How to tie a scarf and help A Hundred Ravens!

[Translate] As we’re getting into the coldest part of the winter here in the Northern Hemisphere, we find ourselves bundling up to protect against the cold that comes with it. What better way to do that than with a super scarf?! What’s a super scarf? Well, it’s one that’s a minimum of 100″ long and 10″ wide (no, I don’t know who decided on this). Luckily, I have such a pattern for you to make your very own! This scarf came about for 2 reasons. A few years back, A Hundred Ravens generously gifted me some yarn to “play […]


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, […]


All we need is hugzzz … and CABLES!!

[Translate] Well, it’s been an exciting, interesting, informative, reflective, saddening, and emotional (yes, there are more I could add) few months in the online knitting community, hasn’t it?! If you’re unaware of what I’m talking about, head over to Instagram or Ravelry, and scroll through your feed. I’m sure in no time at all you’ll come across the “conversation” that has been going on. If you’re not following me on Instagram, you can do so, and you’ll see mention of it in my feed. I’m going to bypass a summary for the time being, but I will be visiting […]


Sweater September …

[Translate] A couple of years ago, New Stitch A Day developed a 30 Day sweater template and had a 30 day sweater challenge. The concept was completing the seemingly daunting task of knitting a sweater in 30 days! Through doing the challenge what most people discovered was that it wasn’t daunting at all! In fact, it was enjoyable and easily accomplished. My friend Zylo is continuing the challenge and has thrown the gauntlet. She is doing Sweater September, where the goal is to knit a sweater in the month of September. Now I know we’re 1/3 of the way […]


Hmmmmm….

[Translate] I’ve been looking at the comments from the current VKAL I have going and I’ve noticed 2 things … 1) The people doing it are having a great time and really enjoying it. They like the yarn, the color choices, and the pattern and are saying this double knitting thing is awesome! They’re surprised at how easy it is and are wondering why they haven’t done it before! 2) A lot of people NOT doing it are liking the pattern and wishing they could do it too! Number 1 is great, and gives me a very warm and […]
