Canadian Guild of Knitters was formed to provide information to knitters about the good products available to them. The source of this information is Knit Together, our quarterly magazine.

The colours of Canadian Guild of Knitters are blue and yellow or gold: blue representing the seas and skies that embrace Canada, and golden yellow representing the sun, growth, optimism and the wealthy knitting tradition of Canada.
First published in November, 2002, Knit Together offers feature articles about Canadian Knitting Designers, Canadian Knitters, and Canada's Local Yarn Shops. In its pages readers can also find yarn and book reviews, and information about new products available from retailers across the country and around the world.
Canadian Guild of Knitters launched the Knitting Accreditation Program in 2005. This comprehensive five-level knitting program is available exclusively to members of Canadian Guild of Knitters. For more information, please visit the Canadian Guild of Knitters' website. |

Cynthia MacDougall is the principal of Canadian Guild of Knitters. Her grandmother taught her to knit when she was young, and in her late teens Cynthia took up the needles in earnest.
In the early 1990s she studied spinning in order to learn more about yarn construction. This led to a passing interest in weaving, but knitting remains her first craft love.
Cynthia has been a knitter for over 30 years, and is excited about providing this service to both knitters and retailers.
Her knitting articles have been published in such Canadian craft publications as Fibre Focus, the magazine of the Ontario Handweavers and Spinners. |
Her first published design, a mystery afghan, was made available through a Canadian website. Her lace bookmark design, Snow Falling on Cedars was published in the premier issue of Knit Together. Cynthia continues to create new designs for Knit Together and other publications as time permits.
She is particularly fond of lace work.
