Lots of new friends! These guys live in the adorable shop Ariadne
and were designed and knit by Jennie, the patterns for some of them are available from Ariadne and if you happen to be in Montreal she’s doing a class that sounds like a lot of fun soon. I love the idea of it - [...]

Yesterday we had fun showing Montreal to Elijah and Otto. And now our legs hurt from walking all over the place. My nose is very red too, I wasn’t expecting it to be like summer so that’s awesome. I have my red shoes and a red ribbon in my hair though so at least it’s [...]

I’ve sent out an update for the Otto pattern, the first line on p.4 should begin ‘K3 sts from needle 1 onto needle 3′ not ‘K3 sts from needle 1 onto needle 2′.

I’m here, and it’s really warm and sunny which is fun although it does mean I have a lot of rather useless warm clothing! I know that lots of people responded to my post about coming here wanting to meet up so I thought I’d post that tomorrow I’ll be going to the Montreal Knits [...]

I love the way the two differently sized Ottos look together and got a little carried away taking photos of the cuteness.

Otto’s legs are [...]

My new red mary janes are from Jones the Bootmakers.
I adore them and I’m pretty sure they’ll be my new everyday shoes although they’re not totally broken in comfortable yet. And yes, I do have a bit of a red mary jane collection. It isn’t really growing though, since these effectively replaced last years [...]

That I didn’t make! It’s always so exciting the first time I see one of my designs made and worn by someone else.

I love the way it’s fastened with one of Emily’s brooches too. More info about the project on Ravelry.

Pattern for Otto the polar bear coming soon!

You have been rather neglected lately, haven’t you? I’ve been super busy + fuzzed up with a cold, but I’m feeling a little better and more on top of things now. I’ll be back with more to say soon, and with at least one new pattern, but for now here are a few photos from [...]
