CSPC 2025 - Its my first of science policy conference. I am learning so much. #cspc2025

Cast on this Live by the Leaf toque (aka beanie). Its my second Christmas project. I am using Estelle worsted & Berrocco Vintage DK (held double).

The other project is a pair of socks (Njord pattern by @knitsiphappy.bsky.social )

There's also a niddy noddy, free micro minis and a sock set from @thecozyknitter.

KW Knitters Fair haul -

2 x @pineandpurl.bsky.social project bags & stitch stoppers

2 skeins MCS in this gorgeous dark teal from @jelaineyarns.bsky.social

2 skeins Mohair silk in Morning glory & Knit Sip Knit cup from. @leo.and.roxy.co

3 minis for the Gnettle gnome + 1 mini from @feistyfibres

I went to Knit City Montreal and got a few projects worth of yarn….its a years worth if I grow a few extra arms. lol!

That’s awesome. I am glad you are enjoying it.

Finished up my Let’s Stay home socks yesterday. They still need to be blocked but I think they look pretty good. And the bamboo merino yarn from @yarnindulgences.bsky.social is something I will definitely use again.

Let’s Stay Home socks progress shot. I am just starting the heel. I am opting to do the heels in the MC, and the toes will be in the CC that’s on the cuffs.

Congrats to Team Canada 🇨🇦 in the 4 Nations tournament! I appreciated celebrating that on my bday.

Thank you. It’s my first time using this type of yarn and I am liking it. Btw I bought this yarn at Knit City Toronto last year from the Yarn Indulgences booth. 😊

This week’s cast on: The Let’s stay home socks by Nancy Wheeler @knitsiphappy.bsky.social (yarn: Yarn Indulgences bamboo sock ).

I cast on sock 2 yesterday and will knit these concurrently going forward.

These fire pit mitts are off the needles & being used by my son. It’s my second time making this pattern and I made the small this time. And I discovered this size fits me best. So I will definitely make this pattern again. :)

Current project: Fire pit mitts by Taylor Earl for my youngest son who’s a gamer and digital artist. His room in this old house is draughty.

Yarn: knitting for Olive mohair in Blue tit, Stony Lake Yarns in a dark teal & Kremke Soul wool baby silk fluffy.

Happy New Year! 🥳🎉 / Bonne année 🎉🥳

My advent socks are complete and they are toasty.

The pattern is on Ravelry and is called the Vanilla Latte socks. And the yarn is by a Canadian dyer named The Cozy Knitter.

Merry Christmas to all / Joyeux Noël à tous! 🎄🎅🏼

My 24-stripe advent sock are at the gusset decreases. The pattern is the vanilla latte sock with eye of partridge heels. #cozyknitteryarn

Makes sense. I am wrapping up some more complex projects and will definitely work on something mindless afterwards.

That pullover is beautiful. Will you use the pullover chart on the mittens?

Progress shot on my 2023 Arne & Carlos stocking I am gifting to my nephew. It was paused mid-heart section until I restarted it last month. Yarn - Acrylic/ Super Saver.

These are for my dream knitting list. They are the Sydanmaa mittens (see Ravelry.com) and It’s a free pattern!!

Is anyone doing The Cozy Knitter advent socks? #knitting

This is neat. I hadn’t heard of this GAL, thanks for sharing.

Knitting break this morning is care of Z. And he’s making muffins & purring like mad. 😻

Preparing for my Dec 1 Advent cast on with friends. CC colour is wound, needles and project bag selected & stocked. Our sock kit was purchased from The Cozy Knitter. Eeek I am excited.

Will I be able to wait to unwrap & wind my pkg???

Champagne tabby laying on cream knitting project back and trapping yarn under his paws.

This cutie has decided its break time. Apparently he approves of the alpaca yarn. 😊

Body doubling for my son so that he can finish his assignment at uni residence.

Reward = his assignment is done, mother-son time and we get to watch the fight. #adhdmom #bodydoublinghelps
