Yup, not only is the bricks & mortar location moving, but so is our blog! Blogger has been great, but it's time to upgrade to something with a few more bells & whistles.<br />
<br />
From now on, we will be broadcasting out news from <a href="https://knitomaticyarns.wordpress.com/">https://knitomaticyarns.wordpress.com/</a><br />
<br />
If you are subscribed to our newsletter you'll still keep receiving our updates, and we have migrated the old blog posts over to the new blog (although the formatting might be off). We also have a link on the new blog to the old one. This blog feed will not be deleted, it'll still be around, we just aren't going to add any more new posts to it.<br />

I just finished blocking our <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/knitomatic/groovy-dk-and-aran-weight-2" target="_blank">Groovy</a> made with <a href="http://knitomatic.myshopify.com/collections/yarn/products/noro-silk-garden-sock-solo" target="_blank">Noro Silk Garden Sock Solo</a>. The yarn is deceptively puffy, and we accidentally used the wrong needle size (3.5mm/US4) and it came out a bit too tight for my liking. You can go up a size or two, to 3.75mm or 4mm needles (US5 or 6) and it'll worked great! The pattern was simple, not at all complex, well written and easy to follow. You can make your wrap/scarf deeper without doing math. The yarn is pretty, slightly tweedy, a slightly textured single ply. I tried blocking with both Soak and Eucalan and preferrred the Eucalan for this yarn - it makes it soft and pouffs it up. The garment is very flexible, it can be worn as a scarf, wrap or shawl, a great accessory for any wardrobe!</div>

If you were in Toronto on Sunday at 5:30am you may have noticed the weather was less than hospitable for a fun charity bike ride. It was about 8 degrees celsius (46 Fahrenheit) and teaming rain. But Canadians are tough, and after the rain eased up a smidge people were eager to hit the road. Note: my helmet cover is pointy because I didn't get a chance to remove the light on the top of my helmet.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A quick overview: the ride starts at 6:30am, downtown near the lake, at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE), snakes across the bottom of the city along the Gardiner Expressway, then the hard part starts as it goes uphill along the Don Valley Parkway up to highway 401, and then you go back down, the same way you came up. There are three routes: 25km (15.5miles), 50km (31miles), and 75km (46.5 miles) for the truly hardcore. The 25 is pretty easy because you don't hit the tough hills until after the point where they turn around and go back. We did the 50km. The 75km is really tough, they extra distance is made by repeating the hardest, uphill part of the course. I saw one guy on a super fancy road bike flying by; I like to think think he was an athlete and probably did the 75km twice!</div>

The ride is big, there were 15,000 riders this year, and it was EXTREMELY well organized. Because of the rain we hit the road late, and thus hit the port-o-potties early. </div>

I'm a commuter cyclist, I ride to work as long as the weather allows, and I'm used to riding in the rain. I have all kinds of wonderful rain gear from <a href="http://www.mec.ca/Main/home.jsp" target="_blank">MEC</a> (coat, pants, hat, special mitts, gloves, booties, ankle warmers, etc - it's a little like getting dressed for skiing, lots of swishing nylon fabric), but riding in the rain for two and a half to three hours isn't a party. We bore down and took pictures again when we were in the home stretch (and had a pretty back-drop of the city). </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Unfortunately, because we were so focused on finishing I didn't get a picture of the pavilions that are set up at the half-way points. They play exciting music, have tents with bananas & water, energy bars, bike repairs, and port-o-potties as far as the eye can see. It's a nice place to pat yourself on the back for making it up the big hill.</div>

When you complete the ride you return to the CNE to a celebration! Excited volunteers and booming motivational music welcomes you home. Sponsor tents are set up with food & other stuff (I never have a chance to see what else is being given out). VIP fundraisers (over $1000 raised) return to a brunch, where an entire building (I want to say the food building?) is filled with tables & chairs, which are in turn filled with tired cyclists. It's amazing to see how many people are committed to this cause. Well, I guess it's not *that* surprising. Who doesn't know someone who's had a heart attack, stroke, bypass surgery, angioplasty, or a heart defect? </div>

