Me
I’m an enthusiastic knitter, blogger, designer, and have a newly minted PhD in the Social Sciences. Aside from my passionate interest in knitting, I make time for teaching which I love, and the hunt for a full-time job which I would love to have. I like knitting because it lets me get creative, I like the sense of accomplishment it gives me, and I like the finished objects. I’ve recently begun delving into pattern design and this has been very satisfying so far.
This blog is a way for me to track my knitting progress and get chatty with other knitterly friends and neighbours, and it gives me an opportunity to write and photograph what I’m interested in. I also love reading other people’s knitting blogs.
I’m Canadian, I enjoy reading, am fannish about film and television, I enjoy jogging, cooking, and I lean to the left. Welcome to my blog.
My blog is my own and I choose my content based on my personal interest and the current goings-on in my life. Please note that direct requests to post certain content, advertising, or promotion of other websites will not receive a response. I thank you for your understanding.

Dear Glenna,
It was nice to meet you this evening at Lettuce Knits. Everyone was so very friendly and no one told me to hush…even though I was talking too much. I ended up with a kit for theat sweater Laura was making and two skeins of Dream in Color for yet some more socks.
Good luck with your thesis–and your Jazz socks.
I can’t believe you made Luna. (No lace for me…that’s for sure.) I read the pattern once. That’s it though.
Night night,
Robin from Nashville
Oops, of course I meant Jaywalker. But “Jazz” sounds like a great name for a pair of socks anyway.
heehee

Hello dear knitter,
there is a very funny short movie, a finnish one, called “the last knit”. You really, really should see it if you don’t know it yet. The filmmaker is Laura Neuvonen.

I’m trying to branch out my knitting this year… so far its been a lot of scarfs and a hat – all fairly boring and straight forward. I too must make time for graduate studies. I enjoyed your blog and your pictures… they’ve left me feeling inspired.
Hi
I’m new to Toronto, and am enjoying hunting down yarn shops, drooling over all the pretty handpainted sockyarns in LettusKnits, and getting lost in the back rooms of Romni. Unfortunately, I’m broke for the summer and am relying on my limited stash to keep me going. (which is the subject of my own blog. stashbusterknitting.wordpress.com. I am hoping that once the fall hits and I am free to make money again, I can get involved in a knitting group or something. Any suggestions?
Your patters and gorgeous, by the way. I need to do some serious sock knitting.
Peg
Any chance you went to Westdale?
