Lakeview Knitting Co.

I'm baaaaaaack!!!! It's been over two months since I last posted... You guys, I needed a BREAK. Thanks to everyone who reached out to check on me, I sure love this maker community!... When I saw Jill post the tester call for her new pattern, I knew it was exactly what I needed! I love how it looks, and now that I've started knitting it, I couldn't love it more. Jill's patterns are always so smart, with end products that look amazing, but are also so fun to knit. Check out the texture just starting to peek out!! Watch for this one to be released, you will love it too!!! PS this toque will be available when it's done, let me know if you want to reserve it!

Cowls! I've got cowls! I just uploaded all my stock on my website, including a few cowls! And I have a discount code if you order a toque and cowl together - use the code "BUNDLE" to get 10% off! Check them out at www.lakeviewknitting.ca. All cowls are made of super soft, super squishy merino wool, and this Ivy Cowl is my very favourite! They are all available at my pop-up shop at Kintec, or you can order online....

If it wasn't toque weather before, it sure is now!!! It snowed allllllll night and we woke up to the most snow yet! Power outages, slippery roads, winter is here! This is another of my very favourites, and this one is in my own collection. But I have an identical one right now at my pop-up shop, or you can order a custom one from my website.... This turquoise has my heart for sure, and this giant squishy cable pattern is incredible!

LIVE You can now get your very own kit to make my Sandstone Headwarmer! Check out all the colour choices. Some have only one or two kits available, so if you see one you love, grab it! This is a very beginner-friendly project, and with my online video tutorials you can even learn to knit while you make it!... And even if you're an experienced knitter, this is still a beautiful, speedy project that is great for building stock. Or Christmas gifts, stocking stuffers, one in every colour for yourself... For now the pattern is only available as part of the kit, but I will release it separately as well eventually. All the details are on my website (www.lakeviewknitting.ca), and if you want me to make one for you instead, the custom listing for ordering a headwarmer is live as well. I hope you love it as much as I do!!!!! Thanks to my testers: Gaie @yarninhandcreations, and my mom Maureen! . . . . . . . . . . #shuswapshoplocal #salmonarm #sandstoneheadwarmer #earwarmer #knitearwarmer #knittingkit #diyknittingkit #knitspo #nevernotknitting #knittersofinstagram #knitsagram #bcknittersofinstagram #bcknittersofig #knit #knitwear #slowfashion #winterfashion #yarn #canadianmade #madeinbc #handmade #malabrigoyarn #merinowool #luxurywool

Quick!!! Someone please buy this beauty before I keep it!!! I'm so torn with this one, this is a really unique skein of this colourway and I don't think there will be another like it. The good news is, I might be able to squeak out a #sandstoneheadwarmer!! This toque is available at my pop-up shop at Kintec (info in my bio), or dm me to grab it.... Have you noticed I'm on a Looking Glass Hat kick lately? You all love these as much as I do, and I love knitting them, so let's keep this train going!!

Reflecting Today is a quiet day for me, a time to think and reflect. Remembering the sacrifices that were made, and hoping we never have to experience what previous generations did. And of course with quiet, there is always knitting as well. It calms me, focuses my thoughts, and brings me back to myself.... Hope you're all doing what you need to today, and taking some time to reflect as well.

Ready for pickup!!! This custom order is my last Stay Wild Beanie until the spring, and what a way to finish!!! You guys have loved this design, and I'm excited to offer them again once we head out the other side of winter!... If today is any indication, the Shuswap is in for serious winter this year! We got several inches of snow overnight and it's a winter wonderland today! Stay tuned for some awesome snow pics this week! How's the snow where you are, and how do you feel about it?

Ready, set... Yarn pics done Video tutorials recorded Pattern finished... Getting so close to releasing my Sandstone Headwarmer knitting kits! Some colours will only have quantities of 1 or 2, so you'll have to be quick! I'm aiming for later this week, but if you join my email list you'll get advance notice. Just go to my website (link in bio) and scroll down to the bottom. You also get 10% off your first order when you join! I include an option to remove the needles if you already have some, so you can just get the yarn and pattern. If you want to make more than one and need needles, order a full kit and then do the others without the needles. I'll adjust shipping as necessary. Check out the samples, these are such a quick project and my video tutorials will even teach you to knit! Which colour would you make or love to get?? I will have custom orders opening online for these too, if you don't want to make your own. Same thing, get on the email list to have early access!

This yarn... I have been knitting non-stop with Malabrigo Rasta for a year and a half, and I am still in awe of the colours every single day. I know how hard this question is, but... Do you have a favourite?? I have probably a top 5, and I'm not sure I could narrow it down more than that!... This is another Sandstone Headwarmer ready for pickup, it's a special request and I'm in love! You all have the best ideas!

Give me all the sunshine!!!! Woke up to a frosty but incredibly beautiful sunny morning, and had to sneak in some pictures before work! I'm finalizing my Sandstone Headwarmer pattern to get it ready for my knitting kits, and I hope to have it available for order next week. It's a super quick project, and great for learning to knit! ... Make sure you're on my email list to find out first, and get the best availability for colour options! (Sign up on my website - you also get 10% off your first order when you join!) What do you think? Would you buy the kit, or the headwarmer already made up? Many of you have already spoken, I'm overwhelmed at all the orders I have, thank you so much! I'm so happy you're as excited as I am!

The most beautiful custom order! I love seeing your requests come together! This pattern isn't one of my regulars for this season, but when a special client asks... It's hard to let this one go, the yarn and pattern show each other off so well (and you know I love my neutrals)!... This one is definitely spoken for, but lots of other beauties are stocked up in my pop-up shop at Kintec!

Sandstone is a hit!!! I have orders for several more already, before I even have samples knitted up! Thank you so much for your interest and support!!! I will definitely make up a kit as well, as soon as I can get the pattern written up. On my way home I realized how epic this sunset was tonight so I ran out to catch the end of it! Check out the last one to see, but these pics are not doing it justice. So thankful for this beautiful place we live! (And yes, the snow from la...st week is allllll gone!)

Here she is!!! In apparently the least sneaky sneak peek ever, yes my last post was a headband/earwarmer/headwarmer! Every single one of you was right! Meet the Sandstone Headwarmer! (I think... still trying to choose between all those similar terms!) I have been trying to find the perfect pattern for over a year, and I finally came up with one that I love! Super simple and quick to knit, but with details that take it up a notch. Perfect with a messy bun or ponytail, or eve...n with your hair down. I'll do a little photo shoot soon to show you how versatile it is! This one is allllll mine, and a couple of others are on their way to their new home! I can make these in any colour that I do my toques in, let me know if you want to order one. I will have some stocked at my pop-up shop as soon as I can knit them up! I'm also thinking of adding these to my learn to knit kits! Something more exciting than a dishcloth , but not as involved as a toque. What do you think??