Last but not least, here's the story about the medals (above). Because of the bad weather this year we started later than normal, and when we pulled into the parking lot I saw a few people with these gold medals around their necks. I thought they must be among the first finishers, the people who completed the ride in record time or something sporty and important. When we were completing our ride I saw more medals and thought "Wow, these people are really sticking around for a long time after. Is there some kind of ceremony for them?" I passed through the food tent, crammed a banana in my face, and saw a bunch of people standing in line, waiting for something at another tent. What kind of sponsor swag was so good that these tired & hungry people would stop to line up? Medals - by the armload. I got two for my niece & nephew. Not having been an athletic kid, I've never really know what it feels like to wear a medal (the only award I ever received was a plaque from the Toronto Geography Teachers Association). I've gotta say, it doesn't feel bad.</div>

I don't know about you, but I love looking at rainbowy, colour combined projects. They're rainbow eye-candy. People keep asking me what <a href="http://knitomatic.myshopify.com/collections/yarn/Madeline-Tosh" target="_blank">Madeline Tosh Unicorn Tails</a> are used for, and the best, most all encompassing answer is eye-candy. That said, I don't often wear all the colours of the rainbow at the same time. Most people don't, so I've assembled some colour combinations that work together. They're still colourful, but a slightly restricted palette.<br />
<br />
Madeline Tosh shades are kind of tricky, they don't all compliment each other. The colour combinations I've assembled are based on skeins I ogled and considered for long stretches and that actually compliment each other in real life. If you feel like I neglected some colours palettes it's because I didn't feel the actual skeins worked well together. This doesn't mean you shouldn't use those colours, they're just outliers to my eye. Please note: based on the actual dye lots we received, the colours <i>Onyx</i> and <i>Dirty Panther</i> are very close and are almost indistinguishable.<br />
<br />
A regular scarf would normally require about 200g/400m of fingering weight yarn.<br />

I wear this shawl all the time in the store, so much in fact that we had to make a second sample for the store. People are constantly asking me what it is and how to make it. It's a <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/prism-wrap" target="_blank">free pattern</a> from Ravelry, and is really easy - the yarn does all the work. Our samples were made with two skeins of <a href="http://knitomatic.myshopify.com/collections/yarn/products/noro-silk-garden-sock" target="_blank">Noro Silk Garden Sock</a> in two colourways: one main colour and one contrast colour (you can also use <a href="http://knitomatic.myshopify.com/collections/yarn/products/noro-silk-garden-sock-solo" target="_blank">Noro Silk Garden Sock Solo</a> for the contrast colour). The colours are carried up the side and alternated every other row - no cutting yarn, no weaving in endless ends. Added bonus, it's on sale until the end of May!</div>

Fresh off the blocking mat, we just finished up this shawl and it is great! The pattern is FREE, <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lalas-simple-shawl" target="_blank">Lala's Simple Shawl</a>. We made it extra big, and it is super cozy and a truly stunning wrap. I didn't realize that when triangular shawls are made really, really big, they don't really look very triangular when worn. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We used the new<a href="http://knitomatic.myshopify.com/collections/yarn/products/noro-kureopatora" target="_blank"> Noro Kureopatora</a> yarn and it was PERFECT! It's a single ply, woollen spun yarn, which means it's light, airy, and warm. It feels a bit coarse in the ball, but it softens up in your hands while knitting, and even more so after washing in <a href="http://knitomatic.myshopify.com/collections/soap/products/eucalan-no-rinse-delicate-wash" target="_blank">Eucalan</a> and blocking. It's also got amazing yardage, we only needed 3 skeins to make this great big wrap! Oh, and the yarn is on<a href="http://knitomatic.myshopify.com/" target="_blank"> <b>SALE</b></a> until the end of May! If you want a Summer friendly version you can substitute 4 skeins of <a href="http://knitomatic.myshopify.com/collections/yarn/products/noro-taiyo" target="_blank">Noro Taiyo</a> (also on sale).</div>

