What a fabulous commercial! This YouTube video shows the making of a natural gas commercial incorporating the magical warmth of knitting. It’s a must see.
It came to me by way of Knitknigel and hizKNITS.

3 Periods
We went to a Paralympics sledge hockey game on the weekend. What fun! Japan beat the Czech Republic 2 to 1.
I managed to knit about 4″ on the back of a baby sweater I’m making for a friend.
No Excuses
I’m trying to teach my daughter to not always have an excuse for when something goes wrong. I emphasize accepting responsibility for one’s own actions. I need to model that behavior. Sooo … it’s been a while, and I apologize for the silence.
Beaded Beginnings
I’ve started a Christmas gift for my son’s teacher. My deadline is Friday since that’s the last day of school before the Christmas break. I’m knitting my new lacey scarf pattern called Beaded Beauty.
Is it too late?
I’m mentally starting a Christmas gift knitting list in my head. I know, I know, there’s not much time left—10 days to be exact. We’ll see how much happens. I plan to do some heavy duty knitting in the next little bit.
Wrist Warmers Found
I was out walking today and found a pair of wrist warmers that someone dropped. Maybe they’re yours? Someone else nicely placed them in the crook of a tree so they’re easier to see.
They are knit in a bulky natural coloured yarn with a lovely cable down the back.
I’m knitting again!
Shh, don’t tell my chiropractor, but I’ve been sneaking in some knitting. My shoulder is much better than it was. I’m still a bit stiff, but I’ve been stiff for a couple of years now (it’s the knitting).
Out of Commission
I’ve done something to my rotator cuff and as a consequence, I can barely move my arm. It’s called ‘frozen shoulder’ which as a description doesn’t sound so bad. What the name doesn’t describe is the pain experienced when you forget and accidentally move the arm.
Koigu Ruby
There are alternatives to using self-patterning yarns in my designs. Handpainted yarns look wonderful. I just finished my latest Ruby and I’m loving it.
New Patterns
We’re giving a couple of favourite early patterns a new lease on life. Both Tobie’s Mittens (originally called Self-Patterning Mittens) and Cuffs were published in the Accord Knitting Pattern-A-Day calendars a few years back.
