Do you need a quick baby gift? Why not make an awesome pair of socks? Kate Atherley's pattern is free on Ravelry. The socks are knit in fingering weight - you probably have some hanging around in your stash.
Top down, plain and simple socks, but sized for quick knitting and extreme cuteness. An excellent emergency baby gift, or just a nice way to use up some leftovers.

Suitable for knitters with experience working in the round, but the pattern is written to be easy enough for a first pair of socks. Written for DPNs, Magic Loop or 2 Circulars – use which you prefer.

I tried to get a brighter picture but it's been one of those days.
The shutters look great. The round top window caused the delay in my decision. I didn't think that shutters would work but they do.
The fence is growing. Hopefully it will be finished tomorrow.

Now it's time to sit and relax. Like I said, it's been one of those days.
-the shutter installers
-there are two spots that the drywall company had to come in and fix
-the cleaning lady was here
-the fence guys
-I spent time on the phone with Bell because the TV wasn't working

I thought that I would get knitting done today but there were too many people in my house asking questions and needing direction.

My shawl is growing. Almost to the half way point. I better show some knitting first because I have pretty pictures later that aren't yarn related.



During my parent's last stay in Myrtle Beach they had to put their dog down. Tui was 16 and it was time. She was failing quickly. My parents without a dog isn't a pretty sight. My dad needs a dog to walk and my mom needs one to sleep with. It keeps her company during the day. So, Beth and I bought them something and surprised them. A Saint Bernard puppy. They are getting a female and her name will be Lucy. This is one of the puppies from their litter. They get to meet their little girl in 4 weeks. We asked the breeder to pick them the most loving dog. She doesn't have to be the prettiest but she needs to be laid back. Kind of a suck. She needs to get along with Roko and Melo. We want a cuddler. I know, we aren't asking for much but they are good at reading their puppies.

Why a Saint Bernard? My mom gave one to my dad as a their wedding gift. Harmony was awesome. I had one that some of you might remember from the store. Barkley was the most amazing dog. We would like Lucy to be a clone of Barkley.

They aren't very excited :) Mom already has Lucy enrolled in puppy school. Every day my dad (who knows nothing about the Internet - he can't even turn on a computer) asks if there are any new puppy pictures on 'the box'.

There is a bit of extreme jealousy today as well. My dad just called me from their Alaskan Cruise. Today they are going through Glacier Bay. It brought back great memories of my cruise. I don't have the pictures but I borrowed a few from the Holland America website.
It was 6:15am their time when he called. When Beth and I were on our cruise we were already on deck by that time. We were so excited. Our trip was before the iPhone but we did have a digital camera. We took hundreds of pictures that day. Seeing the glaciers calve was unbelievable. It's hard to describe.
He was very excited to talk but the connection wasn't great. Yesterday he helicoptered up to a glacier and went dog sledding. Beth and I did that too. He said it was awesome and he wanted to stay. We felt the same way.

Now it's time to knit. I should pass half way tonight and get to the next colour. Should is the important word. There is baseball, hockey and basketball on. I'm going to be busy changing channels.

A Colourful Day

This morning I had to meet more people at my house so Lynn was in the store. She brought in her current sock and the colours are awesome. You won't/shouldn't be able to lose these socks.
The yarn is Opal Sweet & Spicy 3 and the colour is Fruit Jelly. We have a couple balls left (Lynn sold a bunch today) and more balls are on the way.
This collection offers a variety of choices for each and every sweet fanatic. Sweet fruit nougat, sour fruit gums or spicy black cumin, these eight breathtaking colors, there is no way you could miss a flavor.
An order from Freia Fibers left California today. There are four new colours coming in Bulky and Fingering weight.
Hand Painted Super Bulky Gradient Yarn. Super soft single ply. Freia's process creates a strong yarn that is lofty but with very little pilling. This yarn is dreamy! 
100% wool
80m (87 yards)
150 gram ball
8 stitches = 4" on 12mm needles
Freia Ombré Fingering is a gorgeous single ply that is available in wonderful ombre colors. As your project progresses, the color will change. Great for interesting garments and accessories
75% wool/ 25% nylon
75grams
294m
Two new brights, Vamp and Aloha,  and two new muted tones, Canyon and Vintage, join our collection this season.

Our new colors expand on our existing color concepts, with Vamp being our most saturated and passionate Red yet.
Aloha shows off the wonderful colors of the tropics in a myriad of yellows, greens, turquoises and blues.

Canyon goes deep into the beautiful shades of a copper-toned mountain with blue patina, turquoise, true coppers and browns.

Vintage is all about Shabby Chic, with faded rose leading into murky shades of kelp and ending in soft pussy willow.

