It Takes Balls To Knit

It Takes Balls To Knit Welcome to It Takes balls To Knit! Follow the adventure as one man aspires to knit the world together, one stitch at a time!

Knitting has long been a mainstay in the fiber arts community, and a necessary art with real world, practical implications.For some reason, there is a general misconception that it is dying, and that it is only practiced by old women. Without offending old women, I'm here to show you my balls and hopefully have you come to the realization that it's a cool, fun, practical, and ever growing activity.

Even with CORVID-19 the knit must go on!! Episode13 is up. In it I get to chat with the amazing , yes Sylvia, she of the cardigan/pullover. Wait till you see what she's up to next!! I also visit the only steam powered weaving mill in the world!! Knitreel is back but PLEASE read the description for updates on postponed/cancelled events.

The new Episode of It Takes Balls To Knit the Show is up. I'd like to note however, that along with the cancelled events, FibresWest is also cancelled because BC has a mandate to cancel all gatherings of more that 250 people. I was unable to edit this before the episode was uploaded.
There is good news though - it has a segment featuring Sylvia Watts Cherry and a visit to the ONLY steam powered weaving mill in the world!!
I know we are all concerned about COVID-19 but the knit MUST go on! I will have a blog post up later regarding other events happening in Vancouver in wake of this late breaking news.
Here's the link for Ep-13 (ironically it's a Friday the 13th, lol)

Episode 12 is up (link in bio)! Warning: You may see double at certain parts of the video! πŸ˜‰
In this episode learn to Navajo knit and visit Canada's longest operating yarn shop - , and in my opinion, one of the best anywhere!!
I also get to have a brilliant conversation with about designing, writing a book, mens knitting, and inclusion in the industry. He has some good advice for anyone wanting to be a designer as well.
And also, you can even get the shirt off my back! Check in to find out how!
Hugzzz 😎
