It"s November! It's cold outside. I'm getting ready for winter. Knitting lots of scarves, mitts, hats etc. Christmas is coming and there's lots to knit for presents under the tree. Last year I knit Christmas stockings. I also have new babies in the family being born in the New Year, so I'm busy with knitting gifts for those little ones. Lots to do on these cooler evenings. If anyone is interested in lessons for that special someone for a Christmas present,email me or call me at 905-914-7706 and maybe you will receive a handmade gift under the tree. Happy Knitting!!

It's October! Fall is in the air. The nights are chilly, good sleeping weather. It gets you in the mood for knitting blankets for your comfy couch or your king or queen size bed. I have to get started on a blanket for my daughter as she has recently moved out with her boyfriend to a house of their own. I have been busy with school, but I hope to get started on it. My house is full of men, my husband and my three teenaged sons. I miss my daughter terribly, as there is no female conversation. Oh well, I'll keep myself busy knitting and studying. I'm still at the vending shop in Whitby. Come in and shop for Xmas gifts. Happy Thanksgiving. Let us be thankful for all we have! Happy Knitting!

It's almost the end of September! Sorry I've missed keeping up with my blog. I'm a busy girl now. I'm back to school for Pharmacy Technician, but I'm still keeping up with my knitting. I'm still at the vending shop, selling my knitting. It's in Whitby on the corner of Brock St. and Mary St. The shop is called All Occasion Gifts (by Mom and Kid Stuff). The colder weather is upon us and I'll be knitting mitts, hats, scarves and fingerless gloves for kids and everyone who are busy with their hands in this cold weather, that is creeping up on us. Thanksgiving and Halloween are also coming soon. So get your Autumn colours and orange wool out to knit for the season. Happy Knitting!!

It's March. Spring will be here! Although it doesn't look like spring with the snow on the ground. I'm still knitting for new babies and little girls. I'm also knitting Yoga socks for fun. I've found some new patterns for sleeveless tops for spring and summer.Even though spring is on it's way, don't stop knitting. There are lots of spring sweaters and tops to knit. Spring shawls are in fashion and easy to knit. Colourful socks for spring are easy to knit, with the many colours of sock wool out now. So have fun and continue to knit. It's very relaxing and calming. Knit some Easter Eggs and Happy Easter. Happy Knitting.

It's February! Time to knit for your loved ones. I'm almost ready to send out my crib blanket for my new nephew. He lives in Calgary,so I have to get it mailed out soon. Maybe I will knit a red scarf for Valentines Day. So wear red on this very heart felt day. Maybe red mitts or gloves. This would be a good project to work on as winter is still here. So have a Happy Valentines Day and give someone a hug on this day. Happy Knitting!!
