    What the W#%!??

    So, how’s the holiday knitting coming?  Hm?  Not?

    I’m here to help…..take a deep breath.  Om.

    Over the years I’ve been privy to many ‘what should I knit for so-and-so’ conversations.

    I am in the unique position to offer you solid, trustworthy advice as well as all the tools and expertise necessary to get the job done.  Heck, I’ll call you at home to check up on your progress if you send me your number!  Seriously.  And don’t even get me started on what Sandra will do….to ‘help’.

    So….here are some solid winners for the extra special people in your lives.

    FOR YOUR MOTHER

    A Simple Lace Scarf……out of something extra-ordinary.  Like Musk Ox.  She’s worth it. Do I have to remind you of all the ways? Hmmmmm?

    Only 218 yards of knitting but each yard of this magical yarn is a pleasure. Simple and elegant.


    FOR YOUR BESTIE

    The Linen Stitch Scarf is an all-time fave of everyone who’s knit it.

    You know what her favourite colours are, you know she’ll wear it cause she knits too and gets it.

    So, take your time, pick the colours she wears and knit every stitch with love.

    ***ATTN: WE JUST RELOADED KOIGU!***

    Before…

    After….look how happy she is!!

    Other colour possibilities…

    Every colour combo I’ve seen is as original as the woman it’s worn by.

    FOR YOUR DAUGHTER (S)

    The Honey Cowl has been WILDLY popular this year–especially amongst the younger set.

    The pattern is FREE and fabulous.  Quick and fun.  It’s a must knit.

    And can be knit in 3 days, if need be–right Christina?

    I’ve still got LOADS of MadTosh and a new Malabrigo called Rios that would be stunning…

    FOR A SPECIAL BABY

    I got the MOST beautiful yarn delivered this week….from Malabrigo.  As usual. (My name is Wendy and I’m addicted…to Malabrigo)

    The newest from Malabrigo is called Arroyo–sport weight, kettle dyed, superwash merino.  Yummy yummy yummy.

    Baby Yours Sweater is designed by our own Toronto based Yarn Harlot.  How sweet…..and Arroyo is PERFECT. Pashmina from MadTosh would be awesome also. One ball will do it.

    Hello baby!

     
    FOR YOUR HUSBANDThis is my all-time favourite hat pattern.  Koolhaas.  We have it done up in in the MadelineTosh DK.  Rios would be remarkable….you’ve GOT to come see this Rios from Malabrigo. Un. Be. Liev. Able.
     
    FOR EVERYONE ELSEThere’s no shame in taking the fast route with the multitudes in your life….make ‘em all a super-quick and super-fun scarf that they’ll love!And let’s face it, those who don’t knit don’t often ‘get’ the work AND time AND money involved in some of the more intricate patterns I’ve mentioned here today.Baffle them all with your scarf knitting brilliance and it will be our little secret.  Teehee.

    Here are some of the options that have been amazing knitter’s over the past few months…
