I made these super cute twist headbands last week! These ones went off to but you can DM me to place an order (whatever colour you want!). I’ll get them on my website soon too, but for now I’m pretty comfy on the couch surrounded by yarn, books and candles 💁🏻‍♀️

It has been a hot minute or ten. Please forgive me!

It’s a blizzardy day in Manitoba and I’m watching Christmas movies and crocheting a big restock for , so I figured it was high time for a grid post 💁🏻‍♀️

Even though I’m not consistently social-mediaing, I am consistently knitting. My website is fully stocked and ready to aid your holiday shopping (link in bio).

Okay, back to watching Single All the Way now! 😘

‘Twas the Saturday before Christmas when all through the condo, Shantel was doing all the mixing and stirring and making and wrapping and singing and snacking.

Okay, I’m not great at rhyming but I am real good at procrastinating! Anyone else in my camp?

Everything on my website and in the “now available” highlight is available for local pickup until December 23 — I’m here to help my fellow procrastinators!

Raise your hand if this is not your favourite December 🙋🏻‍♀️ I wish we could all be having some cozy holiday parties full of friends and family, good food and drinks, making good memories. We can stuff have the food and drinks I suppose!

Raise your hand again if you’re trying your darndest to make the most of what we Manitobans have been dealt, despite just needing to scream into a pillow some days 🙋🏻‍♀️

My website and inbox are open for orders! Check the “now available” highlight for the new new 🎁

I’m wading through how I’m going to do things going forward. There’s so many questions — how am I going to deal with photography in a condo that gets no natural light, do I need a new logo, a new website, should I delete my Etsy, should I do story sales... the list goes on! But while I work out those details, the knitting doesn’t stop!

Keep an eye on Instagram stories and the “Now Available” highlights for the new new. The classics are still on my website and Etsy (links in bio) and available from and ☺️

2020 is the year of pivots. For every single human, for every single business. And here I was, just chugging along, knowing full well that things were feeling a bit stagnant with Hook & Barrel, but not really sure what I wanted to do about it.

It’s time for Hook & Barrel’s pivot. I’m done with carefully curated collections with carefully selected colour palettes. Its exactly this that’s made my business stagnant. Feeling like anything I introduced had to fit carefully into a cohesive product line. It had to be mass-produce-able, quickly. And it had to be stuff that I enjoy the process of making, as that will always be paramount.

Going forward, I’m still going to make the signature toques, scarves and cowls, but I’m letting go of the rules and also making whatever I feel like making at that time. You’ll see a lot more home decor. You’ll see a lot more variety. You’ll see some items that are one-offs. And you’ll see my love for fibre crafts shining through at all times. More to come.

Let me be real clear on where Hook & Barrel stands — Black lives matter, racism and white privilege exist, police brutality exists and funding should be taken from police and directed to social programming.

White people have a big role in this uprising, and while speaking up with your own words and actions can feel daunting, because of a fear of saying or doing something wrong — that position itself is privilege. And silence and inaction is telling.

I’ve been sharing resources in my stories, and taking other actions in private, but I wanted to be sure it is very clear where we stand on these issues. I am sorry for not making this post sooner.

We are extraordinarily privileged to have not had our work impacted by the pandemic so far. Both Jordan and I are able to work from home. Hook & Barrel is not my primary source of income, and the season for our goodies was winding down anyways. Lots of others are far less lucky.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re able to, consider making purchase decisions that will directly impact others in our community. I’ll be sharing ideas in my stories. Lots of local companies are offering delivery or curb-side pickup. Others are offering alternative service delivery, like online yoga classes. Help feed their families and keep their business afloat. Superstore and Costco don’t need your money.

It’s been an embarrassingly long time since my last grid post. Like, please don’t go check the date stamp.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are wild times we’re living in, and I don’t want to add to the clutter in your feeds, because I don’t feel I have anything new or profound to say, but I felt an urge to address current events.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
COVID-19 is shaking our communities. Be kind (to yourself, your family, your neighbours, people on the internet), keep your distance (if not for your sake, then for the sake of those more
vulnerable), and try to manage your mental health. Pick up a new hobby, read a book, clean out the closets, go for a walk, play some board games, get photobooks printed (if you’re anything like me you’ve been putting this off for YEARS). Don’t spend too much time on your phone. Practice gratitude. More on that later. Stay healthy, friends.

*wistfully states off into space while dreaming about all the yarn and knitting on the beach somewhere warm*
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My tree skirt is coming along so nicely guys! I’ll have to show you in stories soon! I wish I had allllllll day long to just sit and knit!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you can’t knit but love knits, send me a DM and we’ll get you the knits or will teach you to knit or just supply the knits 🧶

It is absolutely frigid outside in Manitoba. This morning it was -40, felt like -50. What. Is. That.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stay inside whenever possible, and if you do have to go out (like me), make sure you bundle up. If you’re needing some warm goodies, The Forks Trading Company has been fully restocked, and Made Here and the Fort Garry Hotel have some stuff too.
