The Twisted Stitcher

Pixel is supervising some pre-shift knitting.... 2 more days of work and for the first time in 4 years I have Christmas Eve and Christmas Day completely work free! I am so excited to be able to relax with the family! #catsofinstagram #cat #catstagram #siamesecat #siamesecatsofinstagram #prettycat #knittersofinstagram #knitknitknit #knittingaddict #cableknitting #knittersgonnaknit #knitstagram #knitfastdiewarm

Love repeat customers...after getting her slippers, a customer order 2 pair for her friends. How fitting is this red for Christmas?? #christmasgifts #etsy #etsyseller #etsylove #knittingaddict #knittersgonnaknit #gifts #giftsforher #knittersofravelry #knittersofinstagram #christmasgifts #knitfastdiewarm #knitting #slippers #knitslippers #slipperboots #etsynanaimo #madeincanada #canadianmade #handmadeknits #shopsmall #knitknitknit #knitstagram #knittersoftheworld #giftideas #christmasiscoming #giftsforfriends

Custom orders.... make me happy! This time it was an off-white pair (even though the first picture looks pink.....) I have 2 pairs of cranberry red ones up next! #nevernotknitting #etsyseller #etsylove #etsycanada #etsyshop #etsysellersofinstagram #etsynanaimo #knittingaddict #knittersofinstagram #knittersgonnaknit #giftideas #knitstagram #knitfastdiewarm #warmfeet #supportsmallbusiness #handmadeincanada #handmadeknits #handmade #handmadewithlove #cableknitting #dropsdesign #warmfeetwarmheart #knittersofravelry #canadianmade #madeincanada #etsyhandmade #etsystore #etsystock #smallshop #customorder

Had an idea for a headband last night and it turned out as SQUISHY as I'd hoped! Charcoal and mustard yellow is a nice combination, don't you think? #lionbrandyarn #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #knittersgonnaknit #knitting #knit #knittingaddict #winterknits #winteriscoming #handmadeknits #knitstagram #mustardyellow #yellowandgrey #squishy #headband #earwarmer #loveknitting #iloveknitting #yarnaddict #yarnlove

This pattern was quick and easy! Made while watching TV the other night.

I wanted a "Welcome September" post for the first, but I was working....Found this adorable hat pattern and with super bulky yarn, it knit up very quickly. I didn't bind off because I want the colours to run yellow to brown. It reminded me of the turning leaves. #mandalayarn #mandalathickandquick #mandalapocketwatch #superbulky #superbulkyyarn #knittersofig #knittingaddict #fallknits #fallaccessories #fallvibes #knitandbehappy #handmadevancouverisland #handknit #handknitlove #canadianknitter #canadianknitters #knittersgonnaknit #knitter #knitallthethings #knittingseason

Do you feel it?? That little cool breeze when I opened my kitchen window this morning was DE-lightful! Fall is almost here and I'm so excited for the changes it brings. My yarn inspiration is back so I knit up a CeeCee Earwarmer. I'll be posting more finished ones in my Etsy shop, but my knitting friends can buy my pattern too!

Since I work full time from home, I don't get any snow days, but that doesn't stop me from knitting! I have some red, white, black and grey CeeCee Earwarmers ready to ship! A great alternative to the messy bun hats I've been making for 2 years.... $15 each plus $3 for shipping (can ship 1-4 headbands for $3) If you knit (awesome!), the pattern is $5 here:...

It's officially posted! My CeeCee Earwarmer is part of Ravelry.

Soooooo...what do we think of this headband/headwrap? I've spent 2+ years knitting the CC Beanies, but I hate hats for myself. I can pull off a headband though. I wrote up a pattern, think I need some testers? . #headwrap #knitpattern #knittersofig #knitting #knittingaddict #knitfastdiewarm #tester #originalpattern #copycatheadband #ccheadband #knittersofetsy #knitheadband #knittersofravelry #knittersgonnaknit #knittersofinstagram #knittersoftheworld #yarnlove #yarnaddict #yarnaddiction #yarnlover #patterns

Happy New Year! For the month of January, I'll be giving 20% off of my listings! More stock will be added as I go through it all.

100% wool "Thermis" neck warmer/cowl, sized kids/petite. It's not nearly cold enough here to wear these... yet....but great if you're not a fan of bulky scarves. The buttons are sourced from our tiny town thrift shop.

