I spend endless hours on Ravelry, searching, day-dreaming, getting inspired. It’s like knitters porn for me to cruise people’s gorgeous projects. I love it all. However, I barely graze the surface of what Ravelry can do–I rarely participate in forums, I’ve never queued anything, and…
I apologize for the dearth of posts lately, between poor Happy and my day job things have been hella busy. That doesn’t mean there is no great creative going on though :) In a few weeks I’m leaving on a cruise with Tito and my…
My new pattern for a simple, quick, uber manly fingerless glove is almost done – and I was just trying to get some FO shots of the first pair. But cold has addled the brains here at the office and we ended up doing this…
My New Years was spent taking FO shots of my new pattern – perfect for skating, more serviceable than you’d believe, adorable as all get out… my new pattern is the Bum Cosy. And yes, these are the most photos of my bum that you…
I decided to join the TFA holiday KAL this year, as part of my triumphant return to knitting after giving the wrists a break for a month or so. Ah, the best laid plans. I started out on a pair of flip-tops mitts in Orange…
I’ve had a horrid problem these past few months (that, as a positive, side effect, led to my spending so much time exploring resin) which is this: something is the matter with my wrists. They ache like nobodies business. It’s not even a mystery –…

I know you guys have patiently sat through an awful lot of posts about Resin Jewelry – so it’s time for a triumphant return to knitting. And where better to start than with a free pattern? The Bev Cowl uses 200g of worsted weight yarn to…
Today I would like to provide the ultimate, irrefutable proof that I can bend time: In the middle of all this resin madness, I have an FO to share. I’m sure you’re all sick of hearing about resin ;) so here is my latest knitting…
You know you’ve got amazing friends when they’re willing to tramp off in search of an alpaca farm with you :) The morning after our hike in Collingwood we all drove to the Kickin’ Back Alpaca Ranch in Markdale Ontario for some fleecy love. Carolyn…
Last Sunday, myself and my favourite likeminded nerdy girls held the much-anticipated ‘dying party’ at our (subsequently trashed) condo. Rayna and Leslie came over bearing bearing armfuls of fibre and edibles, (Tito retreated to the bedroom with the computer and headphones), and we did our…
Ok, so he’s not that allergic. Tito’s pretty awesome =D and he made me this: Pretty snazzy, eh? If you’d like to make your own, or to sucker someone into making one for you… he’s posted a DIY right here.
