Uptown Yarns

09/04/2026

Hi knitters and crocheters! The Comox Valley Healthcare Foundation has reached out again to talk about the Stockings For Seniors program. This time, they are hoping for hats and scarves (but if you’ve already made a lap blanket to donate, that’s ok, too!). So if you want to start your engines, we’ve got almost three months to collect two hundred knitted or crocheted accessories. Use your stash and craft away. Just make sure they are made with washable yarns! ❤️❤️❤️

Another great fundraiser auction item! This is a beautiful bunch of new Knitter’s Pride/KnitPro interchangeable 4” Zing metal circulars that were donated! Six sets of tips - 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5 and 6mm and two cords, key, and end caps. Let’s start the bidding at $25. You have until 9:30 this evening to bid. Bid as many times as you wish, just make sure each bid is in a fresh comment box. And, if you’re out of town and you win, you pay the shipping! Open to Canadian customers only! 🩷🩷🩷

Loving the TGV I made in black Sandnes Lanett… This was a super fun, super fast project! It just took two balls. There is a garter stitch and stocking stitch option on the pattern. I went for the garter option as I wanted it reversible. Pattern by the illustrious 🥰! Pattern is TGV (High Speed Knitting) on Ravelry. We have a ton of yarn options for this one!

This is one of my fave slipper patterns! It’s super easy and super cozy. I like to use a double strand of Galway or Vintage. If you want a simple gift idea to bank for Christmas, this is it! By the way, there are 116 knitting days left until Christmas. You’re welcome!

These slippers are worked flat.
