I’m going to give it a try. The plan is to knit the A-line jacket in a month. I made a larger swatch yesterday (ok so I started a sleeve!I’m only 5 inches in and I’m not knitting any more till tomorrow!) since my first swatch with the yarn held double just didn’t quite work [...]

The Royal opens to the public in three more sleeps!!!! Can you tell how excited I am to be amongst my other people! I can almost taste the shaved bison sandwiches (put anything more than mustard on it and it’s ruined!!!) and fudge. The urge to sell it all and get a small parcel of [...]

I’m going to be home this weekend with my husbeast, daughter and newborn son. I’m a bit envious of the friends who are en route to the fair but have consoled myself with some yarn from LettuceKnit and the knowledge that I have a whole year to knit from the stash and save up for [...]

Well any fears I might have had about Liam not getting enough nurse have been laid to rest. We had a Drs. appt. yesterday and he is weighing in at 11lbs! He has gained about a pound a week since his birth 3.5 weeks ago. My Mum was teasing me in the hospital about being [...]
