Hedgehog Rearranging

Hedgehog Sock is back in alphabetical order including the brand new colours. There are a few empty hooks so I need to get another order in.

This took a bit of time yesterday and it was really hot at that end of the store. I was wiped when I got home. Dinner then some time sitting and knitting.

Fading Point (pattern purchased on Ravelry) by Joji Locatelli is one of my all time favourites. I loved knitting the shawl and I love wearing it.

I’ve started working on new combinations

I took a quick photo of Grevillia before leaving home this morning. I’m part way through the third colour. It seems to go faster now when I’m changing colours 😜.

Now I’m heading back to Hedgehog world. It isn’t as hot today so I should be able to work in the fingering weight room.

Icy Aqua

July 2026 is a gorgeous, icy aqua covered in dreamy lavender, magenta, and subtle golden sunshiny specks!

The July Crazy Beautiful Colour is so pretty. 

The new Opal collections are available online and in the store. Above is Midnight Dream and below is Firework.

Andrea Mowry put a sneak peek on her Instagram page for this year’s Rhinebeck sweater. Here is a link. Andrea uses Dyed in the Wool for the sweater. Another yarn option will be Zauberball Starke 6.

There will be two brand new colours of Dyed in the Wool coming soon - maybe next week. Tender Thoughts.

Tough Love.

I’m about to start the next colour on my shawl. Tonight’s movie is Song Sung Blue. It was a cheery happy movie and now it isn’t. We took a break for a minute to take the dogs out. Hopefully it becomes happy again.

Happy Canada Day

Mr. Canada Post brought a big box of Opal yesterday morning. These aren’t online yet. That is tomorrow’s job. Don’t forget that Opal collections are not repeated. If you see colours you like please don’t wait. Once they are sold out we can’t get the anymore.

Here are two more new colours from Hedgehog. Heartbreaker and Mood Ring.

I love Andrea Mowry’s Birds of a Feather Shawl. We’ve had different samples knit over the years. 

I put together a few combinations while I was in the store yesterday.

Peony

Pressed Flowers

Ballet Slipper

Pillow Fort

Rain on Violets

Wow was it hot today. The plan was for dad and I to go to the Warplane Heritage Museum this morning. It was a good way to spend a few hours. Neither of us has been before. It was so hot out that I wasn’t taking dad out - he might not have made it home. Then we had a huge storm and the temperature has dropped. Until tomorrow morning when it gets crazy hot again.

I made it to the first colour on Grevillia. Sorry for the awful pictures. I was rushing to get my post finished since I didn’t write yesterday.

Once I get into the next colour I will get much better pictures. Now it’s bed time - tomorrow is going to be busy. I have lots of orders to pack (thank you everyone who placed an order today) and then I need to work on the website. I won’t be putting yarn away in the fingering weight room. That room isn’t air conditioned and it was hot yesterday so I can only imagine how hot it will be tomorrow.

Happy Hedgehog Day

Mr. UPS stopped by this morning with 3 large boxes from Hedgehog. I pulled out a few of the new colours for pictures.

Pigeon and Wisp

Dreamland and Ballet Slipper

Pressed Flowers, Pillow Fort and Rain on Violets.

I’m working on getting the yarn on the website. I should have had the pictures online and ready to go but I wasn’t feeling great last week and I didn’t have it in me.

Kits for Find Your Fade in the colours that Andrea Mowry used are available online and in the store.

Skinny Singles and Kidsilk Lace have been added to the website. I will work on the rest tomorrow. We have new colours in Merino DK, Twist Sock and Hedgehog Sock.

La Storia

Here is Isabell Kraemer’s latest sweater.

La Storia is a beautifully textured t-shirt, worked seamlessly from the top down.  

The first part of the yoke is worked back and forth in rows.  

Once the V-neck shaping is complete, the yoke is worked in rounds with raglan increases to the final yoke depth, where sleeve stitches are put on hold.  

From this point the body is worked in rounds down to the ribbing. Then sleeve stitches are picked up again to work the sleeves in rounds top down to the cuffs.  

V-neck finishing is worked last.

You can purchase the pattern for La Storia on Ravelry.

The sweater is knit with fingering weight yarn - you have many yarn options.

The first two pattern repeats of Grevillia are finished. I was hoping to make it to the colours tonight but I had a busy day. Laundry, washing floors and grocery shopping ate into my knitting time. It was also a busy sports day so I was continually changing channels. What a great soccer game!!!!

Our little super hero

Boscoe donated blood on Thursday afternoon. After he was finished they put him in a super hero cape and took pictures. Beth said he was so good.

Yesterday’s purchases

-brand new colours of Spincycle Dyed in the Wool that will be here sometime this fall

Dream Journal

Fresh Air

Peas in a Pod

-Lantern Moon interchangeable needle sets

-Zing interchangeable needle sets and double pointed needles

There are a few colours of Dyed in the Wool that aren’t going to be produced right now. We are offering these colours for $36 a skein. Don’t miss out.

One of my Traveler Cowls knit in Sea Spray. You need 3 skeins and 3.75mm needles.

This is New Leaf and we used Dyed in the Wool Every Rose for the contrast colour.

Beth sent pictures from the cottage. The dogs were hot on the boat so they came home for a swim. Jackson and Fred just walk around in the lake.

That’s Fred just walking around. I’m not sure he knows how to swim. 

There was a bit of fishing after dinner. Fred won’t get off the boat. If Beth can’t find she goes down to the water and he’s either on the boat or sitting on the dock trying to get on the boat.
