We're heading off to TNNA

TNNA is so exciting! Hundreds of booths filled with yarn, garments and many famous, talented designers. We're proud to be a part of this event.

We've got a new hemp cardi design that we'll feature as our SampleIt product. Knit in our new hemp6LUX yarn (natural bleached) and available on a 500gr (1lb) cone.

Our studio will be closed from Wed June 20 thru to Tues the 26th. Hope to see you at the show!

Patternfish April Newsletter

Check out the latest newsletter from Patternfish. This newsletter is loaded with inspiration and every issue highlights lots of designs and fibre news. There's a fair bit of Canadian content in this issue and wait for it...I'm the designer of the month.

Lana's Flaming June

I've just finished my Flaming June. Maybe I need to rename mine since the original design was knit with brick and pumpkin (very flaming colors)!

I love the fabric that the allhemp3 yarn knits at this gauge. It's worked on a 3.75m (5US) needle which is slightly larger than the suggested size. It is so airy and lightweight and I know I'll wear it lots once the weather warms up. There's alot of peole knitting this design and I know because the allhemp3 is flying off the shelves.

Flaming June

We were so excited when we saw this design using our allhemp3 yarn in the latest Knitty issue. Check out Flaming June designed by Cheryl Niamath. It's got all the things I love in a design - style, drape and real wearability! I immediately cast on using the color Pearl (off white) for the main and Classic Hemp (beige) for the contrast. The finished fabric is nice and airy and will be perfect when it heats up a bit.

Stitches West 2012

Here's some pics of our booth this year. We sure do cram a lot of stuff into a 10 x 10 booth.

You can see the Girly Dress and Flirty Ruffles Skirt in the large posters. They were a really big hit, as were Kathys Canapa Cardi and Knot Garden Top.

We had so many sample garments this year- in fact I'm still putting them away!

It was great to meet so many  knitters. You all give us so much encouragement and support. That's what I really love about doing the shows.
