Merry Christmas …

Well, for those of us in the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice has come and gone. That’s a good thing though, because it means that there’s more daylight, which means more natural light to knit by! And in 2 days, it will be Christmas as well. If you haven’t finished your shopping and need a last minute gift, might I suggest the first ever It Takes Balls To Knit Wall Calendar for 2012? If you’re local you can still get it in time to go under the tree! You can order one here – 2012 CALENDAR. It’s a 13 […]

There’s still time …

With just over a week left before Christmas, there’s still time to order your calendar and have it before Christmas. They make a great Christmas gift, even for non-knitters. Yes, they’re only $20 and if you get yours by the end of today, you’ll be entered into a draw for an iPad2. As well, part of the proceeds will go to Prostate and Breast cancer research. Included with the calendar is the password for a page that will be added to this site this weekend that includes the patterns for 5 of the scarves in the calendar, including the […]

Heart matters …

If you’ve gotten your calendar, you’ll see a very interesting scarf in September. It’s a shadow knit scarf and from the angles it was shot at you should be able to make out the shape of a heart quite easily. If you could factor in for the distortion, it would be an exact replica of the logo for HEART-ART, Lara West’s company and website. Lara was even thoughtful enough to paint her toenails pink for the shoot. If you remember a post a little while back, you’ll have an idea of how we get the image of the heart […]

It’s beginning to look a lot like …

Nope, I’m not going to finish that sentence, but I’m sure you know how it goes. Yes, it’s that time of year when everybody starts to get a little crazy trying to find that perfect gift. I may have the answer for you – and it may be 2 gifts in one. The first ever (but not the last) It Takes Balls To Knit … Scarves wall calendar is here! If you’re already ordered one, you should be getting it shortly as they’ve been mailed out. If you haven’t, well, what the heck are you waiting for??? I have […]

Calendar boys and girls …

I’d like to extend my apologies for not getting the calendar out on time. Sincerely. I truly have learned a lot in doing this project and plan to make it a lot smoother next year! As a matter of fact, next year’s calendar is already started! So while we’re all patiently waiting for them to arrive from the printers (I’m hoping to get them by Friday), I thought I’d give you a preview of some of the pictures that may or may not have made it to the calendar. Yeah, I know, I’m a tease. I try hard! Before […]
