It’s a girl! My husbands cousin gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Aria, on Monday morning. And although she is only 2 days old, she’s already being spoiled by grandparents, aunts and uncles and handfuls of cousins. Congrats to the new Mom and Dad! Now onto my current knitting projects. The purple baby blanket is progressing slowly, more slowly …
WIP Wednesdays
Another Wednesday, another set of works in progress. Not many new items this week, actually no new items this week. I’ve been working on the same projects for the last two weeks. I’ve been finally getting back to my routine so by next week I should be working on some new projects. Until then here’s my progress. Happy Knitting, Ashley …
WWKIP Day
I’m sad to admit that I missed WWKIP Day (World Wide Knit In Public Day). I had guests from out of town last week so knitting, although on my mind, was not my priority. So for a day, people from all over the world were taking their knitting outside. As I type this I can feel the sting of jealousy for …
Friend Visits
This past week I’ve had my oldest friend visiting, not the oldest age-wise, oldest as in I’ve known her since I was 5. So we’ve been busy and I haven’t had much time with my computer. We went to Canada’s Wonderland on Wednesday and surprisingly it was the perfect day. The weather was great, sunny but not too hot; and …
WIP Wednesdays
The daisy stitch baby blanket that I’ve been knitting is coming together much slower than I anticipated. I was trying to stick to a schedule but my husband was sick last week and his work schedule has been sporadic which in turn means my schedule has been thrown off balance. So I’ve only managed to knit up a few rows …
Baby Shower
I’ve been somewhat busy this past week helping plan a baby shower for one of my hubby’s cousins. It’s the first baby between all of his cousins and everyone is uber excited. As usual I gave a knitted gift; the yellow baby blanket that I knit earlier this year. I have also been working on a knit pullover sweater but …
Vogue Knitting
When I was in high school I thought that knitters were grandmothers making things for their grand children or a hobby for old people. Oh how naive! Even when I got back into knitting in university, I never broadcast the fact that I was making scarves. I would only knit at home, even though my brother’s would say that I …
Work In Progress Wednesdays
I often wonder how many times I can talk/write about my work in progress before I bore my readers. I don’t want to mention it in every post (unless its something spectacular). But I finish small project within a few days and I often forget to mention them when I tell you what I’m working on. So I will start …
Knitting & Arrested Development
Only three sleeps left until the glorious return of Arrested Development. I am ridiculously excited and can’t wait to see the crazy antics of the Bluth Family. I’ve been trying to catch up with past episodes so I’ve been watching and knitting. Surprisingly (or not so surprisingly), I still manage to laugh out loud in almost every episode. And I …
Long Weekend!
Happy Victoria Day (on the 20th) to all my fellow Canadians! If you’re not out spending time at the cottage or camping, I hope your spending it outside. The weather is a little bit chilly in the morning and at night but during the day it’s still beautiful out. My husband and I are saving our vacation time for a …
