I needed a portable project to take to Hana’s skating class yesterday …
My sock yarn collection is growing (like you couldn’t have guessed that) and I’ve been wanting to try out Colinette’s Jitterbug.

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.
Eye heart ewe
Just because he loves me, my little fibre-conscious boy gave me a love note.
I received another lovely gift recently. Nigel knit a pair of socks for me in some lovely soft merino dyed by Sweet Georgia before she went on her hiatus.
Happy Birthday to me!
Today is my birthday and my husband has given me a weekend with Sally Melville at the end of January! How perfect is that? I’m confirmed in all the workshops, even the one for which I was on the wait list.
Gloves, Gloves
I’ve been knitting extra pairs of the Guess Who? gloves for a couple of friends of mine who are oh so deserving. Mechelle has been a great help with photographing my designs.
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.
Testing
Testing, testing, 1,2,3! The site has been moved to a new host and I’ve switched from holliyeoh.ca to holliyeoh.com. I keep going back and forth on which is prefereable. Certainly the .com is the most widely used website extention.
That Knitable Thing
In the words of a child. As we were rushing out the door one morning a few weeks ago Hana said, “Hey, I like what you’re wearing … that knitable thing.” Don’t you just love it?!
Black Yarn
My eyes are going. I’ve been in denial about this for a while now. I couldn’t really understand before when my mum would said that she could only knit with dark coloured yarn during the day with good strong light over her shoulder.
On-the-road knitting
While on our road trip I had lots of time for knitting. Although prone to motion sickness, I did discover that I can easily work in stocking stitch as long as I don’t need to look down much.
