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!

I finished the scarf for my son's girlfriend and it turned out so nice and soft. I think she liked it....every time I see her since she is wearing it (even in the house!) lol! My family actually listened when I told them I wanted a gift certificate to my favorite yarn store for Christmas. (I even gave them directions....lol!) Then on Boxing Day (for Americans, that is the day after Christmas) when my favorite LYS (Knit One Chat Too) had their BIG yarn sale I was there first thing when they opened with my Gift Certificates in hand,...

It was held at Knit One Chat Too in Calgary. What an amazing store....so much yarn I want there! (I can hardly wait for a sale there!) Allison the owner is so nice and friendly she immediately put me at ease. And the other ladies in the knitting circle are all equally as friendly. Erica who also works part time in the store is so friendly and she is so knowledgable. Next time I must remember to take my camera to share pictures here. My Cap Sleeve Pullover is almost done....just 1 1/2" to go on the neckline and...

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...

I have not forgotten my blog. I just started a new job and I have not had time to post anything (or do any knitting either :( ). I am going on my ninth straight day. My day starts off with shower for work and while my hair dries I clean the house because it is up for sale and I may end up with a surprise showing, then get ready for work. After work I rush home to fix dinner, do laundry, help dear son, Alex, with homework. Drop into bed exhausted and start all over the next day! If I don't get some knitting time in soon I am going to go crazy! (My family says... (more) http://knitwitrambles.blogdrive.com/comments?id=10
