CSPC 2025 - Its my first of science policy conference. I am learning so much. #cspc2025

Cast on this Live by the Leaf toque (aka beanie). Its my second Christmas project. I am using Estelle worsted & Berrocco Vintage DK (held double).

The other project is a pair of socks (Njord pattern by @knitsiphappy.bsky.social )

KW Knitters Fair haul -

2 x @pineandpurl.bsky.social project bags & stitch stoppers

2 skeins Mohair silk in Morning glory & Knit Sip Knit cup from. @leo.and.roxy.co

I went to Knit City Montreal and got a few projects worth of yarn….its a years worth if I grow a few extra arms. lol!

Finished up my Let’s Stay home socks yesterday. They still need to be blocked but I think they look pretty good. And the bamboo merino yarn from @yarnindulgences.bsky.social is something I will definitely use again.

Let’s Stay Home socks progress shot. I am just starting the heel. I am opting to do the heels in the MC, and the toes will be in the CC that’s on the cuffs.

This week’s cast on: The Let’s stay home socks by Nancy Wheeler @knitsiphappy.bsky.social (yarn: Yarn Indulgences bamboo sock ).

I cast on sock 2 yesterday and will knit these concurrently going forward.

These fire pit mitts are off the needles & being used by my son. It’s my second time making this pattern and I made the small this time. And I discovered this size fits me best. So I will definitely make this pattern again. :)

Current project: Fire pit mitts by Taylor Earl for my youngest son who’s a gamer and digital artist. His room in this old house is draughty.

Yarn: knitting for Olive mohair in Blue tit, Stony Lake Yarns in a dark teal & Kremke Soul wool baby silk fluffy.

My advent socks are complete and they are toasty.

The pattern is on Ravelry and is called the Vanilla Latte socks. And the yarn is by a Canadian dyer named The Cozy Knitter.

My 24-stripe advent sock are at the gusset decreases. The pattern is the vanilla latte sock with eye of partridge heels. #cozyknitteryarn

These are for my dream knitting list. They are the Sydanmaa mittens (see Ravelry.com) and It’s a free pattern!!

Preparing for my Dec 1 Advent cast on with friends. CC colour is wound, needles and project bag selected & stocked. Our sock kit was purchased from The Cozy Knitter. Eeek I am excited.
