So far I’m on pretty good track with my Christmas knitting. I think Chris’s Socks with Pints On will be late but he’s cool with that. I haven’t started those yet, but soon. I’m currently working on a beret and possibly a matching scarf for my Grama, and I just finished two stockings for April…

The newest member of the fam
My new little baby niece Vaughn was born on August 25. I got to meet her last weekend as we celebrated her older brother’s 2nd b-day. I was able to give her the first quilt I made, finished earlier this summer in anticipation of her arrival. She pretty much looked like this the whole time…
Qiviuk! Qiviuk!
Have I mentioned what a fabulous, incredible, loving and supportive boy I have in my life? So supportive he buys me Qiviuk, not once in my life, but TWICE? This was my prezzie that Chris brought back from his ski trip out to Lake Louise, which from the photos is absolutely friggin’ gorgeous and I…
The Oatmeal Hat
Remember that luscious yarn I mentioned last week? I bought this yarn after Adria requested a hat to match a scarf she ordered from Organic Lifestyle. Even though Adria’s birthday isn’t until Valentine’s Day, I finished the hat on Monday night, so I took it over with me to her house on Tuesday since we…
Squishy soft luxuriousness
No I’m not talking about the puppy, although all those adjectives could be easily used to describe her too. I’m talking here about some gorgeous new yarn that arrived in the mail today, destined to become a birthday gift for a certain Ecoholic. This handspun merino by Off the Hooks’s Ashley Marcus in Alberta is…
Cozy fingers
I started these mittens back in May, of all months, and finished the right mitten all in one weekend at the cottage. But then I just never got around to knitting the second one, until after Christmas. I wanted a compact knitting project to take with me on our trip to Ottawa (not to mention…
Some FOs
I finished this sweater about a month ago but I didn’t want to post it online until it was gifted. It turned out pretty great except there is one little twisted stitch right in the front, a couple rows below the digger’s tracks. Boo. I didn’t even see it until I was photographing it. I…
Magoo the terrible
Mr. Magoo got an early Christmas present from me this weekend while I was visiting at the farm. His mama was looking for a fun new hat for him and of course the viking hats are super cute and super popular, so I made one special for him that was a bit bigger than the…
Squishy Sharp Centre
Hello Interweb, I’m still here! I’ve just been kinda busy. Work is all consuming these days, but, there is light at the end of the tunnel! Yesterday I put in about 17 hours at the office, starting at 5:30 in the morning and going until about 10:30 at night, all in the name of OCAD….
OK, so I’m not so quick on the draw
I was just perusing the Toronto Craft Alert website and found my Simpson’s Donut had been featured back in July! This cold/flu thing I have still has a grip on me. I only had a fever for about a half a day, but the sore throat is going on four days and my sinuses are…
