On the Needles
Off the Needles
No pattern. My own design.
Brainstorming
-A blanket for my niece. Debating these patterns (or others!) for Cascade 220 Superwash in Mystic Purple
Pattern ideas- from 60 Quick Baby Blankets
From the Armchair
Summary- A great eBook with patterns for babies, toddlers, children and their parents. Favorite patterns: Gramps cardigan & Lumberjack socks. I think for about $13 US there's a lot of great patterns in a wonderful range of sizes for your money. Definitely give this a look!

On a Happy Note
Coconut oil is great for shaving (instead of soap or shaving cream) and mixed with an equal amount of baking soda for deodorant.
Knitting in Passing
Dan and I had our niece and nephew for the weekend.
After a fun-filled exciting morning out they were more excited to get back to our house. Why? So they could do 3 things.
Clean the toilet with baking soda and vinegar (volcano!!). Ride in the big yellow truck (aka the backhoe). Use the knitting machine (aka wind yarn with my swift). Too cute!
Quote of the Week
If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do.

p.s. Sorry for a bit of background noise in a couple of the segments. I was playing around with recording in the car. Apparently I still need to tweak that!
