Don't Know How to Knit

Today's video is about people who tell me they don't know how to knit or tried it but can't.  In my roundabout way I just want you to go out, buy yarn and needles and just start knitting.  You can learn from videos on YouTube, using books or attending a class in a yarn shop.

Hope you enjoy the video.

I would love to hear about the yarn you bought and the knitting you have done.  So, please leave a comment below or come on my Facebook page and post a pic of what you've done so far.

Like I said, if you have any questions, ask them!  It will be my pleasure to answer them.

Berroco Comfort Yarn has arrived!

The Berroco Comfort yarn I ordered from Herrschners has arrived.  I wanted to knit this yarn into wonderful hats but seeing it I'm not so sure, it's just gorgeous and soft.  I will probably have fun with it trying different stitch patterns and come up with something gorgeous for sure.  Working with a wonderful yarn helps a lot.

La Bobineuse de Laine cones of yarn

Last week I went to La Bobineuse de Laine where I spent 2 hours just loving the fibers they have there.  Of course I did leave with some yarn, well lots of yarn to be honest.  The first 2 pics are cones of yarn I created with the help of the wonderful lady, I must ask her name the next time I go.  I will have so much fun knitting with this yarn; most of it is cotton to knit wonderful summer creations.  I have already started a gorgeous lace scarf.

Sold my first and second scarf

Yesterday I sold my first scarf on Etsy. This one :


I even have a custom order to knit it in red. Just ordered the yarn for it from elann and hoping it gets here fast enough to knit before I leave on vacation.

50th anniversary of Crescent Street

This weekend Crescent Street has been celebrating it's 50th anniversary and last night Michel Pagliaro, Honeymoon Suite and Glass Tiger were giving a free concert. It was amazing! It reminded me of my clubbing years when I used to go on Crescent and they were the music we heard in clubs. The atmosphere was so much fun, I wish I had brought my camera to take pictures.


Here's Lola helping me with some of the dishcloths I'm knitting for my Etsy shop and just below is the final result. Dishcloths are so easy and quick to knit. I'm also thinking of knitting yoga mat bags with some of the Handicrafter yarn.

Handicrafter yarn on sale

Last night I went shopping for 8mm needles and came back with lots of Handicrafter cotton yarn as well. They were $2.00 off a ball.


I will be knitting quite a lot of dishcloths especially the blue, white and yellow for myself. They are the perfect colour for my kitchen.

Raglan sleeve shrug

I have just finished knitting a raglan sleeve shrug and it is now for sale in my Etsy shop.It was a fast and easy knit project that I liked knitting. I used size 6.5mm needles and a wonderful acrylic yarn. It was just stockinette stitch with some yarn overs to create the raglan styling. It was only the second time I knitted a sweater from the neck down, the first time it ended up way too small. I will probably give it my niece's daughter.

While I knit Lola loves to sleep either on my lap or on the desk and she looked so cute here. Luckily I was still able to get to my yarn.
