It’s starting to get a little crisp at night- feels like knitting weather! The shop is open from 10:00am-6:00pm today. Come on down for a stroll by the ocean and a new project. We even have benches all along the boardwalk for knitting!

Last night we made wet felted bowls! It was a cozy little group of us, but the conversation was amazing and the bowls turned out so vibrant and beautiful! 💜

Got your attention didn’t I? This is Edwina, my 17 year old hostility puff. She’s never even been to the shop, but she wants you to know that the shop will be open on Labour Day from 10:00-6:00pm. 🐈‍⬛ 🦄💜

We need this to go viral in the knitty community! We can all walk around in our Lake Ontario socks!

This pattern launched at Knit City Toronto on May 18, 2024. Stephanie from The Creative Knitter very kindly asked me to collaborate and work with her lovely yarns.

Have you been curious about wet felting? We turn fluff into stuff! You can sign up for a class and make a bowl or a jellyfish light and we will complete the project in one evening. So many vibrant colour choices in merino wool, silk and more to create a magical piece of art!

A huge thank you to everybody who came out today for the Turtlepurl trunk show! Wow! There was very little yarn left at the end-what an amazing knitty community we have here! Emily is just the sweetest person! And thank you to Ilona for bringing her stitch marker bar and adding to the festivities!! And another thank you to Sarah for making her adorable cupcakes for the occasion. My face hurts from smiling. 😊 💜🦄
