Sunday adventures

Hello!

I just got home from a whole day of shopping with my mom and sister and I am so tired now. I realise I am not as interested in shopping as I once was. It may be because I only wear polos and jeans 5 days a week for work and there's no need for any fashion sense there. Also the dresses that I used to get excited by to get all dressed up and go clubbing in only make me feel nostaligc now. I don't really go out clubbing anymore, don't know if it's a me thing or an age thing.

So this morning I knitted a lot of my friend's scarf for Christmas while I watched 500 days of Summer. This movie is so good for anyone who's broken up with someone just because the feeling wasn't there. It makes you feel less wierd for doing so.
I am tackling a mitten project now and it's not going so well but I must keep going because eventually I will knit them and forever have the skill of knitting mittens. I can't wait!

Okay that's it for now! hope you all had a great Sunday and I'll check in again tomorrow

Christmas is coming.... :)

Hello!

I did the counting down and it is 50 days away from CHRISTMAS! I love christmas time, it is one of my most cherished times of the year. I love the displays, the holiday drinks at Starbucks, the tree lights, the cheerfulness of the holiday, the happiness children feel when writing their lists. Best time of the year :)

I put together a collage with use of photos from weheartit.com to celebrate the coming of this wonderful holiday!

Loops & Threads Pom-Pom wool

Hello!
I got this cute wool from Michaels awhile back and decided to use it to make a cozy scarf :) It's called Loops & Threads Pom-Pom and I found it at Michaels. Here's a link to see the wool and the colors that it can come in.

This is what it looks like all bunched up in a ball...


Then once you knit with it for awhile it turns into just fuzziness


You can easily see the stitches on your needles, so it's not too difficult to knit with. I was thinking that binding off may be a little tricky though.

This is a close-up of what the wool looks like

It's fun to knit with so far and sooo soft! I recommend that this wool be on your knitting needles this winter.

Have a great day bloggers <3
