This year I’ve managed to finish my planned knitted gifts for my best friend and her family earlier than usual and I plan to mail these gifts off to Halifax on Monday. I don’t always manage to have them completed before Christmas. I knit socks for my best friend and her two daughters using yarn from my stash. I’ve been trying out Fish Lips Kiss Heel lately so I substituted this heel into each sock pattern. I like how it fits...

My annual trunk show at The Loop in Halifax, Nova Scotia was held on Saturday, May 23, 2015. We were a little unlucky with the weather as it was a cool day and there was a wicked rain/hail storm late afternoon. It was very busy at the store between noon and 3 pm and then quiet for the rest of the day. The first customer of the day brought in this lovely shawl that she knit using my Angel Select Lace in the Caribbean Waters colourway.   We...

My friend, Natalie Servant recently released this Cormier Grille Shawl pattern as the January pattern from her new subscription e-book Canadian Art Deco Knits. Natalie knit her large fingering weight sample of this shawl using about 1.5 skeins of my sock yarn in the pewter colourway. This was my first time providing yarn support to a designer and I’m really glad that Natalie was the first. Natalie is releasing a pattern a month in 2015 as...

I checked with Barb to see if her oldest daughter, Madeline would like socks too and I was assured that she would love a pair. I managed to have two and...

My interview with Robin is up today on her blog entitled “How to be a...
