Calendar

Cables of color …

I have been a little quiet these past few months, so it’s time to start talking again, so to speak. It has been very busy and it always surprises me when I look up and realize that another day has gone by, which turns into another week, then month, and before you know it, we’re all celebrating Christmas and the New Year! Well, I have a few posts to get in before then, so I’ll start by continuing where I left off and give a little preview at the same time … Color can be a wonderful thing in […]

Those Calendar Men!

The boys are back in town! Well, the calendar boys that is! Actually, the calendar MEN! That’s right, it’s time for the 2015 It Takes Balls To Knit Scarf Calendar. Once again this year we have a 13 month calendar featuring  13 scarves, 13 patterns, 13 men, and not much else. This year we are also featuring guest designer Laura Patterson of Fiber Dreams who has designed 5 of the scarves in the calendar. Also this year, we have partnered with Kollage Yarns, who have generously supplied all the yarn for the scarves in the calendar. The scarves are […]

And onward we go …

Hello all, I hope you had a great holiday season. After all the panic around the Mayan calendar, it’s great to learn it was only a flipping on the page of the calendar and not the end of the world!

The first is the 2013 Calendar. Yes, it’s coming out and for those of you who have already ordered one, you […]

Thanks Amy!

While I was in Chicago for VKL in October, I met a great lady named Amy Kaspar. In actuality, she met me, as I was getting my shoes shined and knitting. I’m very glad to say that even though she’s a resident of Chicago, she visited me two weeks ago! She was in Seattle for work, and made the trip up to Vancouver to visit with some friends – myself included. We had a great visit over lunch at The Foundation (a great vegetarian restaurant on Main Street) and she even wrote an article for the Chicago Examiner about […]

Calendar boyz are almost here …

Well, it’s getting close to that time of year and I’m pleased to say that the calendars are almost ready! It was a huge learning curve from last year and I think they’re even better this year. I know the entire process was a little easier anyway! So I did a shoot with Bruce last night and here are a few pics to show you what’s in store … The model above is Bruce – don’t you want to see him nekkid! 😉 He’s January 2013 and a great way to start off your year. I have to say […]
