One of WIPs for #showmeyourknits is my Moon Mint sweater by Andrea Mowry. I have added a little more length to the body and I am about ready to split for the sleeves. Yarn is my Silky Sock in Royal Purple and Deep in the Forest.

Looking for suggestions on what to call my new self-striping colourway. This sample was kindly knit for me by a friend on my replacement sock yarn which is from a Canadian source now. #knitting #knitbsky #knittedsocks #canadiandyer

My Mom and I voted today. The wait wasn't too long, about 30 minutes. We were told it was longer earlier in the day so it sounds like the turnout so far has been pretty good.

Pierre Poilievre admitting in the debate that he's going to suspend the Charter of Rights and Freedoms so he can defend the charter rights of the people he deems to be worthy should terrify everyone.
Seeing what's happening in the US with ICE he wants the same thing in Canada

This is your ~friendly~ snarky reminder that being apolitical is not only a privilege, it's also a signal that you don't give a shit about anyone else. And it's incredibly short-sighted. The upper deck of the Titanic still ended up on the bottom of the ocean.

I made this infographic to show how small everyday decisions can strengthen Canada’s economy.
It’s called The Power of One. Head to PowerOfOne.ca to see the full story.

Went to a craft night at a local brewery tonight and one of the ladies attending was wearing this lovely pink vest knit in my yarns. So great to see something knit with my yarns out in the wild.

Facts matter. Tune out the bravado and lies from the Conservatives and vote to save Canada from the same doom as the USA.

(I will be very political for the foreseeable future. But I’ll try to also show you some pretty yarn for knitting occasionally 🧶!)

To Winnipeg West CPC MP Marty Morantz:
Some clarifications:
-much of the ‘reckless deficit spending’ was due to making people didn’t starve and businesses didn’t fail during the pandemic
-taxes were only increased on the top 1%, and the carbon tax added 0.16% to the rate of inflation

I'm wearing a pair of socks in my beach ball colourway for #showmeyourknits. They are almost vanilla socks with the exception of 3x1 rib on the leg with a visible mend where I accidentally caught the toe on something. #knittedsocks #canadiandyedyarn #canadiandyer #knitting #knittersofbsky

Another wip completed. Anna M socks knit using my Sock yarn in Pewter, charcoal, and cherry blossom. The second sock is harder to put on since I forgot to use a bigger needle for the fair isle sections like I did with the first one. #knittersofbsky #knitting #knittedsocks

A customer sent me this great picture of her wearing the #CalliopeSweater that she knit from my kit. She knit the smallest size using 2 skeins each of my Silky Sock and Mohair/Silk Select Lace in Deep Pink. Kits can be found yvieknits.ca/kits/ in three different colourways including this one.
