Barrington is here!

[Translate] The pattern for Barrington is finally live! This is without question, my favourite design to date, and I’m sure it will be at or near the top for quite some time. Why? Well, the story behind Barrington is a long one. It actually started very soon after I learned to knit. It was at this time that I discovered my fascination with cables!! While I love almost every aspect of knitting, cables remain my favourite thing to create. I have a difficult time creating something without a cable in there somewhere–you’ve probably noticed that. A little while back, […]

Scarf it up …

[Translate] What a learning experience! Ever had a moment when you’d love to go back in time knowing everything you know now? I have one right now. It’s November 2nd and the scarf calendar is not quite finished. The pieces are all knit (thanks to a little help from Anne and Donna) and the layout is done and I’ve even sent a copy to the printers already. Unfortunately, there’s a flaw or two that escaped my eye. So I have to reshoot a couple of the pics and resend it to the printers. To those of you who have […]

More Alice!

[Translate] My knitting library has a new favorite item – Alice Starmore’s Aran Knitting.

It is as amazing as the first one – because it is the first one – but with MORE Alice, MORE Star, MORE Alice Starmore. I was lucky enough […]

Apologies …

[Translate] I am very sorry everybody but I have been very busy since Friday (with my birthday on Saturday and all) and didn’t get a chance to do the Tuesday Tips for today. I have to run out and probably won’t get back in time to do them for today so I will put up a special post tomorrow for this week’s tips. I am not leaving you empty handed though, I have been able to finish the shrug – called Angel – and was also able to take some pictures of it. Here are a couple of them […]

Looking for some help …

[Translate] Hi there, yes, you’re at the right place. I just decided to change things around a little bit and minimize the site. I hope you like it. So, let me jump right in to today’s post – I need help. I’m working with a friend in Poland to develop some motifs for another upcoming ebook – the first one has been well received and started a snowball that is getting bigger and bigger. The problem I am facing is not being born an octopus. With only 2 hands and 24 hours in a day, I am finding it […]
