If your friend drives you all the way to Montreal for Knit City, the least one can do is untangle her linen-silk yarn for her. This one had a disagreement with a winding swift and lost!

So happy to be at Knit City Montreal with a like-minded group of needle nerds!

My debut pattern is out on Ravelry now! And it has been listed in the top 20 new designers! So exciting. Check it out.

The Garters and Lace Shawl was created as an intro to lace stitches and is a fun and easy knit with a combo of “concentration” rows and rows where you can shut your brain off.

Thanks so much to test knitters Cara, Dawn, Sheilah, Susan, Teresa, and Vickie!

First off I wanted to take a moment and give a giant shout out to this incredible group of humans that helped me get this collection ready for the world.

You’ve seen them share their incredible projects, and the community that has grown surrounding this idea of a sample maker group- far exceeded any expectations I hoped to have when it started.

Mushroom Hunt is a gorgeous subtle variegated brown with hints of pale pink and the most random tiny speckles of rusty brown. A color I enjoyed creating but didn’t fall in love with until I dyed up a table full.

Second giant thank you goes out to everyone who shopped the collection already. I cannot wait to get started on dyeing up orders and shipping out your beautiful yarn hauls.

Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend. It feels like a true start to the “ber months with an overnight low in the 40’s tonight. #bringontheber

What a weekend. Full of knitting, laughter, and tears. Couldn't have asked for a better group of ladies to hang out with. Forever grateful. And a special thanks to @handmade_by_sheilah for welcoming us into your beautiful home!

If I had known the depth of the friendships that would develop from this hobby I would have started knitting a long time ago. I’m struggling to express what these women (and others who couldn’t make the trip) mean to me (you know who you are!) Thank you @handmade_by_sheilah for dreaming this get together into existence! All I can put into words is - my cup is full 🩵🩵🩵

Knit City Toronto 🧶

Who knew I’d make so many friends with this Covid hobby gone wild? Michele @michele_knitz and I became fast friends and she came to visit me last year in Utah and now I got to come visit her in Canada and connect with so many other friends!

This was my first time coming to an event like this… all the beautiful yarn and incredible talent 😍

Since the Millennial Collection is back, I thought I'd give her a little more space on the grid and remind all of you (old faces and new) that these are available through July! PLEASE NOTE - these are last year's pictures, so the specialty Boucle is NOT available.

Perhaps the most ICONIC design for a Millennial, this teal brushstroke with purple accents was EVERYWHERE. Did you know it had a name? Because I didn't!

Say hello to JAZZ CUP, an absolutely DELICIOUS aqua inspired by the design. This is another one a bit tough to photograph, but it does lean warm! It is just such a perfectly 90s colour - and with a real summery vibe, too.

Be sure to swipe through a few photos of some fabulous makers rocking their Jazz Cup FOs! And if you've made/make anything with it, don't forget to use #tfsjazzcup so people curious about what it looks like can find it (and me - so I can find it too 😊😊).

I've had someone ask if 50g sets of Millennial would be available. If I consider the listing, I need to know that I won't be stuck with a ton of leftovers. So please answer honestly if you intend to purchase one! Thanks so much!

Would you buy a 50g set of the Millennial Collection?
