What are you knitting for the holidays

Have you started your holiday knits? I have. I bought a fantastic book at Michaels (bite my tongue) it is called "Sock Yarn One -Skein Wonders" I think it is the best One Skein Wonder yet. Projects golore.


I am also knitting a Sophie Bag. Remember Mag Knits? They had a pattern for beautiful Sophie (thanks Julia) I found it after searching the web. The pattern calls for Cascade 220, but I am using Brownsheep's Lamb's Pride worsted to make Sophie. This yarn is great, wool and Mohair.

I am also knitting my fav Feather and Fan. I love this pattern as it looks beautiful all the time. My yarn of choice is Patons Lace colour ways Midas. A mixture of beiges and browns.

Can't wait to hear what you are knitting.

Knitters Pride Nova Needles @ Knitters Attic

You can now get your Knitters Pride Nova stainless steel needles at Knitters Attic. These needles come in Double Pointed, Straights and Circulars.

They are easy to use. The tips are pointy, this makes it easy to pick up the yarn. The yarn slides easily across the needle. Making these knitting needles great.

Charity Knits Dinner

Last night our group of Charity Knitters met at Citro Italian Restaurant in Richmond Hill, Ontario for a night of fun and food. The Citro is located at the corner of Lorne and Yonge St., on the east side. The food is out of this world, and the chef Johnny who was trained in Sicily, know how to make your taste buds happy.
We were 15 adults, plus three week old baby Maryam Barnes.
