midnight crocheter midnight crocheter crocheting knitting and any type of yarn crafts or needlework that tickles my fancy some personal blogging too saturday february 23 2008 leafs nation beanie all done 1 that is leafs nation beanie 1 was completed last night here s a picture of little man wearing it and here s what he thinks of it on a different note here s what s slowly boiling on my stove right now a beef stock recently because i didn t have any in my freezer i had to resort to using some tetra version from the grocery store to my horror there were ingredients listed such as yeast and caramel colour yuck luckily i had saved the large beef bone from a roast don t worry it was in the freezer and i had some veal bones and stew meat that i had frozen after a visit to the local butcher a couple of months ago together with lots of veggies i included mushrooms this time too my stock is happily boiling away and making the house smell lovely after straining it later tonight i ll have many one two cup beef stock increments in plastic containers ready to freeze tetra canned no more for a long while labels child hat food knitting london beanie posted by maggie 8 20 p m 2 comments thursday february 21 2008 leafs nation beanie as soon as i finished the amanda hat i started to contemplate the new hats i had promised to make the boys demetri asked for one first well on saturday i attended my crochet guild s monthly meeting where a member was selling some stash i picked up a bag of discontinued mondial artico 8 balls navy and 2 balls dark charcoal for 5 a sure deal i figured the navy especially would be perfect to make things for the boys so i quickly made use out of it by casting on a new london beanie in the navy on monday demetri suggested adding two white stripes to match his toronto maple leafs scarf i m calling it the leafs nation beanie the yarn is bulky weight and i m using the 4 5 mm needle stated in the pattern hoping the tight stitches will make a nice warm hat it is however it turns out that it fits lucas the almost 4 year old to a t it s too small for demetri demetri is so good natured that he s ok with me finishing this one for lucas and then starting a new one for him i m starting on the decreases for the crown now i love this pattern labels child hat knitting london beanie posted by maggie 11 20 p m 1 comments monday february 18 2008 winter blahs and other ramblings you know it s february in toronto when it s dreary outside your one child has a low grade fever that came back after a day of supposed recovery and so you can t go anywhere your other child doesn t feel like doing his homework and you don t feel the greatest either the couch is just calling to you winter blahs at their best and it was raining today to boot so after humdrumming on the couch for a long while this afternoon i decided to make us some fresh homemade chicken soup with all the goodness of nothing artificial in it even the salt was sea salt a chicken leg quarter two whole chicken breasts and lots of veggies onions garlic potatoes carrots celery green pepper fresh parsley were the makings for a yummy chicken stock i kept around three cups for freezing and used the rest to make the soup we ate a wonderful dinner and i had lots leftover for freezing i m stocked for a while lots of wholesome goodness for everyone especially for the children lucas is doing much better with the fever now we shall see what tomorrow brings since it s family day tomorrow we want to go to the rom so we hope it will all be gone whatever his little body is fighting the poor thing also had chicken pox a couple of weeks ago so he s hardly been able to recover fully oh and had i known today that mushrooms contain vitamin d i would have included them in the chicken stock i learned about it on a tv commercial tonight then i wouldn t have to think of the opinionated lady who just had to tell me yesterday that lucas was looking quite gray and that he needs some vitamin d yes i bit my tongue number one out of respect for the other ladies around me number two because i didn t want my youngest to hear me arguing with someone of all the gall she s practically a stranger to me but just couldn t help herself to boot the child was wearing a gray top sweat pants so of course he looked gray little children don t wear lipstick to boost their colour like grown women do so unfortunately he couldn t help but look gray we all have this lovely gray pallor during the canadian winters what would make this any different for my 3 1 2 year old son but of course she had to continue on by saying that changing his shirt colour wouldn t help that she s raised or raising three and that she knows that he needs vitamin d well lady i assure you yet again that no my son doesn t have allergies and that yes his vitamin d intake is probably ok most likely the same intake as the majority of the population he s just had a few hard days in the past couple of weeks and did i mention that he had a fever last night but i brought him to the guild meeting anyway so would you like to watch him for me as i go to refill my coffee i m sure he d love to spread his germs and any other goodness he has to offer yeah i m still pissed at her even if i do know that she s opinionated and self righteous anyway and really shouldn t let it bother me you just don t say that to a mom and so openly in front of her child others too on another note i finished an amanda hat tonight i got inspired after roaming on ravelry and on a friend s blog it s made with mission falls 1824 wool in amethyst colour it s so nice soft very quick to make and i really got the hang of the lace pattern the only thing that bugged me is that after i finished the garter stitch ribbing at the beginning the wool was not so nice looking it s like the plies untwisted themselves and so most of the first section of the lace pattern doesn t look the greatest see pic below it s ok though i didn t feel like frogging the whole thing and starting again with the other skein the rest of it turned out ok plus i figured it s for me and no matter what it would look much better than anything else i bought i will note that i am not a hat person i just don t look good in them so i was really mulling over a variety of patterns for a long time and finally settled on this one in general this one looks good it s the first hat i ve made for myself and i m darned proud of it and thanks jennifer from the purple purl for helping me with choosing the yarn and here i am wearing my new hat i can t wait to wear it outside my head and ears will be thanking me i hope posted by maggie 12 09 a m 3 comments about me name maggie location toronto ontario canada living in maryvale a pretty and quiet
