Knitting the Baby Blanket, Project Plans for Fall, Reading On

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are having a good day. I have been busy with Evan and he is wanting to walk (assisted) everywhere now. He is getting stronger so he lets it be known where he wants to walk to. He is so interested by Millie as she approaches and he laughs and tries to catch up to her. She mostly runs away from him probably thinking that he can grab her quickly and he does sometimes but he also does a lot of gentle pats as we also model for him.  Below is a photo of Evan at the Vtech learning walker we got him recently. He loves to play peekaboo with the barn door. One day I was hearing peekaboo over and over.

I have been knitting the blanket and got to the end of the 16 row repetitions of the pattern I had to knit 13 times. I am now moving on to the knitting 9 rows to end the blanket and bind off at the end. I realised I needed more yarn, so I ordered some from Michaels today along with some other yarn for upcoming project. I can't wait to be finished and then  I will wash and block the blanket so he can use it.

I am continuing to read It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover. I read a bit each night and I look forward to this time to wind down before bed. I am enjoying the story so far and am always interested in what will happen next. I am happy to have incorporated some reading into each day. I love reading and want to read more books. 

I am planning on knitting Evan a pumpkin hat for our upcoming Fall trip to the pumpkin patch. I found a cute pattern on Ravelry called Cozy Pumpkin Hat by Ksenia Naidyon. I bought two skeins of Patons Canadiana Yarnspirations yarn in the colorway pumpkin and also green yarn for the stem and vine in the colorway Spring Green. I also plan to start knitting Evan a stocking for Christmas which I will start soon as well to be done in time. I was thinking of making one to match Millie's. I knitted her one a couple of years ago with her name on it.

I still love my Yarn & coffee mug from Yarn Mamas a long time ago. I look forward to my cup of coffee when Evan is down for his first nap around 10 now. I like to have the pumpkin spice Silk creamer now that it is pumpkin spice season. They also have a peppermint mocha flavour I will have once it is Christmastime.

Thank you for visiting my blog today! I hope that you are having a good day. It is Thanksgiving this upcoming weekend for us in Canada, so I will be busy this week and weekend getting ready for my family to come over. My mom will be helping me to make the turkey this year at our place. Looking forward to that time together and to have a delicious meal with my family. It is Evan's first Thanksgiving, so we are so happy he will be sitting with us at the table in his highchair.  

Hope you have a great day!
