Mary is brilliant - creating mind-blowing designs and techniques. 🧶 workshop.
This is exciting! Mary W Martin will be teaching a free virtual workshop for our members on 2-Pass Woven Knitting (www.ravelry.com/bundles/two-...), her VERY clever technique. Members only, but anyone can join us at www.kwkg.ca/join-us/! $40 CAD for membership, cheaper than a lot of workshops 😉

The Yarn Harlot once said, you can recognize a knitter because their hats, scarves and mittens won’t match. I’m fumbling the quote, but the gist sticks with me. We get distracted by the next shiny, new skein/colour/pattern. 🧶
Are you a matchy matchy maker or one who follows their muse?

In knitting and crochet (but also life and business) the loudest voice in the room rarely has the answers. What do we have to change to start hearing the introverts?

My least favourite Heard in a Yarn Shop quote, “It’s a dying art.” Generally stated by people who do not knit or crochet. I want to show them the generations (plural) of makers who are so damn enthusiastic. It’s not dying.
I need a comeback for them. Other than my glare. Suggestions? 🧶

The pattern, by Iron Lamb, features a raglan increase and the option to add granny squares at the sleeve cuff. 🧶
