I’ve had to get creative and am continually searching for things to snack on.

Simply choose one or two or ten of… Read More »Lily Kate Spring KAL | Celtic Cast On
Last weekend we loaded up the old snowmobile and headed out in search of some Ice Caves. Not far from where we live there are some snowmobile trails that we knew would take us to this spot. Moose and T went down first so I could get some shots from above. There were ropes tied from tree to tree that were a great help getting down…and up. Otherwise you’d have… Read More »Ice Caves | Celtic Cast On

Pattern:Kouyou by Angela Tong Yarn: Elsbeth Lavold Silky Wool Needles: 4.25mm circs I used a liittle over 2 skeins of Elspeth Lavold Silky Wool to make the sport weight version of this shawl.

Poor Moose doesn’t get much blog time, I think he’d rather T have his share, but right now Moose needs your help! He is competing for a last chance to get onto Wipeout Canada. Those of you in the States I’m sure have seen Wipeout before, in the U.K. I believe its Total Wipeout. The show is basically one giant obstacle course that you and 19 other people tackle. There… Read More »Vote Moose!!! | Celtic Cast On
