Patina Party | Celtic Cast On
I have been oh so patiently waiting for January to come so Tanis could release all her 2013 club patterns into the wild. Tanis designed this gorgeous sock pattern Patina at the start of the year and I knew right away I wanted to knit them so when it arrived in my inbox upon release I squealed with delight. *Thank you Tanis!* Of course I couldn’t wait to cast on… Read More »Patina Party | Celtic Cast On

During December I worked hard to finish most of my WIPs. I succeed in finishing… Read More »Happy 2014! | Celtic Cast On
Interesting Christmas | Celtic Cast On
Well Christmas has gone once again and it has been an interesting one here. Last weekend we had a huge ice storm, we had freezing rain for 3-4 days continuously. Everything was covered in a coating of ice, the trees looked beautiful sparkling in the sun albeit a bit heavy and drooped. After the storm was over the trees started to droop more and before long 50,000 people in my… Read More »Interesting Christmas | Celtic Cast On

Old Man… | Celtic Cast On
Old Man winter has arrived! Yesterday was our first snow storm of the season. Surprisingly the Ridge didn’t get as much snow as other parts of the province but there is enough to play and slide in so that’s all that really matters. My boy adores the snow and spends much of his time looking exactly like this. Molly on the other hand is getting older and can be seen… Read More »Old Man… | Celtic Cast On
