So, no one rescued me from myself. But I am not disappointed! No, not I!

I have jumped right in and tried my new toys, and they work beautifully. Smooth joins, light in the hand, and the swivel cords are so smooth!

This last spring, I ordered this bag of glorious pink #Beatrix from @junipermoonfarm I wanted to knit myself a happy, warm winter sweater. Apparently, I was also channeling my inner Barbie. 🤣😂

I swatched up my sweater idea with the new needles, and I am ready to go!

Next up is our intro to Tunisian crochet. Never hear of it? It’s a wonderful mix of crochet and weaving or knitting and crocheting. It make a thick squishy fabric.

Well, Ray (@rgentleman) has finished his “Landscape Shawl”, by @martin_up_north. It’s a Tunisian crochet, entrelac piece. He decided to use Heritage by @briggslittle which had given him a lovely huge shawal/blanket. We love all the fabulous colour gradients and the rich colours. The design incorporates elements from the BC flag at the bottom and a local scene looking from Vancouver Island back to the mainland, topped off with a Canadian flag motif.

We’ve decided to take a more inclusive approach

We’ve decided to take a more inclusive approach to Saturday and would love to include our knitters, crocheters, weavers, felters, hookers, spinners, stitchers and gosh-darn-it any other fibre related art to join us in the courtyard outside the store on Saturday.

Everyone is invited, all skills levels welcome. It’s all about building community and having fun. There are also great opportunities to learn new skills, tips and tricks and even maybe find out about a new craft that you have always wanted to try.

Bring your own chair and supplies. It’s supposed to be sunny and warm so dress for the weather.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone. Drop in for a little or stay for a while.
