Lifely update.

Today I am going to share some knitterly things, and some life things. My life, not life in general. Sorry, I'm not in a philosophical mood. 


I am working on many projects at the moment. My Maxfield Cardigan I'm sure you're getting sick of hearing about. 

Here are two of the that you haven't seen before: 

This is my sample Headband. I plan on writing up a pattern for it. It is made on Aran wool, so if you have some of that lying around and are eager to use it up this could be just the pattern! It uses under 50g  so it's ideal for single skein use up, or quick presents that look impressive but are super simple! 

Then yet another Stokholm scarf. I have made a few of these, they are simple, gorgeous and fun to make.  If you want to make one don't be daunted by it. There is one tricky stitch, but there is so much guidance on Ravelry that helped me get my head around it, so if you're stuck just ask me! I'm more than happy to help! 
 This one is for me. I love teal, its' my go to colour at the moment. My first one I used 200g of DK yarn, and this time I'm going to use 300g to make it plush and thick and warm. I'm using a needle size down from the one reccommended in the pattern to create a slightly firmer fabric. I did that with my first one as well. 


This is where I live. Not here exactly, but on the border of Mississauga and Toronto. One day, I want to live right downtown again. I love it down there. 


And this is my wee kitty Molly. She's tiny but she's the oldest cat in the house at a mature 7 years. She took to sniffing in my project bag for quite a while, but isn't much a playful cat so she wasn't too bothered with the contents.
