The seasons are preparing for a change. How do you celebrate the change? Are you pulling out your favourite knits and making sure that they are clean and ready to wear when you are ready to wear them....

Bonus Block – a Year of Colour

August Blooms I am really missing my garden. And it is not that I am a serious gardener. I just plant and pray that things will grow. But I am a serious lover of gardens and enjoy them wholeheartedly. It took thirty years to develop the back yard in the old house and the last year of waiting for and then renovating the new place has not allowed time for really thinking about my outdoor space....

Making Feeds Making

Making Moments and Fall Class Projects Do you label yourself? What is your view of yourself? Is it defined by your work, your hobby, your family? How do you view the way you interact with the world?

August Fancy: From A Year in Colour

The Collar that Chose Itself This month's Fancy is getting its own blog post. I think it deserves one. It is a little "more" than an average fancy.

Knit Your Way Through August: The Blanket Project

Busy Times It's August already - the last full month of Summer. Before long September will arrive, bringing with it a whole new rhythm of busy days. Sometimes I wonder... can life really get any busier? I don't know about you, but I already feel busy enough. It has been a wonderful month. I spent some quality time with Beth and we went walking at Neck Point Park....

Crafting Exquisite Beaded Knits: Tips and Inspiration

I love working with beads in my knitting. I try to add them to lace knitting at every opportunity. These are a few of my favourite pieces. They each have a story. Some, like the beaded lace hat, Galadriel's Gift, I have knit multiple times. The painted circular shawl is the Garden Gate Shawl, showing my favourite pictures of one of my painted pieces....