There wasn't a lot of knitting last night. The games I was watching were all so awful that I turned the TV off and went to bed. There should be some knitting tonight - it's the season finale of Survivor.

A new pattern just came in for Sirdar's Cotton DK.
The wrap is gorgeous!

Bag: 2 balls
Wrap: 4 balls
Blanket: 9 balls
We have created this fabulous cotton double knitting yarn for hand knit and crochet projects – it can be used to create designs for all the family from babies to adults and looks equally gorgeous in projects for the home. The yarn is made using mercerized cotton to create a subtle sheen and incredible stitch definition so it’s the perfect yarn for lace knitting, cables and crochet work. This Cotton DK is a classic double knitting yarn that will knit to all Sirdar’s DK designs and is machine washable. 
There are great colours to choose from...

Yesterday I mentioned a shipment coming from Freia Fibers. This amazing scarf is knit in the bulky - double stranded.

Pattern: You Look Gradient (purchased on Ravelry)
Yarn: 4 balls of Friea Bulky
Needles: 25mm (I better make sure we have lots in stock)
The stripes in the yarn line up almost perfectly. That is the great thing about Freia. All balls of the same lot are dyed exactly the same.
 

I'll be making mine in the colour Vintage.

We watched the finale of Survivor last night. I won't give the ending away but we were shocked.

It's almost bed time but I'm trying to get a few more rows in before I go. Originally I was going to start with the purple for the second half of my shawl. I changed my mind and went denim. This way it will be green/blue around my neck and purple at the end.

The Good News First

A bit of good news then sad news from Sweetgeorgia Yarns.
New Party of Five sets are coming! Our mini-skein gradient sets have been so well-received since we started dyeing them last year, but one thing many knitters have been asking for is some neutral palettes. This is the most requested palette — a five-shade pack of cool greys that we're calling "Graphite".

This is just the first of five new gradient colour sets that we are releasing in 2016
I have all the colours ordered. I'm confident that Felicia at Sweetgeorgia will put together great combinations. The kits will be on display next month in Washington DC when I go to TNNA and I'll get pictures. We're very excited for the show to be moving to a new city. Beth is particularly excited about visiting the Smithsonian. The hardest part is deciding which Smithsonian to visit.

The Party of Five Cashluxe Spark kits have been discontinued. We still have stock but don't delay.
The Reverb Shawl is a free pattern and takes one kit. This is the English Bay colourway.

This is Rusted knit up.

The kit contains 5 mini skeins - each skein is 91m / 100yards.
CashLuxe Spark is just like our beloved CashLuxe Fine yarn with a sprinkling of sparkle! This yarn is 80% superwash merino, 10% cashmere, and 10% sparkling stellina spun up into a 3-ply fingering weight yarn.

We also have a few kits in Golddigger and Honey Fig.
I've knit two shawls with the kits and the yarn is beautiful. I highly recommend it.

My shawl is growing and I should have it knit in time for TNNA. Sewing in the ends is a different story.
My friend is coming home with me so that I have someone to model over the weekend. My plan is to knit all day tomorrow. Monday will be more knitting sandwiched around picking up my parents from the airport. Their cruise ended today and they are staying in Seattle until Monday morning.

Cathy knit this beautiful scarf in 2 balls of Louisa Harding Azalea. Unfortunately they discontinued this colour but there are still some great colours available.
Pattern: Yuma from Louisa Harding's book for Azalea
Needles: 5mm
Louisa Harding Azalea is a cable-plied, 100% cotton yarn that's very smooth, round and incredibly soft.
It's another busy TV evening. Hockey. Basketball. Nascar. Luckily Beth is in charge of the remote so I can knit.

A holiday weekend means lots of knitting. I'm almost finished. Three more sections of this purple and then four sections of a different purple.
Beth cast of her latest scarf before heading to the golf course this morning
Yarn: Zauberball Crazy - 2 balls of 2 different colours
Needles: 3.25mm, 40cm

This scarf is 80 stitches. It is knit in the round so you only have right sides to the scarf. No checking and rechecking to make sure the good side is showing. Knit 2 rows of colour A, then 2 rows of colour B. Continue until out of yarn. Beth is really enjoying her mindless knitting and has another scarf cast on.

My flowers on the front porch are blooming nicely. This week Beth and I are heading to the garden center for planters for the deck. We thought about going this morning but I was afraid that Terra would be jammed.

The bad thing about a long weekend - fireworks. Poor Melo has had a bad few evenings and there will be more tonight. He shakes and shakes. We can't get him settled until after they stop. Hopefully with school tomorrow they won't go too late.

