I know there’s still a few days before Canada Day but the Hubby and I and our little dog Crosby are heading to my parents Cottage for a week tomorrow. It’s quite a ways away and there’s no internet connection so I won’t be writing any new post next week. We are very much looking forward to this getaway. But …
WIP Wednesdays
It’s a girl! My husbands cousin gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Aria, on Monday morning. And although she is only 2 days old, she’s already being spoiled by grandparents, aunts and uncles and handfuls of cousins. Congrats to the new Mom and Dad! Now onto my current knitting projects. The purple baby blanket is progressing slowly, more slowly …
WIP Wednesdays
Another Wednesday, another set of works in progress. Not many new items this week, actually no new items this week. I’ve been working on the same projects for the last two weeks. I’ve been finally getting back to my routine so by next week I should be working on some new projects. Until then here’s my progress. Happy Knitting, Ashley …
WWKIP Day
I’m sad to admit that I missed WWKIP Day (World Wide Knit In Public Day). I had guests from out of town last week so knitting, although on my mind, was not my priority.

We went to Canada’s Wonderland on Wednesday and surprisingly it was the perfect day. The weather was great, sunny but not too hot; and …
WIP Wednesdays
The daisy stitch baby blanket that I’ve been knitting is coming together much slower than I anticipated. I was trying to stick to a schedule but my husband was sick last week and his work schedule has been sporadic which in turn means my schedule has been thrown off balance. So I’ve only managed to knit up a few rows …
Baby Shower
I’ve been somewhat busy this past week helping plan a baby shower for one of my hubby’s cousins. It’s the first baby between all of his cousins and everyone is uber excited. As usual I gave a knitted gift; the yellow baby blanket that I knit earlier this year. I have also been working on a knit pullover sweater but …
Vogue Knitting
When I was in high school I thought that knitters were grandmothers making things for their grand children or a hobby for old people. Oh how naive! Even when I got back into knitting in university, I never broadcast the fact that I was making scarves. I would only knit at home, even though my brother’s would say that I …
