So Harpers plan to give parents 100$ per child a month is more than likely to be clawed back by the Ontario government from families who are recieving social assistance! What the hell!!!??? Personally I would be happier with more daycare spaces that follow the Quebec 7 dollar a day system than the 100$ that [...]

I sewed in the last seam about 30 minutes ago! I’m very happy with how it turned out and am very glad it’s done (no more abandonment guilt)! When I cast on a year and a half ago I was 7 months pregnant and decided to omit the Kangaroo pouch since it would be in [...]

The knitting is done now it’s blocking(photos to come)…Tomorrow after work I will be seaming it all together then I am FINALLY done with this baby! I am happy to report that I think I may have even rediscovered my love of this pattern…however I’m now not so keen on the yarn…it was early in [...]

Last night I met up with Ms Kelly for a bit of nosh and beer (that would be me, Kelly was a smart girl who didn’t imbibe) at the Duke. After dinner we were sitting and enjoying ourselves so I pulled out my Rogue (in the vain hope of casting off today) and started knitting…after [...]

IT’s 5 AM…Ms Abi is awake…short of drugging her (which I believe is still illegal) there is no return to sleep for me at the present. The Paycheque Monkey will get to stay asleep since well, he is the one makes the money and I can nap later in the day when the urge/need hits [...]

YEeeHAWWwww! Our Girls have brought home the gold! It was a great game and I even got a little verklemmt as they were given their medals. I would like to mention that there has been no further progress on the Rogue sleeves from this morning…my consolation is that I have just returned from my local [...]

It’s been slow but steady knitting and my earlier prediction of being done today was as I thought a bit over confident. However I am finished with the cable pattern (during the Canada/USA Men’s curling) and am onto the straight stockinette. Then it’s a little blocking then the seaming…I may just have this in the [...]

That Italian Mens Hockey team is pretty impressive! The gave Team Canada a good bit of play. Can someone please explain to me when and why Pro sports players were allowed into the Olympics? I have a vague recollection that the Olympics were only for amature players. The knitting is coming along slowly: As of [...]

My plan for yesterday was to make up for lost knitting time and get back on track…It was not to be, I got about two inches completed in between bouts of tidying up and getting ready for the Pre-Spring Clean De-Clutter-a-thon planned for today. My Mum and Dad are supposed to be coming in to [...]

Things were going so well this morning until the subway train I was on went out of service 5 stops from where I needed to be. I was making good time and would beable to get myself a coffee on the way but something had happened that had stopped service from Broadview to Keel stations [...]
