Well, drove three hours to get to the Knitter’s Jamboree in Mississauga …. all the machine knitting vendors (and more) in one place for a day. When your sewing machine breaks down or you need some bits you head to your local sewing machine seller. With knitting machines it’s usually time spent on the internet…
On our way home from vacation we hit Williamsburg and I found a knitting store. We managed to get to Knitting Sisters before they closed for the day. It is a wonderful store and they had just finished a workshop and the store was full of mad knitters with one husband sitting quietly in their…
This little knitted purse is an exercise in bead knitting which was fun to do while away on vacation. Working on something that involves close pattern following and counting beads somewhat like on an abacus took my ever thinking/designing/business organizing mind off into a quiet place with a pretty result at the end.

I can’t believe I ate the whole thing…. well, that’s a bit of what I feel now that the first craft show of the year is over. One of the most fun parts was the Mango martinis and sushi we designers were offered after the opening night fashion show. Here’s a pic of three of…
Oh what fun we had tonight! First day of the OOAK show and found out one of my peices submitted for the opening night fasion show has been chosen and they want to introduce the attached artist! The show is being hosted by Jeanie Becker and she did a great job of talking up Canadian…
