Photos from the crawl

Friday, 16 November 2012

So none of these are photos of my knitted things, but they are of stuff that happened at the crawl! 

This was a knuckle game where people wrote on one hand each and all sorts of funny stuff came up. 
Photos!





Don't mess with these punks.

The Crawl is here!




Hi folks, remember when I said I was going to post every day up until the Culture Crawl started... well that didn't happen. I'm still going to be selling my knitwear and patterns and some buttons there though! Come check me out at the Mergatroid building Suite 260!

Culture Crawl Prep!!!

Saturday, 10 November 2012

Holy smokes my brain has been exploding. I'm spending so much time knitting and prepping for this lovely event! 


Here's some photos of one of the many pieces I'll be selling.

This is the Lonely Tree shawl knit out of Galway Chunky yarn. I used three balls and you can see the project page here if you are interested in following my directions. 

I'll be selling this for $175, but if you want it, just mention this post and I'll give it to you for $20 off!

More photos of the stuff I'm selling to come! 




I did a different edging than the published pattern. No picot bumps! 

Vanity. Srsly.

I hit 3,000!

Tuesday, 16 October 2012
3,000 favourites on my lonely tree shawl! Yay! Yay! Yay! That's the most faves I've had on anything ever. Like not even just knitting, I don't think 3,000 people have liked anything that I've done. This is the most acceptance I've ever gotten! Yay!

Day 1 at Knit City!

Saturday, 13 October 2012

So, so, so much happened today. It's so lovely to be around such amazing fibre and such amazing people! Today was really a lovely day. 

Some highlights:

Seeing the original Georgia from Jane Richmond and having Jane Richmond sign my copy of her new book!



Meeting Liz Abinate and getting to touch the original Travelling woman shawl! 



Also, I had all my Baaad Anna's ladies wearing Lonely Tree Shawls! Even tiny Josh got one of my tiny versions of the Lonely Tree! Thanks to Ginny for taking the photo :) 


I had a good time! See you tomorrow!

A quick blog post after Knit City's Kick Off Party.

Friday, 12 October 2012
Tonight was rad. There was a lot of stuff happening, here's just a wee bit! 


On the bill tonight were two really amazing speakers, Kim Werker and Sylvia Olson. 

They were both vibrant and fascinating and lovely! 



Kim Werker got me wanting to try out crocheting! No srsly I do now. 



knitting happening on break!


Sylvia Olson talked about the History of Cowichan sweaters. Which is endlessly fascinating! 

I had a great night! And maybe a few drinks :) 

Hopefully I will see you all tomorrow at Knit City!

Knit city is here!

Hey folks, Knit City is finally upon us! I want to encourage all of you to come introduce yourselves to me if you see me :) I'm horrible with names and even worse with faces but I still want to meet you! I will be at the Baaad Anna's table from 2:30 til close Saturday and from 3:30 til close on Sunday. I'm the plump six foot tall one with a septum piercing... not to be mistaken with the slender six foot tall woman with a septum piercing who is Caitlin. She will be at the We Will Tell You All Of Our Secrets booth right next to the Baaad Anna's one. 

I am so thrilled to be able to be part of such an amazing knit event. The gals at Knit Social have really made my knit-life better and so so vibrant! Thank you two muchly!

See you all there!

The Lonely Tree finally fell from #1







S'all good. It was up there for a record 12 days on the front page of "hot right now" 

And I just checked... it's only dropped to page 3. It's nearing 4,000 favourites too! 

Totally magic!

Sometimes I have really cool ideas.

Tuesday, 9 October 2012
I'm just figuring out how to make this look a bit better - but I made a lacy swatch and then bought some canvases and then I used the swatch as a spray paint stencil! Here's a sneak peek at the results... 



It was late and dark when I took this picture. Quality is kinda awful.

I'm going to be selling this stuff at The Culture Crawl in November at The Purple Thistle Centre, and also at Crafts For A Cause on December 1st at Rhizome Cafe. I will be working a bit more heavily on this kind of art after Knit City! Which is THIS WEEKEND. Ohmygod.
