The Blue Brick | Inspired Yarns

When we first got engaged, it seems like the big day was ages away, but then just like that it was in less than 3 weeks. It’s amazing how many moving parts a thing like a wedding has, and while my mom has relieved me…

Now that Tito and I are less than a month from the wedding, we were seriously hedging about whether or not to do another Etsy update beforehand, or wait until we get back. We compromised ;) We’re going to do a small Etsy update (60…

In exactly one month, Tito and I are getting married! My partner in crime, my adventure buddy, my muse, my travel companion, and the willing participant in all my crazy schemes… Tito is perfect for me. He’s also my balance, my calm place, my reminder to…

As you’ve probably gathered, Tito and I are photographers :) We travel, both within Ontario and around the world (often on shoestring budgets, it can be done!) documenting and being inspired. In my day job I work in a design firm, and my other hobbies include…

Big news at the Blue Brick! The Fall with SweetGeorgia Vol 1 Collection is out, and I’m one of the designers =D I’m super honoured, and excited to be a part of this, with my new design the ‘Siesta’ cowl. Check out the lookbook here, and the entire…

~A few quick notes for tomorrows Etsy Shop Update~ The Etsy Shop address is https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheBlueBrick. Right now the shop looks like it only has my patterns, but that will change at 1pm EST tomorrow. I will carry 4 bases tomorrow: Tobermory Worsted Worsted Weight 100% Superwash…

‘Yachats’ (pronounced ‘yahats’ as I understand it) is a small town off the coastal 101 highway in Oregon. The town is just north of Cape Perpetua, where I took my ‘Thor’s Well’ shot. We checked into a hotel right on the water, and walked out…

More colourways to add this this Friday’s Etsy shop update at 1:00pm EST! I sent out a sneak peek of this one last night; presenting ‘Terra Cotta Reflection’: I wanted to branch out of the blues into some rich reds, rust and saffron tones, and…

This simple slouch/touque is a quick, mindless, easy knit for both guys and gals. Because, let’s face it; guys are picky. It can’t be too detailed, in a girly colour or contain un-manly motifs. Here then, is a base pattern for a very simple hat…

We’ve been working around the clock inventing new colour ways for an Etsy Shop update happening this Friday at 1pm EST. I’m pushing the time forward a bit to make things easier for west coast knitters :) A few things that are going to be…

We’re ready to ship! Everyone who ordered last Friday can expect their goodies very soon. I finally got my yarn tags in, which was the last bit I needed. I can’t express how happy it makes me to see this pile of Merrickville Gold with…

I’ve been sharing some images lately of the reskeined work getting ready to ship, and a few folks have asked about the ‘why’ of reskeining, so I thought I’d talk a little about it here. During the hand painting process, things can get very messy.…
