Growing growingā€¦. | Celtic Cast On

Thought it was time for a little update on Tadpole, I seem to be growing growingā€¦. We are 24weeks and 4 days now, hard to believe little Tadpole will be with us in a few short months. Moose and I went away for a little overnighter, probably the only one weā€™ll have for some time. Iā€™ve never actually left the dogs overnight since we got them almost 2 years ago… Read More »Growing growingā€¦. | Celtic Cast On

Temptation | Celtic Cast On

Even though I have 2 sweaters, one tunic and a sock to finish I feel myself being pulled towards the stash in search of something bright and fun to knit.

Ice Cold | Celtic Cast On

January was bitterly cold, wool hats, helmet liners, snowpants, nothing seemed to keep you warm. I had finally accepted the fact that I was going to be cold when I was outside and Iā€™d just have to suck it up and get warm when I came back in. Ā I cast my wellies aside in SEPTEMBER because my feet were too cold and I needed my winter bootsĀ to keep Ā my wee… Read More »Ice Cold | Celtic Cast On

Warming Up | Celtic Cast On

This year I decided that I would break out of my normal baking and cooking to try some new things that I love but have just never known how to make. Soup is something that I eat all year round but especially during winter, warms me right down to my toes. Iā€™m a pretty picky eater and had never really found a recipe for soup that I likeā€¦ that is… Read More »Warming Up | Celtic Cast On
