Four skeins of yarn -- two dark olive, one purple, and one teal-blue -- sit atop a chair. A Canadian flag is draped over the chair back, the bottom third in shot.

I took advantage of a recent @woolandwavesyarnstore sale to up the Canadian content of my stash. So I chose 100% Canadian wool, processed and dyed by @customwoolenmills in Alberta.

My Cable Up hat is finished, and kindly modelled by my pal Gertrude. I made this a snug toque, but am already planning a second, slouchier one.

My most recent FO: fraternal stripey socks made from #TheCozyKnitter 2024 Advent yarn. Started on the first day of Christmas, bound off on the Ninth, as the Canada Post strike delayed delivery.
