Knitting – I’m trying to get some WIP’s finished up because I have so many projects lined up that I want to cast on for. I know if I don’t finish these now they will end up in the pile of unfinished socks I already have on the go. I just have the feet and toes to go and I’m hoping to get a good chunk of that done today.… Read More »Yarn Along | Celtic Cast On
Pattern:Lancelot by Solenn Couix-Loarer Yarn: Cascade 220 Mods: My only modification was to go down to needle size for the ribbing. It was suggested in the pattern if you want it to be a bit tighter in those areas. My Rav Notes A test knit for Solenn and my first test of the year. Solenn made this gorgeous sweater for her son and when I saw it I knew… Read More »Miss Lancelot | Celtic Cast On
We have returned from a great trip but as you know travelling can zap the life right out of you. Especially when you experience two daylight savings times within two weeks. I’ll be back shortly once I get through the laundry and some extra sleep. What have you all been up to? I’ve missed the chat!
We’re on the road! Well I finally decided what knitting to bring with us on our trip so I thought since I have a two hour bus ride and T is sitting between us reading a book like a pro. * I sometimes stress about trip’s and what its going to be like with a 2 year old but so far we’ve had a wonderful time, although we haven’t made… Read More »Travellin’ | Singin’ | Celtic Cast On

Excited to join Yarn Along today and tell you about a book I just couldn’t put down! I read Yellow Crocus by Laila Ibrahim in two days. I stayed up waaaay too late the first night and then finished it off during nap time the following day. Set in the 1800’s on a Cotton Plantation the story is told in the eyes of Mattie a slave who has to leave… Read More »Yarn Along | Celtic Cast On
It’s time for another yarn along with Ginny I’m afraid I haven’t got much reading done lately. I started listening to book 3 of the Hunger Games called Mockingjay but didn’t get very far. As for knitting I think I’ve done more winding than knitting. I ran out of yarn for my Vintage inspired socks I was working on…. a knitter from my local knitting group is hooking me up… Read More »Yarn Along | Celtic Cast On
As I type T is playing hairdresser…. I’ve got one eye squinted from the pain of the round brush jabbing into my head, I’m being asked to tilt my head waaay waaay back so she can wash it and then spraying hairspray on top. Boss has his paw on my arm as if to say HELLLOOOO you aren’t touching me while Molly, oh sweet Molly dreams of daddy on her… Read More »Yarn Along | Celtic Cast On
I recently had the chance to review a sweet knitting book called Lovely Little Knits for Girls by Vibe Ulrik Sondergaard I must admit I was intrigued by this book when I saw the title and read that it was for older children. Lots of patterns go up to size two and then stop but this book contains 20 knitting patterns geared towards toddlers to seven year olds. The book… Read More »Lovely Little Knits for Girls – Book Review | Celtic Cast On
