Here in the freezing North!
Well, it's official.....I have gone into hibernation....today is -27C, with a windchill factor making it -42C. I refuse to go any where in this! (As if my car will even start....lol!) As I hibernate I can't help but ask myself...Why do I live in Canada again? Someone please remind me.....lol!
Today's plan is to drink coffee, knit, drink coffee, and knit some more....I am pulling out movies and settling in for a day of movies and knitting!
My knitting update....Hudson is done...and I love it! I even did a first for me....I used the sewing machine to install my zipper! I can knit, crochet, do cross stitch, but I never learned how to sew. My sewing has been limited to sewing my work together. I think I did a pretty good job on it. (Doing the dance of joy!) I have to admit....I LOVE this pattern! I already have plans to do another in a different color, I also have other ideas to "shake it up" a bit....we'll see how that plays out when I get to it! When someone gets home I will get pics taken (inside, as I will not venture out to the frozen North for outside pics...lol!) and then I can post pics of the Hudson in all it's glory!
I also am going through my UFO's and taking serious stock of what I have in progress. I have decided that life is to short to be working on projects that I have no intention to wear. I have a habit of knitting things I will never wear just because I want to try the pattern....then it gets cast aside when I lose interest in it. In the meantime to many things I want to wear I never get to this way....I have to stop doing that....lol! So I will be doing alot of frogging so that I can recycle the yarn into projects that I deem more to be worth my while. (*Singing* A frogging I will go, a frogging I will go....*)
I started a Banff in more of my stash yarn, so far I am finding the pattern easy to follow. It currently is working up in Bernat Chunky too. (Gotta use up that stash yarn so I can shop for more yarns. I am currently using yarn that was "gifted yarn" from non crafty family and friends and trying to find things to make with that.)
I also plan to start the Klaralund with the Noro yarn in colorway 147 soon. (Who knows, maybe while watching movies today I will swatch for it. )
What is on your needles?
