This coming weekend I’m teaching four knitting workshops at BC’s Creative Expo at Canada Place in Vancouver. It’s being billed as a consumer education trade show and in addition to classes, seminars and stage shows, there will be a vendor’s mall with 45 exhibitors.

Hallowe’en Pumpkin
Audrey sent me pictures of the Jack that she completed for a friend’s granddaughter. Charlee is so adorable in this sweater! Thank you, Audrey, for sharing.
This pattern is only available as a kit.
Little House in the Big Woods
I love children’s literature and while I was pregnant, I so looked forward to reading to Hana. I wanted to share all my childhood favourites and discover new ones together. We just finished reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House in the Big Woods.
Tantalizing Tootsies
I’m still working on the second sock of Cat Bordhi’s pattern, Bartholomew’s Tantalizing Socks. The first sock was completed along with several other single socks for my workshop last weekend where I taught the sky sock architecture from Cat’s book, New Pathways for Sock Knitters.
Stairway to Heaven?
Cat leads and interesting journey into her brilliant sock construction. I have followed her footsteps (in stocking feet, no less) up to the sky and immersed myself in her sky sock architecture. All of this in preparation for one of the classes I’m teaching tomorrow at Wool and Wicker based on Cat Bordhi’s New Pathways for Sock Knitters book.
Two new stores
Two yarn shops in the United States have just started carrying my patterns.
Look for my patterns at Knot Just Yarn in Burlington, WA. Becky was introduced to my patterns through one of her employees who recently completed Kieran.
The Fashion Forecast is Grey
I’ve been working on a nice, basic grey cardigan for the past while. I started it in the summer on one of our vacations and it’s a good mindless travel/t.v. knit. The exciting part is soon to come though.
Margot’s Gloves
Margot sent me a picture of the Guess Who? gloves she recently completed. She won the kit from me by entering her name in a draw at my tent at the Victoria Knit-Out last June.
Falling Leaves
When did that happen? I just blinked and when I opened my eyes, the leaves were changing colour and falling on the ground. This is the rather pretty view down my street.
Nordic Knitting
I’m on Cloud Nine! I’ve been working long and hard to have Susanna Hansson come to Vancouver to give a workshop to our Guild. First we had challenges over the venue and we found a really affordable location at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition.
