With single use plastic quickly becoming a thing of the past, we have to come up with reusable alternatives. This week I would like to share my idea for a reusable produce bag. https://youtu.be/PUUikzbSRxg View on YouTube This pattern was challenging to come up with, because I wanted to try two things I had not...

I have been having so much fun with my 1-on-1 lessons! Up until now I had been teaching lessons face to face and had been missing it due to Covid 19. Thanks to Zoom, I can now teach people how to knit and crochet all over the world! One of my favourite unexpected findings is... Continue Reading →
Hello! Today I have for you an Easter or Spring inspired reversible plushy. It has a rabbit on one side and a duck on the other. It was knit using an Addi King knitting machine, however you can hand knit it using size 6.0 mm circular needles. The features of the animals are both crocheted... Continue Reading →

This weekend I knit some mittens for my little cousin. She wanted pink or purple so I got a ball of wool that had both, and some blue as well. I used Red Heart Super Saver in grape fizz. The free pattern I followed is at psso.blogspot.ca. The only thing I did differently from the... Continue Reading →
This past week I made a hat for my cousin. She asked me to make it for her, but she wanted it bigger than the one in the picture. So I added extra stitches in the beginning and made it longer that the pattern suggests. The link to the original free pattern is at Yarnspirations.... Continue Reading →
