Jo Knits!

blue or pink?

Well there's no baby to be born in nine months. I'm sad but at the same time I know it's not the right time for us either. It's not like we are even trying to conceive anyway. It's just that ACK! I see babies everywhere and my own baby will be 2 next month.

Oh good thing about being a low-income family in Canada are the tax refund checks!!! LOL! What a nice surprise to check the mail yesterday and find one of the checks to our name! :) Dh wants to put half of the amount on bills and then we split half of the rest together. He suggested I buy the Lamb's Pride worsted yarn I need to make the felted slippers I've been talking about. Ain't he a sweetheart? Well... I heard him talking to my mom... he's thinking that after making my 1st pair of slippers he can then have me make his own pair! LOL! That guy is slick! ;)

For those of you who read my blog and are interested in learning new knitting stitches or to simply start knitting here's a great place to start! Theresa is an online mommy friend that knits for a living, she has her own online store called: Little Turtle Knits. Soon her store will take a new turn and she will be selling handmade needles, yarn and patterns. Stay tune for more details 'cause this is a great Wahm to encourage. :) Here's the link to her Knit-along where she posted pictures of different stitches. I'll soon start on the knit-along, we will end up with some baby blocks for the kiddos to play with! So you learn and they get to play with the final product, hey neat is that? ;)

I think my ISP server space won't allow MoveableType scripts after all, so I'm not sure how I'll go about that. I had already planned on using the Plain Jane template so I'll have to look somewhere else to find a suitable script for the new site. Friday afternoon the kids will be at daycare and I'll devote that time to my website, 3 full hours without interruption. Hopefully I'll have inspiration that day too! LOL! ;)

That's it for now,

hugs and "don't just sit there, pick up those needles and knit something" :)

p/s: did you notice there's a new icon at the buttom of the page, don't be shy to click on it and check out other knitting blogs. I just joined the ring and many blogs are very interesting! :)

Here's a pic of the swatch I made using the Patons Classic Wool I have.
