Well I at least left my house today.
I met up with Brenda for coffee while her car was being fixed. It was so nice to catch up and talk knitting.
I also went for a massage and tried to find donuts. The massage was great, but I haven’t found the donuts yet:(
Knitting:
I didn’t exercise today because I had the massage, so I had lots of time for reading, knitting and scrabble.
I realized I hadn’t shown you the last sweater I finished.
It’s called Girl’s BestFriend and its a free pattern on Ravelry. I really love the ravelry one but this one has none of the lovely details because the yarn wouldn’t have shown them. It was super easy and quick and I have plans to make another.
I also wanted to show you the yarn I got in Burns Lake. The black are two toque kits and the blue is going to be a scarf I think so that all my outer wear will come from the North.
Finally, Brenda was a bad influence and I ordered the same kit her and the other lady we knit with ordered. I guess we’re going to have a knit along. I’ve never used a kit before so we shall see how it goes.
I also casted on a new top today, but you’ll have to wait to see that.
Have fun!

I just said to my husband, I think I want to get a massage!! I got quite a few last summer and they were wonderful and I miss them greatly
You should totally go!
I had a couple last summer and they were just so relaxing and amazing
Your top turned out great! Looking forward to seeing your northern winter accessories 🙂 What are you all KALing?
Thanks. The new project is a kit for the weekender sweater, but it probably won’t be here until late August. It’s coming from Fibre Co- they had it in my favourite colour
Nice! Looking forward to seeing it 🙂
Lovely top!
Thank you!
That sweater’s lovely, I really like the short sleeves. And hooray for northern knitting – what a nice memento.
I’m happy with it too! I am in the habit of buying yarn instead of souvenirs and then I can make my own souvenir:)
You’re so talented! The sweater looks great!
Oh thank you but all I really do is follow a pattern:)
Enjoy your day! I am finishing up all my sewing photos and reviews today….I hope. It is cool and rainy so I might even pick my Orkney and do a few rows. It’s been way too hot lately!
We are in the middle of our hot week. We usually get one super hot week a year and this seems to be it as it is 30 or above every day! I have to make the cream berry cake later so my place is going to be stifling
I am waiting for a cool day, but the weather this week looks fairly promising.
I had run out of time, but today is better- I should have waited!
Nice sweater! Hope you find some donuts and nice yarn!
Thank you. I did finally find donuts
What a cute sweater! I can imagine it in so many different type of yarns.
Yes I think the next one will be a darker, fine yarn so I can do all the details
