Together At Last...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

This evening I finally was able to join the two sections of my Starting Point Wrap:

This was a Mystery Knit Along over 5 weeks last spring!  Between working, being mom, taking care of a house hold, and pets and yard work in addition to all of the sewing I did to help out my neighbours business venture I got seriously behind.  

My goal for myself this year was to take care of me first and of course my family obligations but not to spend time helping others more than they do.  As such, I am starting to get caught up on some of my own things and am crafting for fun when I want to and not on someone else's agenda.  I craft for FUN and only when I want to!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Toyota Knitting...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Today was my weekly day off so it was errand day of course.  One of those errands was to get the oil changed in my Toyota Highlander and that of course meant a trip to Sherwood Park Toyota because the difference in price between the cheapy oil places and there is $4.00.  Seriously.

While the oil was changed and the car was given it's yearly servicing check up I knit!  I was able to finish the second part of my Starting Point Wrap:

Now to join the sides together and maybe I will have this done by the date this five week Knit A Long started last year.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Knit One.....

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Have been spending a little more time of late catching up on some of my started but never completed projects. 

One of these projects is the Starting Point Wrap that was a mystery Knit Along last spring.  As of this evening I can actually show that I have finished Step 3 on the second half:

Really hoping that I can get this done in the one year time frame.....everyone else did it in 5 weeks.....

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Canadian Moment....

Good Evening Internet Friends!

While my son was at swimming lessons today I enjoyed a bit of time to myself that I am referring to as my Canadian moment.

I had my Tim Horton's Steeped Tea and was knitting away on my Joji Starting Point Wrap of which 4 of the 5 skeins are from Canadian dyers:

Grey Sparkle - Sweet Georgia Yarns

Dark Blue Sparkle - Julie Asselin

Turquoise - Ancient Arts

Variegated - Ancient Arts

Only the Mid Blue Sparkle is not a Canadian Dyer.  That skein is one that I picked up last year Vogue Knitting Live last year in Las Vegas.  The yarn is from Forbidden Woolery.

Now I supposed it would have been more Canadian to be knitting this in a hockey arena, or a curling rink, or better yet while Ice Fishing, but this was the best I could do.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
