I am sad to say I am sick. The shop will be closed today, Thursday, September 11, 2025. The last thing I want to do is share whatever I might have... Also, I'm grossly sweaty, and no one needs to be subjected to seeing that. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The struggle is real. I want to be a bigger yarn store so I can have more beautiful yarn from more brands... patience.

I have been chatting with a tech editor. It has been a great experience. She has been patient with me as this is my first time engaging with a tech editor as a designer. New experiences, always learning. Be brave and take the leap to the unfamiliar.

Still feeling blessed for the shop being a platinum winner in the Community Votes Oshawa 2025 in three categories. Arts & Craft Supplies, Craft Supplies, and Wool, Fibre & Yarn.

Bummer, we are unable to procure a directional sign because of Oshawa sign bylaws. Good thing there is Google maps. Come visit, 688 Hortop Street, Oshawa.

Love having the pleasant surprise of a busy long weekend. Not sure why we thought it would be quiet. Love the energy of people living life and enjoying downtime. Continue being creative everyone 🥰🥰

The shop might look a little different than usual. We rearranged furniture. That way, the social circle isn't interrupted when patrons peruse.

The shop is featured on the DurhamRegion.com's. I am overwhelmed with gratitude to the writer, all my patrons, friends, family, and my partner for all the support I've received. www.durhamregion.com/business/fee... #localyarnstore #localyarnshop #oshawaontario #businesswoman #smallbusinessowner

🎉 COVER REVEAL! 🎉 THE TRUE COST OF WOOL, by @longwayhomestead.bsky.social, is ready to show its face! This groundbreaking investigation into Canada's wool supply chain reveals how 90% of our wool is shipped overseas while ~95% of craft yarn is imported, according to the most recent available data.

Escaping to another time and place is sometimes necessary.

All I have to say to the 51 state comments and the tariffs war. Gggrrrrr I am a strong Canadian woman hear me roar. And go suck a toe for real, you ignorant bully. I am Canadian and proud. I support other Canadian dyers and fibre art brands and will continue to.

I've been feeling a bit disheveled. Forcing myself to break, pause, and assess. Then, act with intention.

This Valentine's Day, I'd like to share all the love and appreciation I have for everyone who has visited the shop since we opened. I look forward to seeing you all again soon. May your day be filled with lots of love. 🧡

Too many days of thick overcast makes for a sluggish shop owner. 😩

Yesterday was a great day. Two of my friends got to see the shop for the first time. A group of individuals came for their own sit and stitch. The energy was great! I still pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming.

Another great social stitch last night. Thank you to everyone who came out. My heart is filled by seeing individuals who mutually love fibre arts and bonding over it and other amazing things. Thanks again for a great night! #KatsCraftCorner #knittersofcanada ##crochetersofcanada #embroidery

We have all the whites, pinks, reds, and purples your heart could desire this February. Come on by or check out our website. You know it's your heart's desire.

Decided not to give up on this shop sample. Even though I'm not a fan of the pattern format.

Not sure who needs to hear this. Remember you woke up today, you are strong, you are capable, you're growing pains will be worth it. You woke up today and are moving, whatever pace that may be, you are moving. It's okay to sigh, be sluggish, progress looks different soemtimes. You are capable.

Does anyone know a free Pixel drawing app? To produce colour work designs for knit and crochet or cross stitch.

Sorry, not sorry 🍁 #crocheter #crochet #yarn #projectbag #pineandpurl

Sample display piece in the works for the shop. Using Fleece Artist and Handmaiden super kid mohair and cascade heritage.

Ever look at a pattern and think 'Nope' because it is presented in an intimidating way? For lack of a better word.

I'm still skipping about the social yesterday. It's really what I want the shop to be. A community, a place to relax and be mindful, cultivate, and create. With all the yarn. Eeeeee, the dream is real. Thank you to everyone that came. You're all awesome.

Working on a sample item for the shop. Using Handmaiden Superkid Silk, and Cascade Heritage Solid in snow and pine. Needles are Kollage interchangeable with a firm cable. Can you believe that the Superkid Silk is 1000m of yarn!!🤯 More progress photos to follow of this top down raglan.

Successful morning social, the first attendees. Love this!

Happy Lunar New Year! The year of the snake is all about shedding bad energy, and is associated with intelligence, resilience and love. May all your resilience help you complete your WIPs, your love for crafting fuel you to cast on new ones, and your intelligence challenge you to try something new.

Feels like -22, I am thrilled to have today away from the shop. Blankets, blankets, and tea all day...oh and of course knitting. Goes without saying.

3 hours of trying to come up with content ideas beyond the obvious...results=nothing.

It's a beautiful day for content creation...😝

When you own a #localyarnstore, there is never a day off. Even if you try, your mind comes back to the things you need to get done or ideas to execute. 💃

Come visit us we have yarn! Hopefully, they will help emotionally. 688 Hortop Street, Oshawa, ONT, L1G4N6

Day 3 of #knithappysummit, let's go!

Week 1 of our January cozy cabin shawl KAL. Section one includes interesting waffle like stitch pattern. Interchange needles: Kollage Square Yarn:Ancient Arts

#knithappysummit day 2, filled with a lot of sock content. Focused on variations for fit. Why are feet such a thing.

We had a wonderful day at the shop yesterday. We're hoping today is just or even more fantastic. The individuals we meet are awesome!
