Finished Knitting the Arches Baby Blanket

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. I am so happy to announce that I finished the baby blanket I have been working on for my baby since last November. It has taken me so long and I am proud to be done. I am a mom to a 10 month old baby and found time during naps and chances I could get to have a moment to knit. I followed the Arches baby blanket pattern on Ravelry and you can find links and more notes below.

Thank you for visiting my blog today! I am happy to share my finished project with you all. It has been a long time coming and I am so happy my baby can finally use it! He is one at the end of next month so I am finished just in time while he is still a baby lol I have casted on a pumpkin hat for Evan that I am excited about as well that I will be sharing with you next week. I am continuing to read It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover it is definitely a page turner for me and really enjoying it. What are you working on and reading this week? I hope that you had a great weekend and have a good week ahead.

Have a great day,

Knitting the Arches Baby Blanket

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. I haven't been on here as much lately time is going by so fast and the weekends are getting busier with plans with the warm weather here now. I've made more progress on my knitting and happy to say I am more than halfway done the baby blanket. I have 5 repetitions to go!  It has been a slow knitting project for me knitting when I can find a moment with a baby. I love how it is turning out so far. I am following the Arches Baby Blanket pattern on Ravelry by LJM Designs. I love how simple the pattern is written to follow it and how the pattern flows so nicely. I really love the design with the lace and think it won't be a really heavy warm blanket for Spring because of the eyelet stitches. Here are my notes on Ravelry so far.

I am reading Every Summer After by Carley Fortune. It is great so far when I can find time to read it is an easy read. I still have Book Lovers by Emily Henry on the go too. I will be reading both for awhile.

My friends came by to visit Evan this past weekend and brought these beautiful flowers. I was thinking of planting them outside since they came in a pot and I need some flowers outside right now. 

Joining along with As Kat Knits for Unraveled Wednesday.

Thank you for visiting my blog! I will try to post more frequently and keep to my Sunday posting schedule. I really love checking in here to update on knitting and life. I like reading your blogs too and will also try to make more time to visit you :) 

Have a great day!

Knitting Baby Blanket and Reading On

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. This week flew by being busy taking care of baby and knitting. This weekend we celebrated my husband Liam's birthday with his family and it was nice to see them again. It is feeling more like Spring here in Toronto this weekend. It was warmer and sunny out today and yesterday was a rainy and gloomy day. 

I made some progress this week on the Arches baby blanket by LJM Designs from Ravelry. I got another sequence of rows done this week so making some steady progress.  I am nearing the halfway mark I should be there by next weekend.

I am almost finished reading Book Lovers by Emily Henry and should be done this week. It is a great book and I like the characters will they or won't they type of storyline and love their chemistry. I will be onto reading Every Summer After by Carly Fortune. I got this book for Christmas and I am looking forward to reading it.
