Wishing you a restorative break 💕

Oof! That's really frustrating 😯

I presume their tour is being organized by an events management team, and that is probably the "why" for the ticket pricing. It's not about the amount, it's about the currency.

Since all that says is that Norwegians are coming to Canada, all to more reason to set ticket prices in CAD or even Norwegian Kroner. Le sigh 😔

I noticed that too this morning. Hard no from me as well.

Thank you! Painfully, yes, it was intarsia. Definitely not my favourite technique to do, but the vest for my hubby did turn out great.

A light grey vest with black and white argyle pattern up both sides of the front on a bright red backdrop. Knit way back in 2008! Pattern: Argyle Vest by Veronik Avery.

Grey 🩶 you say? Besides every boring grey hat I've knit for the men in my family, here are a few more fun grey items for #showmeyourknits. Details in alt text.

Love the zebra print 🦓❤️

Best wishes for a quick recovery for your son ❤️‍🩹

I love the idea of unsuspecting folks discovering an adorable knit sting ray on a cruise ship!

A tired dog is a happy dog and that sleeve looks wonderful!

My most recent garter stitch project for this week's #showmeyourknits was this squishy hooded scarf for my son's partner. Pattern in alt text.

Glad to be of service!

It's a fun skill to try out. I say go for it!

Your dexterity is like wearing oven mitts, but the heavenly feeling of soft roving surrounding your hands is worth it! Also, over time the thrums felt a little on the inside which makes them more manageable.

Agree, that level of floof and colour is a little insane in all the best ways!

I made those thrummed mitts as a gift. One day I would love to make them again, only keep them this time!

A pair of thrummed mittens with one inside out to show the fluffy innards. The mittens are black with thrums in a rainbow progression of colours. Pattern: family thrummed mittens

A pair of black and white mittens with a panda sitting among bamboo motif. Pattern: reverse panda mittens

A pair of chartreuse and cream mittens with a geometric pattern on a black background. Pattern: coin slot mittens

My all-time favourite mittens for "hand" week at #showmeyourknits

That yarn combo is amazing 😍
I would have never thought to put those two yarns together.

I loathe duplicate stitch, so this was so worth it for me too. I found the key was just keeping each of the 3 balls in their own position and maintaining the same colour dominance throughout and there was no twisting and tangling of the yarns.

Don't mind me crying over here. What a beautiful story 😭❤️

Thanks! I'd love to see your hat too! I don't know about you, but the 3 colours per row was less of a big deal than I thought it would be.

It's #FOFriday and also time to sneak in a few more firsts for this week's #showmeyourknits theme. First FO of 2026 and first time knitting with 3 colours in the same row.

Lol! You are very sweet! We only have my mother's hoarding (or she would say preservation) skills to thank for this little gem.

A short handknit scarf knit by a child. The scarf is cream and has a few bands of pastel variegated yarn at each end. There are several holes and loose strands.

Another photo of the handknit scarf which showcases some mysterious increases (or is it decreases?) somewhere in the middle.

This week's #showmeyourknits wants knitting firsts for the new year. I unceremoniously present my first ever FO, a scarf I knit when I was about 7 years old. It's no wonder I didn't pick up the needles again for decades 😂🧶#knitsky
Also, thanks Mom for saving this for me 🤗

Gorgeous 😍

In full knitted regalia as a knitter friend of mine used to say. The more hand knit items at once the better!

Thanks! It's a truly fantastic pattern.

Thank you! I really enjoyed the pattern and I'm sure I'll knit it again sometime.

Final knit of 2025. The lovely North Star Hat by Gabrielle Vezina just finished today.
