My life is returning to normal now!

Now that work has finally gotten into a routine my life can get back to normal! I am so sorry I did not have time to update my blog. I did not have time to do much knitting either! As promised here are pics of the Park that I completed and my crew socks!


I realize the crew socks are pretty plain, however they are what I needed for work! I know the pics are not very clear, I will get some taken outside when winter eases up on us here! Today is -15C. for the high! YUCKY!!!  Canadian winter is a terrible thing! Every winter I go into hibernation!

While catching up on my blog readings I had to laugh while reading
Kerstin's site! My husband and I have the opposite problem...he is always the one who is hot. If he had his way there would be NO blankets on our bed. I am always freezing(it's these Canadian winters I tell you!!) Not to mention he sleeps diagonally in the bed from corner to corner and always leaves me this little triangle to curl up in! It's no wonder that I get my best sleep AFTER he leaves for work!  LOL!

As for a knitting update: the cap sleeve pullover is coming along sooo slowly!! Knit 2, purl 2 ribbing takes forever! My goal is to have it done by this weekend. I have a Christmas party next week that I would like to wear it to. The back piece is done and I am at the neckline shaping. My other crew socks are stalled for the moment. However, I did start "Hudson" from the Noro Knits book last night. I decided I needed a jacket at work as the office gets pretty cold...(truth is I was looking for any excuse!! LOL!) I am knitting it out of Bernat Chunky in "Natural". I know it is acrylic but Bernat Chunky is soft. I really like it!

I went shopping at Old Navy and bought the cutest skirt for work! (Also can wear it for the Christmas party next week with my new Cap Sleeve Pullover!) You can see it
here. I got it for $25.  I love shopping there!

Next week is my husbands and mine anniversary (22 years!) and I need some suggestions for an anniversary gift. Does anyone have any ideas???
