I'm an avid knitter, crocheter, and general crafter, and I like to share my various projects and assorted interests with others. 🇨🇦
We're all set up at The Branches! Come by today from 1-4pm to see our (un)usual knit and crochet friends and some bonus holiday ornaments for the season.

We are outside on the porch as you go in, so easy to find!

Tomorrow is our last market of the year, and that means I need to get All The Things ready. This is our first time at this market, and we're excited. Stop by and support local with us!

Two of my favourite local shops did a collab, and it is delicious! Thanks, @flyingsquirrelyarn.bsky.social, for letting us snag some last night.

I also finished a sock and started the second!

#WIPWednesday for #showmeyourknits! Just an ankle and heel turn for now, but these will eventually be socks for a friend. I was told to pick any colour, so I hope she likes these stripes.

Sorry to drop the C-bomb, but are you looking for the perfect Christmas gift for the dinosaur fan who has everything? How about a commission gift certificate? Stock of these is VERY limited, so if you want one, you know what to do! 🙂

I also am late for #crochetaway PINK week!

This Ophthalmosaurus #ichthyosaurus was a test crochet for designer Jenn Starbird. I had this magenta yarn in my stash - Patons Classic Wool? - and I actually love how it turned out.

Cutting it close this week, but here are my #cables for #showmeyourknits. So. Many. Cables.

Shawl is Equivocation from Curls 2 book by Hunter Hammersen. Yarn is a glorious local hand dye that I've lost the label from.

Model is the always beautiful @grace-is-reading.bsky.social.

This precious fluff turned 14 today (maybe - she's a rescue and dates are uncertain).

She LOVES "her" new lap quilt.

Happy Halloween! It's time for a reveal!

This is Gnumpkin from the October gnome MKAL by Sarah Schira. (pattern also includes witchy Gnettle!)

Yarn is bits from my stash, all leftovers from shawls I knit in the past.

This was my first (of many?) gnome!

This sounds like an excellent reason to visit the ROM again, though probably after the hype of the holidays.
Expanded by 3,500 square feet, the gallery will reopen to the public on December 5 and feature new interactives and displays – including the permanent return of Zuul, one of the best-preserved dinosaurs ever found.

#crochetaway wants to see most recently finished projects, but I've been knitting lately, so here is my partner's recently finished project!

Heavily modified blob monster from the book Crochet Monsters by Megan Lapp @craftyintentions.bsky.social. Yes, it has 6 mouths.

This week's theme for #showmeyourknits is knitting horror stories, especially lost knits.

I knit this #StarWars hat for my partner who left it at the mall. He did go back to check lost and found with no luck. I hope whoever found it loved it.

I finished my #mkal #gnome!

Photos will wait until November, but trust me, it is CUTE!

Gnumpkin and Gnettle (I made a Gnumpkin) pattern by Sarah Schira if you're looking for a last-minute October project. Available on #Ravelry.

#crochetaway wants to see #wip, so here is my crochet project that was put on hold this month while I try to finish a couple knitting projects.

Eventually, it will be a beautiful snail!

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

This is almost as good as hippos chomping pumpkins.
Ever seen a 750-pound muskox face off with a 210-pound pumpkin? 💥 Hudson did, and won! 🏆 Catch more pumpkin-smashing, leaf-crunching, fall fun during #ZooBoo, October 18 & 19. 🎃🐾
