The Knit Must Go On …

[Translate] CORVID-19. It’s affecting all us regardless of whether or not we have it. Recently, across most of North America, governments have issued decrees advising everyone to stay home as much as possible, leaving only for groceries and medical assistance where/when needed. Prior to that there have been bans on gatherings of more than 5 people in public places. While this may help slow the spread of this virus, it has very effectively stopped most in person social interaction outside of the home. Stitchers have always been very social people. Most cities and towns have a social aspect to […]

All about Woollinn!

[Translate] Episode 4 of the show is now up! You can see it at this link – Episode 4! Fair warning – it’s a looooong one, but I think it’s worth it! Why? Well, it’s dedicated entirely to Woollinn 2019. If you didn’t make it you may feel like you had been there and if you did it will bring back some memories from just over a month ago! There’s a more comprehensive breakdown of it under The Show tab on this site, as I’ve finally gotten around to getting that page up and running. I’ll be putting up […]

There will be many more in the future, as the initial response from the news of the show at Stitches West was very encouraging! As a matter of fact, I have already received quite a few items to give away to viewers of the upcoming show! Some of these will be open for everyone, subscribers or not, and others will only be for subscribers. Just a little tease as to what some of these things […]

WOOLLINN!!

[Translate] #youshouldhavebeenthere If you didn’t make it to Woollinn this year, the above hashtag sums it up in one (okay, technically 5) word! I’m interrupting my regular postings to bring you this quick review of an absolutely stupendous event, especially for a first year! I would have to say the theme of the event this year was #colour!! It was everywhere, vibrant, and saturated. Here is a link to a walk through I did on Facebook. Unfortunately, because of the size of it, it didn’t upload in HD. 🙁 Woollinn Walkthrough There was an great list of instructors teaching […]
