Blogaversary And A Day

I tried to post yesterday and the universe just didn't seem to want it to happen. I typed a blog post up and then lost it all and I was just too hot to try again. So here is the blogaversary post a day late.

I can't believe it's been 5 years since I started blogging. Granted I've been a bad blogger for a while and with the insanity of life that doesn't look like it will change any time soon. However, I still wanted to acknowledge the day (even if it is now a day late).

There has been knitting going on and even some FO's most of which are socks. I have more WIP's then I care to admit. Here is just a small sample of what's on the needles right now.

I'm knitting the Patchwork Shawl from WollZauber 01/2010 by Gerhard Schoppel. I'm using the yarn and colour that is in the pattern book because it's got purple and if you read my blog you know just how much I love purple. I've only completed 3 squares so far but as you can see the squares are knitted as you go so there is no sewing together at the end (just ends to tuck in).

The shadow shawl is past the halfway point. It's been so hot in Toronto recently that I just can't work on this right now.


These socks are just plain socks but the yarn is lovely. It has angora in it and the softness can't even be described.

Now I just hope the heat and humidity improve because +37C temps and feeling like +49C is just too hot for me.
