Done at last! This was a great airplane knit. I can’t wait until it’s cold enough to enjoy. The pattern is the Cream and Sugar Cowl by Alana Dakos. The yarn… oh the yarn. It’s Sweet Georgia’s Cashluxe Fine – a Cashmere/Merino blend that is unbelievable to touch. The yarn was a gift from Yvette,…

So I finished this lace shawl, and it’s so gorgeous I can’t believe I knit it. It’s the first thing I’ve done entirely from charts, and I have to say I’m pretty pleased with m’bad self. The pattern is Mystic Fire by Anna Dalvi, and the yarn is Northbound knitting Superwash Merino in the gorgeous…

I’m in the mood for fall knitting these days – and this new pattern was inspired by a friend of mine who had a slouch hat that she loved so much she wore it almost every day, indoors and out, last winter. It set me thinking about how much lovelier it would be if it…

I’ve updated the pattern for Jax to include instructions for a full-length leg warmer pattern as well as the boot topper version – I was enlightened to the need for this by someone who listed it as a project on Ravelry, and let’s just say she wasn’t kind. It was an interesting experience for me…

My TFA Colour KAL project is finally finished, off the needles and I love it. I love it so much I’ve already cast on another one. The Pink Grapefruit turned out to be just the thing. Ravelry project page here: This is the Colour Affection shawl all done! Thank you to the lovely Jeanette for modelling…

Just a little update for what’s on the needles – The Colour Affection shawl is coming along nicely, despite the fact that every row feels like an eternity now. We went to the Purple Purl on the weekend to pick up the final colour. So far it’s chocolate and mint. I thought, Mallard? Deep Sea?…

The Shattered Sun Shawl is from Sweet Georgia Knits in Vancouver. Designed by Felicia Lo – this pattern was so gorgeous that I cast on almost as soon as I saw it. Ravelry Project page here. The recommended yarn was not carried anywhere here in Toronto, so I substituted for IndigoDragonfly MCN Sock – in…