How I spent my day off.... it's heavenly. I really, REALLY needed a break. This quick knit cowl "Thermis" by Kris Knits on Ravelry is one of my favourites. Patons Classic Wool Worsted makes it that much warmer and I've sold quite a few to the much colder East Coast. I have a few done that just need buttons and I can put them on Etsy this weekend. . #nevernotknitting #patonsclassicwool #thermis #knittersofig #handknit #winteriscomingknitfaster #purewool #cat #staywarmmyfriends #etsyseller #etsycanada #madeincanada #dayoff #siamesecat #lilacpointsiamese #shopsmall #shoplocal #handmadegifts #handmadelove #waffleknit #krisknits #knittingaddict #knitcowl #handknitcowl #selfcare #needabreak #snuggles

Thank you to the generous people who place (and patiently wait for) large orders from small businesses. This order for 3 pairs of slippers and 3 messy bun hats is being shipped out this week, after FINALLY getting my buttons..... For what it's worth, the profit from this sale was used to purchase winter coats for my kids. . #shopsmall #handknitlove #handmadegifts #etsyseller #etsymaker #messybunbeanie #dropsdesign #slippers #knitslippers #knittersofig #knitfastdiewarm #knittersofinstagram #cableknitting #messybuns #shophandmade #handmadeisbestmade #handmadewithlove #handmade #knittingaddict #knitstagram #handcrafted #madeincanada #notmadeinchina #etsycanada #vanislehandmade #vancouverisland #etsynanaimo #knitallthethings #warmfeet #warmhead

All these colour options, and I still couldn't convince Cyan it was touque season yet....Apparently "No snow = no hat". . #messybun #messybunbeanie #messybuns #handknitlove #knittersofig #knittersofinstagram #nevernotknitting #etsymaker #yarnart #winteriscomingknitfaster #handmadeisbestmade #handmadelove #fallfashion2019 #winterfashion #warmhead #staywarmmyfriends #staywarm #knitfastdiewarm #knitallthethings #shopsmall #etsyshop #etsyseller #etsy #etsycanada #etsynanaimo

Who needs a mannequin when you have kids? This year, she's dressed as a shadow and we still had some daylight before trick or treating to model my cowl. I'll make sure we use the morph suit more than 4 hours this year. . #halloween #halloween2019 #halloweencostume #halloweenspirit #mannequin #craftshowdisplay #morphsuit #knittersofig #knittingmodels #photoprops #mykidrocks #shadow #cinchcowl #staywarm #winteriscoming #fallfashion2019 #fallfashion

Just made it! Less than an hour before trick or treating and this #cinchcowl test knit for @homebodyknits is done!

Attempt 2 of my #cinchcowl test knit by @homebodyknits is going much better. Partly because this time I cast on the CORRECT number of stitches. Cyan said this one looks "Mermaid-y". Should finish it in time to wear for Trick O' Treating tomorrow night.

Are you holiday shopping yet?? It's almost November, so I'm slowly starting to get my things together.....If you're still looking to support handmade shops, look no further! I've sold a few of the infinity scarves, but I still have 4 left that are ready to ship. (2 of the centre scarf are available, if you wanted to match your BFF.) $35 each, or 2/$60 (plus shipping if required)

For some reason I had abandoned this project with less than 10 rows to complete..... finished it off and the colors remind me of the shades of leaves I've seen this fall. Now I'm torn... sell it or keep it?? . #fallcolours #hilltopscarf #crochetallday #lionbrandmandala #lionbtandmandala #crochet #crochetofinstagram #fallfashion #winteriscomingcrochetfaster #lionnrand #shopsmall #handmade #handmadegifts #etsyseller #etsy #etsynanaimo #infinityscarf #infinityscarf #crochetinfinityscarf #itsleafy #fallfashion2019 #giftideas #handmadeisbetter #handmadeislove

FINISHED! Cyan is going to model it later but I had to post my first attempt of @homebodyknits Cinch Cowl pattern. It's a nice quick, satisfying knit and I have enough time to knock out attempt 2 on my days off.

Lucky enough to be a test knitter for this #cinchcowl pattern by @homebodyknits Work and life have me distracted but I can't wait to finish this before it gets too cold.

Is it FALL yet? No.... but soon enough you will need one of these FABULOUS infinity scarves, handmade by me The Twisted Stitcher. Get them for $35 each, or 2/$60.
