Finished Object Friday: Love Note Sweater by Tin Can Knits
Beautiful, soft, luxury, feminine, cozy, light; these are all words I would use to describe this wonderful top I knit using our Singleton base help with silk/mohair from Riverside Studios.
The pattern is Love Note by Tin Can knits and it is fabulously written and easily adaptable to your own style and needs. -
Free Downloadable Calendar - January 2020
Happy New year and welcome to 2020! I will admit that I am still working on setting goals and trying to outline what this year will look like for RSBSY. I feel that this year will be full of changes and adjustments as life is getting busier and am about to embark on a personal journey of sorts unrelated to the yarnie world. -

Surprise Party Shawl by Helen Stewart
Hey guys,Welcome back! Ash and I had an awesome weekend last weekend! I decided that it was unfair that I didn't get March break anymore and decided to take an extended weekend to Ottawa to visit the fam! I even made it down early enough to have an impromptu knit night with a couple of friends that I don't get to see nearly often enough. We had a blast! We ate some amazing food and I learned the hard way that gin and tonic should never be mixed with knitting. I cast on the second mitten of my Log Cabin Mitts and realised too late that the spiral of the logs flips directions after the centre and had to purl the next couple logs to prevent a weird gap. I'm definitely going to have to try this pattern again (sans gin) to find out exactly where I went awry. In any case, both mitts are done and blocked and the ends are in the process of being woven in. (To be honest, that was supposed to be yesterday's project but the train rides in and out of Toronto were so comfy, I managed to get two solid naps in.)All of this gets away from the real point of today's blog, which is THIS BEAUTY: -
New Year, New Plans, New Cast Ons

It is more of a dream list because lets face it, there is very little knitting time in my life at the moment and I am not too sure if that will change. There is also a huge pile of wips that have to be finished up but more on that in another post.
Stop by the blog and see what I have been dreaming about