My plan was to write last night but he needed my attention. I sat on the couch and he had his head in my lap. It didn't stop the shaking but it did stop the pacing. He does laps around the house.

Now to get a few more rows knit before it's dark.

This is one of the very few projects that I started and worked on straight until it is finished. I haven't picked up another project. Totally monogamous. :) Yes, my fingers are itching for a different project but I'm so close.

The fence is finished. Now we need to decide on our garden. The artificial grass is on the part of the yard that slopes down towards the field. The dirt part slopes back up. That is going to be a garden. I want some pretty flowers and tall grass. 
Mom and dad had an amazing time on their cruise and enjoyed their two days in Seattle. Sunday afternoon they visited the Chihuly Garden and Glass. Yes, I am jealous. Chihuly's work is amazing. They wandered around for three hours. Here are a few of the pictures that mom took. They highly recommend visiting if you are in Seattle.
I think this would look awesome in our back yard :)
Hockey and baseball are on so it's time to knit. I'm almost there.

Mix a special gradient skein with stripes and lace for the ultimate bohemian shawl experience. Yemaya is a generous asymmetrical triangular wrap with multiple wearing possibilities. While Yemaya is designed to show of a gradient yarn, this shawl will work beautifully teaming a speckle, variegated or semi solid with your two contrasting skeins.
The Yemaya Shawl is the third pattern in the 2016 Chroma Collection.

The Yemaya lace is both charted and written. The lace requires concentration and will suit an intermediate knitter with some lace experience.
Lately I'm drawn to patterns by Ambah O'Brien - she is the designer of my current project - the Lamina Wrap. I get very excited to see one of her new shawls in my "your pattern highlights" section of Ravelry.
Hello from Australia! You’ll pretty much always find me dreaming about my next favourite shawl - the accessory I most love to design, knit and wear. Otherwise I’ll be wandering about my vegetable garden, nearby bush or perhaps a little escape to the beach.

With a background in painting, I have a passion for colour and interesting design.

I design contemporary knitwear patterns, with a nod to retro and geometric design. Patterns that are straight forward to follow and fun to wear.
I sent her a message today asking if I can share her amazing work with you. She replied right away (I love it when that happens). The hard part was picking which shawl to show first.

Pattern: Yemaya Shawl (purchased on Ravelry)

Top Edge: 118” / 300 cm
Bottom Edge: 110” / 280 cm

I just finished the first section of the last colour. I took a lot of pictures but the sun wasn't cooperating. I'm not sure if you can see the differences in the purples here but they are different. It was either too much sun or too much shade in my pictures.
My goal is to finish by Saturday. That will make it three weeks to knit the shawl.

What's next? I'm going to try and finish this shawl for TNNA. Yes, I am dreaming. I don't think there is a chance but I'm going to give it a go.
Pattern: Greyhound Shawl (pattern purchased on Ravelry)
Yarn: Mrs. Crosby Hat Box

We have a new Opal sock yarn. 
Exuberant sock stripings in colors based on paintings by renowned Austrian artist and sculptor Friedenreich Hundertwasser (1928-2000). Hundertwasser rejected the straight line and embraced bold color, organic forms and humans in harmony with nature.

Just before I hit Publish, I threw the shawl on the dining table. This shows the purple better.
Now I need to go - the TV needs my attention. We are watching the Scripps National Spelling Bee.

Here is another great shawl from Ambah. I debated between this one and the one that I am knitting

Pattern: Inara Wrap (pattern purchased on Ravelry)
Let Inara be the blank slate on which you paint your own personality. Select two sets of gradient yarns for a rich ombre, or mix and and match from your stash for a roadmap of your favourite tones. Diagonal columns of alternating lace and garter stitch make a strong statement without being intimidating. Included is a schematic to colour in to play with your colour scheme. Worked end to end, this long wrap can easily be shortened with fewer repeats of the pattern sequence, instructions are given for 3 lengths, with both written and charted instructions included for the lace section.


DIMENSIONS
Length: Short 64”/163cm, (Medium 80”/203cm, Long 96” / 243cm) Width at centre: 18.1” / 46cm

YARN
Fingering Weight / 4-ply
S: Two Gradient sets of 4 x 125 yd / 110m, or 2 x 500 yd / 457 m single colour
M: Two Gradient sets of 5 x 125 yd / 110m or 2 x 625 yd / 572 m single colour
L: Two Gradient sets of 6 x 125 yd/110m or 2 x 750 yd / 686m single colour



Two gradient kits from Frabjous Fibers will make the medium shawl. There is another shipment of kits on the way to us (they made it to Canada Customs so we might see them on Tuesday) including


 


A neutral for one half of the shawl will mix well with any colour.


