I have to admit that until I read the newspaper today I had never heard of Jason Polan. He had a blog called Every Person in New York. He had a big goal: to draw everyone in New York. I would think you could call him a People Watcher. I often see people doing strange things as they go about…
It's back in stock. I like this one because it makes me think of Spring. It takes a long time to get leaves back where I live. The Spring feeling comes long before the leaves, flowers and warmer weather! Rib Knit and long enough to wear in a loop. https://www.etsy.com/listing/50689119…
This is my newest completed scarf. It's a soft rib knit acrylic. It can be bought here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/771989465/cream-hand-knit-scarf-mens-scarf-womens?ref=shop_home_feat_3&pro=1 This week I'm having a sale! The scarf I'm working on now is lime green. Ha…
I've been doing a lot of knitting and some new stuff. These are two of my new scarves made from several different colours of yarn. When I send out scarves they always have a tag attached. I realized I needed some more penguins, which are hand stamped and then painted with ink. This…
I'm making some changes to my blog, so some of the links may be a bit wiggly till I fix all the connections. Then I shall introduce my new scarves. Eventually I will sell some of my scarves here as well as in my Etsy shop. Meanwhile it snowed on me. What? No! Yes. Hint: This is not w…
I've added some knitting patterns for sale. I also sell patterns on Etsy if you prefer that site. I like my patterns to be straightforward and adaptable. I think if a pattern is only really achievable in one particular yarn it isn't very useful. It should be something that once you …
I just finished a golden yellow scarf and I am quite pleased with how it turned out. The knitting always seems to take longer than I remember. I think it would be a nice color for when the season changes. I'm expecting hot weather, so I might start winning on the slug front. The sun…
This July has had a lot of rain, so I am fighting with slugs that intend to eat all my sunflowers, plus my sunflowers are behind because they haven't had as much sun as last year. (the garden is pesticide free, and I don't actually like to kill slugs because everything has its place, but th…
I have had customers ask me how long a knitted scarf should be when they are buying one for someone. It's also a valid question if you're making a scarf for yourself or for someone else. Usually the minimum length for a knitted scarf is 60 inches or 5 feet long. 6 feet/72 inches is me…
It is so nice to have flowers and leaves again. Winter here lasts what feels like forever. These are ruffle pansies. The secret to flowering pansies is to cut off the dead flowers to keep them flowering. These came as a flat of pansies and then were planted in a tub, which can be placed anywhe…
I didn't blog for a bit because I had snow twice, and my neighbour was building a snowman in May, which is never a good sign! So after a warm week it's raining. And I've spent the week taking photos of spring flowers. My favourite anemones are the red ones (it's more com…
