MS Walk update

Maureen & I are on our way to do the MS Walk. We're just past Pasqua Hospital headed towards the ex grounds...

Twice in a day after so long!

My current WIP (now that I got the pic of the previous one straightened out...) is another bag, this one for Monique & I'm playing with the same pattern but have changed up the yarns a bit. We'll see what happens!
In Other News: there's lots of exciting soccer action at the Event Plex. Until May 3rd, the WCP Cup is there bringing mens, womens, youth-boys and, for the 1st year, youth-girls soccer action. The fans are a sight as well!
Gotta get cracking at the Mosaic planning as am totally going against some of the "suggestions" I'm supposed to be following. I like how I don't know what I'm doing after 5 years of doing the job, and there's been no complaints about it. Until now. Some people want everything changed. Not try a couple new ideas; that I have no problem with. No let's scrap everything and start again, with ideas we've rejected in the past because they weren't feasible!!!!!!!! But i don't know what I'm doing. I'm completing what I started thisa year and the lot of them can go hang next year! And good luck finding someone else willing to put the time into it all. Will be nice to do a couple shifts and go home as soon as I'm done dancing of an evening... They have no idea how much I really do take care of; but they will!
Enough ranting. It's my day off. Will now head for home and wrap presents for Hannah's birthday (#5 tomorrow!) and Sarah's little girl: Nola Charlotte. Happy thoughts for happy little people...

Bernie's Bag!!!

This is the bag for Bernie's birthday. I used 3 shades of Bernat Satin, and the pattern is the "Bottom's Up" bag from Elise Duvekot's book "Knit One Below" (which is fabulous BTW!!) Especially love how the varigated (Florals) swirled through the piece; it looks so cool!

Oops...

Been a bit of awhile... have gotten hung up on Twitter and then I got stuck working 3 weekends in a row and couldn't get here to update anything. And apparently the pic of B's bag didn't get here so will have to resend it... WCP Cup going on now; awesome soccer in Regina www.wcpcup.com Check it out!

Happy New Baby/Sweater Done

Here's the sweater for Sarah's little girl, who arrived a few weeks early but is fine and dandy. Just finished the 2nd sleeve. Haven't run the ends in yet. (Well, she got here earlier than expected! I was working with April 2 as a deadline!)

Some Really Cool News...

The first bits have nothing to do with knitting, or the kittens, but is so totally cool I have to share it.
Firstly Great Big Sea is going to perform at the Junos on March 29! They're also up for (?)Group of the Year! This is soooo awesome and I'll actually watch more than 5 mins of the program this so I don't miss them.
Secondly, Russell Crowe is starring in a new Robin Hood movie. (This isn't the truly great part) Guess who's been cast to play minstral/troubadour Allan A'Dayle! Alan Doyle!!! One of our favorite minstrals! Is that type casting or what?! Alan on the big screen... (Too bad no Sean or Bob though... And no Kris or Murray... Especially Murray...)
I've added another links list to the sidebar: non-knitting yet very important sites. GBS, Shaun the Sheep and Wallace & Gromit. I'm listed under my first name on GBS (Sile), and as Muirin on the other 2 as my name was taken already! (Can you believe that? There's another Sile running around out there!)
In knitting news: I'm pleased to say that as of Tuesday (March 3), Bernie's sweater-jacket is done!!! Finished the washing, sewing on of loops and toggle on Sunday, but has been in her possession since Tuesday. And she loves it so all is wonderful.
Sweater for Sarah's baby: I'm well onto the sleeves now.
That's all the excitement from this end of things!
