I finished a great book over the weekend. The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa. I’m not one for vampire books/ movies, I have yet to read the Twilight Series but the synopsis of this one drew me in. The book is set in a futuristic world where Vampires rule. The Vamp’s live in the Inner City while the humans live on the outskirts. Human’s are to be registered and are used as… Read More »Book Review – The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa | Celtic Cast On
We have more beautiful FO’s this week! Rhonda of JediKnits finished her pair of Business Casual’s in Tanis Fiber Arts Blue Label in Pink Grapefruit.

I’m joining Claire today in Making Winter 2013 The idea being that we post once a week things that we are doing for fun to get through the winter. On the weekend we had a Nor Easter blow through. We didn’t end up with much snow because of the blizzard like conditions and lots of drifting. Since we couldn’t go outside to play in the snow, we set up in… Read More »Making Winter 2013 – Playdough style | Celtic Cast On
I made great progress last week on my socks. I’m cast on one sock in each colourway and have been tandem knitting them back and forth. This method seems to be working out well for me and Iove being able to play with both colours at the same time. I managed to turn the heel of each sock this week. The Tanis Fiber Arts Blue Label in Brick. This colourway… Read More »Business Casual KAL -Travelling Stitch | Celtic Cast On

Last week it was -37C but during the middle of the week we had a huge wind and rain storm with temps going up to 10C…… Mother Nature just doesn’t know what it wants to do this year. The wind storm we had… Read More »No Snow Blues | Celtic Cast On

A yarny package in the mail is the perfect pick me up after everything that went on last week. Last year, and it has almost been a year now, I received the most wonderful birthday gift from Monika. A gift certificate for the Wandering Cat Yarn’s etsy shop. *Thank you Monika* I didn’t want to make a spontaneous purchase with no project in mind so I held onto the gift certificate and… Read More »Acquisition | Celtic Cast On
I was thrilled to be able to test Downton Girl by Melissa Schaschwary I love cloche style hats but I was never sure if I could actually pull this off. Even while knitting it I emailed Melissa to ask if it was ok for T to model it because I didn’t think I could pull it off. T decided she didn’t want to wear it even though the whole time I was… Read More »Downton Girl | Celtic Cast On
