I'm loving the little blips of red! This is @river.city.yarns’ house yarn, Hat Trick hockey yarn in the Columbus colourway (dyed by the dye master herself, @ancientartsyarn) and it will be available in my booth at @knitcityvancouver! You don’t even have to be a hockey fan to love it!

Assembling an order of my favourite stitch markers for @baaadannas. I’ll take them in tonight when I teach my beginners sweater class and tell my students when they need both kinds of stitch markers in their tool kit. Do you know the benefits of each kind?

Tools & materials #marchmeetthemakerday20 I don’t have a huge collection of knitting and crochet tools, but I do have things that are really helpful.
When I first joined a knitting group nearly 20 years ago I was advised, by older and wiser knitters than me, to use circular needles even when knitting flat and that Addi’s were the best. I have quite a collection of their circular needles plus, more recently, their interchangeable ones. I love Knit Picks double-pointed needles for sock knitting. I’ve also added Addi Swing crochet hooks to my collection because they are kinder on the hands than the traditional ones.
What else? A basic calculator for when I need to check stitch and row numbers. Stitch holders because I love seamless knitting. A very useful needle gauge which has metric, UK and US sizes along with a ruler. Lockable stitch markers which live in the Shaun the Sheep tin. I use them all the time to keep track of stitches and rows. The hooked cable needles, which I bought out of curiosity. Yarn needles for finishing ends and a knitting machine needle, which is really useful!

I’m not sure if I think this is genius or insanity, but I’m totally willing to give it a shot next time. .

Pro Knit Tip :: I thread blocking wires into my projects while they're dry, *then* soak them in the tub. It's so much easier than hunching over my blocking board with the wet item. FYI, that's my new Chimera shawl design from Twist Collective.

Day twenty of #marchmeetthemaker is 'tools'. As well as my yarn and knitting needles - I have a collection of essentials which live in a yarn bowl next to the sofa. This means I don't have to get off my bum too often!
.
Including my lovely scissors from @beyond_measure_uk , hand balm, lip balm, sewing up needles, notebook & pencil, safety pins, scrap of yarn for making markers, emery board, arthritis gloves, a tape measure, crochet hook and a pin cushion egg (so the kitties can't get the pins... also from @beyond_measure_uk). Yarn bowl is from @poppysholmfirth.

Happy Mail Day :: Yesterday a wonderful surprise landed on my doorstep. @river.city.yarns sent me their limited edition Advent Box full of lots of treats to count me down to Christmas. I'm so excited to start opening; I think I'm going to have a hard time not peeking!
.
Go order yours from their website. I think there are just a few boxes left!

A big THANK YOU to everyone who came out and supported me at Knit City. You helped make it the best weekend of the year! I love meeting you all face to face, the hugs, and seeing your beautiful handknits. Let's do it again next year, okay?

So, you know how when you were a kid you couldn't sleep the night before Christmas? That was me last night. The first market day of @knitcityvancouver was every bit as wonderful as Christmas day! Now I'm waiting for the pizza to arrive and then I'm going to bed to rest up for tomorrow! See you there?
