stepping into her world :: Emily Foden of Viola Yarns

March 15, 2018

Emily Foden of Viola Yarns has created a world full of beauty and whimsy. There is a nostalgia to her color palette that gently invites us to delve into memories of playing outdoors as a child... for me, it feels reminiscent of the changing of the seasons. Based in Moorseburg, Ontario, Emily ... View Post

making for you, making it your own

February 22, 2018

We each make our clothes for many different reasons; some for sustainability and others for longevity, some for thriftiness and others for practicality. I make clothes not only because I love it, but also from a deep rooted frustration from what is presented for me to buy, as a twenty-six year ... View Post

So, this week ... View Post

Brae Cove Tunic is here!

January 30, 2018

It my pleasure to introduce the latest Squam knit pattern, the Brae Cove Tunic, designed by Sam Lamb.   She and Elizabeth worked so very diligently to make this gorgeous piece to come to life; to create what I describe as "the most warm, versatile, easy-to-wear, sock-for-my-body!" I hear ... View Post

que sera, sera

January 26, 2018

photo credit :: ELIZABETH DUVIVIER "You can clear the land, plow the field, spread the fertilizer, and plant the corn. But you cannot make it rain. You cannot prevent an early frost. You cannot determine exactly what will happen in your life. The rain may or may not fall, but one thing is certain: ... View Post

living in the balance

January 22, 2018

Last Monday, my car was keyed in broad daylight whilst parked in my neighborhood. When I discovered the fresh, shiny scar running deeply along two panels, the tears that brimmed up were a mixture of anger, frustration, and lack of having anyone to blame. Without being able to point a finger at ... View Post

Instagram post 2198074211822733699_228334504 happy Friday! ✨ we’re giddy over here at Team Squam HQ watching each of your registrations float into our inboxes 😍
.
.
A quick reminder before you settle into your weekend: pre-registration for FALL 2020 ends this Monday, Dec 16th— in case you’re wondering WHY you might consider pre-reg, here’s the nitty gritty 👉 if you pre-reg for the retreat, you have the opportunity to choose your top choices from ALL classes. In January, we’ll then open registration for any remaining spots in classes that may not have filled in pre-reg
.
.
SO, all that to say is IF you had your eye on a particular class (or two! or three!) for the FALL, do make a note of the pre-reg closing deadline on Dec 16th
.
.
All WE wanna do is snuggle and squish into this gorgeous blanket by @northknits — (you could learn to make this Triple Warmer Throw, using gorgeous @purlsoho yarn, next Fall! *hint hint* 😉) .
.
.
Wishing you a luscious weekend! #squamlove

You can sign up for the next issue (coming Dec 20th) on the homepage of our website

Our Fall 2020 gathering is still open for pre-registration; remember, pre-reg is open until Dec 16th (or until the retreat fills, whichever comes first) 🙌 Featured above are three of our brand new Fall 2020 classes: Mixed Media Narrative w/ @kialagives, Creating Your Fiber Story w/ @violaemily and Alum + Iron w/ @travelingmilesstudio ✨ have a fab weekend! #squamlove
