As many may have noticed, I’m a bit of a Jack of all Trades these days. Well, last month I got to add a new skill to the list, hand model! I’ve met Jacqueline Sava, of Soak* a number of t...
From Laguna Beach I flew to San Francisco. Let me say, I want to go back right away! It is true that it takes your heart. I think that it was one of my best trips ever. While I am sure I would have h...
Last week my family took a trip to sunny southern California! The title of this post is a bit misleading, as we were close to Laguna Beach, and only went to LA to get to and from the airport. Not to ...
Every once in a while I get on a crafting jag. It’s not that I ever really stop crafting, but that sometimes an idea comes into my head and I can’t get it out. It must be done, even if it...
I don’t know about where you live, but Toronto’s weather has been changing more that a teenager changes outfits. Every day is completely different, it’s like someone is picking the ...
As many of you have probably noticed, it has been a while since I blogged! Have no fear, I haven’t gone anywhere. I’m not really sure what happened. On the one hand I feel like I got a li...
First off, thank-you for all the kind words on Pinehurst! I have updated the link to the Squam shop, so that should work for everyone now. I am entering into a self instituted bout of finish-it-up-it...
I know that I have been totally remiss in blogging about this, but the blog went a little funny on the insides, and wasn’t letting me upload pictures directly from my computer. Luckily I know a...
I have been knitting lots lately. Here are a few of the gems that have been falling off my needles. gramps from 9 Months of Knitting, knit in Debbie Bliss Merino Aran. Lucille, knit with stripes inst...
So far the month of January has been dominated by a very large stripey garter stitch project that I can’t really say much about. I can say that it involves me knitting three 5×2 foot (ish)...
For the holidays I made most of my gifts, but I didn’t knit them. Instead I embroidered a bunch of ornaments and framed them in little 3″ hoops. The images I used are from Doodle Stitchin...
Happy New Year everyone! I know that I (like so many others) have slipped up on my blogging in the last few months, so here I am, starting the month and the year as I mean to go on. Lots of my knitti...
I can’t believe a month has gone by without me blogging! What happened?! I got caught up in some secret knitting, and then the next thing you know it’s the holidays and no knitting is saf...
Last week my mom and I took a last minute train trip to Montreal for a few days. What fun! I can’t believe we don’t do it more often. It was only 6 hours on the train, which isn’t t...
It is no secret that Halloween is a favourite holiday of mine. I love making things and I love dressing up, so I find Halloween weekend the perfect time to put both to good use. This year I decided t...
These are projects that are in the works, but I thought I would give you a sneak peek of how they are coming along.
Today’s Fashion Friday post brings you two recently finished projects! I am so happy to have some new things in my wardrobe, especially since one of them I sewed. I used to have a skirt that I ...
One day way back in August I was thinking about my Reunion Cowl pattern and how much everyone has enjoyed it. I power knit it over two weeks when I was underemployed last September. I thought that ma...
I would like to apologize for taking so long to get this last pattern out into the world. Computers are not my strong suit, and getting the chart into the file proved to be a mite more challenging th...
I am going to interrupt the regular scheduled Knitting Cycle Style post for a … regular scheduled Fashion Fridays post. So what if it’s two days late anyway! Getting back from New York ha...
Today’s Knitting Cycle Style pattern is Pennyfarthing. These are a pair each of legwarmers and armwarmers. They are pretty simple, but the buttons add an exciting detail. The key to finding a g...
Sorry for the bit of radio silence here in the teahouse, between trying to squeeze in all the last New York things and getting back home, business got pushed aside. Now I am back in Toronto and ready...
Today’s Knitting Cycle Style pattern is the Momentum Cowl. I love cowls, especially when I am riding my bike. They easily fill up those cracks between neck and coat, and they can be pulled up o...
Another day, another pattern. You can click here to see the rest of the Knitting Cycle Style patterns, available for pre-order now. Today’s pattern is the Tour Chapeau. Styled after traditional...
As many of you may have guessed, I have had some patterns cooking up over here in the teahouse for the past few months. The truth is, it’s not just one or two patterns, there are 8, and they ar...
I am currently sitting in the city airport in Toronto, waiting for my flight to be called to fly to New York. I’m going to have a real life vacation, two weeks in the big city. To say that I am...
So my mom and I did end up going on that adventure after work yesterday. We met by bicycle, each having picked up a few things for dinner. Some salad, a sandwich, a tart and some wine. What an excell...
I swear that in a few days I am going to have so much knitting to show you, you aren’t going to know what to do with it! My second Sock Summit sock is only a few rows away from being done, I...
It has been strange to go from melting on the hottest July on record, to freezing in a convention center in Portland, and then back to the heat in Toronto. It was kind of nice to wear all my woolies ...
I’ve been trying to think of what to say about my experiences last week at Sock Summit, and I’m not really sure what to say yet. It was such a bit experience, so many people, so many hour...
