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.

Somedays I just want to bang my head against a brick wall...ugh

I really like Danielle Smith (leader of the Alberta Wildrose Party). I may not agree with everything the stand for becasue I still support the ND's all the way :) Danielle has changed her position on a few key platform after talking with the LGBTQ community. she helped with pet rescues in High River during the flood last week. She is a really neet lady :)

Some of the people that ran for MLA I just have to shake my head, wondering exactly what plannet they came from...ugh.

So Julie Mathews (troubleshooter for Global Edmonton) Posted a question on FB.

Do you know someone hurt by "sexting?

Sexting, or texting sexy photos and messages can do a lot of harm if that information falls into the wrong hands. With social media, data like this can spread quickly and have big consequences on your life. Many teenagers are especially impacted by this. If you know a parent of a teen or a teen willing to share their story please contact me at troubleshooter@globalnews.ca

Sext-Ed: Inside the sexting sub-culture of teens

This is so important as evidenced by a similar story done by W5. (Sext-Ed: Inside the sexting sub-culture of teens). Not sure why but Don Martin decided to put in his 2cents....ugh. I just shake my head some days! Julie is such as a sweet and Don was just so disrepectful!

Here are screen shots of what he said on Julie Page and on his own.

Talk about rude! So glad he didn't make it into government or the opposition!

Oh and because I don't agree with him I must be a "flipperless, lobotomized finger-painting walruses".

huh???

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.
