I can’t believe the time is going so quickly. A week ago I went to the Fibrefest International with Carmen and Nigel. Nigel made the arrangements with me while he was in his last weeks of a 4-month-long trip to India with my Dad.

Stitch into Spring
I’m teaching a gloves workshop at an upcoming Guild event on April 12th. If you’re in the Vancouver area and want a personal lesson on knitting the Guess Who?
Meet the Designer
I have been invited to be a guest speaker at the Fun Knits Spring Knitting Retreat in April. How exciting is that?! I’ll be talking about how I became a knitwear designer, designing children’s clothes and what inspires me.
What a weekend!
Last weekend I traveled to Victoria and spent the whole time attending five Sally Melville workshops. It was such a great birthday present from my husband. I’m so pumped up with all the new information we covered.
My weekend with Annie
The Emerald Lake 2007 knitting retreat was just what I needed. A nice restful break from everyday life and lots of time to knit and chat. I made lots of new friends and saw some old friends too.
Eloise, she is finished
Not only has it been a long time since I’ve written and much has happened, I just lost the rather long-winded post I was working on! The most exciting thing by far that I’ve done recently is attend the Emerald Lake 2007 knitting retreat with Annie Modesitt.
Guess who?
Yes, that’s who you think she is! Stephanie Pearl-McPhee a.k.a. the Yarn Harlot was standing directly in front of me while waiting for her introduction at her talk Saturday evening in Victoria.
Infectious Enthusiasm
Kim Werker oozes enthusiasm about her crochet passion. After listening to her speak to the West Coast Knitters’ Guild about crochet, I wanted to set down my Addi Turbo circs and pick up a hook and start crocheting.
Movement patterns
In preparation for a little presentation to my Guild tomorrow night, I’m going through my swatches and notes for a workshop I teach, Strategies for Knitting with Self-Patterning Sock Yarns. Some of my favourite stitch patterns to use with self-patterning sock yarns are what I call movement stitches.
