An Introduction(In case you’re new here)

Hello everyone! I thought I would take a moment to reintroduce myself for 2022.

My name is Chantal Gilmour but known around Cornwall Ontario as the Crazy Knitter 🤭 I started knitting as a hobby over 20 years ago to keep busy on maternity leave.
This hobby turned into a passion after a car accident that left me bed 🛏️ ridden for months waiting for surgery. Never really healed from said accident and surgery so I now spend my time making a living selling my hand-knit articles.
My favourite item to knit is the Fourth Doctor’s scarf 🧣 it takes me a long time to knit it but there is something satisfying about finishing that scarf 🧣 and wearing it around town or seeing the pride it brings to a cosplayer. My other favourite pieces to knit are slippers (I may be biased but my slippers are pretty warm and cozy) and I like keeping a dishcloth on the go in the car(you never know when you will have time to knit 😉) Using my powers of knitting for good, I started Warm Up Cornwall to make sure no one is cold during our cold Canadian winters.
When I am not knitting you can find me volunteering for the Optimist Club of Cornwall or I have my nose in a book. I recharge by walking through nature absorbing all the energy only nature can provide.

Thank you for being part of my little community and I hope you enjoy following my journey through life with my knitting and all my other tomfoolery.

Visit my Etsy shop to see all my available pieces.

Saturday Night Plans.

What do you do with the first Saturday you have off in a long time? Well you play zombie 🧟 for the local Pathfinders.

A First For Everything.

Today is the first day of a new year and I have a first to announce. I donated blood for the first time ever. I am looking forward to many more firsts in 2019.

If you can you should donate. Be someone’s hero.

New Year, New Goals.

New goals here are still in the process of being made, will update you all when I am done.

Do you set goals or make resolutions every new year?

New week, same goals.

IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE RIBFEST!!

Looking to really finish this blanket by Thursday so I can drop it off at the shop and have one less thing to worry about during Ribfest. This week is a crazy one with work “knitting and advertising” and helping with set up and working at Ribfest.

I love being an Optimist and this week is going to be a blast.