The pattern (<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lalas-simple-shawl" target="_blank">Lala's Simple Shawl</a>) is definitely beginner/novice friendly, so much so that I got a little bored and threw in a few modifications: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Instead of increasing with a yarn over down the middle, we used a backwards loop cast on.</li>
<li>I got bored with the stitch pattern and threw in some variety: see stitch & crossed stitch (see our <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lalas-simple-shawl" target="_blank">Ravelry</a> page for the nitty gritty). </li>

Last month we brought our Slouchy Angora Hat Kit to the Toronto Knitter's Frolic, and it was such a hit that we made it available in our <a href="http://knitomatic.myshopify.com/products/slouchy-angora-hat-kit" target="_blank"><b>Online Store</b></a>! Plus, until the end of May it's on SALE for 25% Off!</div>

Our <a href="http://knitomatic.myshopify.com/products/slouchy-angora-hat-kit" target="_blank"><b>Slouchy Angora Hat</b></a> is casual comfort with a bit of sumptuous fuzz. Wear it with the brim turned up or down for super-slouch. </div>

<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 0.21cm;">
<span style="color: black;">The pattern is knit with 2 strands of DK weight angora yarn held together. Two colours are blended to create a depth of colour and marl. </span>Due to it's nature, angora is very stretchy and it will stretch with wear, so don't worry about the hat being too small. </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For your Spring & Summer textile pleasure, we've brought back an old favourite, <a href="http://knitomatic.myshopify.com/products/handmaiden-silk-rumple" target="_blank"><b>Handmaiden Silk Rumple</b></a> (also know as Swiss Mountain Silk Rumple). It's
made from 100% silk, has a silky sheen, and a light, nubbly texture
that makes it easy to work with and a delight to look at and wear. The texture also lends a hand in a few other ways; it makes it easier to knit with (there's more there for your needle to grab), and knits up beautifully on a broad selection of
needle sizes, which means you can really stretch a skein! We made
<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/knitomatic/bias-shawl" target="_blank">our Bias Shawl</a> (below) with 7mm/US10.75 needles.</span></div>

you can use up to a 7mm/US10.75 because of the texture</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm super inspired by these spring/summer cardigans designed by <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/designers/heidi-kirrmaier" target="_blank">Heidi Kirrmaier</a>! I'm even considering ripping back a linen cardi in the works and starting again as one of these. According to Heidi, if you purchase both patterns (either
together or if you bought the other one previously) you will receive
40% off the second one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They are worked from the top down, entirely
seamlessly, and are suitable for a knitter with some experience with top down knitting. The instructions comprise only a few repetitive elements,
so it’s easy to find your knitting rhythm. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been thinking about this design, </span><a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lenveloppe" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">L'Enveloppe</a><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, for a little while, it's been in the back of my mind since I came across it in a search on </span><a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lenveloppe" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Ravelry</a><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. Since I discovered it I've been seeing it in the flesh (or fibre, to be accurate). It looks good on everyone, and everyone who makes it is happy with it! That's what I like to hear! It's written with several features:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The designer, Sally Melville, is extremely experienced, and her directions are always great (she's a wonderful instructor, I love her books). The pattern isn't free, but I think it is very worthwhile, and once people see your <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lenveloppe" target="_blank">Enveloppe</a> you'll be receiving requests for more (a good holiday gift?).

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made some quick Rikke Hats for my niece & nephew last fall, but getting pictures of those squirrely kids took substantially longer.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The hat is very stretchy and elastic, a great garment that has grown with the kids! Also an added benefit, g</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">arter stitch is an excellent way to deal with yarns with colourways that pool.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rikochan is a very versatile spring & summer wrap, made for fun knitting and wearing. We made ours with <a href="http://knitomatic.myshopify.com/collections/yarn/products/berroco-maya?variant=1210915052" target="_blank">Berroco Maya</a>, an extremely soft, light and airy cotton yarn, perfect for all year wear. We made our <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rikochan" target="_blank">Rikochan</a> exactly to directions, used 7 skeins, but had the better part of a whole skein of each colour left over (you could cheat and get away with 5 skeins, it's a generously sized garment).</span></div>
