Chilly autumn hikes need some Autumn Leaves fingerless mitts!

The air is crisp, the tea is hot, and knitting WIPs await me.

May I offer you some chai on these cold autumn days? www.classicsongbird.ca/blog/chai-fo...

Knitting is meant to make you happy. If you love it, knit it.

Working on sample knitting with a desk buddy

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but your belief that a bookshelf with a rolling ladder will fix you is a valid one. Anyone who tells you otherwise is not worthy of your friendship.

October calls for a wee knit black cat!

Knitting is always an experiment. Take the risk of a tough pattern. Try the weird yarn. You might just find a new favourite.

I absolutely adore dark yarns, but goddamn are they hard to work with sometimes. This week on the blog, I’ve got three tips for making a bit easier: www.classicsongbird.ca/blog/tips-kn...

Tip of day: adding little pieces of stuffing while filling handmade plushies will help prevent weird bumps and lumps.

Supplies for some new little friends!

At the end of the day, don't we all just want to go on bookstore crawls, bakery crawls, library crawls, and museum crawls?

The Uszka Kitten pattern is here! Uszka Kittens are academic creatures, and are the perfect size for a desktop companion or reading friend. They’re explicitly designed to make you smile, bring you comfort, and be a source of whimsy in your life.

The beauty of knitting is that you can always rip back and start again.

Had a very good weekend visiting sheep at Gaspereau Valley Fiber Farm!

Cool weather is approaching, which means it’s time to knit fingerless mitts!

Reminder to my fellow bisexuals: do not do crimes today. You are briefly visible. Wait til tomorrow when you can no longer be perceived.

Happy first day of autumn!

Taking advantage of the sun to do some sock blocking!

I don’t want to sound overly impatient, but it’s been September 1st for several hours now, and the leaves on the trees remain yet unchanged.

Cats make the world a better place.

The Tiny Mushrooms socks pattern is here! Little mushrooms speckle the forest, hiding away in fallen trees, gaps in roots, and damp soil. Some are friendly and edible, others mischievous and poisonous. The ruffles on these socks mimic the caps on mushrooms, complete with button stitch bobbles.

Remember, time spent knitting is never time wasted. Even if you don't like the finished item. Even if you have to frog three times. Time spent knitting is still good.

Starting to get out the autumn yarns!

The love affair between my cat and my knit socks continues.

Anyone else ready for fall and long knit socks? I can’t wait to bring my Great Lakes socks out of their seasonal storage.