The possibilities are endless. I've already put together so many interesting combinations.

Right now I am leaning towards mixing a purple kit with a green kit.

Here is a link to the Ravelry page of people who have used the Frabjous Fibers kits...

The shipment from Freia arrived yesterday afternoon. These colours of Bulky are awesome.
One ball of Bulky will make this cowl. You can make easy gifts while sitting in the car on your summer vacation.
One ball of Bulky will also make Jetsetter (pattern purchased on Ravelry)

And don't forget about You Look Gradient.

Big, bulky scarves are going to be hot again this winter.

And there is nothing like knitting a scarf in a few evenings.


If you can't think about Bulky right now, here is a great shawl knit with two balls of Fingering weight.

Pattern: Auburn Wave (purchased on Ravelry)
Needles: 4.5mm (this is important to get a great size shawl)

Auburn Wave is one of my favourite patterns. If you can knit, purl, increase, decrease and count to 20 then you can make this.
 

Can you imagine the scarf knit in Vamp? Tina knocked it out of the park with this new colour.

I gave myself a deadline to finish my shawl and I will have it finished before bed tonight. I haven't knit this evening because Beth and I went to Terra after work. I wanted some back yard flowers.

We bought two planters for the deck and some hanging plants for the fence. Now we know that more plants are needed for the deck so we'll be visiting Terra on Monday evening.

It's time to knit. I'll share pictures tomorrow. A friend came home with me to model.

The puppies turned one month old today. We get to meet them in a couple of weeks.

I finished. I want to say it was done last night but I was so tired I had to go to bed. This morning I knit the last 6 grey rows and cast off. I couldn't deal with the ends today so..
I've been working away on this shawl all afternoon. I think that I might have it finished in time for TNNA. The big problem - there are a lot of ends on this shawl too. :(

Here is another of our favourites from Ambah.
Lilli Pilli is a beautiful Australian plant whose deep magenta berries inspired the colors of this shawl.
Worked tip to tip in three fun colors; two striped together contrasted with a third for the lace sections. Lilli Pilli is fun to knit, and works up big and cozy. There are so many ways to use color in this project ― let your stash out to play!

The pattern includes both written and charted instructions for the lace section.
Pattern: Lilli Pilli (purchased on Ravelry)
The shawl takes three skeins of fingering weight yarn - each 380m long.



Cathy knit Lilli Pilli and her colour combination is gorgeous. She used Mrs. Crosby Train Case in Greystone, Creme Fraiche and Spangled Cotinga.

The shawl is super long and there are many different ways that it can be worn.

A bit of a teaser for you. One of the new gradient kits from SweetGeorgia that should be shipped to us in June. This kit is called Jelly Bean.

Mr. Canada Post brought in two exciting boxes today. The first was from Frabjous Fibers.

This was recently posted on the their Facebook page.
The kits are amazing!!
It's the rainbowload of Mini Skeins, oh yes. Four of our popular Mini Skein Packs are combined into one enormous, beautiful rainbow for a full-spectrum knitting experience! Twenty 1-oz Mini Skeins: combine them all for a large project, or spread them out over several smaller projects. The possibilities are truly endless!
 
Cheshire Cat fingering (100% wool): 128 yards per 1 oz. skein, 2560 yards total

There is also a special kit in the box. We're calling it Beautiful Soup - pot 11. It is one of the kits that I used for my shawl.

Right now we are the only store with this colourway.

The second box was filled with Zauberball Crazy. Now we have even more colours for Beth's scarf.




Saturday June 11 is Heritage Days in Ancaster. In previous years, Wilson Street was closed for the parade and then the road reopened by 11am. This year Wilson St. will be closed until 3pm. Cathy will be in the store (I'm going to be in Washington). There could be two options for getting to the store. Turn onto Academy or Lodor from Rousseaux St. Park on one of the back streets and come up Lorne Ave. This will bring you to the variety store beside us. The other option is to ask the police officer at Wilson and Rousseaux if they will let you down. I can't guarantee either.

Beth and I talked about closing the store for the day but it isn't easy to get the word out. And the road could open early and I'm worried about nothing. Or the police officer is a knitter and is happy to let you through.

It's time for some knitting. We are watching The Good Wife and are a few episodes from finishing the second season. Things are getting good.

Blue Nude

We received a box of very pretty yarn from Zen Yarn Garden this morning. Blue Nude is here.
The twenty fourth offering in our ART WALK Series features a painting by Pablo Picasso entitled "Blue Nude". From one medium to the next, artists express their use of colour. Inspired by our chosen art piece, our dyer has successfully captured the excitement and complexity of the painting.

