book worms

Posted on March 13, 2012 by

My girl and I have been visiting the library more often lately. We’re finding it a great outing on weekends during L’s nap time, to get out of the house, spend some quiet time together, and bring back some reading for bedtime. Reading at the end of the day is something I’ve been doing with the girls since they were born. Cuddled up in bed, reading aloud is a great, relaxing end to our busy days, I find. Continue reading →

Posted on March 12, 2012 by

I’ve always enjoyed other blog posts who show the contents of their purse or wallets or other personal carry-alls. It’s so interesting to me to see what others carry in their bags and compare. Are you the same? Continue reading →

Posted on February 26, 2012 by

One of our stops yesterday included the yarn shop, Romni Wools where I picked up a skein of pink wool (Cascade 220 – can’t go wrong with this stuff) + two skeins of Rowan kid silk mohair. I cast on this morning for a pair of legwarmers, this time for the girls’ little cousin. Continue reading →

I’ve been knitting for over 6 years now and last week was the first time he’s ever asked me to make anything for him. I always assumed he wouldn’t wear anything I knitted (most men are like that, aren’t they?) and I didn’t mind just knitting for the girls anyways. Continue reading →

his photos

Posted on February 6, 2012 by

Hubby has been taking a photography class one night per week for the past few weeks. Last week his class hit Kensington Market for an outing. Pretty cool if you ask me, but I’m a little biased. My favourite of his shots is the last one. Continue reading →

fo: cable neckwarmer

Posted on January 28, 2012 by

Made for my mom for her birthday, which I’m gifting to her today. I’ve always loved the look of cable-knit sweaters, but for some reason, never attempted to knit anything with cables. I’m not exactly sure why. Probably because it looked daunting and complicated but in reality, it was super easy! I finished this in just 2 nights! My first cable-knit was a huge success!
