Tiny sweater

I just saw this video about the making of this tiny little sweater and it left me awe-struck! For starters, I love that movie!

Then I got to thinking... 

What if I made a giant sweater to match? My knitting needles could be as big as telephone poles and whole herds of sheep would be shorn to make my wool. It would take me hours to do even a single stitch and I would require heavy equipment operators to cast on and bind off. 

I don't think my sweater would be nearly as cute, but my sense of accomplishment would be fantastic!

Thrumming!

There's something about the chill in the air here in Atlantic Canada that has me thinking a lot about mittens. I guess it's thrumming time once again! 

Need help with thrums?

I've put together a short instructional video. Happy thrumming!

Falling Behind

It's November!! Fall is my favourite season (a close second to summer). I just love that crisp smell in the air that comes along with the season's sweater weather.


So what's the problem? I'm way behind on my Christmas knitting!!! I had high hopes this year of giving a lot of "hand knit with love" gifts to cherished friends and family, and with all the busyness of buying and fixing up a house and starting a new job and the subsequent training and studying that goes along with it, I just fell behind. So now I have to prioritize because there's just no way to get it all done in time since at this point, I'm knitting at a rate of about one sock a week, and I'm fortunate enough to have more than three loved ones :)


So cross your fingers and toes for me! I'll be knitting mitts and socks and baby toys like mad for the next month and a half!!
