A trip to Stratford, Ontario meant a stop at Songbird Fibres, an indie dyer whose work reflects the colour of birds. This is the Nicobar Pigeon. @fibrearts @knitting

Now that my daughter has her set of "Definitely Not Vampire Stakes," I can show you mine -- 9 mm needles and a 5 mm crochet hook in a cool bag. I can see using these with art yarns to make some textured scarves. I found them on Wil Wheaton's Facebook page and bought them that night which was good because they were sold out the next day. The nice thing is that part of the funds went to facebook.com/ChicagoFoundation. @knitting @fiberarts

A game of yarn chicken but not a serious one. The pattern is Jeeves (as in Jeeves and Wooster) and despite the seeming complexity of the pattern, it is easy to memorize. Yarn is the sturdy and likely vintage Kroy. @knitting @fiberarts

This is why we knit. Someone loved their moose mittens. They sort of match her Home Alone Hat. Pattern is Moose Mittens by Kate Atherley. Yarn is Ashford Merino DK and Patons North America Classic. I added a Latvian Braid to honour her heritage. @knitting @fibrearts

Work in progress. Yamadori found on Knitty.com. Yarn is Songbird Fibres Purple-backed Thornhill. It will be interesting to see how pooling affects the look of the slipped stitches. @knitting @knittymag @fiberarts

Another hat blocked. Who else hates blocking and does it all at once? The pattern is Rose Window. Coloured yarn is Poems and black is left from other projects. @knitting @fibrearts

Mini mitts with an interesting construction that begins at the thumb and makes a circle that is completed with short rows. Circle Mitts on Ravelry. Yarn is Uneek Sock Yarn.

I finally blocked the Alaska Hat. Yarn is Blue Brick Aurora. Mittens to match are from the remainder and I added scraps of blue and gold. Pattern is Paddle to the Sea, a favourite NFB of Canada film. Yarn was carried along the back in a new-to-me technique called Jacquard Ladderback making a stretchy web in back. @ @knitting @fiberarts