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), a twentieth century Grand Master who co-founded Cubism, was only 20 years old when his friend’s tragic death resulted in the subdued “Blue Nude. His “Blue Period” artworks, rendered in somber blues and greens, were part of an astounding 20,000 paintings, prints, drawings and sculptures he produced in his lifetime. Hauntingly beautiful and exquisitely composed, “Blue Nude” is one of Picasso’s best-selling pieces, and a testament to his ability to express complex emotions with one simple shade. [quoted from Art.com]
We have the colour in Serenity Glitter Sock and Serenity Silk Single.

I've knit a few things in Serenity Silk Single and highly recommend the yarn
Pattern: Ley Lines (purchased on Ravelry) knit with three skeins
 

Pattern: Auburn Wave (purchased on Ravelry) knit with two skeins
Pattern: Windward (purchased on Ravelry) knit with two skeins

Not only is the yarn a favourite of mine, these patterns are favourites as well. Normally I don't repeat a pattern but I have made all three of these more than once (and would make them again).

The sidewalk in front of our house were poured today. That means we can start planning the driveway.

Now it's knitting time.

We are going to start another KAL in a few weeks. For this KAL you get to choose the pattern you want to make from Ambah O'Brien's collection. Ambah and I are working out a few things so please wait a few days to purchase any patterns. And there will be prizes!

This awesome shawl is called Mookari (pattern purchased on Ravelry) and could be my choice for the KAL.

These are Fiona Ellis'Sparrow Lake Mittens. Fiona will be one of our instructors this year at Camp and will be teaching a class on Saturday afternoon where you can design your own mittens.

Thumbs Up for Mittens
In the 1st part of this workshop we will look at mitten construction; including ways that the thumb gusset & the top of the mitten can be worked. Fiona will review a variety of increases and decreases – knowledge that you will be able to apply to other types of projects. But that’s only the beginning….

In the 2nd part of the class you will use the swatch worked in “Creating Cables” (or another pattern swatch you may like to bring) as a springboard to devise creative ways of incorporating the patterning into a mitten of your own design.

This workshop is geared towards knitters who have a little experience right up to those who are very adventurous

I think we are ready to announce our KAL. We are going to start now and ask that you finish by August 31. That should give you lots of time.

Please pick one of Ambah O'Brien's patterns. Good luck because there are so many great ones to choose from. Ambah is offering a discount on a pattern until June 15 for those participating in the KAL
I have set up a promotion code for the Kal, its activated now and will run through June 15th. The discount is for 20% off all patterns and eBooks in my Ravelry store except the Chroma Collection - this will remain full price.

The code is summerkal
And to make your decision harder, there is a new pattern being released on Thursday. I didn't think I could share pictures yet but Ambah has some up on Ravelry already. It is called the Annisa Wrap and you can see more pictures on Ambah's page.


Fun to knit and wonderful to wear, Annisa is an assymetrical wrap that will let your creative side out to play. Team a solid with a gradient, speckles or bright yarn for playful stripes, add a bold or subtle pop for the eyelets and let Annisa be a perfect reflection of your colour passions.

Please post pictures (as you are working along and when you are finished) in our Ravelry group. On September 1 we will draw for prizes. Your project needs to be finished to qualify. Blocking isn't required if you are tight on time.

Ambah is donating 2 copies of her Chroma Collection 2016 ebook. Because this is a Ravelry download anyone from anywhere can join us for the KAL. We don't need to ship anything.

Here is a bit more inspiration for you. Diana brought in her Mookari for me to display. It is knit with one Party of Five kit from Sweet Georgia along with a skein of tosh sock.

Mom, dad and Beth made the trek to Chatham today to meet Lucy. I stayed home with Roko and Melo. It wouldn't have been good for me to go. We could have ended up with another puppy. Beth was the voice of reason. Not a very loud voice but from what I understand there will be only one puppy coming home in three weeks.

She sent me some pictures during the visit.
This is Lucy's mom, Fabel

Meet Lucy. Beth said that she cuddled right in with both mom and dad.
They give each puppy a different coloured collar so that they can identify them as they grow. Lucy is the purple collared puppy. Very fitting.

A bit of knitting since it's a blog about yarn :) My shawl is growing. I can end it whenever I choose but I have lots of fuchsia so I'm continuing for a bit more. I need to cast off on Tuesday so the ends can be sewn in on Wednesday and Thursday.

My Lamina will not be coming to Washington. The weather is going to be way too hot to wear it. I'm pretty sure I can find a lighter shawl in my closet or hanging in the store.

Now back to the basketball. As a Golden State fan I'm loving it!!
