I can declare with all honesty that I have missed travelling. I was fortunate enough to have taken my last pre-pandemic trip right at the end of 2019, which tided me over for a good part of lockdown and with my fear of flying, I wasn’t exactly missing the idea of being on a plane. …
To swatch or not to swatch. Is that really in question? So you can Google swatching, and there will be a million (slight exaggeration) posts on the topic. It seems that everyone has their own idea about swatching, from how to do it to what to do with all your swatch squares when it’s over …
Happy New Year! As you can see, Wanderful Knits is back and with a new look, new upcoming content and a new store! Yes, there is even a store because your girl has embarked on a journey into knitwear design. More on that to come in later posts. So I know the blog just sort …
I’ve been travelling a lot lately for work, and my mind has fixated on the concept of connections. Now, I’m not talking about the connections one must take to get to their destination but instead those moments when you connect with another human being who was nothing but a complete stranger to you only a …
Yesterday was a good day. A friend of mine came to visit from out of town, and I got to spend time at my LYS while helping her pick out yarn for a sweater. (It’s not often that I get to play “yarn consultant” so I’m usually pretty excited when the opportunity arises.) We hemmed …

I’m back and on a Thursday! Yes, I know I was only gone for one week, but I genuinely missed you guys. I started this blog as a way to share my yarn obsession but it’s become so much more than that to me and not posting last week was a tough decision. However, going …
Some days are hard days but today was a great day. (It helps that the weather warmed up.) Yesterday, I treated myself to a mental health day and used it to let myself wallow in self-pity. (I also killed half an apple pie while watching This is Us but trust me when I say it …
I finished my sock! Okay, I only finished one, but I wanted to start the post on a positive note and right now it feels like a huge accomplishment. I also feel competent enough to complete its twin. So, all in all, great feelings all around. Not sure why this sock knitting experience was so …
If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen that I spent some time in breathtaking St. Andrews, New Brunswick. It was my first visit to Charlotte County, and I am seriously contemplating moving there. (Is it too early to think of retirement?) The town is the epitome of a quaint, homely, beach town …
