Happy Hallowe’en! We had a little fun during a photo shoot last week!
Knit City Recap
What an exciting, exhiliarating, exhausting weekend! I’m still high on the fumes of fibre and the contagious excitement that was all around me.

Entrelac for the Whole Family
I’ve rewritten my Entrelac Mittens pattern in five sizes—enough for the whole family. The design is featured in Knit Noro: Accessories. After I found out that the publishers decided to offer it in just one size I wanted to test out my sizing theory.
Entrelac Workshop
If you’ve wanted to learn how to knit entrelac in-the-round, this is your chance.
If you’ve wanted to knit my Entrelac Mittens from Knit Noro: Accessories in a smaller or larger size than the one published, this is your chance.
Knit Social: Indie Night
I’m excited to be participating in the upcoming Indie Night: a Yarn Sale and Swap that is happening this coming Thursday, September 29 from 6 to 11 p.m. at the Vancouver Alpen Club.
Knitting Workshops in Edmonton
I’m teaching a whole series of workshops at River City Yarns in Edmonton starting next week. There are classes almost every day for two weeks running from August 17th to August 28th at both of their locations.
Pic-Knit 2010
I love having the opportunity to meet knitters face to face and I especially enjoy receiving feedback on my patterns in person. Next month I’ll have that opportunity because I’m participating in the Surrey Museum’s Pic-Knit event.
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.
Honest
I have been knitting! When I realised that one of my vendors, Simply Socks Yarn Company was going to be at Sock Summit, I approached her about displaying some of my samples.
… and then …
I had great intentions of blogging more regularly throughout the summer …
… and then we bought a house …
… and then I had to pack up all the yarn and our other “things” …
… to get our apartment staged and cleaned to sell …
… and then we went on vacation …
… and then we sold our apartment (while we were on vacation–how great is that!) …
… and then I taught a week’s worth of classes (the owners, staff and students at River City Yarns are fantastic) …
… and then I went to Sock Summit …
… and so it goes!
Upcoming workshops
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.
