Anything Knitted and Crocheted: Well today is a big day...it is my wedding anniversary.

Anything Knitted and Crocheted

Welcome to my blog. I hope to blog about my knitting and crocheting as well as everyday life. The patterns that I post are original and as such there is copyright on them. When they are based on another pattern there is a link to the pattern.

My husband and I adopted a beautiful dog named Leo. He is a dachshund and absolutely adorable! we adopted him on June 23, 2010 and he has become the love of our lives.

I love to share patterns that I find along the way or to talk about some of the neatest designers that are out there today, so I love to post links to the designs or the designers.

So grab a cup a and sit and enjoy the blog.

Well today is a big day...it is my wedding anniversary.

B and I got married 2 years ago today at 1:00 pm. We are actually planning on going out today as we didn't get to last year as I was so sick. I had been hoping that this year would be better, at least I am not sick and in the ER this year. I am still dealing with plenty of pain, due to the shoulder injury.

We had a pretty good year this year, once the hospital visits were over in September. We went to Niagara Falls for a family wedding, one of B's nieces. Christmas was hectic as usual and B moved to his permanent office on the south side. This was the first year that C didn't come to visit on any of the holidays. Hmmm, maybe he could come for Christmas this year, if he would like. I know JR would love it! He really does misses C.

It has been fairly quiet around here, except the roofers are here now, which means plenty of noise...lol. We are having the roof done, the windows replaced and siding. So hopefully it will be alot warmer this winter. I hate the cold! Although what did I expect, it is Central Alberta afterall, known for the minus 40 Celsius wind chills.

So here is to another wonderful year together, B. I love you.

The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge

The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge - A requirement for all Knitting Scouts, the recipient must do his or her bit to present knitting in a positive light, whilst at the same time avoiding all references to “hipness”, grandmothers, and yoga.

I’m always doing my part in this arena whether it’s spoken or written like in this blog. I teach at my local community league, which was a fluke. I am involved in the Alberta Avenue Initiative and was asked to teach both knitting and crochet. I start with dishcloths as it gives the basics.

The “MacGyver” Badge (Level One) - The recipient must demonstrate clever use of a non-knitting tool in a knitting-related scenario. For instance, recipient has used paper clips as stitch markers, or successfully whittled and then utilized bamboo skewers as dpns.

I’ve used all kinds of things as stitch markers when none were available, and have found clever ways of knitting cables without cable needles using skewers.
