Adventures in yarn dyeing

by wanderfulknitsupdated on December 4, 2019December 4, 2019Leave a Comment on Adventures in yarn dyeing

Nothing beats adding new fibre related knowledge to my brain. Evidenced by the number of knitting patterns and technique books, I have littered around my apartment. So when my favourite LYS, Where the Wildflowers Grow Gallery, mentioned they had a workshop where I could dye my own double knit sock blank, I jumped at the …

There really is no better feeling than the joy of returning home. As much as I love Canada and I thoroughly enjoy my time living in this country, there is always a flutter of excitement that beats within my chest as the plane starts landing and the beautiful mountain ranges of Trinidad come into view. …

Pattern Release: The Beach

by wanderfulknitsupdated on January 1, 2022September 25, 20192 Comments on Pattern Release: The Beach

So it’s Fall now and while it is my 2nd favourite season, I’ll admit that it was really hard to say goodbye to Summer. Like sobbing uncontrollably while cry singing “you are my sunshine” on the floor, hard. Luckily, Summer decided to go out with a bang by giving us a gloriously warm day and …

Taking It Slow

So after I wrote my previous piece on the blog, I made a promise to myself that I would engage in some self-reflection and work on learning to be more patient. Identifying the issue was a significant first step, but I knew I wasn’t going to accomplish any growth by just sticking with the status …

Patience

by wanderfulknitsupdated on July 30, 2019April 4, 2019Leave a Comment on Patience

Patience. I will admit, I don’t have a lot of it, and I feel that the older I get, the more impatient I’m getting and being a knitter hasn’t helped me one bit in this realm. Colour me typical but I live in a world of instant gratification, and I will be the first to …

Custom Made Happiness

by wanderfulknitsupdated on July 30, 2019February 27, 20191 Comment on Custom Made Happiness

Winter sucks! I mean I will admit that it is a beautiful time of year when the snow falls slowly, and everything looks so fluffy and nice but then the cold and ice sets in and it becomes nothing but a vast wasteland of nothingness where no one smiles anymore, and we all feel confined …

Another day, Another pair of socks

Hello faithful readers. I am back on the East Coast, and if I’m honest with myself it feels terrific! Okay, so I’ve been back for a while now, but I was suffering from the worst case of writer’s’ block. I had some ideas ready for posting that I thought was blog gold but then I …

Kingston

Just like this bunny, my new job has me hopping from place to place. So it finally happened. I packed up my bags and moved to Kingston for a month. I always find it amazing how you can know something is coming up in your life but still feel emotional when the day finally arrives. …

Solace

Aha! I refused to let April fly by without putting out a blog post, and I’m glad I’ve finally managed to put thought to digital paper. The last couple of weeks have been quite hectic and with my upcoming move to Kingston, ON (just for a month) I’ve been focused on soaking up as much …

I don't care what the weather network says; I'm al I don't care what the weather network says; I'm already on my Spring vibes!

I'll be re-releasing my #lightmeup pattern so you can get this squishy beauty on your needles before the Spring weather arrives. 

I'll be putting out a call for testers very soon, so be sure to watch out if you're interested.

Can we just bring on Spring and Summer already? Th Can we just bring on Spring and Summer already? This yo-yo-ing type Winter weather we're having is giving me whiplash and I don't love it 🥶

The only plus is that I have no desire to be outside most days so I have time to work on my latest design. 

Thankfully this Fizz Pop colourway from @katsriversidestudio is helping me think of warmer times to come and the yoke design is exactly what I envisioned.  I love it when a design is just coming together after dealing with previous trials and errors 🌞

Do you have a favorite season? Tell me why it's not Winter in the comment section. Just kidding (but no for real, this season sucks) 😆

This is a long one and yes I told myself I wasn't This is a long one and yes I told myself I wasn't going to post any more dance videos to my grid but fuck it. 

Let's talk about yesterday. I was having a BAD day y'all. Not just an isolated event bad day but a so mentally triggered day that I always felt two seconds away from throwing a major tantrum. However, I don't like to emotionally bleed all over other people so I spent all day regulating my emotions and by the time I was supposed to head out for dance, I was drained. 
 
The moment I walked into the studio though I felt something immediately shift within me and while setting my intention I told myself that I was gonna put the day behind me and I was going to embody the bad bitch I am, the ones I know and the ones that came before me and just dance for myself. 

And baby I did just that! Watching this video I couldn't even remember that I was on the verge of multiple meltdowns. In fact, by the time I left I was so energized I couldn't even go to sleep, and looking back I just see a woman feeling herself and having fun. I've grown so much as a dancer, not just physically but mentally as well, and this video is a testament to that. Yeah, I could nit pick on some sections where my technique is off but moving was the only thing that mattered to me at the moment.

Special shout out to @juliawhalley and the other @solecollectv members for always promoting such a safe space for everyone to express themselves and to just fucking move the way our bodies want to move. 

TL;DR: Dance and movement are amazing emotional regulators. You heard it here first.

This pullover is still my go to choice when I want to achieve peak coziness and I love the look and feel of the 4x2 ribbing pattern ❄
