So Faded
I so rarely knit other designers patterns, but I just had to try Andrea Mowrey’s fade technique!

Tofino: A wild place that has our hearts
Tofino is a place near and dear to our hearts. It’s even the place where Tin Can Knits started!
Road to Bowline
I was immediately smitten with the idea of hardworking knits, out in the real world! The fact that knitting is usable art is one of the things that drew me to it to begin with. I came up with the Bowline hat, but always in the back of my mind I wanted to design a gansey sweater. This year, in preparation for my trip to Alaska (read more about that here and here), I designed the matching sweater, Bowline, a hardworking knit for everyday wear.
It’s Camp Tolt season!
Inspired by my love of camping: the Banff Mitts for Camp Tolt!
Postcards from Alaska Part 2: The Knitters!
While Cordova is an awesome place, and The Net Loft is an amazing shop, I think my favourite part of my visit north was the knitters. There were so many warm and welcoming knitters, they immediately made me feel right at home!
Little Tern
When Jen of Arnall-Culliford Knitwear invited me to submit a design for consideration for her Year Of Techniques book, I was thrilled! We love the idea of bringing new techniques to knitters so they can up their skills, that was the goal behind our whole Simple Collection!
