My friend Caroline is battling cancer, and wrote this touching post about our day together which I spent teaching her to knit (What better companion for hospital waits and exhausted days?). She is inspiring, and a fighter. If you’re in Toronto, there is a fundraiser to help Caroline offset the costs of her treatment, which will include live entertainment, a silent auction (including resin jewellery!) and a performance of the High Heel Revolution that is sure to be awesome!

Cancer Chose The Wrong Woman To F%$! With
10:45pm. July 16th 2014.
How I’m feeling: I’m exhausted. I did two things instead of one today (and I also had a 3rd set of plans scheduled – that I didn’t make it to). I don’t regret following through with my two plans – as I had a really great time – but I know I pushed myself too hard. I know I should have stopped the moment I started tuning out in the middle of conversations during my first set of plans. Also, my mouth cankers (a chemo side-effect) came back – on my tongue and left side of my mouth and they are quite painful. After this post, I’m going to get ready for bed. I have three sets of plans tomorrow, that I’m likely going to have to chop down to two or one. It’s not easy having such a limited supply of energy and focus juice…

The yarn from The Blue Brick is beautiful quality and unlike any other I've worked with. Each skein is hand painted and the colours are spectacular! Customer service is always excellent.
Always an amazing service and top quality product. The yarn is exquisit! Customer service is always quick and the people I deal with are always super nice. I only have the nicest things to say about this shop :)
The Blue Brick continues to be one of my go-to brands of yarn. I have been a fiber artist all my life and when I found Shireen’s products, I met my soul yarn! Each strand has been meticulously designed and crafted. You can see the care, attention, and love that is in each skein or cake!
Beautiful Lucious yarn.
Love the yarn!! It’s gorgeous!!
