fo: his mitts

Posted on February 14, 2012 by

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 →

knitting in public

Posted on January 26, 2012 by

For a long time, I knitted exclusively in the sheltered comforts of my house, away from curious stares, away from from judgements like, isn’t knitting for little old ladies?

on the way

Posted on January 21, 2012 by

These little packages are out the door, on their way to you. I’ve been busy working on orders lately, knitting in front of the TV, while I’m watching the girls at gymnastics and dance, while I’m waiting for littlest one to fall asleep (we’ve recently transitioned her from a crib to a bed and I went from have a baby who fell asleep as soon as I shut the door, to a toddler that I have to lay down with and wait for an hour before she’ll let me leave the room!)
