I finally finished sock scarf #1. It’s not terribly long and the yarn is a little itchy (which I think can be cured by washing it) but I really like it. Included in the picture is the world’s tastiest necklace-at least according to Emily’s children. I forgot to wear it the last time I saw […]

Hat pattern
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, making stuff is goodAs per request, best of luck deciphering it. I used Bernat Alpaca blend, which is a thicker yarn, and I think an H hook. But that might not be correct, but it’s a thicker one, Chain 3, use a slip stitch to attach into a ring. 1.Ch3 (first dc), work 10 dc’s into ring, sl […]

Serious addiction
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, making stuff is goodSince I started my first sock scarf, I have fallen in serious love with this yarn. The colours are great and the price (around $15 CAD with tax) ain’t too shabby. Scarf number two made for some serious fiddling last night, trying to decide on a pattern, and I ended up going with what I […]

Dessert
By Caitlin Jane in babies, food, making stuff is goodSupper was a bit of a bust for the women in the house, so we over compensated by making rice crispy treats. Guess who picked the colour. I also visited Emily and the babies, who seem to grow funnier and cuter every time I go. It’s amazing how different they each are, and we’d wondered, […]

Some opinions differ
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, making stuff is good, we have funI had another great day. We got to sleep in a little this morning, which was nice, and it didn’t rain. I call that amazing! I went for a bike ride, to Zeller’s, to get more yarn for gifts. Shannon and I weren’t able to get to Gillian and Clive’s wedding last month, and I […]

I made this for you, Shannon
By Caitlin Jane in making stuff is goodHe likes blue, but the darker blue was kind of ugly, so I went with this sky blue alpaca/poly blend, same like my hat: It’s a slightly different pattern, but it’s easier and faster than my hat, I think this whole hat only took about 2 hours total. And won’t we be so cute jumping […]

I made this for you, Ali
By Caitlin Jane in making stuff is goodShe asked for green and blue, and this is what I came up with: It’s sort of more green than blue, and it has a heart flower embroidered onto it. It’s big for her big head.

New hat
By Caitlin Jane in making stuff is goodShannon was really hoping it was for him (uh, it’s PINK, and everyone knows pink is for girls!) so I have to go out and get more yarn. Good thing it’s an easy pattern and only took a couple hours to work up, and I always love yarn shopping. I don’t have to work ’til […]

Spring has (almost) sprung.
By Caitlin Jane in food, making stuff is goodI read in the paper that winter is going to last another 6 weeks, and if that’s true, there could well be snow on my birthday. Which, if you were curious, happens each year with remarkable regularity on May 11th. An easy way to remember it this year is that it coincides with Mother’s Day. […]
