New patterns, new FOs, new everythings!

Witness my fabulous selfie
with the Forager set

Happy November everyone! If you've been following me on Insta, you'll (hopefully) have caught my post today about a new pattern :D It's called Forager mittens, and they're designed to match my Forager toque, published last year. They're super simple, and they make great use of chunky/bulky yarn scraps to keep your hands warm, and to match your Forager toque ;) All winter (until 20 April 2019), the mittens will be 50% off when you buy both patterns together, and if you've already got the toque, the discount will work too! Handy dandy.

So other than that exciting bit, I've been accepted as a vendor at the fawn + cub Christmas Market in Morden, MB; I'm so pumped to get in on this market! It's my hometown and it's got a HUGE artisan scene, so this is a talented crew and I'm very thankful to be included :D The market is 2 December (yup a Sunday) at the Access Centre, and it's got LOADS of different types of vendors, so there will definitely be something for everyone! It also means that I'm dyeing up chunky yarn in some glorious holiday colourways, so stay tuned for some shots of those beauties!

And I'm on a sweater binge - I'm just about to weave in the ends on my Fading Lines cardigan (pattern by Joji Locatelli) and I'm really pleased with how it looks; it has this lovely retro afghan vibe because of the zigzag collar and warm colours, and I can't wait to wear it! I'm also into the first bit of the Seaboard Sweater by Tanis Lavallee (Tanis Fibre Arts) with some of my own yarns and I love the way it's shaping up. Lots of beautiful pieces to see me into the chilly weather...my only issue now is making room in my drawers :P

The snow's been going all day (melting, but still falling) so I guess it's that time of year now. Get your boots out - and don't forget your mittens ;) Have a great weekend!
