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

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 …

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 ❄

Major kudos to @imagined_landscapes for all the hard work and thoughtfulness that went into each update and the Gnome design itself. I love that I can change the hat or accessories depending on Gnöel's mood.

Late post because this was a mystery knit along an Late post because this was a mystery knit along and I never know when to post my finished gnome for these. This one was a choose your own adventure gnome and a mystery so it was really cool to see him come to life.

Gnorbert is a chonky boy and the biggest of all the gnomes I've knit so far. He's always ready for an adventure especially if it leads to a nap.

I don't know about you but I'm in full denial about the upcoming weather and I'm still knitting as if Summer is here. It's my way of coping and I like it. Fall who? 😆
