We spent Alex’s 10th birthday in July at Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Falls and had a great time with WannaBaa – her kids and mine. It [...]

Not an actual post (coming soon I swear!) but had to share this awesome picture of WannaBaa’s little miss Ava in her Miss Muffett. Pattern was on Magknits and now available on Ravelry…

Or suddenly your books have to be re-organized – maybe by colour this time instead of height? (except fibre books – they still belong [...]
I was SO good for 3 whole months!!! Seriously good. Didn’t even look at other yarn good. But then..I couldn’t help myself. It was no big deal really. One lousy skein. The trollop screamed at me from afar (after I routed through the basket for a colour I liked and then stepped back to admire [...]
First of all…a little instructional bit for the non-knitting readers who read this blog…all four of them. The rest of you may skip down below the line for the actual adventure.
Righto – the bent needle on the right is a cable needle. The obsessive types who prefer to make their own sweaters instead of doing [...]
