A couple of month ago, I made a plan of things I wanted to work on. It’s been semi-successful. The cockleshells gloves have been finished and I even made a pair of matching mittens for Lucas. The skein of Scrumptious DK in magenta has been knitted up – but I can’t show you, it’s one . . . → Read More: Time for Plan B

The pledge

That’s it. It’s decided. I am not buying any new yarn until the end of the year. That’s 4 months until 1st of January. That’s 122 days. Without. Buying. Any. New. Yarn. At. All. None. Whatsoever. (Was that painful to read? It was annoying to type, too!)

This actually involves us taking turn as the Little Man. Will. Not. Stop. Running. He was “late” with the walking, but as soon as he started walking, he . . . → Read More: No willpower whatsoever…

Woah, long time no post! It’s been so crazy busy the last few weeks that I haven’t really been able to sit down and blog. And to be honest, I haven’t been super inspired too.

I know, I know. I said I was going to post yesterday, but yesterday, when I went to take pictures for this blog post, the batteries of my camera were empty and I kind of forgot to put them to charge until this morning. I also said I was going to post about some knitting, . . . → Read More: Stash Enhancements
