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.

Main body for a sweater with a Mosaic and striped pattern in purple and dark green.

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 #TataMatilda sweater for the grey prompt for #showmeyourknits . I like pairing grey with bright colours. #knitbsky #knitting

Short sleeve handknit sweater with the top is bright pink and bottom grey. In the yoke the flowers are grey in the top half and pink in the bottom half.

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.

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

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

My next show is on May 3rd in Spencerville, ON which is just off the 416. I will have some new yarns and samples debuting at this show so the next two months are going to be super busy. #yvieknitsyarns #ontariofibeshow #canadiandyerCanadians

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 pair of handknit socks with black cuffs, heels (one is pink) and toes with a small fair isle section with pink flowers on grey background near cuff and toes and the rest of the socks has thin grey and black stripes.

ONTARIO! TIME TO VOTE! 🗳️ We STILL don’t have air quality monitoring in Ontario schools/buses. We STILL don’t have air quality measures to reduce pollutants & CO2 in Ontario schools/buses. We are STILL sick and tired. VOTE for a better future for our kids. They’re counting on us. #OnPoli #OntEd

A graphic from Ontario School Safety shows an illustration of nine squares with blue, yellow, and dark blue backgrounds in a checkerboard-like style. The text in each square reads different facts about air quality with representative icons such as water bottles, a tree, lungs, viruses, smoke plumes, a fan and filter, a caution sign, a school house, and a hand holding a heart. Below the checkerboard layout, the text states, "TIME TO CLEAN THE AIR," with the website OntarioSchoolSafety.com and a note giving credit to the original creators of this type of graphic that was modified for Ontario schools.

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.

Today is packing day for the Chesterville Spin-In tomorrow. This is one of my favourite events because there are lots of chairs setup so people can bring their spinning wheels, spindles and knitting with them and stay for the day while shopping.

My latest FO,the #FrameYourFaceCowl knit using my Merino Worsted yarn in the Deep In The Forest and Marmalade colourways. The result is such a cozy and squishy cowl which was a lot of fun to knit.
