  • June changes and challenges

    Hey, all! Quick update for Sunday night. The passing of my dad has caused a re-think of where Stitch Revival Studio is going and what I want it to be. There’s been so many challenges to dealing with my own grief, let alone that of my mom and sister and our families, it has all impacted my view on things and my goals. I’ve deleted some of my social media channels as they have become distractions from what really matters. It’s more important for me to focus on the real and the now. This will begin to be reflected on where I focus my energies. I’ve been accepted into a…

  • Thank you, Dad, for everything

    Greetings! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything. I thought it was time. It’s my birthday today and I’m ready to write again. My dad, Bob Young passed last month after a short battle with cancer. In the end, it was his heart that gave out and he didn’t make it to survive the treatments. Dad was providing 24-hour care for my mom for a long time. He was, until the very end, a devoted husband and father. This past year has been a hard one. My focus on Stitch Revival Studio wavered, I can admit, as I struggled emotionally to meet demands and expectations and balance everything while being…

    New knitted mitts kit in the works

    Greetings and a very happy holidays to all! This past year has been one of change, challenges and uncertainties, for myself and I’m sure for many of you too. I regret that some projects I had meant to complete in 2021, thanks to the challenges both of COVID-19 restrictions and personal health issues, have had to be put on hold or indefinitely postponed. I’m sure many of you can identify with this situation. I am looking forward to 2022 with a positive feeling of hope. I wanted to drop a line and reconnect to let you know there’s one project I’ve been able to push through the challenges of 2021……

  • Dress of Many Patterns – lace pattern #1

    I thought it was time to write an update on the Dress of Many Patterns and share my own lace sampler swatch in progress. The pattern comes from PieceWork and is a recreation of a piece in a knitted lace sampler book featured in the magazine in 2016. The first row of the eight-row repeat staggers the diagonal of eyelets formed; the pattern is worked in multiples of five stitches and an eight-row repeat. The stitch count remains the same – five stitches per repeat – for each repeat of the pattern throughout. If you’re interesting in trying it yourself, the pattern is below. Gauge: one 5-st repeat and 8…

  • Huron Wristers – an update

    I was working at finalizing & editing my pattern for the Huron Wristers, a pair of fingerless gloves. Gotta get it ready for a test stitcher or two. Wool is from Steele Wool Farm . Colourwork is based on a pair of knitted gloves in the collection of Huron County Museum.

  • A dress of many patterns

    Hi, everyone! Today on the blog it’s all about the wedding dress recreation project: a dress of many patterns. Last month, I shared the idea of recreating a vintage wedding dress from the collection of the Huron County Museum & Historic Gaol. The plan is to recreate the basic pattern of the dress using swatches of recreated needlework items. So, it’s a reproduction on two levels. The needlework techniques used in the swatches will depend on the skills of the volunteers that take part. If there are tatting experts, for example, tatting reproduction swatches could be worked up and incorporated into the dress. The backstory to this idea is here…
