So here's the final products! I even made most of the toque myself. And afterwards, with the remaining yarn, I made a baby toque for my nephew. Hopefully it fits by the time I get it to him. Hit the jump for pics :)
So my neighbour offered a while ago to make me a scarf, as he got into knitting. Today we went to Michael's, bought thread, and started the project. I even got to do some of the knitting myself! Hopefully it'll all be ready soon, and I'll post final pictures when it's done.
Yes it's true, I FINALLY did something manly in the house. I replaced our white range hood with a sleek and sexy stainless steel one. Why you may ask? Was it so that the house would look more put together when we sell? Maybe... Was it to avoid doing other work? Possibly....but more importantly, it was to prove I could do it, and I got to play with my new drill set too.
Today was a wonderful day. I don't know how else to explain it. We finished our decor appointments and everything is settled with the house (except you know, getting it built). To celebrate Jackie and I treated ourselves to dinner at Milestones (while trying to stay conscious of what we ate), and had probably one of the best conversations we've had in a long time.
It's a late one tonight. Went into the big city to meet up with some Laurier friends I haven't seen in a long time. Was amazing to catch up and reminisce. We are all so old now. Hopefully it won't be this long before we all see each other again.
Every year I fall into the same pattern. Cheer for the Leafs. Get excited for the Leafs. Get disappointed by the Leafs. Keep a faint hope alive by the Leafs only to have it washed away. Have them show signs of life and pick up my spirits that maybe I'm wrong about the team. Tonight was no different.
So this week will be hectic. Sales meetings today and tomorrow, and a Leaf game to attend after another meeting on Thursday. But I'm trying to at least update with a picture a day
