Most intense show of the year: complete Living-room: furniture creatively rearranged to accomodate tree. Christmas tree: up and kid-safe decorations clumped lovingly amid the branches (breakables yet to come - that's my job.) Advent calendar pressies: purchased, wrapped, stuffed in the appropriate …

Knitting on Impulse
What would happen if....? Exploring fibre and textile arts, designing knitwear, crocheting silver, "seeing" through my camera, and generally following the muse wherever it takes me in beautiful Whistler, BC, Canada.

Unexpected Knitting Adventure
http://chappysmom.com/2008/11/22/unexpected-knitting-adventu...These were made out of Meillenweit and the colors are great, even if it was kind of “splitty” yarn to knit with. I just need to weave that last end in, and they’re ready to wear. Also finished? The fingerless mitts I tested for Ruth. Remember last week, when I said I had run out of yarn an inch from the end of the second? Well, I went back to the first one, ripped out the ribbing, and then finished the leaf-section of the second one with the blue, and then added the coordinating

Knitting on Impulseon the west coast of Canada has been focused on the beauty of knit and purl stitches from the confines of her couch. Ysolda in Edinburgh with their sniffles has been doing garter stitch with soothingly red yarn in the midst of a cold, rainy Scottish

http://zeneedle.typepad.comYou may remember the Georgia O'Keefe flower in Friday's post and my wish for a yarn in that colorway. Well, as fate would have it, awhile ago I was enticed to by a beautiful pink yarn (I know you're surprised) from Ruth. The colors are a perfect match to the picture, a perfect match! How lucky is that? I think I have an idea what it will grow up to be and I know we'll live happily ever after, too. Ruth has a new online shop
