Daisy and Lackie
join me in wishing you and yours
a very Merry Christmas
(or Holiday of your preference)
and a
Happy, Healthy and Prosperous
New Year !

This year has been a whirlwind for me in many ways.  Hubby and I have had a great year of retirement with good health, great friends and wonderful opportunities.

I've been blogging for many years....it all started April 2006.  I've written 754 posts, this will be 755!  That's over 100 posts a year!

All this time I have been knitting away......when I was "She Ewe Knits", then as a civilian knitter, and now as a "Rowan Ambassador".

Somehow I have neglected to blog on a whole lot of good stuff this year.....so.....forgive me if I adopt a new format here.....I am going to try to post more often....possibly just a photo or two......and it might not be current.....but it will be something that I was intrigued by enough to take a photo of.....so it's going to be a a bit of a mish-mash.....but I hope you enjoy it!

Cheers!

Anne

Daisy and Lackie are wearing their Christmas scarves!  Both knit with +RowanYarns  - Daisy's is in Kidsilk Haze, while Lackie's is in a vintage Scottish Tweed.  Using a 4.5mm needle, cast on 20 stitches and knit in stocking stitch until it's long enough to go round your doggie's neck!  Not too tight now!

Rainshadow Hanging Garden Stole sample beaded bracelets for the workshop! examples of how colour and beads work together! 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!
