Linda Ryan gave NONIA a beautiful Christmas gift, by decorating the shop windows for the season with her personal collection of charming nostalgic items. The windows are amazing - you have to see them! (We’ll try to post photos here, but it’s tricky to get good photos through the glass). Thank you so much Linda, for all the thought & effort that went into this! You can read the story behind this in Linda’s own words below...

Wow, such an interesting article touching on so many dimensions: ...stereotypes about knitting; ...the move away from fast-fashion towards sustainable goods; ...community-building & social activism... As a sustainable practice that builds community, healing and even activism, all signs point to knitting only growing in popularity in the coming years, particularly as efforts to avoid the fast fashion industry increase among consumers.

Have you ever had a good look at this fabulous mural on the Mary Brown's building downtown?? We love the fun vibe and cheery colours. It’s hard to get the full view when you’re driving by, but now that there’s a Pedestrian Mall on Water Street, this is one of the sights you can easily take in! #loveDowntown

We have our Centenary Knitters’ Blanket postcards! Each of our knitters will receive a complimentary one, and the rest are available for sale at $1.00 each (or 12 for $10).
