Knit the Change You Want to Be

A life worth living is a life spent knitting – just ask Joey Poh of Winter’s Weather Knits.
BY LEE ANN K ANE
1
WHEN LIFE BEGINS TO FEEL TOO COMPLICATED, Joey Poh
reaches for her knitting needles, creating a design for the simple
changes she aspires to make.
In British Columbia, Canada, there is a knitter whose designs are
like glimpses into a life lived simply and full of joy. Poh, of Winter’s
Weather Knits, didn’t always have an easy time of knitting,
however. Her mother taught her to knit when she was 7 years old,
but it wasn’t until Poh was a university student that she realized
what the problem was. Poh’s mother had, in fact, been teaching her 2
from the “Most Common Mistakes” section of an instruction book.
But Poh’s Singaporean upbringing, she says, taught her to “strive
for greatness and never do anything halfway,” so she hit Google
and Youtube, teaching herself to create exactly what she wanted
to wear. And that’s what you’ll find in her extensive catalogue of
simple, modern designs: little breaths of fresh air that fit in with
just about anyone’s wardrobe.
Poh started off with free online patterns, but she had a vision for
what would look best on her body, and that required modifications
right away. Poh says, “I found that coming up with my own design
elements was more engaging for me and I ended up with finished 3
objects I was proud of.” She self-published her first pattern in 2017,
and still considers her business a venture for fun.
Poh’s refusal to get caught up in the wild world of the knitterati 4
gives her a level of calm that is extraordinary. She does have a
website, but most of Poh’s work is on social media via Instagram
(@wintersweatherknits) and Youtube (youtube.com/@winter-
sweatherknits). As an “extroverted introvert,” Poh has taught
beginner classes at her local community center, but finds the idea of
teaching “higher level workshops” a bit intimidating. She says,
“My brain operates in mysterious ways… I do post knitting tutorials
on my Youtube channel to visually support the special techniques
I use in my designs. Many of my videos are accessible through
the purchase of my patterns, though some of them are publicly
available to everyone!”
Poh’s designs reflect her life in Vancouver, with pieces that can be
worn both in city venues and in the woods on hikes. Poh also works
hard to promote size inclusivity. She notes, “I offer all my garment
patterns in nine sizes, and do what I can to allow as much time as 5
possible for test knitters in larger sizes to complete the test. I hope

5 Easy EZ Tricks
By Elizabeth Zimmermann
Meg Swansen leads us through some of her mother’s
easiest and most infamous knitting tips and tricks.
THIS WILL BE FUN! Make a list of some of the Easy EZ knitting tips and tricks
developed by Elizabeth Zimmermann during her many decades of writing
books and magazine articles; publishing patterns; starring in a PBS TV series;
creating instructional videos; and teaching at her own Knitting Camp and
workshops around the United States. As you may imagine, the list of
Elizabeth’s innovations is long. Elizabeth’s main objective for knitters was to
keep your knitting simple and enjoy yourself.
Here are five easy EZ ideas that may help you to improve or simplify your knitting.
Are you new to circular knitting?

“Join Being Careful Not To Twist” is an important direction to follow. Do you need a firm selvedge
Before joining the end to the beginning of a circular cast on, make for a garter-stitch jacket,
certain none of your stitches are twisted. However, what do you do if collar or hood?
after joining and starting to knit round one you find an obvious twist? USE EZ’S BUILT-IN i-CORD:

Are you tired of mending sock toes, heels and bottoms?
KNIT EZ’S MOCCASIN SOCKS, a clever design from EZ’s book Knitting Around
that allows you to add a strengthening strand to the toes, heels and entire
bottom of the foot all at once, as follows: When you are sick of mending the
inevitable future holes, snip half a stitch, ravel around the top of the foot (which
never wears out), and the toe, heel and bottom will fall off. Re-knit it, like a
re-tread tire. NOTE: A new edition of Knitting Around is coming soon.

WHITTLING DOWN the extensive list of EZ innovations has been difficult, as so

book called Knitting Workshop – and other designers have carried her
i-Cord ideas even further.
• And one of the most important: EPS, Elizabeth’s Percentage System,

sheep are grass fed on lush pastures in the heart
of Southern Berkshire County in Massachusetts.
Amanda and Alberto threw themselves into
making 100% pure breed wool, spun in local small
mills. Their products are natural colored, just as
the sheep grew them. Even more special is that
each colorway is named after the sheep they
came from, making every one exclusive and one
of a kind. It is an amazing treat to work with such
traceable fibers.
Starting out selling yarn at events like The
Fiber Festival of New England, Edinburgh Yarn

Vogue Knitting Live, they went on to sell at other
venues, including The New York State Sheep and
Wool Festival, which is known to most knitters
as Rhinebeck. A few years ago, Amanda had the

A SPECIAL REQUEST
Encouraging her to knit her first

Senior Editor, Tiffany Harrison what
kind of sweater she’d really enjoy
wearing. Tiffany answered with photos
of a pullover with tiers of ruffles
cascading down each sleeve.
My challenge was set.
T H E U N I Q U E R E S U LT
How could I design a sleeve with
multiple ruffles that was easy enough
for a beginner knitter?
1. It made sense to tackle the sweater
first then pick up for each ruffle after
gaining skills. To make the pick up W I T H A N D W I T H O U T R U F F L E S The base sweater (The Author), on the left and page

would begin, making it easy to see
where to pick up stitches.
2. The sleeve needs to be knit from { Ruffle Magic Kept Simple}
side to side so the slipped stitches Pick up one stitch into each elongated
slipped stitch. Then, number of stitches

is (almost) doubled on the next
the sleeve. An easy way to accomplish row by adding YOs.
that is to cast on for the sleeves
