Finally I finished (or almost finished ) many of my big and small projects and can afford to enjoy Shetland lace knitting. This is the beginning of my “The Second One” shawl by @apassionforlace ☺️~Lana

I spent a beautiful day in Kensington Market today- and I finally got to show off my #folkeshawl , designed by talented @kiyomibee, and published in newest @amirisushop. The centre split and the soft, chunky yarn @katiayarns make for a very cozy shawl!
This project took me 2 years to start, and 12 hours to prepare the yarn #k1s1 #extremknittingyarn , 2 hours to knit, 1 blister on my right hand and 1 thirty-second video to complete! But it was #worthit . I adore this blanket. A true family heirloom! @jacquifink

The #k1s1 #extremeknittingyarn is ready, the needles are sharpened, and I’m starting the #jacquifink #throw !

It’s my third #haywardsweater by @juliehoover_design . The yarn is a cotton and merino wool blend, perfect for the summer. Love this design so much!

The beauty of the #papillonshawl is so great, that it’s hard to find the right words to describe it. You just have to enjoy it.

New beginnings! The #papillonshawl ( Butterfly shawl) by Marin Melchior is absolutely addictive to knit.

Spring is finally coming to Toronto, and you know what that means: #shawlseason ☀️Aren’t the colours just grand on this shawl? Perfect for a springtime walk or cold summer evenings. Yarn is @koigu1 #koigukpppm #makeitkoigu

My youngest daughter doesn’t really love to knit, but when she saw this yarn @cosyposyyarnco immediately wanted to work with it. Now she’s working on a wrap for the spring- always great to see new knitters joining the community! Should we officially add her to the account?

With the weather so snowy and dreary in Toronto, it’s only natural to want some green in your life! Thanks to @arnecarlos, our winter can be green and cozy.

I had the pleasure and honour of test knitting the beautiful Apricite sweater #apricitesweater for the talented designer Kiyomi @kiyomibee , published in issue 7 of @laine_magazine. Truly a design worthy of the front page! ~ Lana

With this bitterly cold, incredibly cozy weather that’s hit #Toronto, I’ve been struck with #snoodmania! And the urge to use up leftover yarn of course. We all need a #snood to guard against the wind while we shovel snow, after all! ~Lana❄️⛷

Knitting #socks is like eating candy- you can’t have just one. Happy #socksunday ☀️!
