Jo Knits!

shawl and throw

I am only a few rows away from ending the main part of my shawl!!! I am so excited, then I will pick up on two sides and keep on knitting and soon enough this shawl will be DONE! I couldn't be happier, I really like knitting this and might, just might save up for a Colinette Absolutely Fabulous Throw At around 250$ Canadian, YES, that would be an expensive project but some things are just plain worth it! Also on this UK Kangaroo site the kit is 52£ which converts to les than 120$ Can. of course shipping would be pretty steep from the UK and then paying customs fees but still, could it be worth it? I think knitting a throw is less scary to me than knitting actually clothing, as a throw doesn't need to fit on anyone! lol! More so it is comfy to watch tv with! teehee! You can click on the Colinette colorways to have a bigger image, I really like that Amethyst one. :)

Last night I went out with dh for a little 'romantic' supper, well at least with no kids in tow. It was nice, he did realize that not being home much was affecting everyone but he also knows that working on this weekend contract is worth the money. I simply said, "ask the kids if it's worth it!" I think he got what I meant. Even at our poorest the love in this family is what made us go through tough times. Money comes and goes but the bonds we are building with the kids will last a lifetime. Teeny tiny bonus, he might have a day off this week, HA! I'll make sure to keep him busy on that day. ;)

hugs,
