My latest glove design, ‘Los Guantes De Claudia’ are finally complete! These gloves were my first ever collaboration project. The lovely Claudia from Eweknit here in Toronto gave me a skein of Zen Yarn Garden Serenity DK, literally on a whim, the very first time…
I finally knitted a Henslowe! I kept holding out for a skein of yarn that was at least 450 yards, since the pattern calls for up to 437 yards. This was knitted up in Zen Yarn Garden Serenity Silk (Colour: Yellow Opal) which comes in skeins…
Finally finished the Dustland Hat by Stephen West, and it goes perfectly with Tito’s Guernsey Wrap. A little too perfectly, the stitch patterns in both are almost identical. No complaints though, it made for a good match with the scarf. I totally did something wrong here,…
I’m actually getting a head start on Christmas knitting this year – we’ll see how long this bout of organized enthusiasm lasts. This is the Fairview Scarf by Tanis, and I’m working in the delicious TFA Red label Cashmere/Silk in the colourway ‘grapefruit’. It’s for…

Done at last! This was a great airplane knit. I can’t wait until it’s cold enough to enjoy. The pattern is the Cream and Sugar Cowl by Alana Dakos. The yarn… oh the yarn. It’s Sweet Georgia’s Cashluxe Fine – a Cashmere/Merino blend that is…
So I finished this lace shawl, and it’s so gorgeous I can’t believe I knit it. It’s the first thing I’ve done entirely from charts, and I have to say I’m pretty pleased with m’bad self. The pattern is Mystic Fire by Anna Dalvi, and…
