have gone into this project that I confess to be so very, very proud of. The book tops out at 80 glorious pages of beautiful photography, large charts, written directions…

  • Happy Spring! New colours :)

    They’re here at last, and there’s at least at little bit of everything in stock. You will notice that two of our old colours, Labradorite and Blue Hour, have been retired (at least for now!). Hope you enjoy these lovelies as much as I enjoyed making them! Pride is a full spectrum, from violet to…

  • Snow Dogs

    It came down pretty heavily in Burlington last night, so of course I had to get some shots of my girls this morning (after digging out the car, ugh!).
