Hey everyone,

Due to my recent disgust with Google Maps, I am leaving my Gmail business email. It is hard to untangle from the grips of Google, (as well my business dependence on Meta products and their reach 🥴) but I have moved all my correspondence to the Canadian server Typewire going forward.

You can still message me through my Shopify store, or email me at either [email protected]
or [email protected].

Thank you for your attention to this matter 😉

Elbows Up! 💪🇨🇦

Special thanks to Karen The Itty Bitty Yarn Co.for spearheading the crawl. It was a fantastic success!

The participating shop owners were finally able to hold our wrap up meeting this afternoon.
Along with your comments and suggestions, we have the framework of a plan for next years' Crawl.
Most importantly, we did the random draw, to determine the winners.
If you were one of the lucky 7, one of our shop owners will be contacting you, via the phone number and/or email address provided on your passport, to coordinate getting your prize in your hands.
On behalf of the independant yarn shop owners, we thank you all for participating in this event, and we can't wait to see you again.

I made a last minute change to my CC for by DreaReneeKnits

I’m using Purple Martin for the MC and went with Lilac-breasted Roller for the great striped shoulder/colourwork. I’m having fun working on it!!

I’m in love with this sweater by Andrea Mowry. I won’t be attending Rhinebeck, but I really love it and I think there are so many cool, new-to-me techniques as well.

I’m going to use Purple Martin as the MC.

Which CC do you like best? I’m leaning towards Galah as I think it’ll offer the best contrast.

I now have Canadian 🇨🇦 made Kollage square needles in 40” fixed circulars and an assortment of 6” square dpns. These square needles help to relieve hand stress but best of all, while being made in Brockville, ON they support Career Services who help 1000s of people with disabilities find employment! A win-win-win!!! 🇨🇦
