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...

We headed to Port Hope on the Friday and we stayed at the Summerhill B&B again as we had enjoyed our stay...

I started dyeing up silk hankies (matawa) in January and recently added them for sale to my website. Matawa are 100 % silk hankies with dozens of layers in each hankie. Each layer can be spun one at a time or can be drafted (stretched) and knitted directly. There are several silk hankies in each 1 oz (28 g) package. I have also created a few 1/2 oz (14 g) packages to enable people to give this a try with only a small investment. A few weeks...
