Well, I did it. The Grey Ghost (better known as the Neck-Down Wrap Cardigan) is finally done. I wove in the last of the ends on the train home from knit night last week, and this sweater is a beaut. It hugs in all the right places and camouflages any sins (hello, muffin top caused [...]
Confession: Right now the last thing I feel like doing is crafting. (I feel like I should whisper that, but hey – times of crafty un-spiration happen to craft editors, too! It’s just a fact of life.) Maybe it’s that the sweater I’m knitting looks (and feels) like nothing more than a pile of beige [...]
This morning’s commute was a total bear. Two hours in bumper-to-bumper traffic is just not how I like to start the day. Photo, Helen K, Flickr The dark cloud over my head only blackened when I found my desk in the same state of disarray in which I left it last night. Remember the fairy [...]
In my travels around the internet the other day, I came across one of the coolest craft ideas I’ve seen in a while. Wendy Tsao in Vancouver runs Child’s Own Studio, a custom shop that creates soft toys from children’s drawings. Parents send in a drawing like this (notice that “Mom” is the name emblazoned on [...]
My intrepid husband and I are half-finished laying down new Pergo in our living room. Yay, right? Ugh. We hate it. And so does Artie – it’s so slippery under his old paws. Plus, he hates all kinds of renovations. Or change of any kind. Don’t get me wrong – Pergo is lovely stuff. And [...]
We had a rainy weekend in Toronto, but it seems as though the rain was exactly what the world needed. Suddenly everything seems to be in bloom. It’s beautiful! When I got home from my walk last night I looked at these crewel wools and thought that they are just about the perfect colours for [...]
I was so excited when Austen asked me to join the Classic Raglan KAL last week. But one thought kept nagging me as I pondered what colour and what type of yarn to pick for my new sweater. What about my Old Port? This poor old girl was consigned to the Island of Misfit Knits about [...]
February is just the right time for a huge pot of tea and, oh, about a million episodes of your favourite TV show, isn’t it? (Nerd alert: I’m working through the seventh of nine seasons of “The X-Files.”) I drink a lot of tea, often when I’m knitting. So for Christmas, I asked for and [...]
I go back and forth on Valentine’s Day. Sometimes it gets me down, but other times I’m just happy to have an excuse to inject a bit of colour and fun into the dreariest part of the year. It’s been grey and soggy here all week, so to cheer myself up I’ve been eating Hershey’s [...]
