2nd Attempt at the golf club cover

So this was my 2nd attempt as i modified the pattern a bit to make it smaller. I still need to make a couple of modifications on the pattern and do two different colors on it as well. The yarn i used was a Worested weighted yarn.

First attempt at a golf club cover

So a buddy of mine wanted to buy golf club covers. When he found out i knew how to knit he asked if i'd be willing to make them. I said sure, something new to try. I did some research online in regards to a pattern. I figured a lot of them were too difficult so i decided to make myself one. This was the first product of the golf club cover. It was a bit big for the driver but it was a good indication of what i needed to change. I want to perfect the pattern a bit more before actually posting it.

Mommy and Callie time....

With the nice weather and the fact that it's still daylight out around 6pm i've been taking Callie on a walk when it's not cold outside. I took my camera as i find it fun to capture moments of Callie especially something she loves doing.









Oh yeah puppy has to go everywhere with Callie.

Happy 7th Anniversary

This is my Flash Back Friday!

My anniversary isn't until technically Monday but it's a great way to start a weekend. :D When i look at this picture i think wow Jeff has not changed. Me on the other hand, um yeah! I've probably put on 20-30 lbs (having a baby is no excuse anymore she's almost 3) My hair is even darker, way darker. I still even have my dress, veil and headpiece. I can't bare to get rid of it. I also love this picture becuase the date shows on it, April 26-2003!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HONEY!

Oh yarn how i love thee

So i've become such an avid knitter that i find it so theraputic i try to do it every night. I'll sit in front of the TV and let my fingers do the work. Some people ask how i'm able to do that and i have no clue but for me it's a great stress reliever. :) Finding something in your life that relieves stress is a great way to heal yourself after a day a long day of craziness.

Last weekend a couple of girlfriends and myself went to a yarn store in Listowel. I thought i'd share what i bought.

So what will i make with all of this you ask. Well i am in the process of learning how to make socks, i have an Afghan i am making for my sis and bro in law for their 5th year Anniversary! I am also making a shawl for myself and a golf club cover (with my own pattern)

What i'm currently reading....

I was walking through the mall on Monday and saw a book that said knitting. I only got the title as i didn't really have time to stop and read the back cover of the book. When i got back to the office, i googled the book and it sounded really interesting. So the next day i took a special trip to Chapters and bought it. I'm not that far in it, but so far from what i'm reading i'm enjoying it.

Oh how i love Yarn!

So this weekend a couple of girlfriends and i drove down to Listowel, Ont. (40 mins. from KW) to a Yarn store. When we pulled up the store was pretty small but i was not disappointed. There was so much yarn i was all giddy! Did i buy anything? Um, yeah of course i did! I spent the most out of the 3 of us. Sad as it may be, but i found so many cool yarns that i could make stuff with, well mainly for my 3 year old daughter. I have yet to attempt to make myself something, knitting smaller clothes is easier. But the bigger she gets the bigger the pattern. I'll have to try to take a photo of all the yarn i bought and show you what i plan to make with it.

They are currently having a huge sale http://www.spinriteyarns.com/ if you feel like checking it out!

Spring time outside

With the nice weather here it's time to spend our evenings and weekends outside with the child. Callie loves playing outside and it beats sitting inside trying to find ways to do something besides watching TV. Now that the weather is getting nicer each day it's a great way to burn energy and to help Callie sleep much better at night.

It's a twin thing

So this is my very first Flash Back Friday's. I've been following this really cool blog The Adventures of Christopher and Tia! Great blog if you have time to check it out, plus her kids are just too darn cute!

Thought i'd attempt my very first flash back Friday! I decided to start simple and use a picture of my twin sister and i as kids. We were inseperable growing up to the point of wearing the same clothes but Jess in Red and i was in Blue. To this day she wears Red and i wear Blue. We never wear each other's colors, only because i don't like Red and she's not a fan of Blue. Funny how you are programmed as a kid to wear a certain color. Apparently we also had a bit thing for Strawberry Shortcake and would wear this shirt relentlessly.

Now i look at this picture and i actually have no clue which one i am.

In just over a month....

I am heading to Montreal to the coolest Festival i have ever attended. I have attended other Music festivals, such as Edgefest, Summersault and a few others. This will be my first with this kind of festival and i am so excited for it!

Who am i really looking forward to seeing....well Covenant obviously but of course Rotersand. I've seen them before and they are amazing live! Tickets have been purchased, i have a place to stay, now i'm just waiting for the tickets to show up to make it even more real.

I finally saw it!

So last weekend the hubby and i were in Toronto for the King Tut Exhibit and on Friday night we decided to go see a movie. It's very rare we actually get a chance to go see a movie. Of course i wanted to see Alice and Wonderland and i finally convienced my husband to see it with me. Needless to say i loved the movie, but i could have done without the whole 3D portion of the movie.

On another note has anyone ever seen the Alice in Wonderland movie from the 80's. Alice through the looking glass. That is such a classic movie.
