I am still form of recovering from my prescribed, deadlined, focussed knitting of the summertime and am currently knitting like Bridget Jones eats when she has a hangover — I am running on whatever indulgent thing I look alike and exploring the more exciting aspects of instant gratification.
Here is one of my recent creations:
It was [...]

Here are some pictures of the scarf I knit with the yarn I spun from the Pixie batts from Evonne Wee’s Etsy shop:
I am very pleased with it. I have listed it in my new Parallax Knitting Etsy store (here).
I didn’t realize that usernames mattered on Etsy, so I created a new one (my [...]
When I was walking through the Calgary airport on Wednesday I was altogether stopped in my tracks by the scene of Rachel Weisz in the most fantastic sweater on the top of American Vogue:
I of course cracked out the wallet immediately.
