Calgary Herold Article

I arrived to work and found a copy of the Calgary Herold Neighbour's section. Last week, Diana and I met with Claire Young and chit chatted about the craze that is the ruffle scarf. Everyone has been making these scarves and their popularity is just growing and growing.


The table is showing (from bottom to top) - Frill Seeker, Frill Seeker, Triana Lux, Phildar Tango, Rozetti Spectra, Frill Seeker. I am wearing the Frill Seeker knit sideways and Diana is wearing the Starry Night. I was knitting with the Katia Triana and Diana was knitting with the new Twisted from Frill Seeker.

We showed Clair how easy it was for anyone to make and that we had even taught non-knitters to make a ruffle scarf. It is amazing that every generation seems to like them - from tweens to the elderly. Not very many things affect the knitting world in a way that is multigenerational. Looking back, it feels very much like the eyelash yarn craze from quite a few years ago!

They have been promising quite a few interesting ones for fall - I guess we'll just have to wait and see what is new & fab!

I was so stoked to have a shout out about my designing and my website!

Here is a link to the article.
