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
If you’ve been reading here for any length of time you will know how much I love Lily Kate and her designs. In 2010 I started a Lily Kate group on Ravelry for everyone that loves Lily’s designs as much as I do. We’ve decided to have a Lily Kate Spring KAL in the group and I’m inviting you all to join. Simply choose one or two or ten of… Read More »Lily Kate Spring KAL | 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
Last weekend we loaded up the old snowmobile and headed out in search of some Ice Caves. Not far from where we live there are some snowmobile trails that we knew would take us to this spot. Moose and T went down first so I could get some shots from above. There were ropes tied from tree to tree that were a great help getting down…and up. Otherwise you’d have… Read More »Ice Caves | Celtic Cast On
Day 30 – Crafting Companion A month of Craft Photo’s Day 29 was your last FO and I know you all saw my last one so I opted out of day 29 and used the extra day. This is one of my crafting companion’s. Crafting, for me, happens at naptime or bed time. These are also the times that my crafting companion’s choose to sleep so I usually have two… Read More »Day 30 – Crafting Companion | 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
Day – 28 Simplicity A Month of Craft Photos Yesterday I cast on for a second Classic Raglan I ran out of yarn for my socks and needed some mindless knitting. I love how simple this pattern is and how great it looks on.
Day 27 – The Wrong Side A Month Of Craft Photo’s Even the wrong side can be pretty! Swatching for a new sweater…. more on that later.
Day 24 – Up Close A month of Craft Photos I started this pair of socks a few days ago. I wanted to try knitting socks two at a time to hopefully avoid my severe second sock syndrome. I cast on with some scraps of worsted weight yarn, I didn’t want to throw myself under the bus for my first try and they are working up quickly. I think I… Read More »Day 24 – Up Close | Celtic Cast On
