DH & I had great fun pretending to be film makers..........I was doing the directing, with him behind the camera.......



I used to have tips and techniques on my web page (sequential photos) and I'm going to rework this information into videos - stay tuned.....if you need me, I'll be in the editing room!

Happy Knitting,

    Great video, Anne. I think cutting steeks is about the scariest thing, but it works!!!!! I notice you are cutting left handed. Do you knit left handed as well? I'm left handed but taught myself to knit following the examples exactly as written in books---therefore, I knit right handed. I'm going to have to learn to knit left handed to teach my granddaughter who is going to be totally a leftie (she's 3 now). She loves to sit next to me and watch me knit, so I think she might have an interest later on.

    Great job to both of you! It still scares me to watch others cut steeks. Don't know why, I should be over it by now. :)

    Dear Anne:

    The puppies look exactly alike. Adorable and famous. My pup, Gader, is so homely and gangly looking. He is strange... Trade you?

    Love the posts on the cardi. I love the colors.

Rolling Thunder Gauntlets Fluency Gloves Dryad, by Sivia Harding for Twist Collective, Winter 2009 a personal favourite right now :) Lumen, by Sivia Harding for Brooklyn Tweed's Wool People 4! Bead Whimsey with Sivia Harding That was the name of the class that I took at the Toronto Knitters Frolic.  I have attended many workshops in my time, so it takes a special workshop to catch my attention. Do you know her? I have to admit, I wasn't aware of Sivia's work until it was announced that she was the special guest for the Frolic. When I did some research on line, I was intrigued by her beaded knits and signed up right away! "Bead Whimsey" did not disappoint! Sivia brought so many examples of her beaded knits. We talked about the different beads available out in the bead wor

Happy New Year!  I really fell out of communication here and on youtube with my 2022 Advent Knit challenge, didn’t I? Well, here are the 3 videos that detail what I had planned, how I progressed and while I didn’t finish as per the schedule I’d set myself….it is finished and I’m happy! This first video details the plan…..and also has updates on my sock knitting. This video was my week 1 update….and then, well, things all got complicated and I disappeared until well, right now! February 17, 2023! Yes, I’ve finished the gorgeousWonderland Shawl by Chloe Thurlow! It’s such an effective design - easy intarsia blocks broken up with a horizontal line…..and finished off with vertical crochet or embroidered lines for that tartan look!
