The new issue of Petite Purls is up and it includes one of my latest patterns: Lady Emmeline. The rich, visual texture of the two slipped-stitch patterns paired with the royal colourway really felt like fabrics that a French courtesan might wear.

Knit Simple is on the newsstands and I just received my copy in the mail yesterday. One of my designs is included in the Toggle Mania story.
The Garter-Stripe jacket has a series of toggles attached with i-cord to the wide garter stitch front bands which are worked in Noro Kureyon.
Rock ‘n Knit
One of the pieces in the exhibit, Low-Tech Factory offers a new interpretation on the rocking chair and on knitting. The chair is all about productive relaxation—the movement of the chair operates a simple circular knitting machine that produces a toque.

Your Knits – Candace

Yarn Bombing in Whistler
We took a quick little trip to Whistler on the Rocky Mountaineer train. What a great way to travel. Lovely views, tasty food and great service.
While wandering in the village, Hana spotted some yarn bombing.
