  • Jordan

    A while ago I was approached by the wonderful John and Alan at The Fibre Garden to do some design work for them. What a wonderful partnership it’s turned out to be! The first project is a …

  • Full Circle

    Believe it or not I have never knit with anything I’ve spun. This is mostly because I had never spun up enough yardage to make anything. A while ago I did manage to spin up some Romney from Spunky Eclectic. While it isn’t the softest (Romney never is), it sure is pretty. The striping reminds…

  • It’s official!

    I was absolutely speechless (hard to imagine I know!) this morning when I went to Ravelry and saw this:

  • Ho Ho Ho!

    In honour of the two snowflakes that fell in Toronto today, I thought I’d post the pattern  for my Tunisian Christmas decoration that I taught in Kingston, so here you go! The good news is that the class went very well, with the majority of the hookers finishing their Ho’s…sorry couldn’t resist!    

  • You’ve gotta have heart!

  • Stashaholic’s Brain Dead Afghan

      I’m warning you now. This pattern got its name for a reason. It’s a one row repeat. That means you’ll be doing hundreds of rows of the same stitch. If you have a short attention span (like me) you might want to vary it with different colours.   Stashaholic’s Brain Dead Afghan (c)Sherri Bondy…

  • Cro-Quilting

    Quite a few people have asked me about the quilted afghans that I design. While they are a lot of fun to do, remember that each square is made of smaller squares, each with ends to weave in. One afghan I finished had almost 1000 ends to weave in. This is not for the faint…

  • Finally – Something for Me!

    My own freezing toes have resulted in a new pair of slippers.  These are very fast to make – one pair took me around 90 minutes. Why not make some for charity – it’s a great way to use up odds and sodds. Stashaholic’s Slippers (c) Sherri Bondy Hook – 5.5mm Yarn – 2x100g worsted weight…
