Important Update

Hey friend, So, we've been dealing with some annoying business-related issues over here at Pip & Pin HQ, and I just wanted to give you a little update. Last month, our Facebook account was hacked in the middle of the night. Luckily, I was notified and able to reset my passwords and everyt...

The Sleeves Make the Sweater

One of the most overlooked things about the earliest sweaters I made was the sleeves. Now, I have always been in search of the perfect sweater, and even as a beginner, I was no different. I was constantly tinking and frogging and making adjustments until I got things just right, because it seeme...

Rainforest Knits

Every year, when it starts feeling a little more like Spring, this is the collection I think about. Rainforest Knits came out in 2019, not long after Katie (my sister and co-founder of Pin & Pin) had moved to Hawai‘i. We realized we were both living in rainforests at the time, hers tropical an...

Why I'm Knitting a Sweater at the Wrong Gauge

A few weeks ago, I cast on a new sweater project, the Rosie Sweater by Le Knit. This one! For this sweater, I'm using a gorgeous wool from Ancient Arts Fibres held with a strand of mohair from Knitting with Olive (my first time knitting a sweater with mohair, can you believe it?!). And be...

How I Make Money as a Knitter

Making money as a small business is hard, and finding room to pay yourself is even harder. I spent many years as a knitter, working at craft markets and selling digital patterns online, and seemingly making a lot of money, only to see it go right back out the door. So, what changed? Well, in s...

A Provisional Cast On for the Perfect Fit

Did you know that you don't have to knit a sweater in the same order as the designer? A few weeks ago, I started knitting the Paul Klee Sweater by Midori Hirose, but there was one thing I knew I wanted to change — the neckband. It has a high neckline, almost mock turtleneck-like, and while it...

2026, a year of ✨joy✨

The other day, I sat at my absolute mess of a desk to answer some emails. Yarn. Everywhere. Swatches, project bags, and errant needles all over. So, being a fresh new year, I wanted a fresh new start. I took everything yarn-related and brought it to my closet for organization. While doing this,...

Hello Edmonton

When I was a teenager, I had a friend whose mom travelled a lot for work. One year for her birthday, she told her to book a flight to wherever her travel points would take us, and she would pay for a hotel for a few days. Our options were Edmonton, Calgary or Kelowna, so we, being 16, obviously ...

Black Friday Starts Today

Yesterday I had so much fun taking photos in a gloriously mossy forest of a new design that'll be coming out this Spring, but I also took the opportunity to shoot some new photos of a few old favourites, like the ultra-giftable Aurora Headband. And the best part? It's part of our Black Fr...
