My name is Anna. I'm a mom, wife, country-dweller, nature-lover, knitter and designer from Alberta, Canada. If you are here, you probably love yarn and fibre crafts as much as I do. Welcome!
I acknowledge that the land from which I film this podcast is within Treaty 6 Territory, the traditional land and home to many people groups including nêhiyaw/Cree, Dene, Anishinaabe/Saulteaux, Nakota Isga/Nakota Sioux, and Niitsitapi/Blackfoot. I acknowledge this as the Métis’ homeland and the home of one of the largest communities of Inuit south of the 60th parallel. Treaty 6 currently encompasses 50 nations. My present life here is only a small part of the rich human and natural history of this place, and its future to come.

You are fantastic. Lovely podcast presentation. Beautiful designs. Lovely classy, colorful (in a calm way) background to feast my eyes on. And your delivery of all your ideas is very enjoyable.
Hi Anna, welcome back, you have been sorely missed. It's so nice to spend time with you and your lovely knits, and I'm not even a knitter (crocheting a little rabbit right now). Will look forward to seeing you again, whenever that may be, and will ask the Lord to be with you through any difficult times.
As always your videos are so wonderful. I have yarn coming for a second Evermore Vest, I love the first one so much. I named a puppy I got a couple of years ago Yarny, because of you telling a yarn. He is a toy sized Australian shepherd, definitely a herding animal, so it fits perfectly. Thank you again for your content and have a blessed and Happy New Year
like the shoulder of the homegrown hoodie very wearable but it looks like a lot of knitting i like the cross over at the neck too, very nice pattern.
beautiful picture frame window winter scene. love your sweater on the manikin, love the texture band on the cardigan!!!! keep being creative in the new year.
Thank you for taking the time to record a podcast. It was nice to sit with you while finishing my Christmas knitting. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
Congrats on all your publications! I don't know how you do it with a big family and a farm - very impressive. Happy Holidays!!
I love your knits. Very happy to see you back.
Love the Jensen Pullover!!! Very nice!
Nice seeing you!!!
Hello Anna! Such a prolific year of beautiful design work, farm life and being a Mom! You are amazing. My goal is to figure out what garment construction “works” for my body and I am excited to try your methods. We took some of my sister’s wool to Dragonfly Fibre Mill 👏🏼 👏🏼 The finished yarn weight ended up Aran/bulky which wasn’t what was intended but wow, the consistency of the spinning was incredible.

thank you to your friends for their encouragement it’s Wonderful to see you back. Happy Christmas from rainy and windy england and I very much look forward to seeing your next episode early next year ❤
Hello from a South Africa . So glad to see you and your beautiful patterns. My you and your family have a blessed Christmas
It is so nice to see you back!! Your knits are just gorgeous! I love your design for the skirt. Have a wonderful holiday and hope to see lots of you in the New Year😊
I was so happy to see you back on TH-cam, Anna! You have achieved so much this past year and I’m not surprised you have had a “full” life. I hope it’s been more happy than sad overall. X
I love seeing your projects. I've added the hoodie to my queue to do in 2025!
It so lovely to see you Anna. It was a pleasure to knit the Homegrown Hoodie. Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas 🎄 and health and joy in the New Year 😊
Welcome back! Thank you for taking the time to podcast and showcase your designs. I have bought the Homegrown Hoodie my size and can't wait to cast on, I have yarn in mind, I just need to buy silk/mohair. Seasons greetings 🎄
Hello Anna! I purchased your new hoodie pattern, but now I'm thinking I need the Amisk Cardigan, too 😊 Happy Christmas!
Lovely to see your podcast again, Anna. I fell in love with your Imogene pattern and bought it. Also, congratulations on having a design published in Laine magazine. That quite an accomplishment and one you truly deserve. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones - I hope the new year brings you lots of design inspiration.
Your designs are beautiful and I love the snow outside your window. ❤
Welcome back. Missed you.
Please release the skirt! My 12-years-old will gonna love it ❤ Great episode, as usual! Happy to see you again 😊
Great to see you back - though how you manage to achieve so much with a large family and no doubt many other demands is amazing to me ! I like all your design ideas which have the kind of originality all we knitters are 'on alert' for !! I hope you and your family also have a great year in 2025 . Best wishes from (by contrast) a rather warm Western Australia.
Merry Christmas and so nice to hear from you .Your knits are just wonderful .Congratulations on all your published patterns .So fantastic to have your work represented in these exciting publications .Take a bow .
WOW the skirt is just stunning! Please publish the pattern! It's sooooo beautiful!
Anna, Your designs are beautiful and thank you for coming back for Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and your family
Hello Anna! I love all your knits. The hoodie is gorgeous and the fit is exquisite. Your knitting skills are next-level! God bless you and your family ❤
It’s so good to see your face, Anna, and to listen to all your recent knitting adventures. I hope you and your family have a very merry Christmas 🎄 ⭐️
So good to see a new podcast from you Anna! Thanks for sharing all your wonderful creations. I am almost finished a pair of Terrace mittens- my first pair of mittens and I’m really enjoying them. I have several of your patterns on my to-do list for 2025…..I just need more hours in the day. All the best to you and your family this Christmas season!
Thank you for sharing your time and life with us here. Merry Christmas and Blessings and favor in the New Year.
Thank you 🎉
Gorgeous ❤
Totally cool!
Thanks so much! Do you knit the tail in or do you leave some for weaving in?
Ooh, that’s so simple! Thanks for that, Anna.
I love your technique. Cute little bobble.
clever to work in the back into the purl, that way it stands perky, well done!!!!!!!
Those bobbles look also beautiful on that cute towel ! 🌷
Oh what fun. I like using my fingers to do it.
Lovely as always. Your designs are classic and timeless with a twist. I want to cast on the accessories right away as I need a new set for walking my dog as I am in Northern Ontario.
The Garti Cardi is my absolute favorite and most worn knit!! I will be knitting another one! I too had intentions for adding pockets, but still haven’t 😂
Happy New Year Anna! The Hap shawls are so beautiful and so much work. True Heirloom pieces. I’m very inspired if rather daunted!
Happy new year 🥂🍾 your designs are beautiful I love the blankets ❤️ thank you for amazing inspiration and the time you spend on sharing all your knits with us 😉👍👏
I kept starting to comment “ooooh I love that!” About each new design you showed. The cardigan is darling and so inspires me to knit more for my girls (they are sooo knit-worthy). Then the baby blanket is so stunning,…etc. you are so talented and inspiring! Thank you for making such amazing designs (including THE BEST SWEATER EVER) and also for sharing your knits with us via podcast. I can imagine how much time it takes to sit down and record and edit a video. 👏👏👏
Happy New Year Anna. Your daughter’s cardigan is gorgeous. Also those baby blankets but I do think I like more for haps. Ok Anna let’s be honest, I just don’t think there is anything you have made that I don’t like. I’m happy to hear that you had a successful year and this year is even better. I wish you well.
Happy new year, Anna! All your designs are wonderful! My favourite must be the Garti Cardi. I have been living in it for the last couple of months. It's so cozy and warm❤ So excited to see what you design this year. Blessings over 2024 for you and your family❤
Oh my goodness, your little girl’s ruffle cardi is adorable. If you change your mind and draft the pattern I would buy for sure.❤ I think 11 patterns is a lot to release. Good job! I’m looking forward to seeing your ideas for 2024. Blessings!
OMG!!! The very first girls cardigan is fabulous!!! I am so looking forward to the year ahead and following all your fantastic patterns. ♥️
