Knitting Socks, Summer, and Reading On

 Hello Friends,


I hope you are doing well. I have been well I can't believe it is August this week! the time is flying by. My sister is having her second baby this month so I am excited to meet my nephew. As you approach the actual month of the due date it gets more real. I hope this month we continue to take advantage of the warm weather and take Evan to the park and new places. 

I actually frogged my previous sock because I realised I casted on too many stitches and it was looking bigger than I thought would fit comfortably. I then casted on 64 stitches instead of 72. I made some progress over the past few days after taking it apart to make up the time. I am still on the cuff but I think I will knit faster this week since I am happier with the size.  I am knitting My Favourite Vanilla Socks by Meaghan Schmaltz.



Evan is enjoying the park days and getting so busy! He will be 20 months on Tuesday this week. Getting closer to being 2 years old! I took Millie to the vet yesterday and she is doing well. I will be adding some new foods to her diet and maybe take her for more nail trims. She liked exploring the room before the vet came in and I think it helped her to be more calm during the check up. 



I am reading Verity by Colleen Hoover, I started reading it a couple of days ago and liking it so far. My coworker highly recommended it so I was excited to check it out. I have read a couple of her books already and like her writing. I am continuing to read Doing It All by Whitney Casares. 


Thank you for visiting my blog today! I hope you are having a good weekend and have a great week ahead!

Summer Days Knitting Socks and Reading On

 Hello Friends,


I hope you are doing well. I have been enjoying the weekend spending a lot of time with my little family. I am excited today we are having a baby sprinkle for my sister! It is her second baby and she is having another boy. I am looking forward to meeting my nephew very soon! We went to the park yesterday and Evan enjoyed walking around the grass area that is nearby. We are lucky to live by a big park with lots of shade and areas for him to explore. 

I have been continuing to knit the socks and just finished the cuff which was 1 1/2 inches and now just knitting in the round until the piece measures 6 inches. I like knitting the sock while while watching or listening to something on TV.




I have been continuing to read Doing It All by Whitney Casares. Last weekend I work on an exercise write down our current priorities and the time spent on them and then what we would prefer in our centered vision. This past week I really tried to keep my priorities in mind more and I have been making more efforts to exercise and spend time on home management. I have seen some improvements already and feel like I am really thinking about how I use my time more wisely. I will also be buying another fictional book to read this week as I usually like to have both a fiction and non-fiction book on the go.

Thank you for visiting my blog today! What are you working on this week and reading? I hope that you are also enjoying your weekend and have a great week ahead!

Knitting Socks and Reading On

Hello Friends,


I hope that you are doing well! I have been knitting the cuff of the first sock this week and I like the repetition of the k1,p1 of the cuff. One I am finished the cuff, I will move on to knitting until the piece measures 6 inches. I am following the pattern My Favorite Vanilla Socks by Meaghan Schmaltz on Ravelry.


I have been reading Doing it All by Whitney Casares. I feel like life is so busy lately since going back to work in May. I have been taking care of things around the house and want to work on more projects and tasks as well that I haven't been making time for.  I am enjoying reading this book to get tips and inspiration. 



Millie is doing well, I bought her a new cat dancer toy this week from PetSmart. It has Garfield on it with feathers and strings and catnip inside the soft ball. She has been really enjoying it. 


Thank you for visiting my blog today! I hope that you have a great week ahead! What are you working on this week?
