Hello friends,
I hope you are all doing well and had a wonderful weekend. Happy first day of Spring! I finished the infinity scarf and it ended up being 60 inches long in order to wrap around twice. I have loved working with this soft, chunky in this deep navy blue color. The yarn is Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick and I used size US 13 needles.
On Thursday last week, I baked banana bread. It seemed like the perfect day to make it, my boyfriend was sick and I thought this would make him feel better. The Betty Crocker mix was delicious, my boyfriend and I went back for seconds. It was so soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside and so warm and comforting when it first came out of the oven. I will definitely be making this one again!
I have been knitting the front piece of the sweater, it is getting longer. I will share the sweater progress on my Wednesday post. I knitted a bit more of the sock and I am enjoying how the yarn makes a pattern on the sock and is changing colors it makes it more interesting to knit up. I know the socks will probably look different too making them unique.
I donated blood on Saturday morning for the first time. I have wanted to donate for a long time. It was fun going with my sister and some other people we know. It feels good to give back and I feel like the blood I donated will make a difference in someone's life. I felt tired the next couple of days but now I am feeling more rested and energetic. I was given the sticker below to wear while I was there because it was my first time donating, I thought it was cute, people should get these stickers when starting anything new... be nice to me!
I got this plant and pot as a gift from my boyfriend's father and step mother yesterday, I love it! Another plant to add to the growing collection! I am up to nine plants now. I have one of those Ecocube flower kits I will start once it is warmer that I got for a gift at Christmas so I will have ten plants in the apartment!
Thank you so much for visiting my blog and I hope that you have a good start to your week! If you liked this post and want to read more, please follow my blog on Bloglovin' and Google Followers! Have a great day!

When are you making more banana bread?
ReplyDeletePS. you have too many plants ;)
haha maybe next week :) I know I am cut off at 10 plants now. No more plants for now!
DeleteThe cowl looks like it would keep you toasty warm in the nastiest of winter weather.
ReplyDeleteThank you, it is very warm I tested it out today and it withstood the cold breeze and kept me very warm.
DeleteThe infinity scarf has come out lovely and I like the colour you chose, it should go with lots of different outfits. I love gardening but have very few house plants, just orchids, but I do like the one gifted to you and that pot holder is so cute. Well done giving blood, it's such a worthwhile thing to do, you never know when you might need some yourself.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jo! I love orchids they are pretty. Thank you, I was thinking that myself, that it goes both ways too and we can all use the blood in case of an emergency.
DeleteLovely cowl, yummy cake, beautiful plant ( love the vase) and generous girl ( for giving blood ) !!!!

Your new cowl looks snugly warm. You will need it the next couple days! I live just down the road from you in a Brighton and I hear we are to be cooler.
ReplyDeleteYour banana bread looks delicious! I think I will make one today too.
Have a good day
Thank you, it is very snuggly and warm I tried it out today. I hope you enjoyed some banana bread too! Have a good day!
DeleteI love your cowl and the way it loops twice around the neck, that is always a must for me :) Gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen, I am glad you like it! I love when it loops around twice too.
Deletethat is the way banana bread should always be - i love when it is a little crisp on the outside!!
ReplyDeleteyour cowl is beautiful and it looks amazing on you pretty girl!!
thanks for donating - i personally appreciate it!!!
It was very delicious especially right out of the oven! thank you! I enjoyed knitting it. You're welcome I really liked giving back and donating is such an important thing to do I respected the people at the clinic for helping us donors and the people who were there who had donated before. I will definitely be going back again!
DeleteHope your boyfriend is feeling better by now, that bread should have perked him up. Good for you donating blood. I can't because of past radiation treatments but would love to help if I was able.
ReplyDeleteThank you Meredith, he is much better now. I think the bread did help! Yes, I am happy to donate and it is very important that those of us who can, do help out. Have a good day!
