All Sold Out!!



I would like to introduce you to the work of my dear friend Anita from Adoornments (www.adoornments@etsy.ca). We have been sharing a stall, every Saturday, this year at the wonderful Moss St market located in Fairfield, Victoria BC. She has been such an inspiration, support and general pack horse / coffee - popsicle fetcher for me during this first WallFlags season at the market and it has been such fun to share the start of this journey with a friend. Now Anita has been knitting her little heart out this summer (or should I say knitting her socks off) to try and keep up with the demand for her funky socks and fingerless gloves. With demand so high when the temperatures are soaring - who knows what stampede will occur for her when the weather really does spur a need! Her knitting is fabulous (this is the lady who knitted a Mona Lisa sweater within a week - enough said!!) her European style of knitting has been catching the attention of all the die hard knitters out there on Vancouver Island - as she tucks her big, pointy needles under her arm and happily clacks away during the day. So it is a relief for us that we are taking a break next Saturday from the market to let Anita replenish what stocks she can during a 2 week period (you would be surprised how much she can achieve) because this week she sold out of all her knitting and was only left with an empty right foot! You can also check out Adoornments gorgeous new line of jewellery on etsy where she is inspired by her beautiful cable knits and her finds on Vancouver Island through the medium of precious metal clay.
